So….. I’m getting married next year (June 12, 2010 to be exact). I’ve planned all the big stuff – venues (Basilica of St. Mary, then Interlachen Country Club), band (The R Factor), photographer (Graddy Photography), and videographer (United Video).
But being that I have a long engagement and I’m a total planner (freakishly so, at times), [...]

Top 5 best dance movies of all time
Posted in Dance, Movies on April 23, 2009 | 5 Comments »
I’m fully prepared for the backlash this post will inevitably cause, because, no, I didn’t include Flashdance, Footloose, or Fame (Sorry, Bette! Aka Jennifer Beals, I still love you), and, yes, the list is heavily slanted in favor of movies that debuted in 2000 or after. But seriously, after the 80s, quality dance movies really [...]
Update: Operation Sushi
Posted in Friends, food on April 23, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Thanks to all of your warnings and recommendations, I had a fantastic sushi experience a couple weekends ago when I visited Pittsburgh. My friend Lauren took me to her favorite TINY (like seven tables, seriously) family-owned sushi place and ordered a selection of her faves plus a few of the recommendations I got here on RockJuice, [...]
This is a post about makeup, math, American Idol, and Carebears

I got really sick a few weeks ago. What makes me feel best is cartoons. And not just, like, whatever is on but specifically Strawberry Shortcake (old school only), SpongeBob SquarePants, and/or Carebears. I have gotten over the embarrassment of admitting this. It works.
But this sickness hit me while I was in New York. I couldn’t [...]
oh, look, another Series of Books That ATE MY LIFE

I’m sitting at work right now. And I am not doing work.
And this is not the usual ‘not doing work;’ no, this is not me taking my 258283746th coffee break or pretending to reply to pertinent e-mail while actually e-mailing friends or uploading cds from the library onto my ipod.
This is the jittery, oh-god-why-am-I-here-when-I-could-be-reading kind [...]
This totally just made me cry at work. In a good way.

Confession – I heart Nickelback
Posted in Celebrity, Minneapolis, Uncategorized on April 8, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Yep - I like Nickelback. I admit it. Feels good to declare it, actually.
For years I tried to ignore it. I would be driving and listening to the radio and subconsciously singing along to whatever song was playing – I’d always jerk out of driving/singing coma when I realized I had sang 3/4 of the current Nickelback [...]
Nerd—a square, any explanation needed?
Posted in Uncategorized on April 6, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Part of my job may required me to return Sarah Jessica Parker’s purse to her on Oscar night, or stamp the hand of Sean Penn on his way into the Governors Ball. The other part requires me to take pictures with really, really cool stuff that we acquire for the museum:
While this may look like [...]
True confessions of a professed foodie*
Posted in food, self-loathing, tagged April, sushi on April 5, 2009 | 3 Comments »
*Apparently the term ‘foodie’ has become old hat, but what the hell am I supposed to replace it with, I wonder? Gourmand? Epicurean? Um…no and NO.
Okay. This may shock you… but…I’ve never actually had real sushi. (I’m pretty sure shitty California rolls from the grocery store do NOT count, am I right?). I feel somehow [...]
