Wednesday Watching Post: We All Survived Christmas! And Massive Weather (in America)! Back to Normal Life, Phew!

Happy Wednesday!!!! I spent Friday alternately so cold I couldn’t breath trying to shovel, and hiding inside and recovering doing a puzzle. I spent Saturday and Sunday with my parents doing a festive Christmas trip (art museum, fancy restaurant, fancy hotel, champagne breakfast, opening presents, movie, fancy hotel dinner, and then leaving Monday morning), and I spent Monday afternoon through now recovering from all of that and going “aaaahhhhhhh”. And now regular life returns, and the weather goes above freezing!

Saturday Small Talk: Chat Away While I Hide From the Cold!!!

Happy Saturday!!!! It is very cold here. Well, not VERY cold, it is fairly cold here. Cold enough that my usual Saturday routine of a very long dog walk and running over to the recycling center is not so appealing. So instead, I will stay by my space heater and do taxes!

I don’t know about you, but I find that letting everything come from a place of love is all that can get me through tough times. And yes, for SRK fans, this is a tough time and this is a place where we can acknowledge that.

JLo and Ben Inspired Post: What Former Couple of Indian Film Do You Wish Would Get Back Together?

I just read a month and a half of People magazines, and my goodness are they excited about JLo and Ben!

And also, years later reunions are a GREAT story and I want more of them.

Hello Brother Review: That Brief Shining Moment When Salman Thought He Could Actually Get His Brothers to HAVE JOBS

I am so happy, I have been wanting to see this movie for almost 20 years. Well “wanting”. Maybe “vaguely curious” that was transformed to “want” after it was forbidden to me by The Universe. And now The Universe has relented, and I have watched this movie, and I never have to see it again. And you never have to see it even once because I watched it for you!
