This is my dance space

[resonant]

I saw a clip of one of the dance-lesson scenes from "Dirty Dancing" today, and suddenly I realized: when I'm reading a pairing with one buff guy and one normal guy, my vague mental blocking of the scene totally comes from "Dirty Dancing."

Which is why I'm always having to stop and mentally readjust so that the height difference is in the standard zero to 2" range rather than, like, almost a foot.

80s movies are the gifts that keep on giving. Footloose is another one of those that turn up in the back of the imagination.

Oh I love that movie so much.

Not related to this post, but just trying to find out if I've been blocked intentionally. I tried to comment on your today's post and got a "not allowed to post" message, and when I tried to PM you I was blocked there too.

That's weird. I didn't block you on purpose -- I'll see if I can fix it. (I thought maybe it was because I had accidentally posted before I was finished and then had to delete, but it wouldn't explain the PM.)

Oh, good. I always want to check on whether blocks are deliberate or not. I'll try to comment on today's post again now that I know I must have been trying to post while you were editing. (I still get a grayed-out box when I go to your PM place. Do you perhaps have that turned off in general?)
