Saawariya

Good lord! What on earth was that Mr. Bhansali? Err...did you take a little help from Lucy, you know, the one in the Sky with Diamonds? Hands down, THE worst movie ever! I was thisclose to breaking my TV, swallowing the DVD whole and pulling out what's left of my hair - all at the same time. One song by Himesh would've done the trick I guess. Thank God for small mercies. I'd rather watch a re-remake of Sholay with Gulshan Grover in a triple role as Jai, Veeru and Thakur...and Bappi-duh in a double role as Gabbar and Basanti. One contraction of advice if you ever feel like making one more movie Mr.Bhansali - DON ' T! For the love of God, my TV, my hair and my digestive system, please don't.

‘Tis the seasoning

As I bit into my sandwich, I couldn’t help but follow my taste buds as they high-fived the cranial nerve and excited a million neurons. Go Cajun “Tingly” Chicken sandwich! Yes, ‘twas definitely the seasoning. Love ‘em spices. These days I seem to love almost about anything. Maybe ‘tis the season? The lights, the snow, the “family” tree, Sankt Niklaus, the retail madness…’tis all good!

Changing tones, the race for the white house is pretty interesting this time. Most of the contenders have nothing to fear about following the current President’s act. Oh heck, I think I’m one up just for being able to pronounce ‘nuclear’. Black/white, woman/man – who cares? In any case, the white house could certainly use some diplomacy, accountability, and a little less 'redneckism' at a minimum. Not to mention a VP who is not perpetually playing Marco Polo. That’s just my 1/50th of a free falling currency.

Happy Holidays! Send me your wish lists and hang up those stockings! I'm doing my best to fill up that red shirt as I order one more sandwich for the road.
