Pumpkin Love

My sister-in-law said “grab a pumpkin!!” as I walked into her house this evening. She had already begun carving a skeleton faced pumpkin.

I grabbed this pumpkin and we had a laugh.

I’m so in love with my new nephew.

Ohh Sebadoh

One of those bands that just brings me back. I’d obsessively listen to them again and again in high school. I saw them back in 98 but they had changed quite a bit by then (as most bands do). I much preferred their earlier lo-fi stuff. Here are what I remember them as in my High School days. Except “On Fire.” That came out when I was a freshman in college. Harmacy. Not one of my favorite albums, but certainly not one of the worst. There were a handful of great songs on the album…in particular I liked the lyrics.

*beating heart be still*

@Jeff- the attic shots in the Skull video reminds me of how our upstairs used to look at the Hamtramck house. Ha! Also, I wish I was home so I could post some pics of you with your longer hair. You looked just like Lou Barlow back in your college days. *pch!*

Umm…errr…

A man contacted me inquiring about a couple of my photos on exhibit right now. He wants to know how much I would sell them for so they can be in a couple American/Canadian magazines. He said they would be interested in owning them so they can use them anytime they want. The paranoid part of me pictured myself blindly agreeing only to later realize they were put in some smut magazine or something. Umm…no thanks.

The smart side of me wrote down his info and said she would get back with him.

Anyone have any idea on how to proceed? I’d love to make some extra money off some of my photos….but I don’t know about the whole magazine issue. Is it the same as selling a photo to someone to hang on their wall?

Der. I should have paid more attention to copyright in school.

Status

You know how you can give your status on Facebook or Twitter? Well….if I could give a status on my blog right NOW, it would say:

Sarah is feeling nauseated after drinking a grandé soy caramelatté from a certain coffeehouse in Royal Oak. She does not recommend it as a last ditch effort to stay awake into the wee hours of the morning for last minute midterm prep. She feels like she drank a grandé carsick latté with curdled milk.

Wowzah!

Hey there kids! I’ve got some new virtual digs. I feel it’s a lot cleaner and easier to look at. Yes, I DID just end that sentence with a preposition. The previous theme was just not cutting it for me anymore. Had to spice things up a bit.

Maybe it will even inspire me to start writing here again. *stop laughing*

Okay, I’m done nerding out.

ps. Maybe I’ll even begin tagging my posts again too. Not everything is “personal.”

Awesome Proposal (not mine)

This is something Jeff would have done….if he had thought of it first. ha ha! Seriously though……this video brought tears to my eyes. So sweet. You can’t beat the Sigur Ros soundtrack either. Ok….I’m going to watch it again and ball all over again. It’s THAT good. Enjoy!

Read about this guy’s proposal here.

Yay!

My mom won tickets to Regina Spektor’s show off the radio (93.9 The River) today. And guess who she’s taking? That’s right! Little old 29 year old me!

Thanks mom!!! You’re the coolest!
