30 Days of SRK 15: 15 Book and Movie and TV Characters I Want Him to Play

I made it halfway through the month without a fanfic-y post! Go me! I love fanfic-y posts, but I think they are probably more fun for me to write than for you to read.

Happy Wednesday! My pipes are (mostly) done! Next week, new sink gets installed finally! Ever since the whole “my kitchen flooded and the floor was destroyed” back in February, I’ve been using a really funky temporary sink and it is time for a real one. And then NO MORE KITCHEN CHANGES EVER.

And also, it is just so sad. So so so so sad. I was reading the article thinking, “I don’t even know how to express how I feel”. And then I remembered, Shahrukh already expressed it for me.

Weekend WatchAlong: Shahrukh Month! GUDDU! Arguably His Worst Film! Sunday at 7am Chicago Time

I’ve been avoiding this not because it is terrible, but because the version available streaming is incomplete. However, the minute length seems to have changed? So I have hope! And if it is still incomplete, you just have to let me summarize the missing bits for you.

I’m 8 Days Late To Start 30 Days Of SRK! I am the WORST FAN!!!!! (Post 1, 1 Smile)

I’ve had this terrible feeling I’m forgetting something, and I also kept somehow feeling like it was still September not October. And NOW I KNOW WHY!!! I know SRK will forgive me, but will you? Actually, why didn’t y’all remind me? It’s YOUR fault! YOU are the bad fans! Or at least, equally bad as me. And now I have to do 8 posts in rapid succession to catch up.

Wednesday Watching Post: What Are You Watching and Reading and Thinking and Listening to the First Week of October???
