movies:- dirty dancing (1987) work was so quiet this morning that i got to watch this in it's entirety, stoked. this was so much better than i remembered, i got in a swayze trance. i'd never much appreciated patrick swayze before, maybe i do now because i'm an old lady. staring at swayze's arse strikes me as an old lady thing to do. or something groups of 'girlfriends' do before they go to over 28s nights, you know, watch dirty dancing & giggle & drink cheap wine. oh & extra added special bonus, baby's mum is the grandma from gilmore girls. excellent.
- beverly hills cop 2 (1987) i don't know why i haven't spent every single day of my life watching the beverly hills cop movies. i would've been perfectly happy doing so. judge reinhold, who appears in all three films, later had an awesome part in seinfeld as one of elaine's boyfriend, the close talker who becomes obsessed with jerry's parents.
tv shows:
- the golden girls (1985-92) season one, eps 16-18. oh man, best episode. blanche's niece is engaging in a bit of bedhopping, so naturally all the girls go to confront her about it at some guy's apartment. the guy is obsessed with miami vice & it's one of my favourite moments so far. i've linked to a clip above, made funnier by the fact that's it's dubbed in german.
"you've never seen miami vice? it's only the best show that's ever been on television...ever! it's in stereo, for pete's sake!"
- married...with children (1987-97) season three, eps 4-5. al's love of taking a dump is a running gag throughout the series & episode 5 has him building his own personal poo palace out in the garage.
music:
- the neverending story theme at lush & at home...a lot.
- beverly hills cop soundtrack at lush.
food & drink:
- curly wurly.
- twinings lady grey tea & banana cake.
- salad sandwich.
- lemonade icypole.
- vegemite saladas, curly wurly & chamomile tea.
- popcorn.
- plum.
challenges/comments:
it always surprised me just how many of my friends had no interest in the news. prior to this month, every day i would read the news (mostly online now, paper version a couple of times a week), listen to neil mitchell & watch today tonight/aca for a hilarious take on the news, discuss the news with others & watch a bulletin. i particularly enjoyed my courier at work telling me the latest bizarre happening from the herald sun (remember that 80 year old grandma that got her car impounded for speeding with her dog on her lap while racing to her lesbian lover?). i always wondered what it would be like to be completely unaware of current events & well, now i know. that feeling i had for the first few days of missing out on something major has passed & now i don't even think about what's going on outside of my own little world. it's unsettling & i'll be going back to stickybeaking the business of the universe feb 1st.
