Beck and Fred

I'm thinking about summer because it's so cold outside. Also, I was listening to Beck's "Summer Girl" yesterday because I thought it would make me feel better about the cold, but instead it just made me a sad and impatient.
Meanwhile, when spring/summer finally DOES come around, I want some new Toms. These in particular:



I know they aren't very summery, but you can't really wear Toms in the winter. Unless you were them with really thick socks like my used-to-be-roommate Emily used to do. Plus, I wouldn't want to ruin them with slush and salt and all of the grossness that invests the streets of Lincoln in the months of December, January and February (sometimes March).

OK, I'll stop being negative. After all, my blog is named after an optimist's outlook.
I like Tuesdays, because I get to go to my Great Hollywood Musicals class. Last week we watched "Flying Down to Rio," which happens to be the debut of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers as dancing partners. They aren't the stars of the film, so I'm a little confused as to why our professor didn't choose "Swingtime" or "Top Hat" or any other musical where Fred and Ginger dance for the majority of the movie. *sigh* Oh, I love them...here, in "The Gay Divorcee"



What a dress.

Today, we're watching Busby Berkely's "Golddiggers of 1935." Should be nice and cheesy. Can't wait.
