Happy Monday! It was supposed to be hot with thunderstorms today and instead it is hot WITHOUT thunderstorms. I appreciate the sunshine, but I do not appreciate having to water my yard, blech.
Continue readingHappy Tuesday! Which is the start of the work week in America, because we all got Monday off, yaaaaaaaaaay! And now I am back at work and sad. Although happy it is only a 4 day work week.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! I am soooooooooooo excited to have a 3 day weekend this week. I’ve gonna tackle Box Mountain in my front hall, mow the lawn, maybe sit down and do a whole puzzle start to finish.
Continue readingGenevieve’s birthday pick! Which does look generally seem fun and watchalong friendly and all of that. But also, I haven’t gotten a HUGE number of RSVPs, so this is one of those weeks where I will give it 15 minutes and then call it if no one else has shown up.
Continue readingYaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, WatchAlong! For Genevieve’s birthday!!!! A very very silly Bhangra movie, first thing on a Sunday morning.
Continue readingI mentioned on the Wednesday watching post that I’ve recently hit a string of podcasts about messy relationships between young women and older men, which often end in violence. As I listen to them, it’s making me rethink a lot of assumptions I’ve had about these relationships and sort of unpack how I feel about them.
Continue readingGenevieve late Birthday WatchAlong! Genevieve, you get to pick the day/time because I know your life is complicated right now. And you’ve already picked the movie!
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! It’s a lovely lovely day here and it’s my early work day (I start early and leave early), so I am happy!
Continue readingYaaaaaaaaaaaaay, Mother’s Day! And yaaaaaaaaaaaay, classic 70s movie discussion! And yayayayayay, Zoom meeting! I’ll summarize what we said on Zoom so y’all can participate through comments.
Continue readingYaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, I get to see all your lovely faces!!!! And also talk about Aradhana!!!! For MOTHER’S DAY!!!!
Continue readingYaaaaaaaaay, a Zoom Discussion! Hopefully this gives y’all enough time to watch the movie. Cleverly, I scheduled it late enough that I have the option of just watching it between the end of my work day on Friday and the start of the Zoom.
Continue readingLet’s stick with the long ridiculous 70s movie theme! And also feminist! Sharmila is 100% the hero of this movie, even if it was Rajesh Khanna’s big break.
Continue readingThis is a suggestion from adh1325 and it’s a great one! Everyone loves Masoom, right? And there is soooooooooooooo much to discuss!
Continue readingDO NOT read this without seeing the movie! It’s a film that will reward re-watching, but you really should experience it first without knowing what is coming, it was built to provide surprises, let the film do what it was intended to do. And then, AFTER watching it, come back here to discuss.
Continue readingThis was a good good good good movie! Very classic murder mystery, in that it’s all about the place and the characters and so on as much as the details of the central mystery. With that in mind, also be warned that it has a bit of a grey view of human nature. Everyone can do good things and bad things, and everyone has secrets, it’s a thinker of a movie.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I have two exciting things happening today! First, I may have Jury duty! I’m supposed to call in the afternoon to find out if I have to go in tomorrow. First Jury duty EVER. Second, I just started doing simple Core exercises in an attempt to stop having a sore back all the time. So far I have learned that my core muscles are ridiculously weak.
Continue readingFinally the actual watchalong post! It’s time! I got my dinner (butter chicken! I made it myself by pouring sauce from a jar onto chicken!) and I am very happy.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I am very VERY excited about doing a WatchAlong with y’all. My housemates are spending the day at C2E2, the huge Chicago fanfest which sounds crowded and unpleasant. Thank goodness I can celebrate my fandom from my couch with my dog and my lovely internet friends!
Continue readingWow, it’s been a long time since I did a TGIF! But I am finally back in the situation that inspired them. It’s Friday, I’m working from an office, I’m bored and Friday brain, but doing this TGIF makes it look like I’m still working.
Continue readingWatchAlong! Woot-woot! We haven’t done on in foreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever. And we can finally watch Kuch Naa Kaho because it is available for rent on Prime!
Continue readingFirst, sorry sorry sorry, I just realized I missed Angie’s birthday! But I put Genevieve’s on my personal calendar so I would DEFINITELY not miss it!
Continue readingHappy Monday! I got home yesterday afternoon and I kind of want to just sit and stare into space all day. But I can’t, because it is a work day, blech!
Continue readingI’m so excited! I’m doing a last minute lightening visit, ready to push in lots of quality time.
Continue readingI was gonna say that enough time has passed that we can have an interesting discussion about OJ. And then I realized that isn’t true, it’s not time it’s people. We are all caring people with high emotional understandings and intellectual abilities. I have faith that those of us who are already familiar with the ins and outs of what OJ Simpson meant to America can discuss him calmly, and that we can make the discussion open and welcome to folks who may not be as familiar.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! I am in my new office (my company finally got an office again after shutting down during the pandemic) feeling homesick for my living room. Which is 4 blocks away. So close and yet so far!
