A Fashionable Affair

As promised here is another blog on Fashion and the Fashionable. Today we're going to look at clothing for women, particularly dresses and swim suits. Partially because the trends hardly ever change for men and partially because I am a woman.

First up on women's fashion is this "classic" knit dress by Mark Fast. I'm not sure what the classic part means. Mr. Fast, I would just like to say has not created anything spectacular with this piece, at least in this blogger's opinion. I could also make something like this, being a knitter. It would take time and the materials, but would roughly cost you $30 to $40. That would cover the materials used and, unless I charged you by the hour, my time spent making it. This piece will cost you £1,285.00. That is how much it would cost you in Euros, in United States Dollars (USD) it will cost you more, because the dollar isn't exactly up right now. Total cost in US currency is $1,572.05.


Next up we have a beautiful bathing suit (as Summer has finally arrived). I don't know who designed it, but I think it is one of the most beautiful pieces I've seen. I especially like the side piece connecting the top and bottom. As far as swimsuits go this is my favorite. If you know who designed this particular piece feel free to leave me a comment.


Also in fashion right now is this lovely piece that people are calling a "suspender vest". I actually am looking into making one for myself. I've been seeing a lot of girls wearing this around where I live. I love the simple cut of it and how it accentuates the bust line. I also love the blouse that they chose to pair this with. It looks perfect for the office or a night out with friends. Plus it can be paired with either a nice pair of slacks or a pencil skirt.


This is one of my favorite dresses. I love the neckline, I like the hemming and I love the particular shade that they chose for it. I love the length, though I personally wouldn't wear it that short(I'm self-conscious) and I love the way it hangs on the mannequin. Mini dresses are in this season and they are quite cute, in my opinion.


Up next is a black dress by Carla Zampatti. This is another of my favorite dresses, not just because it is black, but because of the simplicity. If you haven't noticed by now, I love simplicity in my clothing and shoes. The ruffles at the top serve to accentuate the simplicity of the rest of the dress, but still add a decent amount of flair to the piece. I'm not quite sure if this is an A-line or an Empire waisted dress because of the model's stance, but it is lovely nonetheless. I would prefer this dress to the fabled "little black dress".


This next picture is of another bathing suit. This particular bathing suit is a Julisha Cut Out Bathing suit. Firstly, I hate the color scheme. It is too loud and the colors do not match well. Secondly, I don't like the way it is designed. It appears to be too complex to even attempt to put on, let alone be comfortable in. This type of swimsuit is bound to bunch up on you if you try to lay on your stomach and provide some very unappealing tan lines if you lie on your back. And did I mention that I hate the color scheme?


Lastly, we have a Hervé Léger piece as worn by singer, Kelly Rowland. I love the designs that are found all over the front and sides of this particular dress. Especially the right side with the lace up pattern. It gives a great sense of a corset on the sides, while still keeping the flow of the rest of the dress. I also love the length of the sleeves. They fit perfectly with the short hem of the dress itself and keep everything balanced.


Look forward to more dresses, shoes, men's clothing, women's clothing and other such fashion trends in the next blog. ^^

Peace and Elbow Grease,

The Subtle Art of Fashion

I am always the first person to admit that I am NOT fashionable. Not in any way, shape or form. I don't like dresses, I abhor shoes and I detest being confined to what is in and what is out. However, this doesn't mean that I don't like things that ARE fashionable. I love looking at beautiful clothes and shoes. I like knowing what is in fashion and what isn't. I like watching the trends while I do my own thing.

Anyway, this is a blog about different things going on in the fashion world. Some of them are strange, some gorgeous and some just what the fuck? Some of them I even like! So let's begin the tour shall we?

For this particular blog let's start with Shoes. Shoes are the bane of my existence. I love being barefoot. Though, admittedly I love the way some shoes look. I also like the way my feet look in some shoes. I think if I had smaller feet I'd like them better. Unfortunately, for myself, I have size 11 feet (10 in men's) and they just don't make enough cute shoes for my size.

2010 is definitely the year for new and innovative shoes. I'm pretty sure that Lady Gaga has helped with this as the shoes she often wears in her videos are very strange and painful looking. And as I'm sure most people know fashion trends often follow celebrity.

The first picture I would like to show is of a shoe imitating a red rose. I think it is one of the most gorgeously designed shoes I've ever seen. I love roses, being one of my favorite flowers, and this particular shoe captures all the beauty of a rose with the simplicity of heels. The curves of the petals are especially beautiful. Delicate and simple, but they add a touch of class to this already classy shoe.


Next we have the Mink Shoe. This shoe is supposedly lined with genuine mink fur. I do not particularly like this shoe, completely putting aside the fact that it is lined with mink. It isn't a very well designed shoe, in my opinion. Also, the particular pairing of reptilian skin and mink fur does not seem very logical to me. Whilst both can create a beautiful piece of fashion, I do not think that the two together is a good combination. Also, the reptilian pattern changes in four different instances, making the unevenness unappealing to say the least.
Follow the link to see where the fur comes from: http://wildlifemysteries.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/american-mink2.jpg


Next on our list of shoes is the Manolo Blahnik Pepe Sandal. I prefer the closed toe version of these sandals, but was unable to find a good picture of them. I must admit that Manolo Blahnik's shoes are beautiful. I really do like them. If I was into spending hundreds of dollars on shoes that will be out of fashion by the fall, I would buy his shoes. I think what I like about these particular shoes is the simplicity. These shoes don't have to be extravagant or crazy to be beautiful. They are simplistically classy and elegant all on their own.


