Go see "Shall We Dance." It's absolutely delightful. Delightful! Richard Gere is charming. Susan Sarandon should be his wife in real life. The movie is funny and moving and, even if she's not good for much else, Jennifer Lopez knows how to move.
On the way home from the movie, I saw an unattended bag sitting under one of the seats on the subway. I asked the people around me if it belonged to any of them and it didn't. That shit's freaky. Go to Israel and you'll find that no one sits silently on a bus if there's an unattended package. There are signs all over NY that say, "If you see something, say something" but, until something unfortunate happens on a subway or bus here, I don't think people get it. When I got off the subway, I reported the package to a MTA worker on the platform and he just shrugged his shoulders. I know NY isn't Israel and we're not living with the same kind of constant, realized threat but we are not prepared for the vulnerability of our public transportation system.
Anyway. There's more silly drama over at
mkaolsen because someone posted photos of a hooded sweatshirt like one Ashley wore. It's all kinds of fun to watch this stuff play out.
This week was Gene Kelly week in
shamrock_kid's journal. He's my favorite of that era. As I mentioned to Shamrock Kid earlier in the week, I love his athleticism. It's an integral part of his grace. Put him together with Vera Ellen and I'm in heaven.
And, oh, the new photos of Justin. He looks good. So, so good. The tags suck but I can't get enough of the closely shaved head and the facial hair and the suit and the brooding. *sigh*
