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. (I originally wrote “fanfic-y pots” and I almost left it because I like the idea of fanfic pots). This post also was much longer than I realized, thus being a day late to post!

Wednesday Watching Post: What Are You Reading and Watching and Thinking and Listening to in the Middle of Shahrukh Month?
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.

I’ve got the plumbers in today, blech, so I am thinking about water. I shall do a water themed post! And SRK looks so good wet anyway.
Continue readingWhy I Turn to Shahrukh for Spiritual Support: Plainfield, IL and My Name is Khan
This story really hit me hard. It is in my community, I know the groups that are speaking out, the community center where they held the press conference is walking distance from my house. 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. And that’s why I turn to him, because he is always there for me, the things I am feeling that I cannot say, he has already felt and said them.
Continue readingI Finished Ponniyin Selvan!!! I Have QUESTIONS!!!! Please Say You Have Answers!!!!
I did it! All 5 books! I now know everything! Except not, because I got super confused by some of the plot twists. Please help! Oh, and feel free to join in the convo even if you just watched the movies, that should give you enough basic background to follow along the arguments and maybe fresh eyes will see something I missed.
Continue reading30 Days of SRK 12: 12 Reasons to Love Jawan’s Daddy SRK
Yes yes, I missed another day! But I missed it because I was busy seeing Jawan in theaters for the 4th time, and doing a watchalong of Guddu, so I think that is allowed.
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me DURING SRK MONTH???
Happy Monday!!! And Happy 13th Day of SRK! I am entering my Week of Misery, plumbers are coming to rip out and replace all the pipes tomorrow and Wednesday, followed by plasterers to clean up after them Thursday and Friday. Be prepared for a lot of self-pity from me.
Continue readingWeekend WatchAlong: 7am Chicago Time! Guddu! SRK’s Worst Film!
Yaaaaaaaaaaay! It’s early, it’s chilly, I’m ready to make fun of SRK! Oh, and because it is SO early, if no one joins within 15 minutes, I’ll call it and let it go.
Continue reading30 Days of SRK 11: 11 Tuxedo Photos
I do love SRK in a tuxedo. And I am very grateful that he wears so many of them, and they are so well fitted. Also, if Joyomama wants to swing in and actually define what a tuxedo is, that would be great! Because I am pretty sure I included some here that are not technically tuxedos.
Continue reading30 Days of SRK 10: 10 Quotes! (I did it! I caught up!)
Okay, 20 days from now is November 1! So I think I caught up. After 30 days, it is Birthday Eve, and then there is a separate celebration for Birthday Day!
Continue readingWeekend 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 may not be using these words right, and I am DEFINITELY not using all the sweet urban slang out there that could be applied. So fill in my gaps!
Continue reading30 Days of SRK 8: 8 Songs With Amitabh!
The songs continue!!! And I missed Amitabh’s birthday this year too, so might as well throw that in.

So close to catching up! Today is really day 10, and I made it to 7. Anyway, SONGS! One of the best things to talk about with SRK. And too many options so I’m gonna artificially limit it to my favorite of his songs with kids.
Continue reading30 Days of SRK 6: 6 Daboo Ratnani Photos!
Love him or hate him, Daboo is definitely THE photographer for Hindi film. And he works really well with SRK.

Happy Thursday! It’s SRK Month! So we absolutely most do a watchalong to celebrate. What should we watch????
Continue reading30 Days of SRK 5: 5 Scenes to Die For!
You will have to use your imagination for these! Or rather, your memory. I’ll describe, and if you don’t remember it, I think that means you need to go back and watch the movie.

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.
Continue readingDCIB Book Club: Scarlett Pimpernel! Romantic, Adventure, Period Drama, AND Interesting Ethical Issues! Discussion Sunday October 28th
It’s all our favorite things! And it’s sort of appropriate for Halloween weekend? Because it’s about disguises and stuff.
Continue readingMonday Morning Questions: What Do You Want to Ask Me on America’s Indigenous People’s Day?
Happy Monday! It’s nice and chilly in Chicago and I got out my space heater that has a fake fire in it. The heater part isn’t turned on, but the fire image alone is making me feel cozy and warm.
Continue readingDCIB Book Club: Scarlett Pimpernel or Dracula????
Yes! It is book club time again! And I am suggesting two of my FAVORITE books. Which are also a bit old-fashioned and out of date and easy to find for cheap or free. All the best things!
Continue readingWednesday Watching Post: What Are You Watching and Reading and Thinking and Listening to the First Week of October???
Happy Wednesday! It’s the start of Halloween Season! I put little Ghost standees up in the yard and they look all friendly, plus our “Trick or Treat” welcome mat. And, of course, I’ve had Albie’s costume for WEEKS already. I won’t tell you what it is so you can be surprised.
