Morjes!

Welcome to my blog. I write about fitting in, sticking out, and missing the motherland as a serial foreigner.

One of these things is not like the others

Thanks to a birthday gift and two Christmas gifts, Jeremy and I now subscribe to three magazines. It's been a long time since we've been subscribers to anything - our most recent subscriptions before this year were to The Economist and FARMS in 2004ish - and I'm really excited about getting a few magazines in the mail each month. And since all of these subscriptions were gifts, I can say that it truly is the gift that keeps on giving.

Now, for what the title of this post refers to. The three magazines we're receiving are:


Smithsonian (a gift from my parents)


Foreign Policy (a gift from Jeremy's brother Dave)


...and Reader's Digest (a gift from Jeremy to me for my birthday last October). Woohoo! I have a strange love for this magazine due to the fact that I spent almost every summer of my childhood reading through stacks of old issues at my grandparents' house in California.

What magazines do you subscribe to, and are any of them incongruous with each other?
