Dance Party Standbys

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

We were at an awesome party a couple weeks ago at my friend Amanda’s house, and India learned an interesting factoid:
There are three songs that DJ’s will play as a last resort to get the party going. Maybe I should ask our wedding DJ, The Human Jukebox if he agrees.

Want to guess what the top 3 are?….

Best and Worst @ the Oscars

Monday, February 26th, 2007

Lets see…
Jennifer HudsonWTF was up with Jennifer Hudson’s gold jacket? Thank goodness she took it off when she got inside. It was like some seventies-disco-vampire cloak. Don’t think she should have won, but hey, we all knew she was going to.


Kirsten Dunst
I just think Kirsten Dunst is so adorable. The dress was strange, but I actually kind of liked it from the knees up (not sure what the deal was with those feathers on the bottom.)


Penelope Cruz I don’t mean to be a bitch, but I think Penelope Cruz is fugly. She looks like a witch. I think the lack o’ bangs made her face looked too harsh. But her dress was totally beautiful (in an OTT kind of way).


Gwyneth PaltrowGwyneth Paltrow looked uh-mazing. The dress was really unique and flattering, and her hair is gorgeous. (check out the psycho blonde in the background. Yikes!)


BeyonceWhat was up with Beyonce’s dress? The leg slit and the neckline jewels were, uh, interesting.


Rinko Kikuchi
Still haven’t seen Babel, but Rinko Kikuchi is uh-dorable. (And why did they keep cutting to her in the audience? The girl doesn’t speak english!)


J LoAm I the only one who liked J Lo’s dress? Who else could (or would even attempt to) pull that off? I wonder how heavy that thing was…


Forrest Whitaker How amazing is Forrest Whitaker? I love him. (Okay, so I haven’t seen Last King of Scotland yet, but he’s brilliant in Ghost Dog.) And his wife is HOTTT!


Jessica BielLook at Jessica Biel’s left boob! Can someone tell me if I like this dress or not? Cuz I’m pretty sure I don’t.


gael & diego
And how adorable were they?



And my favorite line, I think, was John C. Reily:
“I chose to be in both Boogie AND Talladega Nights.”

Back Talk on Amazon!

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

Pre-order your copy of Back Talk on Amazon.com today. Wow. I’m starting to get really nervous-slash-excited. Only 4 months till publication! Oh man, what if it doesn’t do well?
It will though, right?
Yeah. It totally will. It’ll fly off the shelves. I’ll go on Oprah, and Rachel Ray, and Ellen… Then it’ll be printed in 45 different languages… And then I’ll get a movie deal…

One step at a time, Alex.

Top 5

The Academy Awards. Ooh, how exciting. Love the clothes, love the speeches, love the dead people segment–love it all!!! (Except, oops, I forgot to see most of the movies this year.)

Cauliflower Makes a mean mashed potato substitute.

Mari Mancusi–Cheesy, but fun. Vampires, skaters–what’s not to like.

100 Calorie packs. Just tried the chocolate pudding. Dizzamn.

Britney Spears=Train Wreck.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007

I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since that cold, wintery night when Andy cajoled me into taking a walk in the park (right outside the planetarium) and then got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! I sure as hell wasn’t expecting that! (As he probably gathered from my speechless hysteria.) Aw, I’m getting all teary-eyed just thinking about it. Just kidding. But it was pretty freaking adorable! Wonder how he’s going to top that this year…

Hope everyone has a great Valentine’s Day. And if you loathe valentine’s day to the very core, then I merely hope you survive this cold and snowy Wednesday (but secretly I know you’re eating tons of candy–so don’t try and fool me, sucka!)

Quick poll: Did Google forget the ‘L’ or do you think it’s supposed to be the strawberry stem? I vote stem, but I still think it looks kinda retarded.
