New music I'm loving...

Thanks to the Eclipse soundtrack, I got introduced to an artist who is really wonderful. Florence + The Machine has a haunting quality to her music, which is laced with beating drums and a smooth, smoky voice. Her song on the Eclipse soundtrack is called "Heavy in Your Arms" and it's really powerful. But, what I love most is that her lyrics are very poetic and use lots of metaphor. Love that!

Here is one of my favorites from her album, Lungs. It's called "Cosmic Love"

Twilight Saga: Eclipse

Of course, how can I make a blog without posting something Twilight-related? I'm a HUGE Twi-hard, and I recently saw the newest film. It really brought back all those old "I feel like I'm a 16-year-old teeny bopper" feelings again. This movie was really good. I have already seen it twice and it's only been out a day. Can Robert Pattinson be any more pretty? Seriously, Rob, you are killing me! More on this movie later...

Here we go, people.

Hello, world!

I am new to this blog thing, but I think I can handle it. After all, I am a professional. :) My name's Sarah, I'm a married 26-year-old chick who lives outside of Omaha, Nebraska in a suburb called Papillion. (That's Pah-PILL-ee-yun, not the French butterfly thing) I'm proud to say Papio (as we call it) was rated one of the top 5 best places to live. :)

I have a full life: a wonderful husband, a full-time overnight job in a psychiatric hospital, incredible friends and family, and graduate school. Still, I am constantly watching movies, listening to music, and reading amazing books. Hell, it's what I do in my free time. I read and watch to anything I want. I have been toying with the idea of creating a blog for a long time, but I didn't know what to make it "about". I'm passionate about a lot of things in life, and many of them seem to center around incredible stories--whether they be in movies, books, or music. Gotta share the love!

I hope to have fun with this. Check back soon for fun stuff!
