Fifty Shades of Pray, an Islamic Harlequin

I scowl with frustration at myself in the mirror. Damn my headscarf–it just won’t behave and damn the person who created such a horrible fabric that has subjected me to this ordeal. I should be applying for work, finishing that article I’ve been raving to everyone about – yet here I am, trying to tie my headscarf into submission.

Dear Mark Zuckerberg, I Am Completely Serious

Dear Mark Zuckerberg,

In recent years, you’ve easily become one of the most simultaneously loved and hated people to roam this planet. Loved for creating perhaps the most successful social networking website and hated for facilitating in the slow and excruciating death of privacy and, to another extent, human interaction.

Real Ninjabery!

So, it’s come to my attention that a cartoon I made years ago has been going around on Tumblr. It makes me laugh, cause well ..yeah. It’s weird, although a popular piece on Deviant art where it originally was uploaded. So yes, I’m just asserting my claim of ownership of the image. It was originally created as a response to the Reasonable Accommodation debate in Quebec.

My Stand Up Routine!

Hey all.

Here’s my second-ever stand up routine. I’m glad that I’ve picked a fruitful career that allows me to put my MA to use. I don’t only do ‘ethnic’ sort of comedy, but the crowd just beckoned for it – what can you do?

And yes, yes I really am that awkward in person.

OH. MY. GOD. BECKY.

In the haze of traveling, moving, discovering a new city and baring the humidity of D.C, I completely had lost track of the days until it was brought to my attention that today was Monday, June 7th. In other words,

On Mona Lisa’s Celebrityhood

If I learned anything from Art History 242 it was that the mystique behind the Mona Lisa was in her smile and her eyes. I personally think that’s all pretentious bull. I remember sitting in my Italian Renaissance art history

So, You Want to Draw Muhammad?

What this recent controversy shows us is not the overreaction of Muslims, but the overreaction of people who are starting to see a real problem in the general presence of Muslims. By people who think every little group speaks on behalf of all Muslims. By people who have their mind made up about a religion they’ve most likely only have ever read about online. By people just generally misinformed and terrified of an unuttered threat.
