Happy Wednesday! Since last I posted, I rearranged my apartment, planted hydrangeas, took a lot of long walks, finished book 1 of Ponniyin Selvan and moved well into book 2, just generally lived life. Sorry for not posting because I love you all and missed you! Not sorry for not posting because I got so much done in life-life while I was off.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I am SO EXCITED about this 3 day weekend! By the end of the weekend, I’m going to have the front yard under control, and my homemade fence in place.
Continue readingTwo of these are really silly, and two are semi-not silly. Personally, I prefer the silly, but if you want to look at tweets with actual content, I have that also.
Continue readingHappy weekend! I missed posting yesterday because we had a family emergency, my Dad lost his glasses and I tracked down a one hour glasses place, did all the driving, etc. etc. It ended up being a fun outing, there was a bison farm down the road from the one hour glasses place so we went to look at bison for a bit. But it did kind of kill the day and leave me too tired to feel like blogging. Today, I need to pack up the car and start getting ready to leave (I’m not actually leaving until Wednesday, but I’m working Monday and Tuesday). But I am remembering to post because I start working!
Continue readingHappy Saturday! Later than usual! I had a very rush-rush day, including appliance shopping with my parents which took foreeeeeeeeever. I remember it took forever the last time I did it (when I was 3), and it was exactly the same this time! Except last time I brought a bag of dolls with me and this time I just had a stupid smart phone.
Continue readingHaven’t done one of these in a while, and people keep doing interesting things on Instagram!!!! Let’s look at them!
Continue readingKaran and mothers! He really loves them. Almost all his movies have a strong mother role. Which are your favorites?
Continue readingThanks Miss Braganza for the idea! I love this question! And I suspect many others at DCIB will also love this question.
Continue readingWoot! It’s 90s week!!!! Gotta start with the two most significant romances of the 90s, Sleepless in Seattle and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Yes, HAHK and DDLJ were more important films in general, and When Harry Met Sally is more influential, but these two movies were the biggest romantic hits of the decade, the ones that you pull out when you just want to swoon over love and not worry about anything else.
Continue readingInstagram! Place of happiness and joy and cute photos!!!! It is super overcast here this morning, so I need some joy.
Continue readingThis is a full year award. If you take 2020 as a whole, who has the best instagram feed? I’m going to nominate 4, but don’t feel limited! Bring up some more suggestions if you have them!
Continue readingYes, we are doing the annual awards again! As always, they will be different award than every other site does, and also different from previous years on DCIB. I just like to shake things up!
Continue readingIt’s time to finalize our 2021 wishes! So we can write them down and burn them up at midnight on the 1st, or whatever ritual you want to do. I’m gonna have a series of more specific posts up over the next day or so, but I want to start us off with a big anything goes kind of brainstorming.
Continue readingMy 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 readingRemember, Happy Place Rules! Which is really hard with this movie, so I almost decided to skip reposting this review. But that felt wrong, so I am reposting. But with a reminder of Happy Place Rules. So you can skip reading this to protect your Happy Place, and if you comment, you have to find an inspiring/cheerful take in order to protect all of us in our Happy Place.
Continue readingI was looking for a review to repost and discovered I had done two mini-reviews, one about this film as showing a matriarchy, the other about it as showing an interesting idea of different kinds of love. But no actual regular review! So, time to write that. (previous posts on Matriarchy and on love triangles)
Continue readingThis is such a nice statement! Which is well, and carefully, written. Let’s all read it and be grateful that poor social anxiety Adi has a good way to express himself.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I was so excited to get going this morning, I forgot to put up this post, so this comes to you from my phone in a parking lot.
Continue readingI decided in the past few months that I would no longer casually use the word “nepotism” or accept it’s usage in comments on this blog. You didn’t notice, because you all must have made the same decision consciously or unconsciously, somehow it just became a term we did not use any more. But I feel like that isn’t enough. Being passive is being complicit, I want to open up the argument to why and how this word is used as a weapon.
Continue readingHappy Friendship Day! According to the made up holiday calendars by which florists live their lives and therefore just sent me an email alerting me!
Continue readingThis is going to be a shallow dive. But should still be interesting, even if I just skim the surface of the topic.
Continue readingOne of these news items will make your day, I guarantee it. I know, that’s a big guarantee, but I’m pretty comfortable with it.
Continue readingInstagram! Land of happiness! So nice it just look at pretty pictures of pretty people and not have a million trolls. I will enjoy it while it lasts.
Continue readingThis was a hard weekend in America, and a hard few months in the world. Anyway, time for a TOTAL HAPPINESS post. I’m starting us off with 3 super super happy things, and you can add on. I think this is something that’s supposed to be good for mental health, right? Forcing yourself to think of 3 happy things before breakfast or something? Anyway, think of it like that! A happiness homework for us all to complete!
Continue readingYou thought we were done with Karan Johar, didn’t you? But no! I have one more thing to say that occurred to me while we were doing our Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham watch. And this thing will also, once again, give me a chance to rewrite the endings of Karan Johar movies which is my favorite thing of course.
