Finally the actual watchalong post! It’s time! I got my dinner (butter chicken! I made it myself by pouring sauce from a jar onto chicken!) and I am very happy.
Continue readingHappy Saturday! I am very VERY excited about doing a WatchAlong with y’all. My housemates are spending the day at C2E2, the huge Chicago fanfest which sounds crowded and unpleasant. Thank goodness I can celebrate my fandom from my couch with my dog and my lovely internet friends!
Continue readingWow, it’s been a long time since I did a TGIF! But I am finally back in the situation that inspired them. It’s Friday, I’m working from an office, I’m bored and Friday brain, but doing this TGIF makes it look like I’m still working.
Continue readingWatchAlong! Woot-woot! We haven’t done on in foreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever. And we can finally watch Kuch Naa Kaho because it is available for rent on Prime!
Continue readingFirst, sorry sorry sorry, I just realized I missed Angie’s birthday! But I put Genevieve’s on my personal calendar so I would DEFINITELY not miss it!
Continue readingHappy Monday! I got home yesterday afternoon and I kind of want to just sit and stare into space all day. But I can’t, because it is a work day, blech!
Continue readingI’m so excited! I’m doing a last minute lightening visit, ready to push in lots of quality time.
Continue readingI was gonna say that enough time has passed that we can have an interesting discussion about OJ. And then I realized that isn’t true, it’s not time it’s people. We are all caring people with high emotional understandings and intellectual abilities. I have faith that those of us who are already familiar with the ins and outs of what OJ Simpson meant to America can discuss him calmly, and that we can make the discussion open and welcome to folks who may not be as familiar.
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! I am in my new office (my company finally got an office again after shutting down during the pandemic) feeling homesick for my living room. Which is 4 blocks away. So close and yet so far!
Continue readingWoohoo! We’re doing it! I will send the link to those of you who requested it.
Continue readingI love love love Zanjeer. And I was soooooooo happy that it came up as a suggestion. Okay, a suggestion I made, but STILL!!!! It’s also surprisingly short for a 70s film, and on einthusan, so in theory y’all can watch it within the next week (if you haven’t seen it already as you should have).
Continue readingYou know how sometimes you schedule things in your head and forget to schedule them in the Real World? I had it in my head that we would do a Zoom discussion of Crew this weekend but I totally forgot to put it out into the universe.
Continue readingYes, 3 important topics for us all to crowdsource! I have high hopes from you. If nothing else, I hope to get a settled answer on the pronunciation.
Continue readingHappy April Fools Day! What a dreadful holiday. I was trying to think of a fun nice prank to put up for this post and everything I thought of just felt MEAN. Is it possible there is no fun nice prank that exists in the world?
Continue readingI don’t want you to spoil yourself on this movie, because there’s a whole lot of twists and things that aren’t in the trailer. But I DO want you to spoil yourself on this movie because there’s some bits where it feels like our heroines are doing the wrong thing, and I want you to know that it’s okay.
Continue readingSuch a fun movie! I took Friday off this week (not for the movie, for spring cleaning) and I went to a midday show. The perfect spring film to watch on a sunny afternoon.
Continue readingScheduling is DIFFICULT! I try not to do it around one person, but FilmiKudhi has been begging for Kuch Naa Kaho foreeeeeeeeeeeeeeveeeeeeeeeer, I can’t do it the one weekend she can’t make it. On the other hand, Crew is releasing this weekend! Will most people be able to watch it in time for a Zoom call? Or should we wait until next week?
Continue readingI think only FilmiKudhi and I will be super excited about this, but we will be VERY excited! Kuch Naa Kaho is a minor but enjoyable rom-com from the 2000s which has not been available anywhere but einthusan for ages. And now it’s for rent! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! We can do a WatchAlong!!!
Continue readingHappy Wednesday! And Happy Short Work Week to ME! I’m taking Friday off because of my annual Easter tradition of flipping my house over to summer. And yes, it may snow next week, but I don’t care, I am putting all my sweaters in the cedar chest and getting out the sundresses! I will FORCE summer to come! And I have a whole three days to clean and re-organize and make it happen.
Continue readingOh boy, another thinky post! I really like thinky posts, and I like hearing what you all think about the thinky posts.
Continue readingI’m gonna try to make notes while we have our Zoom call, and we’ll be talking about the same questions so this whole thing should feel like one big conversation, Zoom and here.
Continue readingMy first thought when I got this email from Pottery Barn was “really? Deepika?” And then I clicked the link and went “oh yeah, this is very Deepika”. She’s very calm, right? Very beige (in a good way!)
Continue readingI am about halfway through the movie and it is SO FUN. If you haven’t watched it yet, do so, I guarantee you will enjoy it. Oh, and also try to join our discussion if possible, I guarantee you will enjoy that too!
Continue readingI’m being selfish and picking the time that works best for me! Hopefully it also works for some of you.
Continue readingLet’s do another one! This is fun! And Manoranjan is ALSO very very fun. And on Netflix! Woo!
