Major Updates!!!

Well, it's official: Mike is moving in with me!! Considering most of his stuff has already moved in, it will be nice to have a warm body to go with it. Wait a minute! Giant Tunas are cold-blooded...hmmm, something isn't adding up here...

I got a new job too! At a cosmetic dermatologist's office doing admin/accounting. It is perfect for me and it going to rock something fierce!! It is only three days a week, will be conducive to coaching soccer again and has so many perks (did someone say Botox? No? Me either.)

Mike and I are going back to Costa Rica for 8 days!! There is no better BF than mine(no offense Annika)!! It will be the perfect kick off to our new life together!!

and...

Go Michael Phelps! I love Summer Olympics!!

I am REALLY digging this speedo - I think it would look good on another Michael as well (hint hint wink wink).

A Hippopotamus named Bresta examines a birthday gift Kiev's Zoo, Ukraine, on June 30. The animal, weighing 2,000 kilograms, celebrates its 50th birthday.

My friend, Nick, never fails to pass along a new hippo pic to yours truly. And I never fail to post it. However, this particular pic can only be truly enjoyed if I post Nick's commentary along with it. See below.

"PS - Named Bresta?! WTF? I love me some Brestas!"

Well, Nick, I now love me some Brestas too :) Thanks!!

OMG, Like Totally...

I have to blog about some totallty rockin' concerts in the last few weeks...you have read me mention this band before: VAMPIRE WEEKEND!!!

Met Craig and Suzie and Dads in Orlando for a bitchin show at Club Firestone. Brooklyn Shakes opened and they were kosher but Vampire Weekend rocked us out in a major way. They brought the musical ability as well as the cuteness and made me want to visit Cape Cod more than ever :) Oh (PS) I made eye contct with the drummer...ooh ooooh!! Heh.

To all parties involved, hope to do it again soon. To all parties not involved, next time fo' sho'!!!!!!!!!!

Tonight, I became fascinated by Bertrand Russell. I have been reading and following link after link for hours. I'm obsessed and I need someone to come over and take the computer away from me. Now please. His language is mesmerizing and thought processes unique. I find myself wanting to be like him. So far, I have found only two major differences between us. 1)He is a guy and I am a girl. 2)He is a thinker and I am a feeler. I wonder if two people who are different in seemingly only those two aspects could get along. Thoughts? Feelings? Get it? No? Moving on.

Favourite BR quotes thus far:

"The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time"
- which is why I've been link after linking

"Love is something far more than desire for sexual intercourse; it is the principal means of escape from the loneliness which afflicts most men and women throughout the greater part of their lives"
- not sure I understand this one fully BUT it is still good to know. Is this what all of those angst driven female songwriters of the 90s were singing about(intellectual intercourse)?

"Anything you're good at contributes to happiness"
-La la la la la laaaaaaaa (me singing) la la la

"Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric"
- It's not the cough that carries you off, it's the coffin they carry you off in.

Oh! 3)He's dead and I am alive. Three things.
Whatever, I'm going to bed now. Blurgity blurg blurg.

One of many awesome posts to come

Flogging Molly pounds and so do I :)

Mike and I drove north one fine weekend
To see a rockin' concert by our favourite band.
Jannus Landing was the venue, in downtown St Pete
And my friends, Craig and Suzie, we also did meet.

Early dinner of Thai food
put us all in a good mood
But when it was time to buy some tickets
Well, it wasn't looking so good.

A sold out show, no ticket for me
The scalpers wanted astronomical fees!!
Situation was dire, we headed to the bar
But we couldn't give up, we'd driven too far.

On the way to Independant, who did we see?
Flogging Molly members eating dinner of sushi...
I mustered some courage and snuck away from my friends
To approach the band and find a way in.

Nathan, the bass player, remembered me!
He signed my shoe two years ago (and I kissed him on the cheek)
After some banter, I asked in a fanatical way
"Is there any chance I can get in to see you play?!"

They gave me a hard time, telling me "No way"
But after I cried, they said "okay...okay!"
Is it just you, or do you need a plus one?
"Plus one" I exclaimed - OMG what have I done?!!

We all enjoyed the show, Mike and I moshed
And as much as we drank, we didn't get sloshed.
I hope you believe me, I swear I'm not lying
Oh, and for the record, I'm kidding about crying.

Another Overdue West Coast Vacation Post:
I have to blog these stories and pics to make room in the queue for more West Coast and Upper East Coast and International Travel vacations coming up...I may become an official jet-setter this year!

PORTLAND for one please - Feb 21, 2007

Took the Amtrak from Seattle to Portland. Very scenic. Ports. Mountains. Pacific Ocean. Train noises. I pulled into Union Station (is every train station named that?) and walked south to W Burnside Street.

