Novelist, comics writer, and librarian based in Portland, Oregon.
If anyone had asked me, I would have said, “Sade’s Smooth Operator? Is already sufficiently smooth. There is no need for an instrumental ’smooth jazz’ version.”
But they didn’t. And it was the last thing I heard at the gym this morning. And it won’t leave my head.
Quick, distract me with something. Please?
You've found Sara Ryan's website. I write books and comics for teens and others, I work as a librarian, and I blog about any number of things, though estate sales, thrift stores, and my cat are recurring themes. Some things you can do here: listen to me read my first novel, Empress of the World, read some of the comics I've written, and find out what I got certificates of achievement for in 1983.

Supposedly if you sing a Kenny Rogers song it will get rid of the other song and Kenny’s songs don’t stick.
If that doesn’t work, try this:

Apologies for those who don’t know what Venn diagrams are.

I have a theory that I have proven to be true with multiple people:
It is impossible to be unhappy whilst singing Copacabana. Really, singing that song releases some sort of lovely endorphins.
Caveat: It is possible to be unhappy whilst SOMEONE ELSE is singing Copacabana in your presence.
You’re Welcome.

Go listen to The Pipettes: http://www.thepipettes.co.uk/
They will stick in your head in place of bad elevator music.
“Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me” is a little piece of pop genius. It’s been running through my head for the past two days.
