this weekend i am:

saying my goodbyes to bombay and heading back to my garden city.

interesting things from around the interwebs:

refugee girls dress up as what they want to be when they grew up and discuss their lives as adults. i thought this was really cool.

21 awesome books by awesome women. including one by my girl catherine lacey.

i love me some misty copeland, and these photos of her posing as some of degas’ dancers are stunning. i would love to see her dance live.

11 foods to keep in your fridge to aid in healthy eating.

secrets of congressional clocks, because i’m a huge nerd.

release date announced for the new harry potter book! i am drooling in anticipation and have already pre-ordered my copy.

siri hates your southern accent. and all accents in general, in my experience.

this video of celebrities reciting the lines of a justin bieber song is fantastic. and don’t worry, jon hamm, i also don’t know the song. it’s all good.

travel and accommodation for pondicherry have been booked, so now i am looking into things to do while i’m there. this bicycle tour looks like fun – i’m a sucker for a good bicycle tour – but i am open to all sorts of suggestions, so send them my way!

in case you missed it:

my review of lauren juliff’s how not to travel the world.
