Livin' in the 80s Month: Day Seven

movies:
  • the great outdoors (1988) not the best john hughes movie in existence & about 30 mins in, i realised i really wasn't in the right mood to watch it...which is why i was a bit chuffed when we had a blackout another 30 mins later! that blackout turned out to be a 'something exploding in our fuse box' type situation that required an electrician & meant we didn't have power for 17 hours...

tv shows:

  • married...with children (1987-97) season two, eps 9-10. episode 9 featured the bundys bowling against a rival family. the terrifying looking daughter of the rival family was called didi, or as she put it "that's didi with two i's, NOT four e's!". according to imdb, her real life name is jennifer sophia & her only other acting credit is in a movie called 'reform school girls' (linked above). it's rated 4.3/10. i've made it kyle's mission to find it before the end of the month.

games:
  • well, our electrical issues put a dampener on my plans to spend the rest of my last saturday off for the foreseeable future watching married with children, so out came the board games. checkers & dominos...i'm bitchin' at checkers, k-man at dominos.

music:

  • new order's brotherhood (1986) in the car with my friend jessica. we were driving to ingrid's haven in sunday creek so jess could adopt a cat (she ended up with a big, black, one-eyed, hi-fiving gentleman named bojangles!).

food & drink:

  • twinings lady grey tea & sara lee carrot cake.
  • spinach & cheese bread roll.
  • blueberry smoothie.
  • vegetable risotto, recipe from the margaret fulton book...this book was completely ignored by me before this month, LOVE IT.

challenges/comments:

sudden overwhelming craving for vanilla coke, wiggin' out!