This next shoe is just for shits and giggles as far as shoes go. Whilst it would definitely be a good anti-rape tool, it is also quite pretty if you look past the spikes. I am a fan of simplicity when it comes to shoes. The simpler the better. Often people think they have to have elaborate hair, costumes and shoes to be beautiful, but beauty is often found in simplicity. Such is the case with this shoe. Remove the spikes and you have a beautiful, simple, shoe.


Our next picture is of a shoe designed by Catherine Malandrino. I love the color of it, but not so much a fan of the heel. It is an interesting design and with the right outfit would kick some major ass, but personally speaking I wouldn't wear them. These would, however, offer more support than the average spiked heel.


Our last shoe for today is another Manolo Blahnik shoe. I do not know the exact name of this particular shoe, but love it. Well, except the point. I am not that big a fan of pointed toe shoes. I like rounded toe shoes, because it offers more comfort for the wearer. However, many women don't care and will go to great lengths to be fashionable. Such is the case with the pointed toe wonder that is this particular creation by Manolo Blahnik. I love the beading and the design on the shoe itself. It is a simple enough shoe, but the beading and various patterning really brings it out.


Well, that is all for now. I plan on posting some more on the topic of fashion relatively soon. Look forward to Wedding fashion, some more shoe fashion and other such fashionable things.

In the mean time,
Peace and Elbow Grease,
Sarai.

Fawny says:
* Lol.
* TBHQ... the side effects. They make me cringe.

Sarai says:
* I wonder why.

Fawny says:
* TBHQ is a preservative for vegetable oils and animal fats, limited to .02 percent of the oil in the nugget. One gram (one-thirtieth of an ounce) can cause "nausea, vomiting, ringing in the ears, delirium, a sense of suffocation, and collapse," according to “A Consumer’s Dictionary of Food Additives.”

I soooo don't want to put that in my body...

A Portrait of the Artist as a Flower

Humanity is a cannibalistic flower. We bloom, ever growing in this canopy of sky and sunshine. We devour ourselves, the bones of those before us, our brothers and sisters, our neighbors and friends. We are beautiful, colorful and chaotic. We are roses and dandelions, dancing and spinning through time and space.

Ever-changing and always the same. We are complex and simple in our complexities. We are a virgin and a whore, constantly moving from one body to the next in our hunger. This hunger is overwhelming, devouring us. In its wake we are transfixed by the greed and the need. We are sexuality and ritual, cannibals and whores. Flightless birds on a collision course.

We are a field of red. Red roses, red poppies, red paint dripping everywhere. Wars divide us, unite us. We stand alone, but stand together. We pick the flowers we like best and cut down the others, proclaiming them weeds. It is the same in every generation. We have our prejudices, our vices. We are purity and love, beauty and lust.

We are simplistic in our complex nature. Chaos mating simplicity and complexity in a ritualistic, cannibalistic and sexual frenzy. We try to escape, but there is no escaping the self. We find ourselves within the bodies of others, raping and killing, trying to find the truth in blood. In the end we are hacked down by the flowers behind us. Each of us weeping that it was not our time.

The Marilyn Monroe Blog

Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jean Mortensen in Los Angeles, California on June 1st, 1926. She died on August 5th (Donnie and My anniversary), 1962 at the age of 36. She was married to Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller at one point, a friend of Einstein and a lover of John F. Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy. Which may have been why she died.



Arthur Miller once said that Marilyn Monroe "was a poet on a street corner trying to recite to a crowd pulling at her clothes."

It literally hurts me when people say that Marilyn was a slut or a whore or stupid. When the exact opposite is true. Marilyn was very intelligent, interested in politics and loving. Admittedly, she had her faults, all of us do.



A red-head too. She was beautiful, even today she is still regarded as a sex goddess. But that is not what she wanted to be. She wanted to be a mother someday. She even said so herself.

"I have too many fantasies to be a housewife. I guess I am a fantasy."



"The thing I want more than anything else? I want to have children. I used to feel for every child I had, I would adopt another."

"Fame is fickle and I know it. It has its compensations, but it also has its drawbacks and I've experienced them both."



She loved Beethoven records and reading Tolstoy and Whitman. She took literature classes at UCLA and acting classes, because she was forever trying to be better. She was a human being who had addictions and trials. She had miscarriages and was increasingly drawn into the world of alcohol and drugs to cope. She was endlessly unhappy with herself and the world around her. The world that couldn't accept who she was.

A human being. A woman who just wanted to be loved.



This is to my beautiful Marilyn Monroe. A poem I wrote just for you. Sweetest dreams.

Marilyn Monroe
A mad poet, dancing through space. You scribbled venom, running from fate.
A wandering prophet, searching the deserts for a glimpse of God, only to find
sand.

A Goddess, you longed for mortality. Wishing for someone to love who you
were, not who you had been. All the while holding a world that loved only
your beauty, never looking within.

A gypsy forsaken by the music, surrounded by glittering diamonds, but they
weren’t your friends. Pursued by men who never cared or ever would, all
they ever wanted was between your legs.

A million sparkling pieces, exploding and shattering, will you ever stop
spinning out of control? Will you ever find what you crave? More fragile than
you appeared, you were stronger than they knew.

