Hope you're enjoying a day of celebrating our nation's leaders. This video might certainly inspire a giggle. I first saw it my freshman year at IU, brought to me by the same ladies who introduced me to the puppy cam.

happy friday!
What are your weekend plans? I'm very excited to be on the radio today! I'll be on WNIN 88.3 (the Evansville-Henderson-Owensboro NPR member station) from 3-5 p.m. CST working for the pledge drive! If you're thinking about contributing, this might be a good time :)

Also, congratulations to Maria and Alex, who got engaged this weekend! You are two beautiful people and I love you both. You are excellent for each other!
airport yoga
Do you practice yoga? I've taken classes and followed DVD guides for a few years now, and recently I made the big investment and signed up for my first month-long membership at a local yoga studio, Yoga 101. From what I understand, it's not Bikram, though it has some Bikram influences. The room is very hot, just the same— around 100ยบ! I really enjoy it. It helps me clear my head a bit and it's so physically intense. Sometimes during class drops of sweat fall from my body to the mat (which, particularly during lying-down poses, I cover with a towel) and I frequently see beads of sweat running down my legs! I wear only tiny cotton stretchy shorts and a tank top or a sports bra, and when I'm finished everything is drenched in sweat. It's awesome!
I recently read about the San Francisco airport's new yoga room. How cool is that?! The airport is a wonderful place for yoga, since people can get so cramped on airplanes. I think it's particularly cute that they had to come up with their own icon for the yoga room, since there wasnt yet one in the international guide of airport pictograms.

on twins
via Kiss the Groom
What is up with the photographic fascination with twins? Or just fascination in general. I have always fantasized about what it might be like to have a twin. Maria and I were practically raised by the Olsens, and to be honest, we thought we looked just like them. I remember one time we went to get our hair cut and Maria literally brought the VHS case (ha!) for Our Lips Are Sealed so the stylist, Nata, could make something similar to what Mary Kate was wearing. We also wanted to be Hallie and Annie in The Parent Trap. (It's still my secret life-ambition to be one half of an adorable, super-cool and hilariously mischievous pair.)

This recent article from National Geographic talks about the possibilities for discovery in studying twins' genetic codes, and features some awesome portraits. It even shares a national twin convention in Ohio. NPR recently published this story about photographers' love for twins, and still, stories like this one from Vogue about Mary Kate and Ashley (who are, of course, famously fraternal, not identical) captivate my attention. I think it's so cool that these two have memories that they share in a way that they literally can't always see the lines between each other. What would it be like to have such a strong connection with another separate person? What would it be like to share the womb?
Also noted: This woman isn't Angelina Jolie's identical twin, but she could have fooled me.

In the spirit of kale-eating, my future-dietician, cooking former-roommate Augusta was wearing this t-shirt when we most recently Skyped. Have you seen them? Apparently, there's all sorts of courtroom drama because Chick-Fil-A got all riled up about "Eat More Kale," saying it sounds too similar to "Eat More Chicken." If you can, buy a t-shirt to support the cause. (The nutrients cause, of course.)
how did I get a degree in journalism without ever having heard of the Proust Questionnaire?
