I started rehearsing with Loose Change Dance Co. twice a week for 3 weeks now. It’s a LOT of fun!!! We are learning choreo like crazy! Love it!!!

Why dangerous?… you’ll see…

I have received a newsletter in my inbox this morning, stating that Amazon is lauching a new shopping site called endless.com. Here’s how it went:

Dear Amazon.com Customer,

We’d like to introduce you to a new site built by Amazon and that is setting a new standard in service—meet Endless.com. Just as Amazon has revolutionized the way you shop for books and music, Endless.com will change your expectations of shopping online for shoes and handbags. Our new site allows you to shop your way—using our unique category, brand, size, heel height, color or price selections– and most importantly, for a limited time, we’ll pay you $5 for the privilege of shipping your order overnight. No more waiting or paying extra to get your package fast.

And so I thought…pfff, I don’t think I would want to shop for shoes online, because I need to try them on and feel them out. BUT, when you go on the website, you discover these things:

- Lots of cool brands
- Discounted prices
- Beautiful photos (views of all angles and you can zoom in and inspect the whole shoe, down to its seams!)
- Free overnight shipping
- Great inteface, with easy navigability.
- Free return shipping.

So, why dangerous?… well because I might have to try it… and I might like it.

Joy recently ‘tagged’ me in the little “8 things about you” blogging game that’s apparently going around. On one hand, Joy, I thank you for thinking of me, on the other hand, I will put aside how much I dislike (not to say hate) these types of chains and play the game my way. It was actually fun reading Joy, Leona and Marcia’s … I feel like I know them a little better, I like that.

So there will be no rule posting before the post. In fact there will be no rules at all. No tagging anybody else either… but images, yes, there will be (they’re fun!).

Alright, here we go!…

I took Justin’s invitation and here’s what I look like if I were to be one of the Simpsons… I can pull off wearing white pants only as a cartoon character! Yipee.
What would you look like?

This weekend, we saw 2 very good pieces of art. One was dance and the other was a movie.

Saturday, after a day of cleaning and cooking, my Dad and Sabine met us in the city and we went to see a dance show at ODC theater. It was the Scott Wells and Dancers company, also referred to as the kamikaze dances. Yep, they jumped, spun, threw themselves around, flew, climbed, fell, smashed into each-other and all with great precision and humor.

The show was highly entertaining, light and pretty amazing at times. They had a great piece originally created in 1991 and revisited this year, which involved a couch. The way they threw themselves and each-other in that couch made me want to do the same! It’s like being a kid again and fearless of getting hurt.

The other artful event we went to was Ratatouille, the Pixar animation.

I give it my 4 thumbs up! Yes, I’m counting my feet thumbs too, ’cause that’s how much I loved it!!!
It’s fun, it’s funny, it’s original, it talks about great food, smells, taste, wine with a Parisian twist. Any food lover would appreciate it.

Thomas Keller, chef/owner of The French Laundry was the “key consultant on French Cuisine” for the Pixar team and even voiced one of the minor characters.

You better have eaten before, because it’s going to make you hungry!