This is me on the train. I was experimenting with my camera. Ironic considering these posted pics are last pics that camera ever took. Boo hoo :(

I settled into my hotel, Park Lane Suites, on King Ave. Just so we're clear, when I say 'settled' you know that means I ditched my stuff and left immediately right? K. I headed to what is called Northwest District on foot to meet up with Kaitlyn, my friend Tone's girlfriend, that I am also friends with. We met at Swagat Indian Cuisine where I devoured the following:

Whoever can accurately guess everything on the plate will receive one kiss on the cheek and some shoulder shakes from me.

This sculpture is one of the coolest I have ever seen. The only thing that would make it better is if it were some Hippos. Duh.

Kaitlyn and I on the Portland Streetcar!!! The guy who took this went a little crazy with the zoom feature. Sorry about that. Streetcar = free fun.

That was THE LAST picture my camera took. It made some sad little noises and then never worked again. I have yet to get a new one. It broke over a year ago! I am a slacker blogger for sure.

Anyways, we had dinner at Pastini's which was across the Willamette River and then I tried to get a piercing but we were five minutes late and the place was closed. Kaitlyn dropped me off at Crystal Ballroom where I rocked out to The Shins for the second night in a row (and third time in two days). Heather, the chick I sold my extra ticket to, gave me a ride back to my hotel because it was raining. She told me about her son named Espn (pronounced Espen). I'm not joking. Her husband is a sports fanatic and they named their child accordingly. Normally they would be subject to far more ridicule and scrutiny from me but, alas, they are Shins fans and we don't dis each other.

Slept, woke up, breakfast at a bagel shop and the Red Line to PDX. Short flight to Vegas and that is another blog post pending...

Costa Rica Vacation

First of all, I have to thank my totally awesome crazy ass boyfriend for the idea and execution of this vacation. It was perfect, everything was perfect!

Feb 14th: We landed in San Jose and took the winding, cliff side roads to Manual Antonio. We stopped briefly in Jaco to get lunch at Taco Bar and to rent a surf board...Taco Bar is the shit. Once in Manual Antonio, we immediately checked in to the very gay friendly Hotel Del Mar and couldn't resist a dip in the Pacific before the most amazing and romantic Valentine's Day evening in the history of the world at La Mariposa. I will sum it up like this: hilariously poignant valentine card, the most fantasmigorical views I've ever seen, pink red and white fireworks BELOW us (yes, that is how high up we were), five course meal with champagne and wine and great chats. PS - my dinner date was really cute.

Day 2 - Manuel Antonio Beach ALL DAY. Surfing, exploring cliffs, the freshest ceviche and calamari ever, happy hour and sunset at El Avion featuring my new favourite beer, BAVARIA LIGHT. El Avion was so cool. Check it out, seriously. Then, more drinks at a beach side bar where I was force fed a black olive because 'someone' thought I would be too drunk to taste it. WRONG.

Day 3 - Zip line tour through the rainforest's canopy = so much fun! I got running starts to go faster, hung upside down and was called Sarita all day. Loved it. Made some new friends from New York and Toronto. What's up Jen?! Midday, we headed to Playa Hermosa...which, not surprisingly, was also beautiful and awesome. We checked in to Villas de Arenas, traded the surf board, saw some sights and had a delicious Argentinian Steakhouse dinner (I had fish).

Day 4 - early morning surfing and swimming & KICK ASS breakfast next door: Pineapple smoothie, fantastic coffee, juevos rancheros, french toast and gallo pinto...so yum. To digest, we did some off roading in the rental car to an alleged river mouth surf spot. Didn't exactly find it. Then, more surfing and body boarding in Jaco, more brews for happy hour and more Taco Bar :) Back to Playa Hermosa and the hotel for ping pong and an early bed time...

Last day :( - more surfing, more food, more fun...you get it...now GO!

Vacation tidbits I didn't mention but don't want to forget:

A hippo ate my belly button
Mike was my longboard
Caveman imitation on Valentine's
strategically placed athletic tape
dancing in the airport gift shop
crazy color coordinated gringa

Leap Years are both awesome and ANNOYING!

Julius Caesar invented leap year. So that means it is an ancient roman tradition which was handed down some generations and across Europe and eventually brought to the western hemisphere and the new world on big ships by Anglo-Saxon caucasian sailors from Spain. Blah blah blah...we could chat four years about the subject and I am sure there are those out there that do. I mean, February 29 is cool and everything, it was supposed to be the day I was born. However, I was two days late thanks to my ENFP-ness and now it means that every fours years I have to wait a painstakingly long extra day to celebrate the actual most awesome day of the year: MY BIRTHDAY :)

In case you are not a mathlete, I was born March 2, the greatest day ever.

Gourmet Dinner

So, I found out last night that my immediate family thinks my cooking sucks. SHA! It was a real blow. However, considering I just made the best dinner of all time, I will refute.

