Movies! I love movies! Especially Indian movies! Especially Malayalam language movies!
So, I was a little afraid to look forward to Bethlehem Kudumba Unit precisely because of the age difference between Nivina and Mamitha, which is....significant. But I also have fait in Girish AD, and reading what he wrote about this, I feel better. #DesiWatch www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp2s...

Okay, there is no way I can do a Midnight Madness screening at TIFF, but I've got a bit of a project planned dealing with Malayalam horror (that is, if this year will just settle down), so of course this hit my radar. #DesiWatch variety.com/2026/film/fe...

I just ordered five scriptbooks from DC Books -- I have this idea that maybe if I work on scenes along with reading the script that it will be helpful. We'll see. But 5 books,and the shipping slightly more than the cost of the books (understandable), and they still come to under $40CA. Crazypants.
OMG, T&T is already taking mooncake pre-orders. Where has this year gone?
I unabashadly love this movie. (Probably not a chance I'll be able to see the re-release, which makes me sad). #DesiWatch www.cinemaexpress.com/malayalam/ne...

A Korean creator has made a pattern of the adorable Ggeomeoksali from The East Palace, so of course instead of working this morning I'm searching for Korean crochet terms so I can parse it out. Of course.
We started 2026 optimistic, vowing to get back on track, but had setbacks. Slowly, we're going to get there. Here's Episode 21, the first in a series devoted to Historical films. This time we look at Urumi and Swathi Thirunal. #DesiWatch polandinepatti.totallyfilmi.com/polandinepat...

There was a reason we chose the name Polandine Patti for our podcast. An iconic dialogue from an iconic scene. I missed this with all the (waves hands) stuff going on, but it's an interesting look at it. #DesiWatch www.youtube.com/watch?v=EINO...

This was the good stuff at the end of another tough week. We signed the papers for the sale of my mum's house, we cleared out the last of the things we're taking, and yes, we moved it yesterday when it was 41C and humid as hot soup. We had good friends to help us get it into our house.
We got up and went to the farmer's market this morning, and it was the first kind of normal morning we've had in months. But this has been such a mess of a year that I'm unable to relax into this, expecting the other shoe to drop any moment. It's stressful, but at least I have eggs. And cherries.
I just realized I meant to change the settings to make this public, and duh, I forgot. It's now public. (Forgive me, it's like 8000C and massively humid here today, brains are toast.)

I know many people are saying "Happy Canada Day!", but for me, the last few years, it's turned into a day of reflection. Yes, we put up a flag on the house to fly all summer, but I also think about who we are and how we got here.
