This week, I interviewed a satirist, questioned the state of legality in marriages across the world, had a birthday, and made fun of Putin’s pretty ponies. I also played a guessing game with pictures over on Jewlicious.

In the world this week:

1. Interview with the Prime Minister of Estonia in Monocle, my new favorite mag
2. The quick brown fox
3. Choosing to convert to Judaism
4. Why my wife doesn’t cook dinner and why I love this economist
5. Blogging in Afghanistan
6. Victoria’s Secret on El Al: Risque
7. A novel about North Korea
8. Iraqi mixed marriages
9. Staying fit when eating is your job- Padma Lakshmi
10. Seriously?

Have a good weekend.