I can cook. It may be simple and it may be according to my blood type, but it's good. Whole wheat spaghetti with turkey meatballs, tofu fried brown rice, breakfast burritos featuring Ezekiel 4:19 tortillas, frozen organic pizza (425 degrees for 25 minutes)...I've made it all...how do you like me now?! But tonight was macaroni and cheese heaven.

Start with Annie's Homegrown Totally Natural Shells & White Cheddar Macaroni & Cheese (the original biotch!). Prepare according to box directions. Add one and one half tablespoons Tastefully Simple All Natural Dried Tomato & Garlic Pesto Mix and VIOLA! You can all thank me later.

AWESOME BAND ALERT!!!!

Vampire Weekend is on my radar for sure. I like them so much, I even listen to them mid-week, I'm crazy like that. The video I have chosen to show you is one of many on youtube. I am posting it here for the following reasons:

1. It's Letterman dope.
2. They are adorable.
3. The lead singer looks like my Uncle Paul circa 1980-86.
4. Singing along is superfun.
5. I'm studying the drum part with Punisher-like intensity.

I also recently learned that Vampire Weekend opened up for The Shins on five European tour dates. I now have a love/hate relationship with anyone who went to one of those shows. Mosty love though, that's just how I roll.

Sarah out.

Costa Rica de vacaciones!!!

En primer lugar, tengo que agradecer a mi culo totalmente impresionante loco novio de la idea y la ejecución de la presente vacaciones. Fue perfecto, todo fue perfecto!

Nos aterrizó en San José y tomó el bobinado, acantilado carreteras en Manual Antonio. Nos detuvimos brevemente en Jaco para conseguir Taco Bar y una junta de surf...Taco Bar es la mierda. Una vez en el Manual Antonio, y de inmediato verificó en no pudo resistir un baño en el Pacífico antes de la más asombrosa y romántica velada del Día de San Valentín. Voy a resumir hasta como esto: hilarantes cartas, las más impresionantes vistas que he visto nunca, la rosa roja y blanca de fuegos artificiales ABAJO nosotros (sí, así es como fuimos muy arriba), cinco platos con vino y champán y gran chats . PS - mi fecha de la cena fue muy lindo.

Día 2 - Manuel Antonio Beach ALL DAY. Deportes, el estudio de los acantilados, el ceviche y calamares frescos nunca, happy hour y la puesta del sol en El Avion con mi nuevo favorito de la cerveza, BAVARIA LUZ. El Avion fue tan fresco. Compruébelo usted mismo, en serio. Más bebidas en un bar al lado de la playa donde se alimenta la fuerza de oliva un negro porque 'alguien' pensé que sería demasiado borracho a gusto. EQUIVOCADO.

Día 3 - zip line tour por la selva dosel = tan divertido! Tengo corriendo empieza a ir más rápido, colgaron cabeza abajo y se llamaba Sarita todo el día. Encantó. Made amigos de Nueva York y Toronto. ¿Qué está pasando Jen?! Sacado del hotel y se dirigieron a Playa Hermosa ...que, no sorprendentemente, fue también impresionante y hermosa. Estamos negocian la junta de surf y había una deliciosa cena argentina donde la Steakhouse.

Día 4 - temprano en la mañana el surf y la natación & KICK ASS desayuno al lado: smoothie de piña, el buen café, juevos rancheros, francés tostado y frijoles y el arroz ... para yum. Off roading en el coche de alquiler a las presuntas río boca spot de surf, el surf y el cuerpo más de embarque en Jaco, más cerveza para la hora feliz y más Taco Bar:) Volver a la Playa Hermosa de ping pong y una pronta cama tiempo...

Último día :( - más surf, más alimentos, más divertido ... se obtiene ahora ... GO!

Cositas de mis recuerdos más de su ocio:

Un hipopótamo comió mi ombligo
Mike era mi longboard
Caveman imitación de San Valentín
Estratégicamente colocado cinta de atletismo
Baile en el aeropuerto tienda de regalos
Color coordinado gringa loca

Totally bitchin' weekends worth mentioning

This past weekend was Gasparilla. Drunkards, Wenches, Pirates and Land-Lubbers galore...it was quite the spectacle. And for once, I was not quite the spectacle. Then Busch Gardens on Sunday: we rode EVERY coaster at least twice and sometimes, three times. A salad fork.

Weekend of the 19th. Business dinner that turned into a drunken poker fest. I won big. Who was it that said I had no poker face? Well, I do and it looks like this, :)

Weekend of the 5th. Football and Fultons = great time. Jones sodas at every Seahawks score. The Cider House (?) bar. Drumming for hours.

Weekend of Dec 29th. Partying at a South Beach outdoor pool bar chickee thing with some awesome friends: Jimmy, Vanessa and Champagne. Got asked to wear MK's varsity jacket. I immediately put it on over my party dress.