Norma Jean was lost, found in the coffin of Miss Marilyn Monroe. Was the
price of that last kiss worth your soul? Did they truly love Marilyn Monroe?
Were you still Norma Jean at the end of it all?

Now you are an icon, worshiped and idolized, but did they ever look into those
beautifully broken eyes? Beloved by a generation, one that never understood
the scars that lay just beneath the skin.

The Palm Reader

My friend, Kid, and I went to see a Palm Reader/Tarot Reader/Psychic yesterday. It was very amusing. Though, entirely TOO expensive for my tastes.

I don't know if I believe in that kind of thing, though I think it is fun to think about. I enjoyed it, at any rate.

We also went to an antiques store and two book stores. I love Book stores!! :D I will post a couple of picks from the antique store later on today.

Anyway, Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there. I hope it is a fantastic day for you. For those of you who are just normal people with no children or you are a girl, so this doesn't fit you, have a happy Day o' the Sun. :D

I will Scream.

This blog is about Twilight. I thought I had posted a blog about this topic before, but apparently not on here or anywhere else. Hmm. Anyway, the reason for this is because I am tired of people comparing Romeo and Juliet to Twilight. So here, is my little rant on that. Enjoy.

RANT

First of all Shakespeare was a literary GENIUS. He added thousands of words to the English language, created a story for almost every genre known to mankind and is still one of the most widely read authors of our time.

Secondly, Romeo and Juliet (being one of my favorite Shakespeare plays) is about love at first sight. Not meeting someone who breaks into your bedroom at night to watch you sleep and is always bringing up the fact that he can (and wants to) eat you. Also, Juliet has a life independent of Romeo. She is the daughter of a leader, she is supposed to marry someone else when she falls, tragically, in love with Romeo. There is a whole story besides Romeo and Juliet's love interest in one another.

Thirdly, whilst Romeo may show some signs of stalking (I can admit that he does go looking for her), it isn't out and out stalking. And they get married and then realize how flawed that plan was. In the end they kill themselves for love and everybody is better for it. If "Twilight" was anything like Romeo and Juliet, then Edward and Bella would die and the rest of us would feel much better and could continue on with our lives.

Unfortunately, Stephenie Meyer decides to go and ruin the entire Vampire genre with someone who sparkles and reads minds, but can't read Bella's mind at all (which is never explained) who is also bipolar and manic-depressive. Bram Stoker is turning in his grave as we speak. Then to add insult to injury she can't even keep his hair color straight. That's right, I went there. She says he has bronze hair one moment (which is brown and gold), red-brown the next and red-gold after that. None of those colors are alike except that two of them have brown and two of them have gold. There are other such cases through out the books where she incorrectly calls something one thing and then calls it another, sometimes in the same sentence.

So again, I would like to point out the following:

Vampires do not sparkle (I know they aren't real, but there is mythology that she could've researched and did not). I could understand if she gave some explanation as to why Edward is different, but she doesn't. EVER. He doesn't explain why he isn't burnt up in the sunlight or why he doesn't turn into a bat or anything else. I refer you to Christopher Pike's "Thirst No.1 and No.2" for reference on explaining what you are changing about the mythology and why.

It is not only breaking and entering to break into Bella's house every night for a month and watch her sleep, but it is also considered stalking.

Controlling where she goes and what she does is abuse. Making her feel guilty for feeling certain ways or doing certain things is abuse. Breaking her car so she can't leave is abuse. Abandoning her is abuse. Need I go on?

Romeo and Juliet was created by a literary Genius and Twilight was created by a lonely woman who wanted to create a fantasy for herself. And then wrote it very poorly.

My Stand on World Peace

My stand on World Peace if I were a contestant in the Miss America Competition. Note: I've only watched like 1 Miss America Competition, so forgive me if some of the details are off.

Let's pretend for a minute that I am Sarai (which I am) and I am Miss Random State. Now, as is often posed to Miss America candidates, I am asked a question about World Peace. The following is how I picture this going.

Question: Do you think that World Peace is possible and if so, how can it be accomplished?

Miss Random State: World Peace cannot be as long as Human Beings exist.

Question: Explain.

Miss Random State: Human beings are what holds us back from World Peace because of our inability to settle conflicts peacefully and live in harmony. We are constantly bickering with one another and hating those who are different from us. If there was no hate, no fighting, no war or conflicts, we could have peace. Unfortunately it is Human nature to have conflict, from the moment that we discovered the ability to kill others. With our own hands we have murdered any hope for peace whilst we exist within the realm of reality.

Audience: Stunned and angry, most likely. Some people agree with me. In the end I do not win the bid for Miss America and receive a bunch of hate mail that only goes to prove my point.

Why am I doing this, you might ask? Well I posted on Facebook earlier the following statement "World Peace cannot be as long as Human Beings exist." and one of my friends from high school commented on this with "Is that your miss America stand?", which got me thinking.

My reply was "Why yes, yes it is. Lol, if I ever were in the competition. I'm pretty sure that wouldn't get me voted into being Miss America either. :D" and the rest is history (so to speak).

I think about some very interesting things sometimes. ^^

Crazy Happenings

As I mentioned in the last entry my life has been pretty crazy lately.

First off, I lost my job. This occurred after just 1 week of training and 1 week of being an ACTUAL employee. That sucked. I was heartbroken, because I really (REALLY) liked that job. I am over being sad now and have moved on to just being pissed.

