I don’t have to do work-work today! Which means I was up at 6am doing housework!!! And now if I don’t sit down for a bit in a cool room I will throw up! But I can’t stop! Thank goodness I scheduled this watch along to force me to be in one place, sitting down, in the only air conditioned room.
Continue readingI know, I’m just all over the map. But I’ve got soooooooooo many things I’m juggling right now! Dishwasher was delivered, painter has started, bed is coming tomorrow (knock on wood), and sink is still lost somewhere in the world but I have a plumber scheduled for Tuesday because I am counting on having it by then. Anyway, tomorrow I will get up early, walk Albie Dog, buy cleaning supplies to scrub out the kitchen cupboards really really good because the TRASH PEOPLE left all their stuff behind (broken bread machine, full set up silverware, plastic bags of things I couldn’t identify), and then settle in to watch a nice movie with you.
Continue readingHome ownership is HARD y’all!!! I was up at 5am today because it was supposed to rain and I had to bring my yard waste bags into the garage, and then it didn’t rain. What with one thing and another, totally forgot about the watchalong this week. And yet, also really really want a watchalong!
Continue readingAmerican news, not Indian, but mostly HUH! And I guess some interesting gender stuff and stardom stuff????
Continue readingGood morning! Thank goodness, SRK is here for me. And also Emily, who linked to this photo.
Continue readingHappy Tuesday! See, I do know what day it is! Yesterday was insanely busy, starting at 6am, and also a bit depressing. You will see why in the following photos. Sigh.
Continue readingHappy Sunday! I already walked the dog, took the bus to the house, bought coffee on the way, walked over, saw my friends’ new couch and got my hairbrush from where I stashed it, took the bus back, walked the dog again, and now I am going to watch a movie with you lovely people. The random extra day of homelessness is just going to FLY by!
Continue readingHAPPY BIRTHDAY NEPHEW!!!!!!! He is so BIG now! Like, he’s a little boy, not a little baby or even a toddler. Long legs and coordination and ability to form 3 word sentences. AMAZING.
Continue readingI am so tired. I will never have a home. The dog and I will be living in borrowed spaces our entire lives. I need to watch a big silly romantic drama with Jim Sarbh.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I am still homeless! Because I may have made an error in judgement. But I will probably have a home by Monday.
Continue readingThis is the start of my big hardworking 3 day moving period, so expect bare minimum posting. But I also need something happy to think about, so SRK!
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! I have one more day being lazy with my parents, then tomorrow I pack up the car and drive back into the city and hit the ground running. By this time next week, I should have a painter scheduled, all the locks changed, the junk removed, the building deep cleaned, and myself and the dog moved into our unit with our little campsite’s worth of stuff.
Continue readingUgh, this week has so much happening!!! Thursday I drive back into the city, and start moving my stuff out of my friends’ unit and down into the basement, and pick up a million things that are waiting for me at Home Depot and other places. Saturday morning I move my final items out, then go over to my parents. Sunday I return to my ACTUAL REAL LIFE FINAL HOME. And do a watchalong.
Continue readingThis was actually on Friday I think, but this week has been so crazy, I missed it. But Himesh seems like a pretty lowkey dude and won’t care.
Continue readingHappy Monday! The kids came up yesterday after all!!!! And BOY, 9-10 year olds have a LOT of energy. Makes you tired just talking to them.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! Grandpa is all better, the old man just likes to make sure we are paying attention sometimes. Sigh. Anyway, my parents are exhausted after three days at the hospital, and I am exhausted after three days of feeding myself and being bored, so we are going to take it easy and enjoy life today.
Continue readingOh boy, another great chapter to talk about! Where we start getting into the really fun sexual assault metaphor which manages to give the emotional lesson, without being scary and explicit.
Continue readingUgh! Grandpa’s in the hospital, the roofer has to do a lot more work than anticipated, I didn’t get enough sleep because the dog kept crawling on me all night because I forgot to fill his water dish, and WORST OF ALL because of Grandpa, we may have to cancel on the small children on Saturday and I CAN’T HANDLE DISAPPOINTING SMALL CHILDREN!!! Their little eyes get big and they try not to cry and they are embarrassed because they are so sad. It’s HORRIBLE. Babies just cry and cry, and adults are tough, but that in between age when they want to cry but know they aren’t supposed to cry, that just rips out your heart. I CAN’T TAKE IT! Anyway, sexy photos to distract me.
Continue readingIt’s true, the movies have shown me. The old white man in America who has to painfully and carefully learn that, maybe, not all racism is good. Poor Lord Crawley in Downton Abbey who has to consider that maybe class distinctions are sometimes unfair. And of course all the Hindu patriarchs in Indian films who have to suffer being told that, sometimes, maybe, non-Hindus and women have a right to live.
Continue readingWell, I watched it! And it was super frustrating! Very good bit-bad bit, good bit-bad bit, and on and on. I’m recommending it if you really like Farhan Akhtar (he is super charming), and if you are desperate for a romance (there’s a sweet one). But I am not recommending it as a movie as a whole because it is way WAY too confused.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday!!! I am still up at the lake house, but being lazy. So all I am doing is sitting on the couch/porch watching the lake. Still better than being in the city!
Continue readingI am still in an exhausted state, so I want SHORT. Among his short options, quite a variety, because Naseerji does everything different always.
Continue readingNot sure if I am wording this question right, but Indian films give us all these romantic dramatic first meeting moments. Which is your favorite fantasy for yourself?
Continue readingIt’s the anniversary of the moon landing! What a great prompt for a series of songs that are all on the same theme!
Continue readingHappy Monday! I just scheduled a work call for 8:30am and then another for 9am. I have a baaaaaaaaad feeling that this will be how the whole day goes. Oh well, at least I have y’all and your questions to distract me.
