Beth Loves Bollywood (Beth Watkins)

This is the problem with the metric system: it's simply not poetic enough.

The Simpsons - Mom It's Broken YouTube video by AreaEightyNine

My Simpsons rewatch has arrived at Bart vs. Thanksgiving, the source of perhaps my favorite Simpsons moment ever: Bart handling the cranberry sauce. "Mom it's broken, mom it's broken.... Ahhhhhh. Cranberry sauce à la Bart." youtu.be/1DfmejX-UB8?...

The final stage of exhibit production that does not require power tools and thus I am allowed to do: hole punch!

Somtimes

heard of!

LOOK AT HIM! (Yes I am rewatching Siddhartha. Yes you will hear the results on Filmi Ladies soon.)

Once again spending some quality time with Shashi Kapoor and his eyelashes.

We do not doubt that Deepika Padukone is a superstar, but we had a hard time pinning down exactly why. youtu.be/FbeNUxpfkdQ?...

No doubt! And I never made it west of…Hamilton, basically! There’s so much I never saw. Nowadays I keep thinking maybe I could retire to Montreal after some intense refreshing of my French.

Every now and then I wonder what life would have been like if I had never moved back from Canada. In this particular political moment of course it would be infinitely better (but still enraging), but also I could never have afforded to stay in TO.

All is good and normal in my world for a welcome moment: after an evening of fond thoughts about my old Toronto home, I wake up to a text from a friend in Montreal about whether something is or is not poutine.

Exhibit going up! I love my job.

News flash! Turns out I DO have a useful skill for the coming apocalypse: yesterday the fire department gave me a medal for being the second fastest person to put out the fire at a training. 💁🏻‍♀️

Cat does not want human grade chicken I am using to try to trick him into eating medicine. Cat wants only standard kibble. I should have trusted my instinct that I am not enough of a strategic thinker to have a cat.

why are cats so soft and yet so sharp

“I believe she is quite insistent on marching into spinsterhood.”

Oh Bridgerton.

The vet has a sign that says “this waiting room has had ___ days without poop” currently set at 3, and that is so much better than we are doing as a society.

More people need to believe me when I say I am bad at Scrabble. This is not false modesty! I love words and writing, so being bad at it is embarrassing for me anyway, and then a second round of shame arrives when whoever plays with me invariably realizes I wasn’t kidding.

it's so useful when the universe saves you from yourself

I thought he was but I can’t find him! He is on insta. He just did a bug video about Harinam Singh when he died a few weeks aho

I bet our friend Aseem knows. I should ask.

Ohhhhh yes indeed. Wonder if Harinam Singh was thus inspired?

I'm doing a Simpsons rewatch from the very beginning, and s1e6 Moaning Lisa is really hitting where it hurts.

That’s lovely!

Are you going to listen to the playlist to try to figure out its inspiration?

I miss it often because I cannot hivemind (neither ask nor contribute to) anything here. Plus I think we were having more fun over there at very specific and long-ago times, like 2010, which is when I mean when I say I miss it.

Deeply uncertain about this pomegranate Tootsie Pop.
