Livin' in the 80s Month: Day Five

movies:
  • raiders of the lost ark (1981) indiana jones is such a tex murphy (or tex murphy is such an indiana jones...). i don't remember these movies being quite so gory though! gnarly/righteous melting/exploding head scene at the end.
tv shows:
  • good morning, miss bliss (1988-89) season one, ep 9. i've noticed screech is practically subdued throughout this series, they really turned him up a notch for saved by the bell.
  • the golden girls (1985-1992) season one, ep 6-7. blanche's grandson visits & teenages the crap out of the place (i.e. his mates visit & SLOUCH ON THE COUCH!).
  • married...with children (1987-97) season 2, eps 2-3. most excellent two parter with the bundys holidaying in dumpwater, florida at a murder motel. it's beginning to be established that al & peggy don't really willingly have sex anymore. during the first season, they were shown happily running off to the bedroom most episodes, but during this two-parter, peggy begs al for sex when they get to the motel, reasoning that they're on vacation. al cries at the thought of it. it becomes a running gag throughout the rest of the series, taken to the extreme when peggy becomes pregnant by practically assaulting al after he'd had a few beers.
food & drink:
  • kfc chips & potato & gravy.
  • twinings lady grey tea & sara lee carrot cake
  • vegetable rissoles, avocado, spinach & a blackberry smoothie
  • teevee snacks! also fantales, milky bar & jaffas.

challenges/comments:

my favourite lady solved my radio problem, her housemate suggested i try 91.5. they're got this summer 80s thing going on with their programming & they don't play ads between the songs, stoked! as long as i switch it off when the news update comes on, it's safe to have on at work. excellent.
court totally used the word grody too! i don't know how it ever stopped being in common use.
