Get Your Sh*t Together: Pirates of the Caribbean
Pirates of the Caribbean 4 is coming out and it has MERMAIDS.
I love Mermaids.
Ariel is such a Pushgirl.
However I have not understood one single thing that has happened since the first movie.
If I can follow all 7 seasons of LOST with more coherence than I can follow a movie based on a ride something is wrong.
Pirates of the Caribbean 4 I hope you got your sh*t together, because I would really like to enjoy some badass mermaids.
Ode to an American Girl
My friend recently posted this on my wall that got me thinking about my good old days playing with American Girl Dolls.
Molly was my girl. She was smart, funny, and lived in the 40’s! I loved her dearly and dressed her up according to the seasons, be it her ever day skirt and sweater (which started my life-long love of Argyle) or her yellow rain coat and galoshes.
She wasn’t just an expensive toy, she was educational. I read her books and learned about the life in the 40’s. I wanted a Victory Garden and a displaced English Child.
When I was getting a bit too old to play with dolls I turned to American Girl Magazine. I learned about crafts, and friendship, and what to expect during puberty. The best thing about the magazine was it NEVER made me feel like I had to look a certain way or be anyone other than myself. Basically the opposite of COSMO.
So thank you Molly and the American Girl corporation for training a young Push Girl.
The Plastics + 50 years = Daughters of the American Revolution
DAR: The Original Plastics?
My boyfriend thought it would be hilarious (or advantageous?) to sign me up for the DAR’s mailing list. (DAR = Daughters of the American Revolution) Since he signed me up, I have received numerous e-mails, phone calls, and written invitations to events.
At first I had no interest in joining the group. I mean they are (in my opinion mostly entirely formed by Gilmore Girls) a bunch of rich, old, conservative, white ladies. I’m only two of those things (white and lady). So I resolutely declared I would not go to such snobby and classist events.
But I’m so damn intrigued. I’m like Lindsey Lohan in Mean Girls. I’m just this former homeschool jungle freak and The Plastics want me to sit at their table. It’ll be hilarious to see how they work, what they think, how they dress.
Can I take part without changing? Or am I on my way to becoming… one of THEM!?!
How Sarah Thinks Thor works
When people talk about comic books and superheroes, Sarah tunes out. This is Sarah’s interpretation of their origin stories.
Thor is a Norse God who can make thunder by striking his magic iron. He is the only Norse God so he is often lonely.
Thor saw all the superheros hanging out on Earth and thought “These pathetic freaks who wear spandex and fight strangers to work out their inferiority complexes are called superheroes and adored? Please. I deserve way more worship than that.”
So he flipped his flaxen hair and fluttered down to earth with the tiny wings on his helmet. He realized that he too would have to wear Spandex to be taken seriously. Thor quickly learned that thunder does very little in a fight but has become pretty accurate throwing his hammer at the heads of villains.
