Sad Dream

Last night I dreamt that BT had died (I don't remember how) and I was upset but keeping it together. But then one night I was watching TV with my friends and Bubs was playing and someone said something about sleeping with this guy and I said "I've only ever slept with BT" and I burst into tears because I wouldn't be able to do that again. And then I went to Bubs but he didn't really notice and no one knew what to do. Then it was the funeral and I told the boy to give Daddy a kiss and he did and I said say goodbye to Daddy and he said "Bye Daddy, S'morning" which means See you in the morning. Then we were leaving he said "I see Daddy" and I said he was gone now. And I woke up crying. It was so real.

This morning

This was my morning:
1. My clock had been reset to an hour earlier so I got up at 5 thinking it was 6.
2. It was down to 1 lane to take Ben to work.
3. It was backed up again after I dropped Brady at daycare.
4. which means I was stuck in 2 traffic jams.
5. I was already late, but had to get gas.... Read More
6. So I was 30 minutes late to work.
7. Twitter is down.

I'm hoping for a better afternoon.

Twitter Lesson - Direct Links

If you want to give someone the exact link to a tweet, click on the time that you sent it on the bottom of your tweet (it shows up in Twitter proper on the web). This will lead you to the direct link to your Tweet. You can either right click on the time and "copy link location" or you can click on it and copy the link from your browser bar. Then if you are trying to link to someone or entering a giveaway and want to give the exact tweet, you can paste it into the comment box or whatever you are trying to do.

Here's what the link will look like: http://twitter.com/anniekawaii/status/3145654488

Bride and Prejudice

In this Bollywood-style adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, Lalita Bakshi meets William Darcy at a friend's wedding in her hometown in India. Darcy is uncomfortable and insulting and she does not like him. But his friend, Mr. Balraj, takes to her older sister, Jaya, and the two begin to fall in love. On a trip, Lalita meets Johnny Wickham and the two become very close while her younger sister Lakhi develops a crush on him.
Meanwhile, a distant cousin, Mr. Kholi, arrives with the hope of finding a wife among Lalita and her sisters. When he is rejected he marries her friend, Chandra Lamba. Darcy and Lalita become close when she goes to LA to visit Chandra, but rejects his proposal based on his attitude and treatment of her sister. But when Lakhi runs off with Wickham, Darcy comes to her aid and Lalita realizes that first impression are not always the best.

Ya'll I have to say how much I love this movie. It is such a beautiful colorful movie and Aishwarya Rai, who plays Lalita (the Elizabeth character) is so so beautiful. And Martin Henderson is a good foot-in-the-mouth Darcy. And Naveen Andrews (Sayid!!!!) is the Bingley character. My love for him knows no bounds and, since it has been so long since I have seen this movie, I didn't realize he was in it.

It is a very clever movie though. The characters are transformed perfectly from English to Indian and I love how they managed to moderize it and keep it tradionaly at the same time. It is a little startling when they randomly burst into song esp. the dancing in the first major scence. But it is awesome and the music is incredible. This is a complete music see movie. I highly recommend it!

Good stuff on the Internet

I like funny websites as most people do. But there are some I look at religiously everyday. So here they are in no particular order:

1. TV Tropes: a website for "devices and conventions that a writer can reasonably rely on as being present in the audience members' minds and expectations. On the whole, tropes are not clichés." Be careful. It's like the mafia, once you're in, it's hard to get out.

2. Dlisted: For celebrity gossip with a side of bitchiness, this is it.

3. Go Fug Yourself: When celebrity have trouble dressing themselves they can go fug themselves.

4. Cake Wrecks: When "professional cakes go horribly wrong" so much awesome occurs.

5. Cracked: lists of funny stuff

6. 11 Points: ditto, but with 11 points always (This is thanks to Katy, my sister-in-law)

Read and enjoy.
