Whee.

I've been pretty AWOL lately, but that's mainly only because I've been working so hard at fulfilling my dream of becoming the world's greatest female rapper. Any day now someone will recognize my talent, but until then, I've just been recording myself over tracks by Timbaland and DMX on my audio cassette tape player.

But, no, for reals, things have been crazy. My two best friends are now getting married three days apart, and I am going to have to rock both receptions verbally and physically with a little bit of my super awesome interpretive dance moves. I was thinking I might even take a page from "So You Think I Can Dance" by covering the wedding dance floor with leaves and soft lighting, and frolicking around, gently, before pausing and raising my arm up, and looking off into the distance, like I'm seeing something emotional, and touching, and beautiful... like Mariah Carey's Butterfly album.

I actually must go now and wipe off the stairs with a J cloth... my life is nothing if not glamourous, but I will try to update soon with more pictures, more stories, and more references to albums I used to listen to when I was an emotionally troubled 14 year old.

Because nothing describes my teenage pain more thoroughly than The Spice Girls Spice World soundtrack.

LATER ...

So I helped Sarah E make wedding favours. Everyone will know which ones I made because the papers will be cut crooked and the bags will look like they were tied by a five year old.

I also went back to my old cleaning job for the night, which was pretty exciting. It's weird how all the old habits fall back in place... collecting garbages, washing dishes, an inspiring impromptu musical made for one, cleaning toilets.

I am counting down the days to the weddings (Five days until Sarah's, three days until Melissa's!!) and also down to Wednesday when Jamie and Brad fly into town and we can all have multiple adventures involving numerous high fives and a bevy of freeze frames.

In the meantime, I'm taking it Sleazy Beazy's, and rediscovering all of the crap I left behind in Thunder Bay when I moved last year .... including a ton of Home and Garden magazines whose purpose I cannot even begin to fathom. I'm beginning to suspect I have a multiple personality disorder, which might explain why I've highlighted certain passages in the magazine that spoke of fertilizer importance, or the magnetic photo album I found full of obituaries and... pictures of porcelain dolls, or my entire high school career.

Miss your multi-weekly posts of yesteryear. So much to do, so little time to blog, I guess . . .

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.
