OMG, this is such a FUN movie! You know? Like, it’s just fun to watch! No stress, no hangups, pure joy. Even ends with an end credits song literally saying that, all about returning to dance and song and joy. You should 100% watch it and NOT read the SPOILERS review until you do. Or do read it, it’s also a movie where 99% of the joy is in the spectacle, not the plot.

I actually have a random 3 day vacation this week. Well, not random, I’ve been working a lot of extra hours to cover for co-workers so I am taking a day to make-up. Anyway, I think I am going to take a weekend to just have a break and breath, and move watchalong to Monday. Or not, if no one is free.
Continue readingSaturday WatchAlong: Should We Watch Sanak? Or Something Rani? Or Emraan-y?
My office is short staffed this week, so I’ve been a bit work-swamped. Especially since I had to take 2 and a half hours off yesterday for stupid Albie Dog’s vet visit to confirm he just had an upset tummy. Anyway, sorry! This is super last minute! And it has to be Saturday or Sunday or something, because I’m working late Friday.

Happy Saturday! I am having a PJ day, assisted by curbside pick up and sweatpants that fit over PJs. But that’s no reason y’all can’t talk.

My goodness that was a late night! The concert started late (shocker), and then ended around 11pm. I was giving my friend a ride home so I didn’t get home myself until 1am. And then, and the Upstairs People are very proud of me for this because it is so indulgent and youthful, I ordered White Castle at 1am because I was STARVING. And then I went to sleep and then I woke up and then I went to sleep again, and now here we are.