Weekend of Dec 15. Frat House Partying at FIT. Fun road trip. Frat house Olympics Commenced.

I could elaborate but I sensed your boredom.

THE FOUR AGREEMENTS

BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD

Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean.

DON'T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY

Nothing others do is because of you. What others
say and do is a projection of their own reality.

DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS

Find the courage to ask questions and to express
what you really want. Communicate with others as
clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings and
drama.

ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST

Your best is going to change from moment to moment;
it will be different when you are healthy as
opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do
your best!.

>>The above is research for the survival guide. I
struggle with only one of these four agreements.
How about you?

AO 08

So the Australian Open has begun. As if I need another sport to follow! Soccer, hockey and, yes, football has been consuming what little free time I have these days. Sigh, guess I'll have to fit watching and playing tennis in there now too (secret WOO HOO!!!!)

I am reminded of a fun game I play. It is exactly like Marco-Polo in every way except instead of yelling 'MARCO' I yell 'ROGER' and instead of 'POLO' I yell 'FEDERER'

Let's play.

Another new fav.

And I say: "Thank Yea!"

2008-01-09T18:03:00.000-08:00

Because some consider me a wealth of knowledge...

FACT: In the 1400s a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have "the rule of thumb".

FACT: In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase "goodnight, sleep tight".

FACT: It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after a wedding, the bride's father would supply his new son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon.

FACT: In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts... So in old England, when customers got unruly, to settle them the bartender would yell, "Mind your pints and quarts!" It's where we get the phrase "mind your P's and Q's".

FACT: Many years ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim or handle of their ceramic mugs. When they needed a refill, they used the whistle to get some service. "Wet your whistle" is the phrase inspired by this practice.

...I'm trying to live up to the reputation.

That's Just What You Are

In our endeavor we are never seeing eye to eye
No guts to sever so forever may we wave good-bye
And you're always telling me that it's my turn to move
When I wonder what could make the needle jump the groove

I won't fall for the oldest trick in the book
So don't sit there and think you're off of the hook
By saying there is no use changing
'Cause that's just what you are
That's just what you are

Acting steady always ready to defend your fears
What's the matter with the truth did I offend your ears
By suggesting that a change might be a thing to try
Like it would kill you just to try and be a nicer guy

It's not like you would lose some critical piece
If somehow you moved point A to point B
Maintaining there is no point changing
'Cause that's just what you are
That's just what you are

Now I could talk to you 'til I'm blue in the face
But we still would arrive at the very same place
With you running around and me out of the race

So maybe you're right nobody can take
Something older than time and hope you could make
It better that would be a mistake

So take it just so far
'Cause that's just what you are
That's just what you are
That's just what you are

You're like a sleepwalking man
It's a danger to wake you
Even when it is apparent
Where your actions will take you
And that's just what you are
And that's just what you are...

Coaching

I just finished the painstaking task of selecting my competitive soccer team. I am happy with the decisions. Some girls couldn't care less whether they made the team or not and I thank them for making the task easier. Some of the girls will cry when they see the list. Some girls have informed me that if they don't make the team, they will be "a total bitch to me" to which I replied "Bring it girlies!" to which they replied "Oh, it's already been brought'n!"

It was kinda like picking a fantasy football team except it is actual middle school girls and it's soccer.

Wish us luck!

Although, I happen to know some of you skip the workout all together (TOS and Mike K). Heh.

Saving Lives, no big deal

Johns Hopkins University has sent out warnings in its newsletter suggesting that dioxins found in everyday plastics can cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are released from the plastics when the plastic is subjected to extreme heat or cold so, JHU advises:

1. No plastic containers in microwave.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

We should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. High heat in combination with fat releases dioxins from the plastic into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, use glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. So such things as frozen dinners, instant ramen noodles and soups should be removed from the container they came in and heated in something else.

Some of the fast food restaurants have moved away from the foam and plastic containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons. Also, plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is irradiated, the high heat causes toxins to melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

SPIN December 2007

This month's SPIN is the best I have ever read! If you don't subscribe or have zero interest in actually reading it...here is the Cliff's Notes version.

Win Butler (of Arcade Fire) and Springsteen (no first name necessary) are simultaneously interviewed regarding both career and personal lives. They discuss influences, current music interests (The Boss listens to Rhianna!), their latest albums, popularity struggles and as the mag states 'the early days, the glory days, and the end of days.' Such good reading.

Major takeaway for me is Win's choice of gift to Bruce, a trio of three books:
Why I Write by George Orwell
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder
All of which I hope to pick up by week's end.

Also in the issue:
Beth Ditto interview
Maynard James Keenan interview (!)
Radiohead album/new business model review
Awesome Holiday gift guide (hint hint)
Shia LaBeouf's musical taste/latest project (more interesting than you might think)
15 Songs You Need to Download NOW!!!!
Concert pictorial featuring
The Go! Team
The Hives
Crystal Castles

So, hope this inspires you to buy/subscribe. If not, borrow my copy because this is a must read. Peace.