Secondly, my mom got re-married. We all knew that she was going to get married, we just weren't expecting it to happen so soon. Originally it was going to be July, but it ended up being May 28th. And no, I wasn't there for the wedding. I found out after waking up from a nap.

Thirdly, did I mention my mom got FUCKING MARRIED? Yeah, crazy shit. So because she got married she isn't going to renew the lease here, which means we all have to be out by the 1st of August. Which would be just fine if I still had a job, but I don't.

Not only that, you guys might not know this, but I don't have my high school diploma. Due to a lot of health issues when I was in school I didn't get to finish. So I'm also trying to get my GED, so that I can get a GOOD job. As in, benefits, insurance, the whole nine yards.

Anyway, that is what is going on now.

This time I'm not going to promise that I'll do better, or promise to blog more often. For now I'm just going to say that when everything gets straightened out I'll write more. I may write a lot in the next few days or I might not, you never know. In the mean time, please keep reading and please keep telling people about the show and the blog. It would be nice to come back to a bunch of new fans.

love,
Sarai

Just Like You

I was thinking about someone today, we won't say who and I came across this song that reminds me of this person. So, for your viewing pleasure, here is the video and the lyrics.



"Just Like You"

I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you

I could be fake
I could be stupid
You know I could be just like you

You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

I could be cold
I could be ruthless
You know I could be just like you

I could be weak
I could be senseless
You know I could be just like you

You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

On my own, cause I can't take living with you
I'm alone, so I won't turn out like you
Want me to

You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you

I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you

SO, yes, there is your song for the day. I am sorry that I haven't really been blogging recently. I've been trying to take care of a few things in my personal life, plus my Mom got married (again) on the 28th. With that, plus looking for a job, plus trying to get moved out things have been hectic. Anyway, here's hoping we will have more blogs soon. ^^

A Song and a Half

So the song of the day is in Japanese, but I really like it. And surprisingly NOT because it is some hot Japanese guy. It isn't a guy at all! I like it because it reminds me of some music I used to listen to with my older sister back in the early 2000's and the late 90's. Anyway here it is in glorious TECHNICOLOR! *just kidding*



That's all for now, more later, hopefully.

Word of the Day (April 22 - May 4)

Sorry that I am so far behind guys!!! Here are the words of the day from where I left off to now! ^^

April 22nd: Empyrean
April 23rd: Ambisinister
April 24th: Oneiric
April 25th: Egregious
April 26th: Gelid
April 27th: Aubade
April 28th: Eschew
April 29th: Coquetry
April 30th: Billet-Doux
May 1st: Quixotic
May 2nd: Arcanum
May 3rd: Islet
May 4th: Trepidatious

Empyrean
The sky was a cloudless empyrean, dusted with silver stars. An ivory moon combed out her black hair, her children dancing. It was a perfect night. He smiled at her, a million diamonds reflected in the mirror of her eyes. He knelt before her, the small box tenderly held out. "Will you marry me?"

Ambisinister
It was difficult being ambisinister. Always so clumsy, always dropping stuff. Of course, it might be less difficult if you actually had hands to be ambisinister with. No, that just doesn't make sense! Having hands might make me less clumsy? I might drop less items that way?

Oneiric
The sands of time drip slowly through the hourglass for those whose outlook is oneiric. Often contemplative, they watch the sand sift down and psycho-analyze each grain. Dreamy, they see rainbows where there are blood streaked skies. They see stars through the smog, when the stars have all faded into non-existence. They do not see reality in black and white, but in shades of violet and cream. Maybe that is why they seem so much happier; existing in a dream world.

Egregious
"You're such an egregious liar, Persephone! As if anybody really believes Hades kidnapped you. And not only that, you ate something so you can't come back?! If you didn't want to do the play with us you could've at least said so! Now, because of this stunt, we have to find a replacement last minute! Zeus' genitalia, this is ridiculous!"

Gelid
That winter was particularly gelid; the roads coated in generous amounts of snow. Brian and Chelsea were sledding down the hill, racing. It was kind of a date, though neither had admitted their crush. Soon they were at the bottom, sprawled out and entangled. They didn't mean to kiss, it just happened. Snowflakes on eyelashes framing green eyes were not meant to be resisted.

Aubade
The muse awoke from her rose petal slumber, an aubade on her lips. The sun's birth approached, the sky opening itself to his fiery entrance. She picked up her lyre and found her way to the balcony of heaven. She sat on the ledge, draping her blue skirts about her. Today's song would be a lullaby, a lure for the dawn. As her fingers danced, the newborn ascended his thorn, bloody embers glowing softly.

Eschew
"To eschew sexuality, and its gifts, would be the worst kind of sin." The cult leader had been talking in this vein for days. "We must cast our virginity upon the altar of lust and love, giving it up as incense to the God of Heaven. We must lift up our rumpled clothes and rejoice in the good gift of sex." Women began stripping off their shirts and bras, men began to tug at their pants. A God induced sexual frenzy was in full swing before you could say "My penis' name is Boris".

Coquetry
The art of coquetry had not been entirely lost on her. It was just so subtle, too subtle for her tastes. She preferred boldly asserting herself to the subtle dalliance of coquetry. Her mother, however, wanted her to be quiet and meek. She was neither quiet nor meek, nor was she gentle and mild-mannered. She was wild and she intended to stay that way.

Billet-Doux
He had been up the entire night perfecting his billet-doux. His sweetheart deserved perfection in every way, especially in love letters. A sweet note to a sweet girl, he thought. Love was such a funny colored thing! One moment it flared red with passion, the next it was white with purity. This letter would never be finished, as love goes on forever.

