this weekend i am:

singing karaoke to celebrate cindy’s last weekend in town; catching up on reading and blog posts; and going for a long run on sunday.

interesting things from around the interwebs:

aziz ansari came to india over the holidays and says everything i always thought about visiting india while i was growing up.

the not sorry project. it’s great.

airlinecheckins will automatically check you in for flights as soon as they open and get you the best available seat based on your preferences. looks interesting and useful, especially since i’ve got some travel coming up in the next few months.

my friend and fellow arkansan jen has just been appointed the new executive director of the shelby farms park conservancy! congratulations, jen!

11 things you always wanted to know about wearing a turban.

twins in vietnam were found to have different fathers. so crazy.

book bingo! i am definitely trying this out.

i know i’m about a month behind on this, but i finally got around to watching all four of pantene’s dad-do commercials, and they are brilliant. deangelo williams is definitely my favourite.

a great look at memphis’ win over cleveland on monday night. i, too, thought my phone app was broken when i opened it to see tony allen had scored 26 points. that team really is all heart.

these cartoons added to instagram pictures will make your day.

in case you missed it:

my favourite passages from born to run, because it is the best book i have read in years.
