Sarah Samudre's Tumblr

I'm a writer, filmmaker and producer based in Seattle, WA. I work with my husband, Vasant, and this Tumblr has generally nothing to do with anything I just typed.

THIS Tumblr is about the things I find interesting. Videos, TV shows, quotes, art, random rants... you know. Tumblr stuff. Also, recently, this Tumblr has been a place where i draw things...

This is where you can BUY the things I draw, like Smauglock, Dumbledore's Army and a lot more to come in September...

I also curate the Hugo House Tumblr

It’s not a total Jonah day. Nowhere near. But it’s not the best day.

Vasant and I have been running around all day doing errands. We were trying to beat the snow, and we did. We did our errands and shopping for next week, so if we get snowed in, we’re good.

We came home and found that Lilo had thrown up all over couch, ruining a pillow and a back cushion. Those two cores cost a bit to replace and will take a month or more to arrive, so our couch is going to be off its game for a while.

(Yes, my couch has game. I meant to write that. Why do you ask?)

Vasant and I also have to stay up late working tonight, and we have to work tomorrow, so that’s not fun.

All of this is sitting on top of an email I got this morning, just as my eyes were beginning to unblur and focus in, from my mother in California, describing the state of my dying Grandmother. My Grandma asked my mother to “make it stop” yesterday. The cancer is ravaging her and she asked her daughters, sobbing, if they could just make it stop.

So pretty much every non-positive event today is piling on top of that email.

I just want to punch things, cry, curl up into a ball and bawl.

But I’m going to cook instead.

Cooking is the domain of the creative who constantly wants to create and destroy, to know that something can be controlled, to know that something can bless and do good, in a world where the negatives keep piling up.

I’m not doing as bad as I sound. I’m just typing out the spread of the day. I’ll cook. I’ll work on the video editing. Hopefully… I’ll see snow fall tonight.

And that is always wonderful.
