Barrack O'Bollywood hahaha

Wow, so the past couple of weeks have been crazy! Just, due date after due date. School still manages to be fun though, somehow. So, I went to see Slumdog Millionaire for the second time, and it was great, then I got assigned the craziest role ever for theatre (woot, Othello!), and it's a murder scene too. Then, debates in Geography, the list goes on.
So, this weekend I went to see the Vagina Monologues performed at UTEP, and it was fantastic, got a t-shirt and two buttons. PUSSIES UNITE! Haha, then the next night I went to see The Last Five Years performed at Center Stage, and it was amazing as well. Extremely sad, too. 
This weekend is Bellydance Superstars and the Oscars! I can't wait to see what dancers are gonna be here! And I'm so excited to see what awards Slumdog is gonna get! So many nominations! 
Speaking of the Oscars, hopefully *fingers crossed* M.I.A. will be performing O...Saya and Jai Ho with A.R. Rahman at them. That is, if she's recovered by then. If you haven't heard yet, M.I.A. gave birth to her healthy baby boy this Wednesday. I'd like to give a big congrats to her, and I wish her and her son the best! If all goes well the new momma will be able to perform (nothing stopped her at the Grammys- on her due date) but who knows, only time will tell.
Also! This Tuesday, HSM3 comes out on DVD! I'm going to be buying it that day, for sure! and after this weekend, my Friday night UTEP movie tradition starts up again! I can't wait, there'll be some good ones this year, so far I know we're going to see, Towelhead, Milk, Doubt, Gonzo, and Choke. My life can truly be called eventful now!

World Town

I'm in love with life right about now. I've just been blessed recently, I'm not sure how. I've found that it's become much simpler for me to appreciate the small things in life. And that's the best you can do I suppose.
I've never been happier just seeing good films on weekends and going out for dinner with my father and going out for chai right after. I look forward to all those little things that really make my life worth while. And even on weekdays I'm content doing school work and solving math problems with one of my favorite people. I like sitting in desks with fluorescents shining up above. It gives me thrills to watch my favorite shows online and get texts when I don't expect them. 
I want to give back, because it makes me feel accomplished knowing that on the other side of the world someone's benefitting from me. I'm finally comfortable with just being who I am, going with the flow of things. I've never been more content and completely ecstatic in my life.
