I am SO ENJOYING this festive day! And he would too, if he had any concept of time, past, present, future, or really any thoughts at all in his dumb little head beyond “cold, warm, blanket, food”.
Continue readingTime is confusing, isn’t it? But I think I have a solution. I can give us 2 weeks to read each book, if I announce 2 weeks in advance. Right? That’s how time works? BUT! I can have a book every week so long as I keep leapfrogging the announcements. Everything I pick is going to be super fast and light, but I still want to give 2 weeks so you have time to track down a physical copy if you want, or wait to read it until you are in the mood, or whatever.
Continue readingIn case you are interested, I’m gonna tell you all the things I did while I wasn’t looking at a computer screen. And tell them very quickly before my eyes start hurting again.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I gotta do a screenfree day. Not in some sort of general mental health way, but in a “my eyes feel like they are going to explode and I gotta give them a break” way. It’s not blogging, it’s this work week, I had to go nonstop all day every day, so I didn’t even get my usual little 5 minute breaks to walk around the room. Anyway, either I do something else today or my eyes are gonna fall out.
Continue readingHappy Friday! It’s time for a short happy fun sunny rom-com with great songs, and ARK. What could be better?
Continue readingAn important question!
Continue readingAll men! Because we all know that a) Cartoon people are very close to being genderless; and b) female cartoons are super boring.
Continue readingI woke up on the wrong side of the bed today, that’s all. My hair is tangled and I can’t find a thing to fasten the end of my braid, so I can’t braid it and it is just going to keep getting tangled. And I started my work day by talking to my LEAST FAVORITE customer. On chat not on the phone, but still bad. And Albie Dog’s Adopt-a-versary gifts are delayed in shipping, so he won’t have any presents on the day itself. Oh, and worst of all, last night’s Columbo episode wasn’t very good. So, time to talk about babies and be happy!
Continue readingOkay, I feel a little bad, because I am finally picking one of FilmiKudhi’s favorite movies, but I am doing it on a Friday afternoon. Oh well, we will make it work.
Continue readingSo many questions! Warning, do not read on if you feel faint of heart! Or have a “thing” about feet.
Continue readingHuh, a trailer! It’s been so looooooooooooong since we had one of those!
Continue readingHappy Wednesday!!! In two more days, the exterminators come!!! Isn’t that WONDERFUL??? I am so excited.
Continue readingI feel like DCIB as a whole has Feelings on this topic. More Feelings than is, necessarily, logical and expected when talking about a film reviewer/writer. But that is why we come together, to share our Feelings-with-a-capital-F about topics that really make no sense to have feelings about.
Continue readingShraddha is just the perfect watchalong actress. You never have to think too deeply about her movies (except for Haider) and you can always talk over them (except for Haider).
Continue readingOn the one hand, I love cheesy stupid low budget dance films. On the other hand, THESE POSTERS!!!!
Continue readingThis is cool, Maud Hart Lovelace died on March 11. So we will be discussing her book almost exactly 41 years after her death.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I am actually excited to get back to work! I missed messaging my co-workers, I missed solving problems, I missed having structure to my day.
Continue readingI just watched this amazing documentary, made by a TV producer/reporter who was completely conned by an evil doctor/boyfriend/person and fought back by turning their whole relationship (complete with home movies) into a TV special she hosted. Amazing real life story/heroine, that I want to turn into a movie so I can give it a happy ending.
Continue readingEither of these is fine by me! I love Ranson’s Folly and am always ready for a re-read. And I have not yet read Emily of Deep Valley, but it gets amazing reviews and was specifically called out as a “perfect quarantine read”.
Continue readingVacation, OVER!!!! In Hindi, that would be Vacation Khatm. One of those words, like “mutlab” that sticks in my mind because it sounds way more like what it is than the English word. Final, like thunking a lid down.
Continue readingWooo, our first Sunday watchalong! And a great sunny vacationy kind of movie! The perfect ending to my vacation, I am going to order fancy coffee/breakfast for delivery and relax and enjoy. And then go over to my parents and officially rejoin the “real world”.
Continue reading3 weeks, but we finished it! At least, I finished it. And I hope some of you did. And if you didn’t, that’s okay too, we can just talk about your impressions of the parts you read.
Continue readingDon’t worry, I am still vacationing. I scheduled this post in advance just to help us all remember.
Continue readingLast official day of vacation and, as sometimes happens with vacations, it’s all discombobulated and grumpy. I’m gonna send my irritants out into the world in this post, and see if that helps me get over them.
Continue readingQuick vacation update!
