The season just goes so fast! I’ve got my tree up, my playlist set in the car, and am well into my presents projects. Most importantly, week 5 in the giveaway!!! And FINALLY Filmikudhi wins! Which I think finishes off all my watchalong regulars? So there is a chance for you normal non-watchalong folks to finally catch a break!
Continue readingBollywood Wives! Things I Want to Talk To You About!!!!
My goodness, this is a dumb show! SUCH A DUMB SHOW! All these people are crazy and none of them have JOBS!!!! We must talk. Also, I feel very awkward because it is so mean to be talking about these real people. But they put themselves on the show, right? So it’s okay?
Continue readingChristmas Post: Which Christmas Coke Ad Makes You Cry More? Brotherly Love or Missing Dad?
Prepare to cry! One is very high concept, one is very low concept, both of them are products of horrible consumerism blah blah. But they will still make you cry!
Continue readingSaturday Small Talk: Chat Away While I Sew, and Watch Bollywood Wives!!!
Happy Saturday! I’m finally doing it! I’m watching Bollywood Wives! While making ten gabillion Christmas presents (I’d tell you what they are, but I’m worried one of my relatives/friends will read this and get spoiled! I’ll take pictures and show you after Christmas). Anyway, once I finish the show, I’ll put up a discussion post for y’all, so prepare your thoughts.

Another Hrithik movie! They are just so good for watchalongs. You never have to pay close attention to the dialogue, and you never run out of comments on Hrithik’s beauty. Oh, and this one is CHRISTMASSY!!!!
Continue readingChristmas Songs Post: “Santa Baby” or “Gee Whiz It’s Christmas”?
Another Christmas challenge! And maybe two songs that you haven’t heard before? Anyway, they are both great, you should listen to both of them and then pick which one you like best. (also, in case you were wondering, yes I have changed the blog header to be all Christmas images!)
Continue readingI’m Gonna Share Dog and Baby Stories, You Share Whatever You Want!!!!
Really, you can talk about your life and stuff on any post. But this is a post specifically ENCOURAGING you to talk about your life and stuff. The sun is never up, Courtney is struggling with anxiety, at least half of us are exhausted with Xmas work, we need a place to gossip and chat and feel community.

Happy Wednesday!!!! Halfway through the work week, and then on the weekend I get to just sleep and sleep and sleep. And sleep and sleep and sleep. And sleep.
Continue readingFriday WatchAlong: Kaho Na Pyar Hai or Malang or Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna? And Friday or Saturday?
Still all Christmas movies all the time! Within the broad definition of Indian film “if it has a Santa in the background, close enough”. Also, still jumping between Friday and Saturday depending on what works best for people.
Continue readingQuestion: Is the Lack of Sun Messing with Anyone Else’s Circadian Rhythm?
I just want to stay in bed and sleep all the time. Like a hibernating bear. Anyone else feeling the same way?
Continue readingChristmas Post: Which Version of Albie Dog, Tree Hat or Santa Outfit?

Happy Monday! I am so sleepy! The sun is down for 15 hours now, and I also want to sleep for 15 hours. Why must I live by the clocks instead of the sun??? I’m so tired!
Continue readingChristmas Songs Post: Blue Christmas, Elvis or Tammy Wynette?
Another groupthink challenge! Another classic Christmas song! My goodness, America has a lot of weird depressing Christmas songs. It really is the Seasonal Affective Disorder holiday.
Continue readingSilly Sunday: Thanksgiving Week! Let’s Re-Write/Re-Cast Friends Again!!!!
This is like the third time we’ve done this, don’t care. It’s Friends! It’s the one pop culture artifact that everyone everywhere in the world has an awareness of! And which has some very very strong archetypes that are fun to translate to other cultures.
