Time for one of those chatty posts where we all just make small talk at each other generally feel sane again! And also because I am genuinely curious about the way the rest of humanity handles these issues.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I just have to get through today, and then tomorrow, and then Wednesday, and then starting Wednesday night I am on VACATION. True, I’m not really going anywhere, but I am treating it like a real vacation. I’m gonna get up in the morning and go sight seeing, then come back and watch TV in bed, just like I was in a hotel.
Continue readingI can only think of two distinctively absolutely Valentine’s songs (although I am sure there are more that are not as famous). The question is, which brings you more joy?
Continue readingSRK is my Valentine!!! And so I shall spend the day gazing at him gazing at me gazing at him.
Continue readingHappy Valentine’s Day! By golly I am having an SRK and Valentine’s party, even if it is virtual. Every year for 10 years, I have had a Valentine’s and SRK party (sometimes it is 6 people and cake, sometimes it is me and a friend and a heart shaped pizza), and I am not giving up this year! This afternoon we are virtually watching the Letterman special and then talking about how he is the Perfect Man. The way the holiday should be celebrated.
Continue readingWoo-hoo! I get to write about 3 of my FAVORITE movies!!!! They are all so so SO good, all in different ways.
Continue readingSnow snow snow! More snow! Because 4 feet just wasn’t enough. Ugh!!!! Anyway, I’m starting a new puzzle, so my weekend is set.
Continue readingOh boy, a thinky post! Inspired by the really interesting new Cecil Hotel documentary on Netflix. It is less of a true crime story, and more of a “who are the people who are obsessed with true crime and why” story.
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong!!! Actually on Friday!!!! And we are going to watch a very VERY long movie. It will be dark out and you will be ready for dinner by the time it is over. Also, you will be STARVING. Rajshri films will always make you super super hungry.
Continue readingThe 90s! Gave us so many great smile inducing photos!!!! With silly silly people in silly silly clothes. Which is good, because I am STILL GRUMPY. Hopefully HAHK this afternoon will cheer me up. If not, I am going to have to wait until NEXT MONTH which is the soonest that the sun is supposed to be out again in Chicago.
Continue readingThe world is a bleak and horrible place filled with no sun and snowdrifts, it’s super unfair that I have to do work-work in the living room instead of continuing to sleep in my nice warm bed, and I don’t want to walk the dog. And you know whose fault that is? MEN! White Old Rich Men!!!! In some way I am not clear on, but I know I am mad about it. I’m gonna talk about how Tom Cruise/Cameron Crowe are terrible people who think they are good. Oh, and don’t bother actually watching Jerry Maguire before reading this post, I will tell you everything you need to know.
Continue readingOh yeah, we’re doing HAHK!!!! For those of you who haven’t seen it before, it is unbelievably long, and nothing happens until 40 minutes before the end. So arrive late, leave early, fall asleep in the middle, take go outside with your kids and play and then come back, it’s all good. HAHK will just keep churning along.
Continue readingI am soooooooooooooo grumpy today. Cheer me up by reminding me about happy things of the past!!! Favorite rom-coms of the decade when I was a little kid.
Continue readingAnother check-in post! I like seeing how you are doing and telling y’all how I am doing. Especially today when I am grumpy about missing my annual Valentine’s party and trying to cheer myself up.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday!!! And happy 4 days to Valentine’s!!!! I may try to talk my parents into a heart shaped pizza to celebrate. And I will try very hard not to be sad that I am missing my annual SRK Valentine’s party for the first time in 10 years!!!!
Continue readingThis is a sad one. Not a sad one today, just a sad one in general. A life story that makes me a little mournful when I think about it.
Continue readingI already decided we are doing Friday afternoon instead of Saturday morning, because the big concern with Friday afternoon is folks having to come late. And these movies are so loooooooooong, doesn’t matter! Also, we’ve done Saturday a lot lately and it feels unfair to Friday, you know? Poor day of the week getting jealous.
Continue readingHappy Fat Tuesday! I’ve had a glorious 4 years of working one block from the best Pazkis in Chicagoland. And now I am working from home like an idiot and I will have to fake Fat Tuesday with donuts. IT’S NOT THE SAME!!!
Continue readingI put in that Govinda one just to make Popka happy. But now she has to tell us who would be the Govinda jodi person, because I don’t know.
Continue readingA challenge!!!!! Which will be well-nigh impossible! At least, it would be for me. All 3 Khans had amazingly iconic love songs in this era, with adorable spectacular co-stars and forever hit tunes and so on and so forth. But which is BEST? And I guess also which is worst, and which is middlest.
Continue readingHappy Monday!!! Happy Valentine’s Week!!!! So exciting! I mailed most of my cards weeks ago, plus my special Valentine’s gift for my nephew, and yesterday I hand delivered a combo Valentine’s/new cat present, the last card that I will hand deliver day of to make it special. I have heard some people treat Valentine’s as a holiday between romantic couples, but I think that is crazy. I treat it as a “time to send nice presents/cards to everyone and anyone who is important in my life”.
Continue readingWoot! It’s 90s week!!!! Gotta start with the two most significant romances of the 90s, Sleepless in Seattle and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Yes, HAHK and DDLJ were more important films in general, and When Harry Met Sally is more influential, but these two movies were the biggest romantic hits of the decade, the ones that you pull out when you just want to swoon over love and not worry about anything else.
Continue readingThis is such a ridiculous true life story that I can’t resist making it into a movie. Especially because it means I can give it a happy ending. And also talk about how male science professors are the SCUM OF THE EARTH.
Continue readingI solved it!!! It took me a while to figure it out, but it burst upon me suddenly this morning.
Continue readingRemember, in 2 weeks from today, Ramesh Menon’s Siva Purana! It’s X-rated! It’s fun! It’s sex ed and religion all in one book!
