Oh my poor little blog, I've been neglecting you!
Here's the thing: work is KICKING MY ASS at the moment, and I literally have not had any time to watch or write up any delectable Bolly goodness. This, as you can imagine, is a very sad thing.
Plus, there's the impending milestone birthday coming up in, oooh, exactly a week from today, which is taking up a little bit of mental space.
So it was with MUCH HORROR that I stumbled across this (after seeing two lovely ladies with impeccable taste - Erin and Beth - have pretty much the same reaction on Twitter):
SERIOUSLY? I'm pretty much SMACK BANG dead-on the target market, and right about now I want to claw my own eyes out and choke back the tides of vomit. If that's what "Turning Thirty" is, then I have a week left to enjoy the blissful normality of being AN ADULT before I become a deranged, foul-mouthed screwup with a fondness for....pastels? I dunno, the cutesy 'girly' graphics at the start really got to me.
OH WHO AM I KIDDING?
Like I said to Beth, I'll totally end up seeing this, even if it's just to make myself feel better about being 30 and NOT being "that girl".
EDIT: okay and also because it CRACKS ME UP (for all the wrong reasons) like "I can't be your rebound sex toy forever". HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. Okay my official take on this film: CRACKTASTIC BADNESS
I have missed new posts. I have come here almost daily over the last 2 weeks hoping you'd have posted anew. I'm just glad to know you've not given up on the blog.
ReplyDeleteYes, 30 is one of THOSE milestones. But fabulosity cannot be contained in so raw a metric as age.
Enjoy your day!

Awww YAY, good to know someone misses me! Never fear, as soon as work dies down a lil bit, I have a MASSIVE backlog of filmi goodness (and badness) to ramble about. PROMISE.
ReplyDeleteAwww, I missed you too! (tho from your Twitter, I figured Life was pretty much the Beast right now for you...so hopefully it will let up a little soon!)
ReplyDeleteDon't worry! When you turn thirty, you...won't have a fondness for pastels! :-P (But, you know, avoiding being a deranged, foul-mouthed screw-up is a good idea too...:-)
Gosh, yes, is that women ever unpleasant-seeming in that movie...I efinitely don't think you are that girl...especially since she seems to take everything so seriously...whereas you seem to put bad things into hilarious Twitter statuses...:-)
and I could barely keep a straight face when he said "I can't be your re-bound sex toy forever..." I mean, who SAYS THAT? IN REAL LIFE? Liek, srsly?
Good gravy, I don't need a Bolly-mid-life-crisis...I think I'll stick with some zany-masala-goodness...:-)
Oh, btw, I'm loaning out my Bride and Prejudice like crazy at my college, and been begging my Mom to send me some *real* B-Wood dvds, for those who want the real stuff. My roomates saw some songs from Devdas and were like, "we need some real Bollywood!" Hopefully we can se Guzaarish? If it's not sucidially depressing, which it looks like it might be? :-(
Heheehee you're finally back and that too with a cracktastic film that I know secretly you will adore and so will I, because according to masala universe rules we tend to like the same things! It looks really pretentious in trying to be a chick flick but as I said before I CANNOT turn down swearing, snogging, and screw-upness that too in an Indian film!
ReplyDeleteI MISS YOU EVERY DAY!!! And don't let people fool you! The 20-somethings create this conspiracy that the misery they live in every day is to be envied. It is a lie. 30s are AWESOME. I have never been happier. I wouldn't go back to 20s for anything. You'll see ... :-)
