I watched The Descendants on Thursday. I liked it a lot. I didn’t love it. But the like is real. The underwater scene was amazing. As was Hawaii. Why dear God, wasn’t I born there? I love Bangalore, I do. We’ve been in a love-more love relationship for over 20 years but Hawaii! You’re like the Ryan Gosling of my life now. Crazy-talented with all the beaches and lush greenery and tropical cocktails, not to mention your so-unreal-that-you-have-to-be-photo-shopped-beauty, but I can never have you…
*Sigh
I don’t think Clooney deserves the Best Actor Oscar. I mean, he’s already got himself some gold for Syrianna. I’m fairly certain that Jean Dujardin will win that one… It’s a pity that Uggie the dog wasn’t nominated. What is it with Jack Russell terriers? They’re almost too adorable.
Which reminds me; why is Drive not getting any Oscar love? The movie was stunning. I’m in love, not just with the super-luscious Driver, but with every frame of that movie, and Nicolas Winding Refn, and the hot pink credits…
*Oh my god!!! Indigo is playing Una noche by 98 degrees!!! I haven’t heard that in so long… I loved the video way back when the song was new.
I’m at work right now. Paying the dues is such a bitch but technically, I’ve nothing else to do. Yes, I said it. I’ve nothing to do on a Saturday. Ever since the Pianoman started lawyer-ing I see him less and less. Tres tragic.
I’m currently reading The Virgin Suicides by Jeffery Eugenides, and no, I haven’t seen the movie and I’m probably not going to either. I also committed the cardinal sin of judging a book by its cover and bought The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. When I was at the book store, I saw these new Penguin book covers for Zadie Smith’s White Teeth and four others that were a part of Penguins’ 75th anniversary. They got tattoo artists to design their covers so every book cover is this explosion of colour. I’m a sucker for stuff like that; you should totally check them out.
Why is it so hard to find nice stationery? I mean stuff like this or this or even this? There are no decent postcards that you can send… the Chumbak ones are nice but not Bangalore-y. All I’d need is this, in red and I think I could take care of all my stationery needs…
(*er-hem if you need pointers on what to buy me for the big three-oh coming up, I just told you).
{big love}
