Goodbye Islands




In June I left the QCI by ferry for pale, lazy, wedding-filled summer adventures. I eagle-eyed the choppy ocean waters for dolphins and orca whales, and managed to see Something. It kind of looked like a lump arching underneath the waves, but I'm pretty sure it was like, a giant man-eating squid and we all just barely escaped with our lives. Like, positive.

This afternoon I'm on a quest for a corset, so that I can keep the Girls in check while wearing Sarah E's strapless bridesmaid gown. We all got to pick our own styles and I chose a bare shoulder cut with material around my arms, since I'm apparently waging a seemingly endless battle with them and they need to be hidden by as much available material as possible. Unfortunately, having giant bra straps hanging out doesn't necessarily equate to classyness. And I'm the kind of girl who jogs pantsless down the beach on a dare, so I know a thing or two about class.

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.
