Love, Sara

last night esme and i had the ultimate after breakup friendship slumber party... who needs boyfriends when you have best friends!! we went to clementine and then HEB with matt and got junk food and Fake stick on scars and a mustache. matt gave me his hatt and i was wearing my big glasses and the mustache and we took pictures and decided it would be my alter ego coronel mustard..because he's from CLUE my fav movie that i saw all of ten mins of before i fell asleep..i also got this really awesome squishy ball with body parts and worms inside and this red liquid that looks like blood.

I slept in until 10:30 this morning, I also hit my face on the windowsill in the middle of the night and wondered if I would wake up with a black eye this morning.

I didn't!

I did have a really awesome brunch at blue dahlia... with christina matt and esme..and a mimosa. Then Esme and I went to Domy Books... that place is so cool... everytime I go there I am inspired to come home and draw and paint and make things. I talked to the guy working there and he said if i bring in a condensed version like a book or zine of my stuff he would consider selling it.. that is going to be my project this week. I also thought about taking the book Hart and I made over there... I think I only have like ten copies left, but I talked to Hart yesterday about the mask I made with his dad's quote on it and he said he was glad that it is being put out there in the world.

We went to progress for coffees and then Blue Velvet and Room Service.. I got this awesome blue suitcase with a BIG BLACK UNICORN on the outside.. the inside is like peach silk, and Jennifer offered me twenty percent off cause the lining is a little ripped in one spot..I also got the most awesome bad company tank top it is thin and blue and big and has a dog on it.. and a black John Lennon shirt.. because duh john lennon is my ultimate crush... oh yes and a big 80's hair bow.. I used to love them as a kid. I always had big crazy bows and I remember my favorite outfit was my crushed velvet long sleeved shirt that was sheer from the waist down with flowers all over it, and leggings. my mom always let me dress myself..

I also got a brigitte bardot matchbook because im pretty much obsessed with her.

soo... after having total buyers remorse and being the true shopping addict that i am.. I went and bought some more things at Room Service... some black ankle boots that fold over and fit like a glove :) Black Boots is what I was on a mission for today, and i wasn't supposed to buy anything else.. I also got some awesome dansk black fishnets with lines down the back and a little plate of a man inside of a box that says "PEOPLE ARE NO DAMN GOOD" i love it. but my FAVORITE buy today was a poster about "Tobacco and other habit forming drugs" it has indian subtitles and shows this dude doing all kinds of drugs...I also saw this big canvas of a jamaican guy smoking weed, but I decided I would try and paint my own by looking at the postcards I got in Jamaica.

I am also punishing myself for all of this shopping by not going out and gathering all the clothes I don't wear to try and sell..

Oh yeah and I'm going to San Francisco the thirteenth..so excited to leave town, I think I just need some refreshing...there is nothing like leaving town and then coming back home feeling like you missed the place you live. Last year when I went to New York I felt really good coming back to Austin, I was excited to be back home..

Luv Sara

uhm p.s. i really wanna bone Dwight Twilley...

if someone asks this is where i'll be

looking around my room today- it is a mess. as usual, there are clothes and half finished projects everywhere. i feel kind of confined to this room because i have roommates. i can't wait to live alone. i want to be able to write my name all over the walls and sleep on the living room floor with my glasses on. i want to be able to wake up in the morning half naked and make tea in my kitchen. i also dont care if my home looks like a peacock threw up all over it, which i have had to tone down living with boys. i have to think twice about things being too girlie and wondering which lines i can cross..

the other night i got a little bit drunk... i had a friend over and knocked over a wine glass by my bed and it shattered and i didnt clean it up until the next night.. i mean who cleans up broken glass drunk? i dont. the point is i knew where not to step. i also knocked over a candle in the kitchen... broken glass all over the stove.. had to clean that up.. was drunk, not sure i did such a good job cause my roommate stepped in some the next day apparently. I, however, would have avoided that spot until the glass was picked up. mind you, all this broken glass business happened in one night... not really sure what im trying to say.. but mainly it is... if i lived alone i could avoid the broken glass, but i have to consider others and sometimes you just dont have time for that, or if you are me you are really scatter brained and sometimes just forget things.

i want to come home at two in the morning and stumble around my living room and turn on all the lights and make a lot of noise.

im mostly just waiting to feel "at home" at my home.

shit, i have been complaining a lot this week. maybe i need a drink? maybe i need to break some glasses?

luv, sara

Who Would Believe What a Poor Set of Eyes Can Show You

i started making masks last night but they still haven't dried yet. theyre made out of paper mache and my favorite one has hearts for eyes. im calling the series "you are just like everybody else" mostly im making these because i feel lately i cant relate to anyone. erin i wish you were here so we could do a photo shoot with them. i have a polaroid and a digital camera so i will just do it myself. but you could do a much better job, when will you move here so we can work together again? jeanine that goes for you too.

luv sara

FUN FUN FUCKKK

I got in a car accident today. It sucks.
To make things better, I'm going to a Vietnamese Pho Bac Chucky Cheese place.
It's called Party Kingdom Bistro
and I wish you were there

