This entry is mostly about lounge singers and cardigans..

Incidentally, "I'll Be Home For Christmas" is like, the saddest song ever. We were at this big dinner thing with my parents, and the lounge singer started belting it out and I actually started tearing up a little bit. I mean, tearing up partly because the lyrics are so melancholic, but also maybe partly out of laughter because the lounge singer kept pointing at random people in the audience and kind of nodding an ultra cool hello at them. Brad kept impersonating it all through Christmas. If I ever become a lounge singer, I'm totally going to do that.

I will also totally half beach myself onto a piano. Seriously. I've seen this in pictures and it looks pretty damn classy.

Also, although this has nothing to do with pianos or lounge singers or anything, I bought this fabulous cardigan. It's this sort of wine-red and knitted with a tie up around the middle, and I like to wear it while I'm writing or you know... all the time.

I'm pretty excited about it. I think I might like, grab some used kleenexes and roll them up into the sleeves. Might even keep some peppermints in the pockets and loose pieces of chlorophyll-flavoured gum in there.

I'm not entirely sure, but like, according to almost every elderly person I've ever met, this is exactly what cardigans are for.

You also need some of those butterscotch lifesavers and maybe some sesame snap things... Happy New Year!

happy new year, dear.

i was going to call you last night and then i realized it's not midnight there and somehow it's not the same.

anywho, hope you had fun last night, doing whatever.

i..well, it was okay. new years is about who you're with and not what you're doing i suppose. :)

anyway, see you online or something.

p.s. when you come to town, we are going to find a piano. watch out, world.

and dude, "with bells on" is a much better, less happy, more dollyfied alternative to "it'll be home for christmas."

(i know the kenny dolly christmas album like...nobody's business.)

A confession. I have not meandered through this site for a while, I'm sorry Miss Pirate. Anywho, you are online right now but I thought it would be funnier to say Happy New Year to you on your BLARRRGH and msg you telling you to go read my comments. Ummm...wait a tick. I was supposed to received holiday greetings from Masset. Yet much to my dismay, I have not received said package. I hope they make Cardigan pants because that honestly would solve your anti-pants stance.

ImageHi. My name is Sarah
and I live by the sea. I like pirates and vikings and my audio cassette tape player. I am 25 years old and pretty much covered in sand all the time. Also, I like cookies. My profile.

ImageHey Sarah, what are ye listening to?
Lots and lots o' stuff, like St. Germain's "So Flute" and "Ghosts" by Ladytron. I can't believe Robyn is out with new stuff and it doesn't make me want to show her love by jabbing rusted forks into my eyes. It's actually really catchy and kind of endearing. I have been looking up the songs from So You Think You Can Dance all year, too, because it's all awesome and at heart, I'm still a spandexed little dancer ready to punch Annie in the face and show Daddy Warbucks a thing or two about tap musicals.

    • ImageI'M READING:
    Walking Dead:

      Frigging awesome. One of the best books about the Zombocalypse I've ever read (one of the only good books about the Zombpocalypse I've ever read). I think there's something about zombies that is so hard to construe via text ... I mean, honestly, you can only use the word "purtrid" so much, and the visual, awesome aid of comics really helps.

    ImageI'M SEEING:
    Quarantine, a movie that's kind of the equivalent to being on the Disney spinning teacup ride, except, also, there are RABID ZOMBIES ON BOARD. Honestly, I missed quite a bit of this movie because I spent a good portion of it with my head nestled into my boyfriend's armpit attempting not to vomit. The camera movement is, at times, insanely choppy and all over the place, and those of you prone to motion sickness, you might want to skip this one. I'd give it about 2 1/2 stars out of 5, because it's decent -- I'd even watch it again if I could keep the room from spinning.

    ImageBOOK CLUB!:
    The Kite Runner. I love this book. It wasn't necessarily a book I'd choose to read (these days I appear to be more interested in books geared towards teenage girls.), but I'm so glad I did. Beautiful writing. Next choice... I'm going to volunteer the Bell Jar because IT'S THE BEST BOOK EVER.
