Woot! So excited to have something to be excited about! I stayed up late special for this release, and wrote most of this post in advance so I could just plug in the link.
Continue readingFinally an American! Which means I can have the card mailed direct and resist the temptation to keep it for myself!
Continue readingWoot, Dilwale! For Christmas! Kind of! Anyway, it feels Christmassy to me. And a nice relaxing way to spend a Sunday morning. Oh, and since RSVPs were low, reminder that if no one shows up within the first 15 min, I will just reschedule.
Continue readingOkay, I’ve made a decision! I’m going big, Dilwale! If other folks show up, it will be super super fun. And if no one shows up by 15 after, I get to spend the time wrapping and packing presents instead and we watch Dilwale next week!
Continue readingSilly post, but if Dharmendra got one his “big brother” Dilip should get one too. Also, I suspect there is SOMEONE out there who has an attractiveness to Dilip.
Continue readingI invited a friend over last night to make a Gingerbread House!!! My sister got me a kit and I knew it might be tricky so I should have another set of hands. And it was tricky, but also fun, and then I raided my dollhouse for additional props.
Continue readingI was thinking, Dilwale is a Christmas movie, right? Sort of? And also an Indian film which is technically the Brief for this blog. On the other hand, if you don’t care and are willing to indulge my wild stabs at Western films, I have other silly American Christmas options in my head.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! I’m doing laundry and watching Bake Off and being happy, woot! And also just a wee bit stressed about work stuff, but not that much. Wait, never mind, I wrote that sentence 4 hours ago and now I am SUPER stressed.
Continue readingAfter Manish Malhotra’s birthday yesterday, there was a suggestion of a fashion post. Also, I feel guilty for not reviewing new movies, and I figure a Garam Dharam post is an acceptable substitute that we all can enjoy.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I had a lovely relaxing weekend tidying my house and working on Xmas presents instead of seeing Bhediya, and now I am back to Most Stressful Monday Ever. I’ve got 5 calls scheduled through out the day, and I’m days behind in emails, and blech! But I shall try to relax and just think of what I can do and not what I can’t, and also work on Angie’s fun Christmas card.
Continue readingWoot, Angie! Winning! Enjoy it this week, now that WatchAlongs are back I expect things to become much more competative.
Continue readingYaaaaaaaaaaaaay, a nice Christmas black and white romance. With smart dialogue and a baby and a cool department store setting.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I am drowning in shipping boxes. And then there’s the question of which ones I should keep back to ship stuff out in. It’s all very complex. I think I’m just gonna recycle everything and get it out of my house, and then deal with packing new boxes as it comes up.
Continue readingYaaaaaaaay, we get to have a watchalong!!! And we get to watch one of my favorite movies! Clever, light, fun, romantic, and a baby.
Continue readingAfter soooooooooo many weekends off, I am back! I really really REALLY want to watch a movie with y’all! So the most important question is, what day and time works best?
Continue readingHappy Wednesday!!! My Mom just sent me a thing about it being LM Montgomery’s birthday, isn’t that nice? Also Mark Twain and Winston Churchill (Bengal famine).
Continue readingI swear, I’m not trying to convert you into Christmas people. You can stay Halloween people or Easter People or Eid people or whatever. But there are a lot of great stupid fun songfilled romantic heartwarming Christmas movies that I think we would all enjoy.
Continue readingHappy Monday! I have no water! The whole 6 month project of ripping up our street and replacing the pipes might, finally, be reaching the finale. Or this is just another little stop on the road to fully functioning pipes/street. But I like to think it is the finale.
Continue readingWoot, week 3! And it’s still an open race because I haven’t been doing watchalongs! It’s anyone’s game, just a few comments and you could be a winner!
Continue readingYaaaaaay, the really truly beautiful ending! One of the greatest moments in English writing to describe humanism and love and all good things. If you have read the whole book, I recommend skipping to this discussion, and then going back to the other two, because really the ending dominates all.
Continue readingHappy Christmas!!! I am trying very VERY hard to cut down on my expectations for myself this year. We will see how it goes.
Continue readingTotally unrelated to Indian film post warning! But before I got into Indian film, I was into history, so this is a fun post on the history of Thanksgiving.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday!!! And Happy Day Before Thanksgiving! I am so excited to have a day off work. I’m gonna make Christmas presents and cook and get things out of the storage unit and all kinds of good things. Oh, and then go over to my parents to actually celebrate Thanksgiving, that too.
Continue readingHappy Tuesday! I am feeling overwhelmed and exhausted and it’s not even December yet. JUST POSSIBLY I set too high standards for myself in terms of what I have to do for Christmas (the 8 homemade presents, the multiple social events, the live tree, the family heirloom decorations that all have to be out, etc. etc. etc.).
Continue readingHappy Monday! And Happy 3 Day Work Week to my fellow Americans!!! I had a sit down with my housemates yesterday morning and then with my parents yesterday night and my holiday schedule is going to be PACKED. But packed with good things, so that’s okay.
