I hate Mondays

Gutting through the last of one of those annoying Mondays? I am, anyway. Working towards a deadline and suddenly am very tired and with the rest of the week’s tasks ahead the finish line seems even further away.

Lucky Lips “hai rama rama”…NRI schoolgirls dancing in Moscow

Don’t know if you ever saw this film “Lucky no Time for Love” 2006, but it was probably the first of these “Lolita” inspired films to come out with the idea that jail-bait romances make for good box office success. This film did pretty well, and starred Salman Khan as this older guy who ends [...]

Wizards don’t just exist in fairy tales…there are real ones…modern day Merlins who live among us as imperceptibly as the wizarding world lives among muggles in the Harry Potter Series. You may believe that what they do is magic or you may not. But from their perspective there are spirits, gods, and complex [...]

Thespian lol Cats and the Natya Shashtra

Cats appeal to me, in part, because of their independent natures and swift and immediate capacity to be able to shift between emotional registers. They can be at one moment, coy and mysterious (I was once worshiped as a god in Egypt you insignificant human), the next a bold thief and brazen lier (how can [...]
