yay part 2!!

http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=24088 more excitment! hopefully this is the third in a row that we make...

Raaz

so there are all these ads here for this horror film entitled Raaz The Mystery Continues. No idea if it is any good, though apparently, it is directed by some 27 yr old hot shot, Mohit Suri. Thought maybe ER would be interested in him? Maybe re-make Kalyug into an English language film?

What ho! What ho!

Have been reading wooster and jeeves lately. (or jeeves and wooster as it should be known). and drinking lots of tea.
ps. did i mention that i saw elephant bells in the delhi museum? just like we have at home. tried looking for some more in the markets but alas, they have remained elusive.

Aamir Khan to the rescue

So this ad has been playing on the tv recently. It gives you guys a taste of what it is like for me over here. Only I am still waiting for Aamir to come and rescue me!

Excited for

better off ted (pilot script was hilarious) and castle. check them out!

Yay yay yay!

http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=24076 And E said that although he doesn't think I would be able to be on set the whole time, I def get to go for at least a week!

so um, wtf to this.

I really don't know what to say about. completely taken by surprise. http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=24066

We've been dreaming about it for so long...

...that at this point when they say "President Obama" it still seems unreal to me. I guess that since Bush took office when I was just a teenager that it seems crazy that we could have anyone but "Dubya" for our prez!
I'm still trying to figure out what this "hope" concept is that they seem to be selling...

On correspondence

Um, should I be concerned that F has not bothered to reply to my emails in the past 9 days? or that his prior emails have been tepid, infrequent and short?

Yep, def who I saw on a motorcycle on Sunday!!

On the Taj Mahal

So visiting the Taj Mahal made my entire trip worth it. It is so amazingly beautiful, it really did bring tears to my eyes at the loveliness as I was walking up to it. I took tons of pictures that I have to show you. You will both have to see it some day. And, yeah, I also got to see Julia Roberts. I was sitting just watching as the sun was setting on the Taj when suddenly there was the mini scrum of reporters all taking pictures. I saw this angry floppy haired man shouting at them to stop. At first, I thought he must be some lesser member of the British royalty or something because I did not recognize him and had no idea why the paparazzi would be interested in him. Then I heard her say, "what about stop do they not understand?" and I realized that it was none other than Julia Roberts. Her voice is absolutely unmistakable. I was glad to see she was dressed sensibly and trying to avoid the limelight.

this my friends is that adorable video

that I think I tried to recreate (rather poorly) in the kitchen back home: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxlwYP0HNdc

dodie's fav band

I keep forgetting to mention that I came back they were on the top 8 at 8! was amused/horrified. and the I was looking at the back of one of my rolling stones and they were on some sort of top 10 charts or something and i was like "nuts! I can't believe people other than dodie and strange scandinavians have heard of this band!" they are so frightening

random question

Is what we always called "duck sauce" what other normal people call "plum sauce"?? cause I don't think we have duck sauce out here and I had some alleged plum sauce that seemed suspiciously like duck sauce...

Two news items of note from our beloved Empire!

First: Esmee I believe I told you to read this script which I so kindly left in a box for you in my bedroom. Seriously. Its good. The one I said was good. and now look who is attached?? My favorite actress! And Colin F who is still trying to redeem all his shitty career moves! huzzah! http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=24056

Second: I am going to assume if this movie actually gets made it will be all kinds of awesome because it is being directed by Tarsm (and remember how cool THE FALL looked? uh yeah) and it will star Steven! (although it appears that Tarsm thinks henry the 8th had a brother who you know lived....) but anyways Steven has a job! good for him! Happily it doesn't have a start date so I can still hire him away for our project. hahaha. loves it! http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=24060

LOST. OMG LOST!! LOST!!! OMG!!!

This is what dear defmer had to say about it:

Lost [9 PM, ABC] - This is important television, and unlike the filmic works of Lars von Trier, it's possible and necessary to watch these episodes more than once. Jack and Ben attempt to reunite the Ocean 6 passengers to go back to the island (with Locke's body) to save anyone still alive. Then they come under attack by unknown forces. If you need a recap of the first four seasons, check out Lost: Destiny Calls on at 8 PM. If you have never seen Lost before, wow, um, we don't really know what to say.



WE HAVE TO GO BACK KATE!! WE HAVE TO GO BACK!!!! OMG LOST its starting!!

...this time with link...

http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=24043

We soooo called this

Read this Charles, esp near the end of the second paragraph.

GAH!!

Proud to be an American

So excited about Obama! Only heard part of his inaugural address but it was enough to make me want to cry!

I want to cast Steven in SP

Don't worry...you don't need to know what project I am talking about (don't want to post the name on the internets cause I bet K or someone has google-alerted our project names). Wouldn't he be so perfect as a stockbroker-type-turned-action-guy? Um, and yes, its really just cause I think he is cute and want to meet him...hmmm...how can I swing a meeting?

If you want to see video of that horrid man who yelled at me

then go to this link. some charlie rose thing with his brothers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBMluWgN5Bc not a very nice person...

There are no monkeys in Kolkata

There are many things that are different than expected. The long lasting effects of being ruled by the Brits are apparent everywhere -- the constant drinking of tea, the ever-present sweater vests, the love of cricket. And it is nothing like Bollywood would have you believe. Some day we can all visit, but we'll go to Mumbai.

halloo from across the globe

what's this about australia? how and when might you be going charles??? i've been gone for a week and all this happens??
ps, esmee, for goodness sakes get your passport. we all must go on a trip this spring!

Does anyone else think...

...that if one of us is in India, we should all be in India??? Sigh.
If only I had money, time, and a passport. Dodie, we miss you...please take care of yourself...

Oh Charles...

... I know Australia seems romantic, but here's Dylan Moran warning us against it...



Well???

Dispatch from Kolkata

Am doing alright. STOP. Hot, crowded and dirty here. STOP. Seeing lots of kids. STOP. Miss you both.

the gg's

look up video on this but i kind of LOVE that Kate confessed that she has loved leo for 13 years...kind of an insane moment!

She hasn't said anything yet...

...but I'm pretty sure mom is dying to see this since it involves both her beloved Johnny and new fave Christian Bale.
