This had to be posted.

What’s on my roll?

My blogroll specifically…
Since moving over to Wordpress, I didn’t bring along the blogroll I used to have on my side panel back at Blogger. Instead, I became smart and starting using Google Reader and decided to make like one of Giuseppe Ottaviani’s mixes and “Linking People” to some of the blogs I’ve been following for [...]

If you don’t know me by now…

I’ve seen a couple of blogger buddies do similar posts to this one that originally started over here at Hamish’s.
Seems like I’m having an “on month” with being a “regular blogger”, so I’m going to share a few of the things I reckon I should have told Zeen before we found ourselves in our wedded [...]

In context of baby showers…

I bought the latest edition of The Big Issue and even though it has been making the rounds already, it was the first time I saw this Zapiro cartoon.

Accompanying the cartoon was “An Ode to the President’s Penis” written by Lauren Beukes. I can’t find the ode on her site and not sure if I [...]

It’s never too late to change.
I say… sometimes, it’s never too early.

Posting on the go…

I’m doing a bit of work over the weekend and sitting in Kauai with WiFi available… and figured, since I haven’t ever done a blog post from my laptop yet, I’ll do one now :D
So… hello world from my MacBook Pro!

Something to share…

My husband and I are total junkies for Shafiq Morton’s writing… so when he recently emailed this write up on the esteemed Habib Umar, there was no way I wasn’t going to share it.

Media interviews can be predictable things. People who are [...]

In a world of distinctly shaped characters…

Yesterday I stumbled upon this poster. I liked it so much, I impulsively bought a print and thought it would be apt to put up in the office, since I DO work with type on a daily basis.

I spontaneously thought of sharing the link and really didn’t expect the response it got. In South [...]

I’m no public speaker…

I have an very close aunty friend (that I may have mentioned here before) whose only daughter got married on Sunday. Back when the initial wedding plans started, she asked Zeen to do the opening qiraa’at and that I give a speech. Both of us declined, but were forced into it in a way only [...]

Mehndi model…

On Sunday I offered my hands in aid of promoting an up and coming mehndi artist, Nadirah, check her out here. I spent my Sunday morning in really hot weather, but ended up with pretty mehndi hands :)

By midday I was pretty exhausted because of the 30+ degree heat (and yeah, modeling is a very [...]