Party Kingdom Bistro
Thai/Vietnamese, American
1739 Maybank Hwy.
James Island
(843) 795-5701
Prices: Inexpensive ($6-$9.50)
Serving: Lunch, Dinner, and Weekend Brunch

A giant pink octopus awaits your arrival at the Party Kingdom, as do a half-dozen Skee-Ball lanes, mazes of indoor playground equipment, various Taiwanese video consoles, an entire build-your-own-teddy-bear room complete with a 12-foot tall psychedelic-looking mushroom, and piles of candy rivaled only by the cheesy tourist shops lining the City Market. Indeed, it looks as if a giant Asian clown car careened off course, ran over an entire family of Hello Kitties, dragged them through an abandoned Showbiz Pizza Place, and exploded inside the Piggly Wiggly strip mall on Maybank Highway. Throngs of screaming toddlers scuttle underfoot, husbands battle electric terrorists with dual Uzis, and stoned college students — we predict — will soon descend, ogling the electronic flicker of pink video bunnies while munching on fried egg rolls and beef satay.

You could go for any of the dishes and be well served, even by the hotdogs, which could pass muster at The Joe, if they only had pickled okra and hot relish. But most people stop by to try the pho (pronounced fuh), steaming bowls of spicy Vietnamese broth full of tender beef brisket and slippery noodles, served with the requisite plate of Thai basil, bean sprouts, lime wedges, and hot chilies, yet deceptively obscured by the day-glo cacophony of family fun.

Pho may be the national dish of Vietnam, eaten by millions daily, and derived from a cross-cultural amalgamation of French, Chinese, Southeast Asian, and (here at least) American influences, but it hides in the corners of our town, often inside an Asian grocery or on the back page of a Thai menu.

Pho Bac tried to infiltrate the mainstream in Mt. Pleasant a couple of years ago only to pack up shop and move to North Chuck. Their bowls of pho display the deep, complex spiciness of a long-simmered broth, offering the full gamut of permutations including the pho dac biet, the house special that is the Vietnamese equivalent of the proverbial "refrigerator soup," if you happened to have some beef flank, brisket, tripe, and meatballs hanging around in the bottom drawer. Of course, one should always ask for extra beef tendon for full effect.

Down on Rivers Avenue, Pho No. 1 does a brisk business in the H&L Market, even if most people stop by the cash-only restaurant counter to buy whole crispy ducks smelling of anise, ginger, and cloves, heads still attached. On a good day, the "rare" beef won't be overcooked, and the broth will have the redolence of a Saigon market rather than the steamy scent of sweaty socks that leaves you wishing you had grabbed two ducks and run home with some spicy rice noodles, hoisin sauce, and a bottle of Gewürztraminer.

The perfect bowl, the kind that my Vietnamese neighbor Lang makes, squirms with fat noodles in a broth deeply flavored by beef bones and star anise, perhaps with a dash of Srirachi and a few torn sheaves of Thai basil. This kind of pho can be hard to find — which is why people are lining up at the Party Kingdom to farm their kids off to a Japanese whack-a-mole game painted in 15 shades of bright pink.

Lang often travels to China and Vietnam for months at a time, so you'll find us down at Party Kingdom, three-year-old in tow, glasses all steamed up, with a sloppy mess dribbling down our shirts and a big, five-spice smile on our faces. The menu has other stuff too: lemongrass beef skewers; gigantic spring rolls packed with shrimp, noodles, and fresh basil leaves; super-spicy piles of beef salad overflowing with ginger and fish sauce that coat the tendrils of meat; mountains of Pad Thai noodles bound by a sticky sweet peanut crunch, cut only by a cold squirt of lime. And the kids can scarf down pizza, or chicken tenders, or some other American fare, or perhaps branching out to the crispy coconut shrimp, my daughter's favorite.

For me it's all about the pho, but don't even think about asking for my Skee-Ball tickets. I'm trading them in on an AstroPop for dessert.

"you're never too old to become younger"- mae west

So i have been having this internal struggle with staying home, work, getting up early, drinking, not drinking, cleaning my room, not cleaning my room, kiss this boy, dont kiss that boy. I have taken on another day at work. mostly because i feel like well, i might as well.going out sometime isnt as fun anymore, but then i end up feeling like i live at work and before i know it im home and its already ten oclock by the time i eat dinner settle down and its almost time to go back to work. i love my job and i justify working so hard because i can hear my mom saying "shes young" i always think about that... how everyone who is older says "youre still young" . sometimes you just want to be content to relax and i just cant. and its going on and on and on and you feel like you dont have a second to just be and cant decide whether it feels good or if you feel like a machine. the other day my client asked me how old i was and i said 22 no im 23 no im 24 and for a second i couldnt remember my age. before you know it maybe youre just old. i just get so anxious when i feel like i have started some routine. i cant stick to routines. i made this mix cd the other night. it puts me in a good mood on the way to work. some of the songs are ones i loved when i was 16..some i just heard this year. when i was like 16 kacie played the red house painters katys song. i want to cover this song real bad, but i can only sing it so im trying to convince my roommate to learn the rest. here it is... enjoy
