women love ponies and make-up

Hello there, sunshine!

This blog (once a space I believed I would use as a way to visually share the grand meals I had been preparing at 10pm nearly nightly in my Providence apartment and a means to convey my great disdain for the poor driving habits of Rhode Islanders, their overly creamed and sugared reg'lar cwaffee, and their misunderstanding of what "far away" means) turned art blog will now just be a blog again, theme to be determined.

For now, I would like to inform you that the things I've created are now parked at www.hellotheresunshine.com, a domain I had purchased nearly a year ago and used solely to house one photo of Ira Glass, two photos of curtains I had made, and my then recent sleeping habits of falling asleep on the couch and the various television programs I had fallen asleep to. If you had viewed www.hellotheresunshine.com at any point of 2010, you know what I am talking about.

This is now going to be my art blog. I decided this while driving home from work tonight.

The cultural ferment of a modern woman

I am a woman of plans, some of which have come to fruition. I drink the beer and I blow-dry my hair. I cook my own food and I make my own coffee. I wear skirts more than pants and I wear the dirty flats.

I am Sarah Porter and this where I will gripe about Rhode Island and upload photos of meals I have cooked.
