   "Why do you build me up (build me up), buttercup baby, just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around...
.... and worst of all (worst of all) you never call baby, when you say you will (say you will) but I love you still! I need you (I need you) more than anyone baby, you know that I have from the staaaaaaaaart..."

*Looks around* Huh? Oh, sorry, it's been stuck in my head.

Anywho, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Or as my 5 year old cousin said in my Christmas card, "Happee Nu Yeer!" So cute... *melts*

Anyways, 2004 has been pretty damn good so far. I went to see the fireworks downtown last night, and I didn't hear any crying children, barking dogs, or incoherant catcalls from the drunks! Is that a good sign, or what?

Well, since I have nothing much interesting to post today, I'll do something completely off the cuff and random! Enjoy!

10 Reasons Why You Should All Love Bollywood:

1. Because it's the only film industry that can make the life of Asoka, a somewhat evil Buddhist king in the Mauryan dynasty, into a musical.

2. Because it can introduce a character with a crazy name like 'Bhuvan' (pronounced Boo-vahn) with a vaguely moose-like appearance and a turban, and all the girls will still be in love with him. Try that with an American moose-like guy.

3. Because you, for once, will actually pay attention to one thing for 4 hours straight (other than LotR extended version, Tigress ~_^)

4. Because they can burst into song at a pin drop, and for that matter, they often do.

5. Because the aforementioned songs are embarassingly catchy, and you'll end up downloading the soundtrack and learning all those crazy Hindi words. "Ghananan ghananan ghananan ghananan..."

6. Because they can run into a room in one outfit and run out in another in only 10 seconds. That's an accomplishment.

7. Because it contains some of the most random dance moves you've ever seen, and the moves are both rhythmic and spastic at the same time.

8. Because no matter what the movie is about, there's always a random love story. If the movie is about Indian villagers, there's a love story. If the movie is about a plague, there's a love story. You understand.

9. Because in no other movie will the characters respond to, "I love you," with, "I don't speak English."

10. Because in the end, all the loose ends are tied up at the same time, whether logically or not. Everybody is happy but the token English character, who either dies in the movie, or goes back to his/her own country to die alone and unloved.

Random enough for ya, kids? Well, I'm off into the sunset. Hope the first day of 2004 was great for ya!

"...so fill me up (fill me up) buttercup, don't break my heaaaaaaaaaart!"
