Woman. Legend. Blog.

The weather is AWESOME right now.  Will Mr. B and I trample tourists to go see the DC cherry blossoms?  My parents are visiting on Sunday.  Will we discuss fetuses and diseases you can catch in India?  Stay tuned!  And have a great weekend.

As I was working on a new post today about Gabby Sidibe and whether her being overweight had implications for the entertainment industry and its images of women, I decided, um, what???!!! LOL! Who rlly cares?? I just want to rite about shoes!

Mr. B loves Audrey Hepburn.  Has seen every single one of her movies.  He loves her because she’s “the only classy and beautiful actress of the modern era” and has “redefined  what being a woman means.”

I still have dreams about my collie, Babe, so here's a picture of a collie romping in a spring field.

I have a MASSIVE list of links for you this week.   Something else might be massive this weekend, because Mr. B and I are doing taxes.

From le blogs:

1. Happy Ada Lovelace Day! from the Harpies
2. Why Eastern Europeans don’t smile, from ExpatHarem AND, thanks to that, I found a new blog I’ll be following: Scary Azeri!
3. An interview with STFU Parents founder B (includes placentas!)
4. Zolotoy telenok (or, The Little Golden Calf) from Languagehat
5. Now Ruz in Almaty, Kazakhstan (yay, spring!) from NewEurasia
6. Why Ben and Jerry’s Free cone day isn’t worth it from Economists do it with Models

And, I don’t know what it is in the water, but everyone is blogging about things I’ve been thinking about recently.    Grace described my sentiments exactly about wandering around, and  a post about hating Gen Y blogs from Derek, which I agree with 100%.  (which is probably ironic, given what he’s talking about.)

From les internets:

1. Why Africa is the next Afghanistan, from Bill Easterly
2. Russia sucks again. What’s new?
3. Sectarianism in Lebanon (my favorite link of the week)
4. Bride and Groom from Waiter Rant
5. God does not want Russians to enjoy Ikea
6. Free Cone Day at Ben and Jerry’s with bonus Jewish puns
7. Which countries do Americans like? (also with quality puns)

So, I watched this documentary yesterday and realized I have nothing to complain about in life.

The best thing about this week?  It’s Octopus Friday.  Which means nothing more than the fact that I drew a very anatomically incorrect and possibly hideous octopus for Friday.
