1. I can't find my GD cell phone. I blame my subconscious self, who is, I believe, attempting to keep me within my alloted daytime minutes by refusing my conscious, too-chatty self access to the phone. Stupid subconscious.

2. Project Runway is awesome.

3. Somewhere in me there's a series of posts about Astaire/Rogers movies to go along with all those icons I uploaded ages ago, but here's something quick I thought of when I looked at my default icon in the corner of my Update Journal window here - in Swing Time, Ginger plays Penelope "Penny" Carroll and Fred plays John "Lucky" Garnett and it was only after I'd seen the movie at LEAST five times that I realized the pun. Isn't that sad?

4. You should all totally see Swing Time asap. It is awesome. I bet it's even more awesome if you're clever enough to get the punny jokes the first time around, as I'm confident all of you are.

Whenever I watch Swing Time I think about "Never Gonna Dance" and Ginger's feet bleeding they did it so many times. But it is in my top 3 Fred/Ginger movies

I know, isn't that incredible? I can't imagine how excruciatingly painful that must have been, and yet you don't see any of that in the dancing or on her face.

What are your other top two Fred & Ginger movies? Swing Time is my personal fave, with Follow the Fleet and Shall We Dance rounding out my top three. I don't think Follow the Fleet is that highly regarded by people, probably because Fred and Ginger are kind of the second leads in the movie, but the movie has some of my favorite musical numbers (like I'm Putting All My Eggs in One Basket, icon-ized here).