Quixotic
It was a quixotic dance to them, rushing in, bullets flying. A damsel in distress was unnecessary for them. The sound of bullets ringing against concrete spurred fire through their blood. It was reckless and romantic, a modern fairy tale. They would go down swinging, rebels without a cause. Fighting only windmills on paper horses, they ride into destiny.

Arcanum
The professor was talking on and on about arcanum and long dead alchemists. Cindy was falling asleep. She began to dream as she drifted, the professor's words a lazy drone. She was lost in a cave, the walls rising high and glittering. She could feel secrets as old as time itself pressing down on her. This is what the professor meant by arcanum.

Islet
On a summer lit islet a girl watches as violets are gathered. She is a sacrifice to the heart of the small island. They fill the sea chest with the tiny flowers until it overflows with purple and green. They lead her to the box and force her down. Her eyes glimmer with fear as they prepare the knife. When the moon rises it rises over a murdered mermaid and bloody violets.

Trepidatious
Trepidatious, she crawled out of the vault. Everything was so big! There was a blinding light coming out of the sky, at least she thought it was a sky. The first thing she came in contact with was a small building with a woman named Silver living in it. All fear gone, she spoke with Silver for a time and headed for a place called Megaton. The search for her father had now begun in earnest.

Material Girl

So today's song is Material Girl by Madonna. I am unable to embed the video so I am going to post the link to it here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX1Q48Uqses

Now onto the other stuff...

I'm going to post a couple of news pieces and then I'm going to post a picture or two. Nothing extravagant for this blog. My next blog I will post the words of the day. I don't have to be at work until 7 so I have time to post that before I leave. ^^

NEWS NEWS NEWS!

Awesome picture of the day!
Does that spell what I think it spells?


All for now, folks!!
Sarai

A Full Course Meal.

I suppose it is that time again, where I post something. I have been a little lax in posting the words of the day, partially because everything has been so crazy here. So, this is a short apology and a post just for you!

I'M SORRY! (See, short apology)

Now onto the rest of the post...

On today's menu we have as an appetizer:

Je Reviens by Kaolin as our song of the day. I heard these guys after a friend of mine on Facebook posted a status about them. I really like this particular song and I hope you do too!!


and we have for the main course:

Some interesting articles I have found recently. Some of them warm my heart and others make it grow cold as ice, but for now, let's start with some that warm the heart!

A Tabby cat named Zoe has adopted 3 abandoned BOBCATS. Everything is being done to protect the tabby and the bobkittens, and hopefully the bobkittens can return to the wild!
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100430/ap_on_fe_st/us_odd_cat_nurses_bobcats

A teenager (allegedly obsessed with death) dug up a corpse in a private Jewish cemetery and hacked off it's foot. No word yet from the corpse's lawyers. ^^

Apparently the U.S. and China are in a Honey war... Well, isn't that a sticky situation (I know, that joke was terrible, but still funny)!
http://www.upi.com/Science_News/2010/04/30/Scientist-China-avoiding-honey-tariff/UPI-99381272637537/

and for dessert:

These are a few interesting bits that I found whilst stumbling around on the net. I hope you enjoy them as much I do!

Stephanie Metz creates wool sculptures. That's right, she takes wool and a felting needle and creates beautiful sculptures with it. I love the pictures of her work!

France, known as the Romantic Country, is home to a very bizarre statue. Born of the Renaissance, this statue is called Transi de René de Chalon. It is a replication of the decomposition of the human body, a skeleton with dried flesh hanging from its limbs and holding its own heart. It once held the REAL heart of the person it was created for (René de Chalon, Prince of Orange), but that has long disappeared.

The picture that I am about to post is a new thing called the "bijini" It is the combination of jeans and a bikini. I would really like to know your opinions on it, as it seems really crazy to me. I kind of like it though. ^^


That's all for now, I plan on posting the words of the day tonight before I go to work. Hope everyone has a good day!!

Okay, for those of you who enjoy the blog, this is a notice to let you know that if you come across pictures that are too wide for the blog and partially cut off that you can just open the picture in a new tab (or window) and it will show the full pic. It is frustrating, but BlogSpot doesn't conform to pictures like MySpace blogs do. Please, be patient with this.

Sincerely,
Sarai

Word of the Day (15-21)

Its that time of the week again!! It is the day that Sarai updates everyone on her words of the day work. So, here you go!!

April 15th: Fleer
April 16th: Cloistered (Donnie likes solitude words)
April 17th: Disenfranchised (Thank you, Trent)
April 18th: Lethologica (Donnie for you)
April 19th: Quincunx (I found this by accident)
April 20th: Lugubrious (Thank you, Judes)
April 21st: Disambiguate (Arlin picked this one)

My Paragraphs, some of them suck, some of them are decent and some are just plain weird.

Fleer
She was not comforted by his malevolent fleer. "C'mon Jack. We don't have to do this." His grin grew bigger as he edged toward her. He brandished an axe, his eyes full of psychosis. She backed up against the wall, trying to fade into it. He lifted the axe and, with all his strength, brought it back down.

Cloistered
Cloistered in his hole, John could hear clawing outside. Screams and singing echoed through the cavernous house he had locked himself in. In retrospect he should've picked a smaller house. How exactly did "I Am Legend" end? He had never finished the book and it was probably lost by now. A board creeks behind him and he turns.

