God's Eyes

I've been groovin' on god's eye's for a while now. A few years ago Monkeytown was decorated with huge one's made from branches (I couldn't find pix). In 2006 Ami and I made tiny ones from toothpicks to decorate our miniature Christmas tree. Lately I've been feeling the need for any all forms good luck charms, amulets and agents of positive energy: crystals, dream catchers, frankincense, crucifixes, sage and anything else you might want to suggest. I've been working on getting my bedroom nook to the heights of spiritual and physical coziness (more on that soon). I am on a search for the perfect god's eye for the nook.

Must love Slumdogs

Slumdog Millionaire was not really my bag from a critical perspective but come on, I do not have a heart of stone. This shit is fucking cute. I know it's problematic to pluck some kids from the slums of Mumbai take them to Disneyland and then exploit the outing as a way to make lazy guilt-ridden American people feel better about their pathetic lives. BUT. COME. ON.

"I feel very very very very very very good," said 10-year-old Azharuddin Ismail when he found out he was going to the Oscars.

Rubina Ali I know what you're thinking, yes that's right I LIVE FOR HER. Rubina was all giddy smiles. "I'm very happy that I'm going to the Oscars," she said, as her aunt boiled rice for lunch. "I'm the only one of my friends who gets to see the Oscars. My friends are saying, 'Your fate is so good.'" (From AP)

Oh and Frieda Pinto is so beautiful that it actually make the ridiculous plot of Slumdog sort of plausible.

Have you seen this video. Watch it over and over again and feel better about the world.

ps. I am still working on my screenplay for the sequel The Truth and Cats and Slumdogs.

Minnie Muse

A couple years back my ultimate blog crush Tara Sinn did a post on the cuteness that is Minnie Mouse. I can't find it because she seems to have deleted her old blog, but I compiled a few images of Minnie-inspired cuteness of my own.
