Thanks to Asmita, we all learned the valuable lesson a few weeks ago that Mercury was in Retrograde, thereby causing all sorts of minor inconveniences and mistakes to all of us here in BlogWorld. And also Alia Bhatt who broke her shoulder. But now, it is out of retrograde! And I don’t know about you, but my life is suddenly locking into place.
Bollywood Newbie brought up a really interesting topic in my post on Aamir’s birthday yesterday. What identity does belonging to certain fandoms give you? This is kind of a high level fan study/media meaning making topic, so I want to hear what you all think, but I also want to give you some framework for the discussion first.
So, slightly slowing on the watching/writing about new movies this week, since all my evenings are devoted to the World Series. I’m not much of a Cubs fan, more as a kind of family tradition (4th generation! On both sides!) than as a thing I enjoy. But I do make a point of watching/listening to every game if they make it to post-season. Which has only happened 4 times in my lifetime, so it’s not a real big commitment.