Disenfranchised
"No longer will we be disenfranchised! Women should be able to vote too!" The protesters were standing outside the courthouse, holding signs.
"We are being deprived of our rights, ladies! We deserve to vote, like any other citizen. We will no longer tolerate the disfranchising of our sex!"

Lethologica
"I think I have lethologica." said Amy.
"Why do you say that?" asked Mark.
"I can't remember a word."
"What word?"
"I don't know! I can't remember!"

Quincunx
The problem was in the quincunx. She couldn't seem to figure out how to make it work with the rest of the room. She had flowers for the center table, all with petals in a quincunx formation. She had positioned the couch, tv and chair, but she was missing the fourth element. The center table was waiting, looking like a drunk in a fancy restaurant. So lopsided, everything was lopsided!

Lugubrious
The atmosphere was lugubrious at best. It was also quite creepy and dark. The group of ghost hunters set up their equipment quickly. What better place to film than a graveyard? The door of a mausoleum creaked open slowly; moonlight dripping like blood into the darkness. These ghost hunters were about to get more than they bargained for.

Disambiguate
She doesn't understand disambiguate. She can't spell it or structure a sentence around it, let alone put it in a paragraph. But she is determined, bound to come up with something. She reads the definition again. A glimmer of understanding begins, bubbling up. Finally, she is read to write.

See you next week!!

Jane Austen

Take the Quiz here!

For those of you who love Jane Austen as much as I do, this was a great little quiz!! And I feel perfectly suited to Elizabeth Bennet!!

Word of the Day (7-14)

Last time I wrote, I posted paragraphs from my word of the day exercises that I'm doing. I plan on posting once a week, so that you can read the crazy, not so good and sometimes just pitiful paragraphs I come up with. Good writing practice for me!! I will also post my paragraph on Precocious, as I hadn't finished it when I last posted. ^^

April 8th: Peccadillo (I found this one by accident)
April 9th: Effusion (Trent picked this one)
April 10th: Effervescent (Trent picked this one too)
April 11th: Peace (I picked this one)
April 12th: Apotheosis (Donnie picked this one)
April 13th: Quintessence (I picked this one)
April 14th: Loquaciously (Donnie picked this one too)

My Paragraphs!

Precocious (04/07/2010)
They call her precocious. They call her a genius, a prodigy. It seems they call her everything but her name. She doesn't want to study or change the world. She just wants to eat candy and stay up late. She just wants to be a little girl.

Peccadillo
"A peccadillo my child. Recite five Hail Mary's and all shall be forgiven." said Father Connor. He sighed as another person entered the booth.
"Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned."
"What do you wish to confess?"
"I wear woman's underwear and I am not a woman."

Effusion
The poetic effusion of Autumnal bliss engulfed the young poet. She felt inspired by poets long gone. She heard Beethoven in the trees. She saw Robert Frost's writing in the stars. Every brook seemed to have issued from Monet's brush. Powerfully she was humbled by the greatness of those who went before.

Effervescent
Effervescent in nature, Jane tries to be quiet. "An exercise in patience," she says to no one. She flutters, bubbling with anticipation and impatience. As the moment approaches, her excitement grows so that she bounces back and forth on her toes. He approaches, clean cut and dressed in white. Her joy is abundant as he hands her the butter pecan ice cream she ordered.

Peace
Peace is a condition to which all humanity should strive. A condition of tranquility brought on by the cessation of our own prejudices and quarreling. Peace is achieved when we let go of petty faults, prejudices, et cetera. When we forget ourselves and focus on repairing what has been lost, peace will return. Finding peace is like finding a forgotten flower, quietly graceful. Inner peace lies at the heart of inner beauty.

Apotheosis
"It is only a matter of time before I reach my apotheosis!" cackled the Witch. "Soon, I shall be a goddess, powerful beyond measure! A pinch more of this, a pinch more of that into the stew. Destiny conjured into a bottle and sealed with a kiss. Tomorrow I shall be a goddess!"

Quintessence
The quintessence of my existence has been knowing you. You are the epitome of my experience, the love of my life. My world consists of your lips, your arms. What am I without you? Who could I possibly find to replace you? True love is the quintessence of Human experience.

Loquaciously
Loquaciously she sallies forth into the literal unknown. Determined that the whole world will listen to what she says. She rambles, shouting her desires and opinions to a blue sky. In the end they are only opinions. No one cares for a loquacious young woman, preaching on a sidewalk. She is invisible.

All for now!!

More next week!

Beautiful Headstones

First of all, I would like to show you pictures of the most beautiful headstones I've ever seen.

This headstone was commissioned by a woman for her husband's grave. It was meant to show how much she loved him.




I don't know the story behind this headstone, but it is one of the most touching and beautiful I have ever seen. I would like this to be mine when Donnie and I die.


Okay, so this is a random blog. I have no song of the day, I have no news. I just wanted to post those pictures and this video.



Poor cute Korean kid crying makes me smile, because he is SO CUTE!

p.s. Sorry this isn't longer! Apologies all around.

Girl's Best Friend

Marilyn Monroe is my hero. I love her and would definitely go completely LESBIAN for her. She is my idol, my confidante in spirit and surprisingly quite a bit like me too. I am completely in love with her, I really am. Anyway, that is why today's video is "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" by the one and the only Marilyn Monroe. Enjoy!

Word of the Day

You might not know this, but I like to write. A LOT.

