Negin and I are packing, preparing for part 2 of visiting family. Osita is over, and we’re having a quiet night in the house. Seems like a good time for a little weekly web round-up.

• Baha’i Thought blogs about a positive portrayal of African Americans in the film 2012
• My sister’s dance students perform at Movement City open house. (Note the young lady in the tutu.)
• Jeune Street blogs the African Studies Association Conference in New Orleans (tag with: Katrina, NOLA, Lower Ninth Ward, Making it Right).
• And if you’re working with the younger set, you’re probably familiar by now with jerkin’. Here’s a video if you don’t know: The Ranger$, jerkin’ for the fans.
• We’ve been visiting the phenomenal Colin, Kim, and baby Caleb when possible to read through Paul Lample’s “Revelation and Social Reality.” Palabra Publications also has downloadable PDF e-books on topics relating to the Baha’i Faith.

Because it’s Friday, and Negin and I have been having hilarious conversations during our commute the last few days, here are a series of great conversations (and monologues) from around the blogosphere:

• Moving Pictures wrote a great review of WALL-E way back in January. Such a good movie – and the review really holds up.
• Sholeh jumps into Lake Michigan… wearing a dress.
• Douglass is one! Baha’i Thought celebrates the birthday in style.
• Jeune Street takes a look at Facebooking Faith (via Baha’i Thought).
• A little audio conversation from Plot Twist, a Baha’i producer, and the best roommate I ever had. I hear he’s working with…
• Aaron and the Sea, which means they’re having all kinds of good conversation.
