The Scene:
A sunny day in the Central Park Zoo.
The Cast:
Me and my pops. Sea lions doing tricks and tamarin monkeys being adorbs and cuddly red pandas chillaxing in trees. (Oh, yes—and one other person.)
Holy adorable red panda scoping out her audience of ardent admirers!
Holy adorable red panda gazing at her panda pal, who's chillin' in the grass below her. OMGz I want to snuggle her!
The Story:
I'm a wimpy douche.
The Long Version:
I was looking at pandas, and I noticed a very familiar-looking woman standing next to me. She looked an awful lot like Gurinder Chadha, in fact. And I dithered and wimbled, and she had a conversation with her husband and children, and they decided to leave the zoo.
After she left, of course, I decided that it was absolutely, unquestionably her. And I didn't have the ovaries to just tell her that Bend It Like Beckham and Bride and Prejudice are two of the most fabulous movies ever. (Emphasis on Bend It Like Beckham, as per usual.) Or that I'm wicked psyched about It's a Wonderful Afterlife.
Yeah. It was definitely Gurinder Chadha and her hubby. I suck.
Sad! But even though I totally pussed out, it's okay. 'Cause I got to see this guy rockin' his backstroke:
The polar bear swim meet is fast approaching. Work those pecs, buddy!
In non-stalker news, the Daily Mail ran an article several centuries ago (well, in January of this year...so perhaps just several decades ago) on the "end of the hourglass [figure, not timepiece]." It's...kind of a weird article. You should check it out.
You should ALSO check out Merlin. I've never heard of it before, but it seems it's been picked up in the US (did everyone know this but me?), and this blog post about it at the Guardian is hilarious. (Thank you, blogger, for calling the eleventh Doctor Who "a funny-looking teenager dressed as a history professor." I will love you forever for that.) Guilty pleasure, here I come!
