There Are No More Carbs/Coffee/Bellinis Left in Venice


Back in August, I got back from Stratford-Upon-Avon on a Tuesday night around 9:00pm. The next morning at 7:00am, I was on a plane to Venice. It's the life of a rockstar/someone who doesn't understand how to properly schedule her trips.

It was a great last minute idea brought to me by my school friend Emily. On the way over, we decided to eat and drink every single Italian-cliche thing we could think of. This included, but was not limited to:

> Pizza
> Pasta
> Gnocchi
> Gelato
> Tiramisu
> Bellini
> Espresso
> Prosecco
> Aperitifs

And that was just one meal.***

As I have just finished up my last four masters essays, plus the BEAST (aka my dissertation), I have no more words left in my head. So I apologize in advance for my sad commentary (and lack of imaginative adjectives apparently). Still with me? Ok, here we go:


This happened.



And this.


Aperitifs!.....are kind of disgusting. But look, CHEEZ-DOODLES!

Obviously this.

I made that whole thing my b*tch

Naturally.

Proseccccccco
Original bellini bar, thankyouverymuch





A bridge. A famous one, I'm assuming.



An old area.




I don't remember the name of this building, so let's just call it Lots O' Balconies.



Obligatory water shots.








NIGHTTIME.


SpOoOoOoOoOky


A place.


We may have been trespassing here.
And another place.


More old things.



Fancy Panoramic Shots. Because I'm an artist.





Me and a bridge. (Surprisingly, I didn't fall in).


Gondola Ride: Bucket List #5 - D.O.N.E.




I should work for a travel mag, no?

Proof that I was actually there. 
So, that was my trip to Venice. Hope you don't mind the long-winded tale. Despite it being grossly hot, it was such a lovely city with DELICIOUS carbohydrates. Special shout out to Emily who found the deal and organized the trip. Thanks girl!

 Until next time, CHEERS! (while drinking the most overpriced Bellini ever? Yup. Worth it. YUP.)

Apparently, I only wore one shirt during our 3 days in Venice.
Keeping it sexy, per usual Sarah.



***KIDDING. But it might as well have been. I basically had to roll myself back to the plane.

Amster...Dammit HOW Many Trains Do We Have to Take??

Image
I recently took a trip to Amsterdam with my parents. I know, that sentence in of itself is worthy of a good therapy session, but none of us had been and it seemed like a cool city to go explore in the short time they were across the pond visiting me. (Plus I really wanted to sing  Roxanne by The Police whenever I saw a red light because C'MON. When else can you do that?) The city was beautiful and everyone was super friendly. It was worth the trip just for a visit to the Anne Frank House ( without Justin Bieber, that foolish child ), but we were lucky enough to fit in a few more things before we had to leave. I tried to learn a few Dutch phrases, but per usual everyone spoke perfect English. Something I'm still trying to master. Here are some of the (many, many) pictures I took during our two days: Outside the Anne Frank House Outside the library, which was obviously our first stop. Matching the city's laid back 'tude, cats just ...

Soundtracks to All Nighters

Image
This past year was filled with a disgusting amount of all nighters, which I am WAY too old for (I was too old for it at 20, so it only got worse). But the one good thing that came out of it, besides talented(delirious) dance routines, was the discovery and rediscovery of some great albums. I had some very odd choices in terms of what helped me to write/keep me from throwing myself out the window. Here is the list of some of the ones that got me through those rough nights: Carly Simon "Carly Simon" The Maccabees - "Given to the Wild" Emeli Sande - "Our Version of Events" Birdy - "Birdy", "Fire Within" Macklemore and Ryan Lewis - "VS. Redux" Joni Mitchell- "Clouds" Ella Fitzgerald - "The Voice of Jazz" Pure Bathing Culture - "Moon Tides" Wilco - "The Whole Love" Mark Isham - " Life as a House Soundtrack" - this is for that good, panic cry that happens around ...

A Few Things That Are Currently Keeping Me From Jumping Into the Thames

Image
I'm knee deep in it, folks. Need to do: 12,000 word dissertation (!), two 5,000 word essays (!!), one 2,500 word essay (!!!), and one 2,000 word essay (.....sorry I passed out for a second). BASICALLY, I'm close to the end of my rope (see what I did there?!) However, there are a few things that I just can't get enough of at the moment that are making the process a little easier. Hope you like them too! ....and that you don't have to write 26,500 words in the next month because that's MY THING. GET YOUR OWN. honeyhoney - "Lost Highway" (Hank Williams cover) I've been obsessed with hh for a few years now and the obsession is not letting up anytime soon. They're such a great blend of folk, americana, and indie. Plus they are a joy to see play live since they have such great personalities. (I swear, I'm not their manager....I wish). I had the pleasure of seeing them perform at a small pub here in London and they killed it, per usual. Esp...