I love words, I love the way they feel in my mouth when I speak, the flavor that they produce. A bouquet of words, so fragrant and rich with meanings and synonyms! They are like a fancy feast laid out before me! A starving woman stuffing my face full of verbs and adjectives, nouns and homonyms!

Anyway, now that I'm done gushing about words, here is a list of what words I have done so far. Not very many as you can see, because I only started this practice on the first of this month. I have been doing this a whole week!

April 1st: Verbosity (the perfect way to begin anything having to do with being wordy)
April 2nd: Protean
April 3rd: Redemption (This was inspired by Gackt!)
April 4th: Abecedarian (I borrowed this from a book I read)
April 5th: Sequester
April 6th: Juxtaposition (Donnie likes to pick hard words for me.)
April 7th: Precocious (Today's Word!)

What I do for the word of the day is this:
I pick a word.
Define it.
Get a sample sentence for it.
Write out a paragraph involving the word.

Would you like to read the paragraphs I wrote for my words of the day?

Verbosity
God's penis, Boris, had a penchant for verbosity. He rambled, he chattered and he generally drove everyone in the vicinity crazy. His superfluous word usage eventually drove God to drastic measures. He decided to cut off Boris' lips therefore preventing him from speaking anymore. He performed the first circumcision and then dictated to Abraham that everyone should have one. This craze caught on and penises everywhere were forever silenced.

Protean
The protean woman glanced all around before slipping into something a little more comfortable. Comfortable being, in this case, a white jade version of Venus de Milo holding a pink jasper platypus. Her next shape might be an amoebic giraffe or Michelangelo's David or a lipstick lesbian! Anything was possible! Thank God for big vats of toxic waste. She just knew she would be the next big thing, perhaps literally!

Redemption
Her redemption came in the form of a kiss. A tender kiss, full of questions and hope. When it was over she felt quenched, atoned, thirsty for more. The desire to be kissed like that again overwhelmed her senses. The caress of skin on skin, tentatively tasting tongue and teeth, it drove her crazy. One redeeming kiss that cost her soul.

Abecedarian
An abecedarian, Little Timmy was so proud of his most recent accomplishments. Feeling awfully clever, Little Timmy went to show his mother how well he had memorized his ABC's. He could now spell cat and hat, bat and flat. What a marvelous thing the alphabet was! When he got home he proudly showed his mother a list of words he had learned. Maybe he'll learn someday why his mother turned so red when she got to the words that ended with "uck".

Sequester
"To sequester yourself within these battlements is the safest choice, your highness." The bombs whistled through the air all around them. The Queen was seated astride her horse, a claymore glinting at her side.
"No," she replied. "I will not sequester myself away from danger when I should be amongst my men." The battlefield does not know the difference between royal blood and common; it willingly consumes both.

Juxtaposition
The juxtaposition of the chess pieces caused quite a stir inside the young photographer. He had not had them like that before. The contrast was stunning, really. White Queen and Red, facing one another with only a black line dividing them. His mind conjured white roses stained with blood, an army trampling them beneath heavy feet. He photgraphed the intensity of what did not exist, even in juxtaposition.

I have not yet written my paragraph for Precocious, but when I do it will be posted.

Also, just for the heck of it, two limericks I randomly wrote whilst writing my paragraphs for two words. One for Protean and one for Abecedarian. The protean limerick isn't that good, but I rather like the abecedarian one.

Protean
There once was a protean schmuck
who preferred veal to duck
an amoeba complexion
caused quite a distraction
and ended the poor fellow's luck.

Abecedarian
An abecedarian librarian
fucked a septuagenarian
She made quite a fuss
when his cum was but dust
So she married a girl named Marian.

All for now. Will write more later!!
Sarai is OUT!

The following is Disturbing

Okay, if you are tender hearted (or get queasy easily) like me, you might not want to read the following articles. If you care about what goes on in the world then you should read the following.

http://www.taliacarner.com/deadnewborningutter.html

http://www.expansions.com/ArticleTemplates/ArticleTemplate.cfm?ID=205

If you read the above articles then you now know about some horrible practices occurring in China. I don't even know what to say. I am in shock and horror and disbelief. I don't want to know this, but I do. I don't even know how to be up in arms about this, because reading these articles has left me with incredible amounts of dispirit and sadness. Sadness for the infants and sadness for a people that doesn't realize how ridiculous and horrible this is.

Another dose

I fancy a Zebra with lunch, don't you? Not to EAT of course, but I do SO enjoy looking at pictures of them whilst I eat.


For those who might not know, I have uploaded 6 videos to the YouTube, so head on over there and watch them!! Here is one for your viewing pleasure.


How could anyone eat vegetables after watching such a cute little thing like VeggiTales? Really? Of course, Bob the Tomato isn't a Vegetable, he is a Fruit.


I am random today. Quite random.

One of my favorite bands is X-Japan. Its members include Yoshiki, Toshi, Pata (I love Pata!!), Heath and hide matsumoto. Well, it used to have hide in it. We miss you hide!!

Okay, I can't keep up this crazy randomness. Need time to recoop!

LATER!!

Anyone for a moment of Insanity?

The year is 111.
It began on a Wednesday. And born this year was Antinous, a lover of an emperor.
Here is a picture of Antinous, the most well known face of the ancient world. Oh, by the way, Antinous, is a MAN. A beautiful man, but a man none the less. So yes, he was Homosexual. And, unfortunately for him, he was 19 when he died.