I heart Trent Reznor

Dear Mr. Reznor,

I heart you for a lot of reasons. Your musical ability and level of creativity is limitless and off the heazy. Your collaborations (thus far) cross genre lines and have defined albums and artists. Your opinions and world views should make any politician or activist envious. But most recently, Trent, I heart you for this quote:

"I do actually believe in love. I can't say that I am 100
percent successful in that department, but I think it's one
of the few worthwhile human experiences. It's cooler than
anything I can think of right now."

Awesome, simply awesome. Thank you.

Love,
Sarah

"Girl Sailor"

The gutter may profess its love,
Then follow it with hesitation,
But there are just so many of
You out there for rent

A stronger girl would shake this off in flight,
And never give it more than a frowning hour,
But you have let your heart decide,
Loss has conquered you,

You've won one too many fights,
Wearing many hats every time,
But you wont win here tonight,

You've made it through the direst of straits alright,
Can you help it if plain love now seems less interesting?
You haven't changed an ounce in my eyes,
And I cannot lecture you,

And does anything I say seem relevant at all?
You've been at the helm since you were just five,
While I cannot claim to be more than a passenger,

But, you've won one too many fights,
Wearing all of your clothes at the same time,
Let the good times end tonight,
Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her,
This time,

Just a moment or two from now,
Not a mind will retain even a trace,
Of the thoughts that I struggled to tell
And how our stack of cards just fell,

So settle this once and for all,
The light no longer shows the cracks around my door,
And I have no lantern to light your way home tonight,

You are not some saint who's above,
Giving someone a stroll through the flowers,
You've got so much more to dream of,
Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her,
This time,
This time,
This time.

House Sitting Wilderness Safari

That's right...I'm house sitting and dog sitting again. I don't really understand the concept of house sitting. Houses don't need to be sat, they can take care of themselves. However, it is probably a good thing that I am here. If I wasn't, how would anyone know if the flat screen was working properly. Or the jacuzzi. Or the washer and dryer (I am 5 loads and counting in the last 24 hrs). Or the elliptical machine. Or the bar. Or the pool and patio loungers. Yeah, it is a good thing I am here giving all of these things routine use and maintenance. This kind of job does not come without its share of danger and risk though, hence the title of the post...

First of all, spiders. They are everywhere (outside). All of them harmless, of course, as there are only five occurring poisonous spiders in FL: the southern black widow, northern black widow, red widow, brown widow and brown recluse. Nonetheless, I have been documenting the nocturnal activity of a ginormous and very colorful spider who routinely spins a web at dusk each night in between a tree and a lamppost on the edge of the property. This thing is big. And scary looking. The web could easily catch and contain a bat or a small bird (exaggeration). So far I have only see it get a giant moth and the other tiny bugs that flutter around lights at night. also around the house are spiny backed orb weavers, jumping spiders, long jawed orb spiders and wolf spiders. The pool cage is like a rainforest's canopy of spider webs. Blurg!

Second, a box turtle. Hank first discovered the turtle specimen. He was outside with me while I washed my car and he started barking, a lot. Hank doesn't usually bark any type of alarming, fast paced, high pitched excited bark, but he was. He was barking with his head down at something on the ground. I got scared thinking it was a snake about to strike (foreshadowing a later story - you like that?). I came around the bush to get a better look and it was a tiny box turtle scared and boxed in his shell. He was about the size of a gourmet half pound hamburger with a big sesame seed bun. I picked it up and brought it into the grass and waited for it to poke its head out. It did. You know what that means...a turtle head was poking out! That's so juvenile and hilarious. I have since seen the turtle twice more. Once in almost the exact same spot I originally saw him and once about 4 houses down in the mulch of some landscaping.

Third, an iguana, in a small palm tree right in front of the house. It was early evening. I was standing under/next to the tree and all of the sudden there was some loud rustling above my head. A two foot iguana was falling from the tree and hitting the frawns on its way down. It caught itself on the last possible frawn, right next to my head, before what would have been its five foot fall to the ground!! I screamed loud as it scurried back into the thicker foliage of the tree and ran away. I also ran away.

Fourth, a giant albino frog (the albino part was possibly because it was dead). It was on the golf course on the edge of the lake. It was pretty big, the size of my hand, but not moving. I got closer expecting it to move but it didn't. I got really close expecting it to move but it didn't. I poked it lightly with a stick expecting it to move but it didn't. I got another stick and picked it up and put it in the shallow water of the lake expecting it to move but it didn't. If it was dead, it had just died because it wasn't rigor mortis or petrified. If it wasn't dead, it is a very good actor and/or was an opossum in its former life.

