Have you heard of Overheard in New York? People can post interesting/funny/weird things they've overheard...in New York, of course. They also have an Overheard Everywhere.
Anyway, this is a random funny comment I overheard at Fresno's Greek Fest:
Man: "God I love a man in a skirt."
He was talking/joking about the men walking around in white skirts like these. Made Mom and me laugh.

Saawariya
Official movie site here.
Finished watching this last night. I love this movie's title, music, and actors (Ranbir Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Salman Khan, and especially Rani Mukherjee). I also liked how the storyline and characters were far from perfect (I'm not as into dreamy happy movies anymore). It's not my favorite Indian movie, but I absolutely loved its visual displays of darkness and cool (blues, greens, purples, etc.) colors in general. The saris were gorgeous, and I liked the dancing. I do have to say that it was overly dramatic most of the time, but I guess that was the point.
Oh...and check out Ranbir Kapoor's almost-naked towel dance (Nicky showed me this scene awhile ago). My mom just laughed and walked away after a few seconds. I liked it because he's attractive and you rarely see guys' bodies in such a revealing, sexualized way. We talked an awful lot about how Indian movies reveal and hide the female body (and kisses!) in my Indian Cinema class. I miss taking classes like that one.

Parenthood (Show)
I recently started watching Parenthood online, and I really like it so far. I love how it's based in Berkeley, where I went to school, and it relates to a lot of things I enjoy (people, culture, kids, school psychology, etc.). Anyway, this quote made me happy for some reason:
Jim: "Hey, Sarah."
Sarah: "Can I come in?"
Jim (after a brief hesitation): "You like lasagna?"
Maybe it's because I want these characters to be together and because I love food?

Post #90: Tubby's Wave to Cinderella
I can't use real names here, but this tiny little kid (his nickname is "Tubby") at my volunteer place waddled up to me and looked at the sticker on my clipboard. Here's what made me smile:
Me: "What are you looking at? Cinderella?"
::Kid waves his arm::
Me: "Are you waving at Cinderella?"
Kid: "Yea!"
Haha... This kid isn't very verbal, so I don't know if he was actually answering my question, answering his own question, or randomly saying something that sounded like "Yea!" Sooo cute though. He could melt anyone like butter.
