Let’s be talky talky! It’s a super cloudy overcast just plain BLECH day in Chicago which is a great time to cozy up and exercise our brain muscles.
Continue readingUgh, long day at work, brain fried, can’t right a real review. Maybe on the weekend after I do a watch 2. But for now, I just want to talk to y’all about the bits I find interesting!
Continue readingLet’s chat! I ran around doing a million things yesterday and at the end of the day I came home all tired out and debating which was most exciting/tempting of these three options.
Continue readingOkay, I watched the trailer, it’s delightful, now I want to see it too. But I am holding out until I can watch it with a friend because it looks SO squeey and group watching friendly, it would be wasted watching it alone.
Continue readingHello All! This is a requested post from Naina because she’s dealing with that whole “I’m an adult who just moved to a new city how do you make friends?” thing. And also, because I think it is an interesting thing for all of us to talk about! Bonus: you get to hear how SRK helped me make friends!
Continue readingThank you Genevieve for bringing up this topic! It’s one of those things that I think we can all only speak to our own cultures and experiences. But luckily we have a big variety of cultures and experiences so this discussion should be interesting!
Continue readingHappy Friday! Tomorrow I get up pre-dawn and fly back to Chicago and get to see Albie Dog again. But today, site seeing!
Continue readingGoing for my third viewing tonight, but I think many of you have already lapped me in terms of how much you’ve seen it, and you’ve all pretty much done better than me in reading about it! So, let’s pool our opinions and knowledge 🙂
Continue readingGenevieve registered a complaint that Harsh in Tara vs Bilal played yet another manboy can’t talk about his feelings type of guy. Which made me think we should pull out and appreciate the alternative type of heroes! The ones who just handle things and do things without making a fuss about it.
Continue readingI’ve been watching Bake Off for the past week obsessively, and I was doing the same thing this time last year. But the rest of the year, no interest. What is it about this show that makes it so addictive, especially when you are feeling down (I do not like the whole “shortest days of the year” thing in December and January).
Continue readingThis is a discussion that came up from the comments, we divided enemies-to-lovers romances into two categories and then couldn’t decide which was better.
Continue readingNothing particularly inspired this post, beyond my parents and I having a conversation last night about if/when we feel the spirits of our shared dead relatives. As I’ve mentioned before, the lake house I go to in the summer has been in our family for almost 100 years, and it’s also where I spent the most time with my beloved Grandmother and Grandfather as a child (and where my father spent the most time with HIS grandparents when HE was a child), so we are surrounded by ghosts of various kinds of here.
Continue readingShould that be “on which to give personal opinions”? Anyway, it’s rainy and gloomy in Chicago today, and will stay gloomy for several more days, so I thought it would be a good time for us all to get to know each other better 🙂
Continue readingSaira, Filmikudhi, and Eva all got new babies this year! So exciting. And of course, I still have Albie Dog, who has many similarities with babies. Anyway, post for all the baby people out there.
Continue readingHappy Thursday! And Happy Day Before New Years Eve! Let’s share our plans in a lovely DCIB community building way.
Continue readingPeople Magazine is just so smart. Their “Sexiest Man Alive” issue concept is brilliant, and releasing it right before SUPER STRESSFUL Thanksgiving is extra brilliant. Anyway, I am borrowing their idea 🙂
Continue readingThe follow up to the mean post! What celebrities do we just like, for no reason related to their careers?
Continue readingLet’s chat! It’s been a while since we had a nice cozy chat. And I am legitimately curious about what people think on these vital issues. I know my opinions, but I don’t know if they are universal or if folks vary.
Continue readingI figure, this is a question we can all answer. And perhaps, hopefully, learn from each other.
Continue readingThis is a very self-centered post. I mean, I want to hear all your alcohol stories too of course. Not the “I got so drunk I threw up in a mailbox” ones, but more the “I never liked beer until my friend got me to try this thing when we were on a trip once” stories. But also, you get to give me advice!
Continue readingCheese! Or, as my nephew calls it, Chiz! It’s delicious, it’s delectable, no one doesn’t like it. Unless someone here doesn’t like it. If you are a cheese hater, Reveal Yourself Now!!!!
Continue readingMy nephew isn’t quite 2 yet, and my sister has already created her own traditional Dad Joke repetraw (sp?). Apparently it comes on you immediately.
Continue readingLet’s take it as a given that we have anxiety and worries and etc. etc. Forget all that! There are three very specific things I have noticed in myself, and am hearing from more of my friends than I would have expected.
Continue readingHappy Day after Mother’s Day! Thinking about mother’s and things has raised some general questions for me that I want to share with the group.
Continue readingAngie was just complaining about a memoir she read that was supposed to be this woman’s real life love story, but it was all dramatized and hyped up. Which made me think about the amazing “truth is stranger than fiction” real life love stories that exist in the world. Let’s share our favorites!