Fifth, a poisonous venomous aggressive tiny snake that I tried to rescue that was stuck in the pool overflow reserve that I got scared of when it tried to attack me that I left there overnight hoping it would just drown that we eventually had to get the pool man to capture in a bucket and release outside and FAR AWAY. That little guy could not have been more that seven inches long but thought it was an anaconda or something. I didn't know snakes could suffer from Napoleon Complex (aka survival instincts I know).

Sixth, and most terrifying (cue cheesy Hitchcock suspense horror flick music),
TWO PUGS!!!!!!

My long anticipated, long delayed blog re: THE SHINS!!!
(and the Pacific Northwest and Vegas, part one)

Back in February, to celebrate a new job and before I actually started it, I decided to take a last minute trip, by myself, to see my favourite band, The Shins, two nights in a row in two different cities I have never been to. I know, I'm awesome.

I arrived in Seattle/Tacoma, WA airport at 1:23 pm on February 19. I took a cab to my hotel, Mediterranean Inn on Queen Anne in Queen Anne.

It was nice. They let me check in early which was even nicer. I immediately ditched my stuff and headed out to explore Seattle. I started out going north on Queen Anne and west on Mercer towards some water. I saw some cargo ships and rainy weather, nothing special. Then I went up 1st to Olympic where I saw this:

Isn't it so cute?! I want one just like it someday, except a hybrid.

I made it back to Mercer and headed east toward Seattle Center, where the Space Needle is and a monorail to Westlake, which I took after I called everyone I knew after I totally freaked the eff out after I saw this:

You know what this means right? It means I saw The Shins perform in Easy Street, up close and personal and almost got to meet them. I was going to ask them for a ride to Portland the next day to save on train fair but they had to dig out before anyone could talk to them. But everyone who showed up for the free show got a bitchin' poster with all of their signatures, which I promptly had custom framed with my first paycheck :) But I am getting ahead of myself...

After I was done wigging out, I continued to Seattle Center, saw the Space Needle, some really cool structure art and carnival games and rides. I fought the urge to ride all the rides and got on the monorail instead. I saw Westlake, bummed around and went back to Queen Anne and had dinner at Phukit, a Thai restaurant highly recommended by some dear Seattlite friends, Craig and Suzie. Thanks guys, it was delicious. Bedtime, day one over.

Day two: February 20. I had breakfast at Five Point, where almost everyone was still drunk from the night before, including the staff. The jukebox rocked!!

Then it was a walk to Olympic Sculpture Park where I finally trusted someone enough to give them my camera and have them take my picture with something cool.

I then took the waterfront streetcar to Seattle's most famous tourist attraction, Pike Place Market where they throw fish at Pike Place Fish Company and make the best crepes of all time at Crepe de France.

I signed the guestbook :)

After the market, I hauled ass back to Easy Street Records, watched the free show and then ducked into TS McHughe's for an afternoon drink. The beer selection was killer and I had a Black Velvet, a Snakebite and a glass of made in house Ginger Ale. It was pretty much the best Ginger Ale in the world. Maybe the universe. There were some cool dudes who were bragging about winning a trivia contest the night before. I asked them what some of the trivia questions were, they then posed them as questions to me which I answered no problem. They bought one of my drinks and invited me onto their team. I declined.

The taps and bottles.

The decor (my kind of place!!!)

I went back to my hotel to sleep it off before The Shins show at Paramount Theatre that night. Paramount is beautiful, so beautiful. Google it. The opening band was a husband and wife act called Viva Voce. He played drums, keyboard and harmonica and she shredded multiple guitars. They both sing too. Talented. During the kick arse concert, I met a brother and sister duo from Seattle, MaryEllen and Matt. We all became fast friends and they invited me for pizza after the show. We went to Capitol Hill for said pizza and then to Broadway Grill where I had an amazing ice cream brownie sundae.

They then gave me a ride back to my hotel...hospitable what?!!! Thanks guys :) Other than another night's sleep and a cab ride to the train station the next morning, that does it for my Seattle adventure. On to Portland...

Sarah's Spectrum of Stress (Relief)<

Well, two things. First, does anyone have a magical fall asleep fast idea for me? I already exercise regularly, I am sleeping between 8-9 hours a night so I am not getting too much sleep, I avoid caffeine in general but especially after 6pm, I am not under any kind of abnormal stress (just regular everyday stresses), OH WAIT!!! I HAVE been stressed lately due to the contents of a book I have been reading the last week or so...Never mind, problem solved. I will simply refrain from reading the book before bed. Also, in addition I have to sufficiently decompress my brain waves and emotions with happy thoughts about pink sparkly drum kits. Thanks for your input, btw, sigh of relief from this girl.