Speaking of Homosexuality (don’t you love that transition right there?), here is a song by Adam Lambert that I am kind of, sort of, in love with. Yep, I love Adam Lambert.


Admittedly I am addicted to several things. Including but not limited to:
StumbleUpon. Tis, my friend. A very, very good friend.
Randomness. It's because I'm random, you know.
Lady Gaga. Yes, sad but true. Something is very wrong with me.
Strange and interesting things. New things I didn’t know. I love learning new things
Coffee.
Chocolate.
The internet.
Books.
And Donnie. ^^

By the way, BANANA SNAKE ATTACK!!


You didn’t see that coming now did you? I love that picture, by the way.

WARNING THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE IS A LITTLE INAPPROPRIATE!
http://cogitz.com/2009/08/24/the-most-bizarre-relationship-ever/
That was a pretty crazy relationship, AWESOME, by the way, but crazy nonetheless.

I wish life was a never-ending perfect circle, don’t you? Can’t you see it? I can.

All for now, but I’ll post some more later!

Your Fragrance was so Beautiful

Today's song is one of my favorites. It is Fragrance by Gackt and it is a live version. Gackt is one of few singers I know who is actually BETTER when he is live. So, I hope you enjoy this beautiful video of a beautiful man singing a beautiful song.


Do you ever tire of the news? I do sometimes, but I do think it is something I should do. So here is the news and maybe later on today we'll have something a little more interesting.

a 15 year old girl is being charged with aggravated sexual assault, promoting prostitution and other crimes. Why? Because she sold her 7 year old step-sister to 7 or more men who then gang-raped her.

Somebody's Watching Me...

Sorry the blog was rather short yesterday guys. I wasn't in a very good mood and I apologize. Today however is going to be a good day. You know why? Because I am going to take a shower!! Well, besides that I'm going to do an episode today. Yep, that's right. You are going to get an episode. Probably later on tonight.

So for now enjoy your video which is a cover of Rockwell's song "Somebody's Watchin' Me" by Mysto and Pizzi. You might recognize it from the Geico commercials. I love it. I like the original too, but I like this one better.

Jim Croce for the Win

So we are going old school today, with a song from my childhood. I loved this song as a kid.



And here are some news clips.

Mannequin and Cap'n

Its coming down to blurry lines and strange Goodbyes.
Or are they Hellos?


My brain is fuzzy, what was in that drink you gave me?
Is it just my mind playing tricks on me?


You're so beautiful, do you know that?
I wish I could be half as pretty, but I'm not.


Flowers sit on the floor beside you, rest your head on my knee.
The flowers are dead and your head is a skull now.


What was the last line in that love song?
The one about never being alone?


He is playing music in my brain, blaring it so I can't think.
I wish he would come back, I really miss him.


You know what? You look very familiar, have we met?
Married? To who? Me?! No way, when did that happen?


I am not drunken, nor am I sobered. Touch me, lets see where
this will go... Or not, I am too drunk


Damn my luck, you were only a mannequin. I should've known.
A shoulder for everyone, but always alone.


So, I'll sit here a while longer, let the alcohol burn through me.
Or maybe I should leave now, so we don't start arguing again.


Dammit, I loved you once. I'll be drunk as hell in a minute,
So maybe you should go home. Go home to her, leave me.


Dammit, I lost the rum, did it spill in the toilet?
Or did you take it with you?


Sitting all alone, a mannequin for companionship and a
bottle of Cap'n. Damn you.

Zombies

Song of the day is by a group called "The Cranberries" and they are from Ireland. The cool thing is that their lead singer also sings fluently in Chinese, so maybe we will have a song by her in Chinese!!



No news for today, because I am feeling quite lazy and have been in a lot of pain. Also, I am exhausted. So, enjoy your song and I'll write more later!!!

Random is as Random does

As some of you may or may not know, BlogSpot has a thing where you can put tags on your blog. I have a LOT of tags. So this, and the following blogs, are going to have a something to do with the different tags I have. Are you ready?

There are probably 111 reasons why the year 1961 was both a good and bad year, but I don't know them.

Reasons why 1961 was good:
Well JFK became President of the United States. He was the first Catholic president.

JFK established the Peace Corps.

JFK appoints Janet G. Travell as his physician. She is the first woman to hold this position.

Princess Diana was born.

West Side Story was released as a Film.

Reasons why 1961 was bad:
The last public Tram in Australia was closed down, bringing The S. Hemisphere' largest tramway to an end.

A dam on the Dnieper River in what was formarly the USSR burst and killed 145 people.

The Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba began and failed.

Freedom Riders bus was bombed and the protestors were beaten by an angry mob.

Freedom Riders were arrested in Mississippi for "disturbing the peace" after they left their bus.

I have posted pictures of 2NE1 which is a Korean girl group. So I thought you might want to read about them (or not as the case may or may not be). Now, follow the Wikipedia link!

Yep, that's right, Sarai the one who is probably the least Christian person you know, is having a Christian song of the day. Why? Because back when I was a Christian I liked this song and I still like it. I believe in a God of some sort, just not the one that the Christians believe in. You know? Anyway, this is by a New Zealander named Phil Joel. And I lovers him.


So your picture of the day is as follows:


The rest of that stuff I promised will follow this shortly!! ^^

Anyway, commence with the listening of said video and look at how CUTE G-Dragon is!!
