Ana mabsootah: Laptop Lunches
http://mabsootah.blogspot.com/2012/02/laptop-lunches.html
Tuesday, February 14, 2012. Laptop Lunches- Bento boxes. So, this is a random post (I'm obviously trying to get behind on my work. See the picture at the bottom of this page). Boxes I'm not so good about MAKING them (damn $4 cafeteria lunches! But I love the idea of them, the look of them, the nutrition of them, and the making of them. You can buy traditional Asian bento boxes from places like H-Mart. And other Asian markets, but I also like how we now have "American" counterparts. Pottery Barn kids.

Wednesday, August 1, 2012. Book review: Our Last Best Chance. As I have probably mentioned before, my husband is originally a Jordanian citizen. (of course, it's more complicated than that, but I'll go into that if I ever talk about national identity) We try to get to Jordan. For more information about Jordan, check our their tourism page. And my page here. Is the King of Jordan and the head of the Hashemites. The family who rules over Jordan. Remember Lawrence of Arabia? That's ALL about the Hashemites!

Ana mabsootah: October 2012
http://mabsootah.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 19, 2012. I came across this quote today and wanted to share it:. Narrated by Anas bin Malik:. Allah's Apostle said, "Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or he is an oppressed one. People asked, "O Allah's Apostle! It is all right to help him if he is oppressed, but how should we help him if he is an oppressor? The Prophet said, "By preventing him from oppressing others.". Sahih Bukhari, Volume:3, Book :43 (Oppressions), Hadith Number :624. Friday, October 19, 2012. When you stu...

Tuesday, January 31, 2012. Home, DC Auto Show. Tuesday, January 31, 2012. Tuesday, January 17, 2012. Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy. Yesterday I got to (finally) see the movie Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy. I've been wanting to see this movie since last Nov; although I gather that it didn't actually get released in full (in the U.S.) until this month. It was a very good, very British film. It's a Cold War drama, very unapologeticlly so, and was quite fun to go back to a film so into. Written by John le Carré.

Thursday, October 18, 2012. It's that time of the year where I now know (well, mostly know) who is going abroad at my university for Spring 2013! Yea and super yay because we are totally up in numbers and also where people are going! I have students going to:. We got ears- super cheers! I watch too much Mickey Mouse Clubhouse now. Do you want to take classes you can't at home? Do you want to learn a language? Do you want to gain some insight into your host culture? Studying abroad requires the ability to...

Ana mabsootah: Bilingual Learning
http://mabsootah.blogspot.com/2012/07/bilingual-learning.html
Thursday, July 26, 2012. My husband's first language is Arabic and mine is English. My husband speaks English fluently (pretty amazing considering he really didn't have much formal learning! Little Arabic. [Although, thankfully colloquial- I think it would be worst if I only knew Modern Standard Arabic] We are trying to raise our daughter to be bilingual (and later tri-lingual). At this point- what they say may not make a whole lot of sense in one language or the other! So, what does that mean? 2 Encoura...

Ana mabsootah: Book Review: Divergent
http://mabsootah.blogspot.com/2012/10/book-review-divergent.html
Monday, October 15, 2012. And so I have been enjoying this insurgence of dystopian books into the world as of late. I find it also interesting that they are young adult novels; the themes are so different from that of the older generation dystopians. (less sex certainly, but also the point of view is so different it seems). This review is on another book- Divergent. Our heroine's conflict comes when she tests into no faction. She is not faction-less (a fate seen almost worst than death , but she is t...