Second, and now related I suppose, I have been applying myself to learning new songs on drums. My new instrument of choice, drums feel more natural to me than any other instrument I have tried (with the exception of exceptional vocals). Maybe I am simple minded musically, maybe I lack finger dexterity, maybe it's cuz I'm flaky (typical drummer trait I have been told) but I LOVE PLAYING DRUMS.

I wish I'd have had the enthusiasm/applied my ability in the Leamy Hall basement 8 years ago :)

2007-09-24T09:15:00.000-07:00

Okay, it's truthiness time. Format: list.

1) Not blogging for the last year was a mistake. Now I have so much catching up to do and plan on doing it for the next 5 days.
2) One may not agree or disagree with said catching up posts but "You know what it is? It is what it is." Ugh.
3) I have not been the only lazy blogger (Hank, Matt Dana), so there.
4) I have been a bad friend to some and a great friend to others which makes me feel good and bad. I may or may not explain this.
5) The new music I will tell you about totally pounds and you will thank me!!
6) The vacations I have taken totally pound and you will be jealous of me!!
7) I am totally kidding about you being jealous, I'm not THAT concieted.
8) I did not spell 'conceited' correctly.
This list is over :(

Facebook is more addicting than MySpace because...

They have options for crazy-cool features like my very own banner which I will share with you people:

FB will also automatically change this banner on all websites that I have posted it if I make any changes to it. It also gives me way too much information about my 'friends' and shares TMI with them! It is so much easier to stalk people, find out where they live and scare the crap out of them!! I am so thankful these features have been added just in time for Halloween and the Holidays...

I have decided to enroll in the 'Self-defense untill you've killed or maimed your attacker' class at the YMCA. It is supposed to be for minors but I look 17.

PS - I'M BACK!!

2006-08-15T20:50:00.000-07:00

Copied and pasted 'cuz I'm lazy and wasted...

Jim and I went to Busch Gardens last week and I lost a flip flop on Sheikra. I didn't lose it during the course of the ride but in my excitement/that was AWESOME feet kicking after the ride had come to a complete stop. I had to buy new ones at the rip-off shop at the park and Jim said "Kyle would not tolerate this at all. Improper footwear at an amusement park...you are lucky he isn't here because he would have already left you behind."

Is that true? Darwinism at an amusement park? Survival of the fittest?

PS - the most we waited in any line for any ride was pi minutes. Woooooo!

PPS - I am also going to blog this story...eventually.

PPPS - I'm not really wasted.

Thanks for the pic Nick!

I went to the dentist two days ago and was such a good patient. I had less plaque than this little guy but my teeth are way smaller. Also, they gave me a pink toothbrush and the bristles are not made of steel cable.

What should I name this dude? Ugh...so cute :)

I am Financial MYTHBOT today...so, 001101010010011!!

Myth: Hotel Bibles often have $100 bills tucked into them.

Heard the one that Gideons leave $100 bills in their hotel Bibles to reward folks who turn to the Good Book?

A woman rejoiced when she actually discovered such a treasure during her honeymoon -- and found out a few hours later that her new husband was pretending to be God. The only thing Gideons leave behind is the book.

Myth: You can make a pile of dough by helping a foreigner solve his money problems.

"Hello, my name is unpronounceable, and I need to get money out of my country. Will you let me use your bank account?" is the gist of this e-mail plea.

It's called the Nigerian bank scam, and it's among the favorites. The back-story changes constantly to reflect current events. Expect a new variation every time a foreign leader dies or is deposed. Presently, Yassar Arafat's widow is supposedly seeking help moving his secret bank account out of enemy hands, and the sergeant who found Saddam Hussein's hidden gold wants help keeping it out of insurgent hands.

Myth: Boycotting a few gasoline brands brings gas prices down.

Its easy-to-understand language makes the plea plausible. The trouble lies in the fact it's too simple -- and economics don't work that way. For starters, gasoline is what's known as a fungible commodity -- if one company has an oversupply, it sells it to a competitor. No matter who you buy from, the basic supply numbers remain the same.

Furthermore, prices at all the nonboycotted outlets would rise, thanks to the temporarily limited supply and increased demand, making the original prices look cheap by comparison, according to Snopes.com.

Besides, the industry is too large for a boycott of two companies to make a dent.

Pooey, I really wanted the last one to be true. I personally participate in a particular gas company boycott and now I know that my efforts of the last 9 years have been in vain. I will continue the boycott on matters of principal. WHO'S WITH ME?! 0010011!!!

HPV is only 'proven cause' of cervical cancer

Keyword: proven. Researchers have been unable to determine if cervical cancer can be caused by genetics or lifestyle habits such as drinking, smoking or number of children. But considering that 99.7% of the new cases of cervical cancer discovered each year (and a butt load of other bad stuff) can be attributed to HPV, I hope the ACIP gives the go ahead.

So, to all my BFFs, read this.

