Until now that is. Had seen Pyaasa when I was a child with Dad and it didn't stay on after that. Saw it again recently and along with it Kaagaz Ke Phool and Mr and Mrs. 55.

You can try this recipe , but don't say I didn't warn you. Oh, it might be okay for you people with lots of patience, but if you're the restless sort who doesn't like to wait (who, me?), or one who requires immediate gratification (who, me?), do yourself a favor and go buy a pint of Ben & Jerry's and sit in front of the TV for an hour instead. Your restless soul will thank you. Things started out just peachy. Put 2 cups heavy cream and 1/2 cup condensed milk in Pan #1 and warm it up. Put some corn syrup, water, and granulated sugar in Pan #2 and heat until the sugar dissolves. The recipe says to use a wet pastry brush to wash down the sides of the pan. This prevents sugar crystals from forming, which will make the candy grainy. Using a tiny brush to "wash down" the sides of the pan wasn't fun. The recipe says to reduce the heat now. (Whaaa? Isn't that just going to take longer ?) Oh yeah, reduce the heat and cook until the temperature (on th...

No 485 - The Wicker Man (1973) Director - Robin Hardy As we creep ever closer to Halloween I feel like I should watch some films which are the famous 'horrors'. The list has a few classics on it but I have decided to begin with The Wicker Man. Mainly because we're all going to Shunt for Halloween , and the theme is Wicker Man themed. Now, I have only watched this film the once during my first year of uni and as is becoming distressingly common with films in this blog my previous experience involved being drunk and passing out about half way through. I had vague memories of strangeness and nudity - and decided that I should watch the film to refresh my memory on the kind of clothing that would be suitable for the night. It is certainly a strange strange film - and a film that has a lot of subtext.... As Toby and I watched it we were having discussions about whether the film was hinting t the fear that came with the demise of the hippy generation or whether it is talking ...

Watching Dexter Season Two (Showtime). With (perfect) Michael C. Hall. Excellent. Really original (yes, it's still possible to innovate in serial-killer territory).

Gisele Bundchen must be the modern Artemis, goddess of the forest. The Brazilian supermodel definitely loves Mother Nature, last year she had a campaign where in she wore a water dress that encourages everyone to conserve water. Now she's back with another nature-loving campaign ad for her Ipanema flip flop line. She was in a forest outfit where leaves and vines hung all over her body. The new ad aims to raise awareness on atlantic deforestation and supporting the SOS Mata Atlantica. By a special request of the Gisele and Grendene (owner of the Ipanema brand and also producer of Melissa shoes), SOS Mata Atlantica is planting 25,500 saplings of 100 different species to recover 15 hectares of Atlantic Forest in the Brazilian regions of Campinas and Bahia. The forest will be kept for five years by the mentioned organization with support from the sandals company until the plants are grown. Source

Gabcast! Dancing With Daisy #39 - Saying Goodbye To the October Sky Click the play button above to hear me read this poem. Saying Goodbye to the October Sky It's almost time to say goodbye to the clouds of the October skies.
