this weekend i am:

watching fuller house on netflix, running a few quick errands, making progress in all of my books, experimenting with recipes, catching up on some of my colouring, and figuring out some plans for pondicherry. lots of little things, but most of them take place at home, so i am very much looking forward to it.

interesting things from around the interwebs:

prince’s new passport photo is absolutely amazing. why can’t my passport photos look like this?

nike terminated their endorsement deal with manny pacquiao after he made anti-gay comments while running for senate in the philippines. good on you, nike.

nyc firefighters are learning mandarin to better communicate as first responders.

11 great harper lee quotes, may she rest in peace.

some hilarious profiles on indian marriage sites. i love it when the “liberal” families have such specific requests for their future daughter-in-law.

i am getting ready to re-enter the job pool, and this is likely to be my life for the next 6 months.

memphis tops thrillist’s list of craft beer cities poised to take giant leaps this year. this is great news, even for a non-beer drinker such as myself.

photos of a north korea the western world never gets to see. my fascination with this country continues to grow.

morgan freeman will soon be giving us all directions. amazing.

16 designers share their favourite notebooks. i am obsessed with notebooks, with penmanship, and with doodling, so this is perfect. especially that fourth one down.

in case you missed it:

there is another kitsch mandi this sunday, so check out my notes from my visit to january’s event. this month the mandi will be highlighting rural handicrafts.
