Livin' in the 80s Month: Day Eight

movies:

• joysticks (1983) so much boob. there's nothing quite like the pointless nudity of an 80s teen sex comedy. chuck in some (oddly formatted) pacman & it's taken to a whole. 'nother. level. the spa in the panel van & the oversized joysticks at the arcades were pretty bitchin'.

• beverly hills cop (1984) lots of great things have already come from this month & one of them is rediscovering eddie murphy. AHHHHHHHHH HOLY SHIT BEVERLY HILLS COP! i was in a permanent state of pumped chuffness watching this. righteous soundtrack...kyle observed that movie characters kind of having their own theme song that followed them around was a lot bigger in the 80s. what a gnarly trend.

tv shows:

• freddy's nightmares (1988-90) season one, ep 2. this episode was much better than the first. i'm a sucker for anthology shows, i even like the 90s version of the outer limits, so i'll stick this show out.

• married...with children (1987-97) season two, eps 11-14. episode 14 'guys & dolls' is one of the best of the series. al & steve get hooked on collecting baseball cards & steve sells one of marcy's barbie dolls to fund their habit. marcy wigs out & in one of the greatest scenes ever to air on television, al & steve are forced to roam the harsh city streets in search of the doll...all set to a bitchin' sax instrumental. linked above, watch it, love it, live it.
  

food & drink:

• twinings lady grey tea (no power, so boiled the water in a saucepan on the stove, how old timey!) & sara lee carrot cake.

• shin ramyun noodles w/ an egg & a mocha.

• breakfast for dinner! eggs, sundried tomatoes & avocado on sourdough.

• vegemite toast (too much bread yesterday, barf me out!).

• lindt dark chocolate.

challenges/comments:

there's a forum i frequent that sprouted from the pre-hacked lush forum, i'm missing it! i'd been a bit too busy to post much leading up to this month, but miss popping in for a quick catch up. plus i might be missing out on news of a new villainess range or something like that! WHAT IF SOMEONE'S RUNNING AN AMAZING GROUP ORDER?! probably better for my wallet anyway...

in current news, i can't believe someone shot john lennon today, bogus!
