Happy weekend! I missed posting yesterday because we had a family emergency, my Dad lost his glasses and I tracked down a one hour glasses place, did all the driving, etc. etc. It ended up being a fun outing, there was a bison farm down the road from the one hour glasses place so we went to look at bison for a bit. But it did kind of kill the day and leave me too tired to feel like blogging. Today, I need to pack up the car and start getting ready to leave (I’m not actually leaving until Wednesday, but I’m working Monday and Tuesday). But I am remembering to post because I start working!

Happy Friday! Yaaaaaaay, a movie!!!!! I am in an unairconditioned lake house with a fan aimed right on me, so this movie has to distract me from how hot I am (temperature, not appearance).
Continue readingHrithik Contest: Young and Happy or Old and Hot?
Follow up to the Bumbro post! I forgot how irresistible Hrithik was in the early days when he looked just happy to be alive and dancing onscreen. But is that more irresistible than current Hrithik who looks mature and experienced and wise?
Continue readingBumbro Contest: Which Version is Your Favorite?
No particular reason for this post, the song was just going through my head. And I thought we should determine, once and for all, which is the best version. FYI, “Bumbro” is a Kashmiri folk song independent of the movie versions, it’s just two separate Kashmir-set films decided to remix it for their movies.

Happy Wednesday! I am doing a week at the family lake house. Which is nice on it’s own, but is particularly nice right now because I am SURROUNDED BY BOXES. And the lake house has nice solid furniture and things that have been immovably in place for the past 100 years.

I’m gonna get back on a SCHEDULE!!! Through out the pandemic, keeping to a blog schedule has kept me sane. Throwing it out the window during moving week was NOT HEALTHY. So I’m gonna make an effort and do the posts that are supposed to go up on the days they are supposed to go up. With that in mind, Silly Sunday!
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Chat Away While I Organize a Kitchen!
Well, I’ve had a very productive day! Did the watchalong, did laundry, organized my bedroom, got my haircut, started the process of organizing my kitchen, and then remembered I forgot to do the small talk post. Which brings us to here and now.

Continue readingAnyone Wanna Watch Mom With Me Tomorrow? For Sridevi?
It’s okay if you don’t. I know it’s a bit of a dark movie (but the vengeance is so satisfying, I don’t care). But it’s Sridevi’s birthday weekend, and I kind of want to rewatch it somehow.
Continue readingSridevi Birthday Post: Who is Your Favorite Female Star and Why?
It is inarguable that Sridevi was the greatest female star India will ever see. Dominating every major industry simultaneously, and making it look easy. But there are other female stars too! Let’s pick our favorites.

I’m not done-done by any stretch, but after today I should be over the biggest humps. I hope.
Continue readingVivah Review: A Long Sweet Love Story
I have been so blog-lazy this week. I didn’t even remember my daily posts, because I’m not thinking in terms of days of the week, I thinking of “scrap metal day” followed by “painter day” followed by “plumber day” followed by “movers day” and so on. Anyway, I need to give my mind an escape from the complicated logistics of moving, and Vivah is the BEST escape.
Continue readingThinky Post: Fantasy Versus Reality With Toxic Romances
The plumbers coming at 7am tomorrow and I can’t sleep, so I’m gonna distract myself by trying to write a thinky post and see if I can get my thoughts straight.
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Chat Away While I Get a Bed Delivered, Yaaaaaay!
Bed, yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!! I’ve been going along mostly okay for a month and a half without a bed, but last night it just really got to me. The sofa at the lake house, the floor bed bedroll, they just aren’t the same. I want a REAL bed. And today, I get one! Unless the delivery is delayed! In which case, I cry!
