I am just so selfish, I am making all y’all read the books I like!!! But at least I am letting you pick WHICH book?
Continue readingOh my goodness, I almost missed this!!! Thank goodness I checked my birthday list this morning (thanks Patricia Merry for always sending it to me). And now, I shall write him an acrostic!!!
Continue readingOh, I really hope a lot of you read this! I just love it because it is so ridiculous, and I feel like DCIB is a community that loves the ridiculous.
Continue readingReady for a silly post? Which suddenly came to me when I was watching Chandni with y’all this morning?
Continue readingWoo!!! Chandni!!! I am going to slowly wake up while watching it with y’all and letting Sridevi sweep me away.
Continue readingThis was a long looooooooooooooooong day. But one thing I got from it is that the vaccine centers really REALLY want us to talk about getting our vaccines, so okay, I will do that. Molly in a comment about Hanakkuh said that you put the menorah in the window to “publicize the miracle”, and that’s what I am doing. Publicize the miracle!!! Shots are good!!!
Continue readingThis is all very exciting and last minute, the National Guard just opened up some mass vaccination centers in IL, and if I drive for 6 hours there and 6 hours back I could get a shot TOMORROW. So I took the slot, told my boss I was gonna be out of office, asked my parents to dogsit, and called my doctor to make sure she could give me a note to confirm I qualify under the new very very loose IL State restrictions. All of this in like the last hour. And then I thought “woops! I have to reschedule Friday watchalong!!!”
Continue readingI do like it when stuff makes me giggle becuase it is just WEIRD!!! And thanks to Kirre, I am aware of one weird thing, which gave me started hunting for more weird things.
Continue readingWell, this was harmless. A little dull, occasionally fun, mostly harmless. Just felt kind of light in the end, would have made more sense as a farce play.
Continue readingMovie time!!!!! We have to get serious about this decision and I have narrowed it down to two films. And two times.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday!!! Sorry, I forgot to put up this post until just now. It’s a confusing day.
Continue readingWell, this is worrisome. I do not understand what he is doing in his new song. Is he….okay?
Continue readingI’m watching the Farrow vs Allen doc now, and what is so different about it is that it actually directly addresses the art versus artist question. That’s genius, because normally these kind of stories avoid that whole element, and that leaves the audience a bit lost. I think we need to talk about art versus artist more, come up with more tools for ourselves to handle that question.
Continue readingIt’s an important question!!!! Shashi’s birthday is only 9 days away, and will be even closer on Friday. But on the other hand, it is the week of International Women’s Day.
Continue readingYou can also do a write-in category!!!! But I think I have picked 4 which, for most of you, will be the favorite????
Continue readingI have a standard “international women” post I usually repost for this day. But today, something different! I want to focus on two special oddities that I find fascinating.
Continue readingHappy Monday!!! Yesterday was so stressful and agonizing, I ended up taking an extra day at my place instead of my parents and finishing a puzzle. Aaaahhhh.
Continue readingMoving is SO STRESSFUL!!! Especially when you aren’t sure if you are really going to move or not because you don’t have a place to move TO.
Continue readingI feel like energy for DCIB book club is waning. So next week is the short novella fun thing, and the week after that we will be discussing my nephew’s favorite book, “Where’s Your Hat Abe Lincoln”. So we can stay in touch with The Youth.
Continue readingDilDeewana is right, it’s so good! So very very good! It’s got a radical social message, it’s got a Jerk Man who is accurately described as a Jerk Man, and it has a loving kind grandfather. And a heroine who is an odd fit with girls her own age but discovers the joys of maturity.
Continue readingGreat news! I officially need real reading glasses for the first time ever, which explains why my eyes have started hurting so bad when I spend the day working on the computer. So it is NOT little elves beating on my optic nerve with tiny hammers and chisels, as I thought.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I get to watch a movie with all of you which is one of my favorite things!!! And I also get to go to Costco, which is another of my favorite things! And I get to get my eyes checked, which isn’t one of my favorite things, but coming home and picking out new frames online IS!!!!
Continue readingWoo-hoo, Tiger’s birthday watchalong! And Shraddha’s birthday watchalong part 2!!!
Continue readingThis is just one more reminder for y’all, because I put up the scheduling post two days ago and I am worried you will forget it.
Continue readingThese are not the greatest musicals of all time, or even my favorites. These are more just really interesting ones I think more people should see and which aren’t that famous. And be warned, it is a loooooooooooooooong list. And there’s lots more I am going to remember and wish I could add, but won’t, because it already too long.