Oh and I also thought of a slogan for whatever organization will head the campaign to get women vaccinated. Goes a little somethin' like:

"Hey Ladies, drop your current prick and come get one from us." ~Brought to you by the _________________.

6 and 6 and 6...Oh MY!!

So, for the last two days, I've had an abominable belly ache that I was certain the devil (or KFC) had sent to warn me of the apocolypse that extreme pessimists and wacko theologians have been 'predicting' would happen today. Since I am still alive to post this and you are still alive to read it, I am NOW convinced my tummy trouble was not sent from the fiery underworld, I just needed some toilet time and this homemade e-card from my b/f.

I am all better now :)

I love nature and gators and I can prove it. Look for my love of the Everglades on National TV very soon. Tape it...or just order the DVDs at the end of the series. Any questions? Ask me, I know the answer or can easily ask the experts I will be interviewing. Thank you in advance for watching and thank you now for reading this. Whatever you do, do NOT touch the gator on the screen...that rubber band ended up to be VERY weak.

Scary Sarahs!!! I love this pic...we both look better than usual :) Ahhh...my old South Beach apartment...so many memories...I love most of them. I love this memory anyway. When was it again?

2006-05-25T18:58:00.000-07:00

I MISS YOU COCO!!! I always see the world through glasses this color. Is there a cure for that? If there is, I'd like to have it please...

About the Prez: "The greatest thing about this man is he's steady. You know where he stands. He believes the same thing Wednesday that he believed on Monday, no matter what happened Tuesday. Events can change; this man's beliefs never will."

Watch the video while reading the transcript. Make sure you go to the bathroom first.

I don't think ol' GW gets any of the jokes and even though Mrs. Bush gets them, she doesn't laugh much. Go figure.

For clarification purposes...

A while back (mid March), Jim mentioned in his blog that I went to my first movie audition. Well, he wasn't lying. I actually got a part playing a 17-year-old pop star named Evelyn. My part begins filming this weekend and I need you all to wish me luck!!! You know, all five of you that read this blog :) And when I type 'five' I'm being extremely optimistic.

2006-05-01T12:17:00.000-07:00

This is the design for the t-shirts and posters that will promote the movie.

That is my character, Evelyn. She is not what she seems.

The t-shirts are going to be black.

My First Studio Session...was over the past weekend. It was long overdue and everything I always hoped it would be! Professional setting, expensive equiptment, great acoustics, instant playback and comms through a glass partition and earphones. Awesome!!!

It was my first collaboration with my brother, Joe. He is a music producer/sound engineer in North Miami Beach. We had the weekend to write a pop song for a movie that I am going to be in. My character, Evelyn, needed a song that is heard in parts of the movie. Evelyn has 5 scenes, six lines, a magazine cover and a song. Woo woo!

Anyway, the song is awesome. Definitely young, hip and poppy and South Beach club scene ready...(yes, that is a good thing). We have other songs in the que for the movie soundtrack and I'll let you know when you can order it :) Tee hee.

2006-04-26T09:21:00.000-07:00

Pleasantly Surprised...

A couple of weekends ago, in Orlando, in an effort to relax, escape the Florida heat and kill time before heading to the airport, Jims and I decided to see a movie. Hoping to see 'Thank You For Smoking' we call and realize that the only movie our time budget will allow is 'Ice Age 2: The Meltdown' and we are going to be 10 minutes late. I am not thrilled. Having boycotted the first 'Ice Age' movie because Ray Ramano and John Leguizamo's voices are like nails on a chalkboard, I was extremely reluctant. Also, it has been my belief that movies should be more than just mindless droning to an audience of kindergardeners and their parents. Movies should have a soul, touch people and evoke emotions, be thought provoking, have deep philosophical meaning and/or subtitles. I no longer feel that way.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I laughed, how involved I became and how great it feels to be five years old watching cartoons. Although animated, I found myself identifying with them and being a cheerleader for their aspirations and goals. Plus, my ears didn't bleed when the characters spoke.

Other movies that I saw where I went in a skeptic and came out a beleiver:
40-year-old Virgin
Wedding Crashers
Super Troopers
The Incredibles

I am no longer an uptight movie snob. Thank you Pixar!

You've convinced me this will be fun

This blog will serve as a medium for people who want to know more about me and will probably end up knowing too much. At that point, I will delete the entire blog so get it while you can people. I will be posting poetry, pictures, Thoughts of the Day, questions, accomplishments, observations, revelations, music interests, movie reviews, shout outs, funny stories and other deeply personal info. If you are reading this, you are my friend or relative or you find me interesting or you found me on accident or you have some degree of separation, "Hi!" If you are none of these things, quit reading you nosey bastard! Heh heh, kidding. Enjoy!

The people responsible for this blog are author Sarah Syring and inspirational bloggers James Cooley, Matt Dana, Kyle Lesniak and Hankdog. I personally thank you all. However, the rest of the world is undecided.
