Home.


jamie, almost home!, originally uploaded by sarah the pirate.

Jamie and I are back from our mini trip to Victoria! We explored the city on foot, backpacking our way through the tourist district and beyond. (We got lost.)

It's nice to reconnect myself with the ocean air every now and again. Nothing beats the roll of the waves and that great expanse of blue. More pictures to come, along with some video Jamie took during the trip.

Highlight of the trip? I was felt up by a Vietnamese woman who kept saying, "LADY... TAKE OFF YOUR PANTS." Honestly, I think her and I shared a moment.

SYLVIA PLATH KNOWS ME. INSIDE.

"...I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out.

I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet." - Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar, Chapter 7

ImageHi. My name is Sarah
and I live by the sea. I like pirates and vikings and my audio cassette tape player. I am 24 years old and pretty much covered in sand all the time. This is my website. It likes long walks on the beach, people who know the lyrics to CCR songs and the word "flummoxed".To learn more news of marginal excitement, go here.

ImageHey Sarah, what are ye listening to?
"Dead Bodies" by Air, from the Virgin Suicides. There is a spastic sense of drama, horror and urgency to this song ... just fantastic. I am almost always listening to a little bit of Ani DiFranco, and "Origami" and "32 Flavors" are still my favourites. June always makes me want to break out the old skool Lisa Loeb, especially "Sandalwood". And my the Sovereign Family Musical Anthem: PING ISLAND LIGHTNING STRIKE RESCUE OP! From the Life Aquatic soundtrack.

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.
