movies:
- valley girl (1983) basically an 80s slang how-to. best soundtrack. nic cage is extremely nic cage like, as usual. that man manages to both terrify me & make me believe in a better world all at the same time.
- fatal attraction (1987) hadn't seen this in forever & was intensely distracted by how scary glenn close looks. not because her character is a grody creep, but like, her actual physical appearance. ghoulish horseface. i had nightmares.
- good morning, miss bliss (1988-89) season one, eps 1-3. this show is unofficially the first season of saved by the bell. screech, zack, lisa & mr belding are there, but they're in junior high & miss bliss is the featured teacher, instead of mr. belding. it lasted one season before they retooled it, graduated the kids & renamed it saved by the bell. miss bliss is a poncy tart, so i'm glad they got rid of her.
- the golden girls (1985-1992) season one, ep 3. dorothy can't beat sophia at gin rummy, oh the drama that ensues!
- married...with children (1987-97) season 1, eps 7-10. kyle is loving this, having not really seen it before, stoked!
music:
- the jesus & mary chain's barbed wire kisses (1988) on the record player while kyle & i were painting in the garage.
food & drink:
- sara lee banana cake & lipton tea (grody...i can't have my usual T2, as they weren't around in the 80s, so had to settle...buying twinings tomorrow to get me through the month).
- cherry apple lollipop.
- shin ramyun noodles...second last pack, won't buy any 'til next month, i have to break the stomach churning addiction!
- mushroom & nut pie, salad, banana smoothie. pie recipe from the margaret fulton book. this was way gnarly, margaret knows what time it is.
- cola zooper dooper. we bought the aldi version of zooper doopers last month and they were grody to the max (i'm genuinely in love with the word grody, by the way). kyle was forcing himself to eat them, but gave in & threw them out yesterday. nothing compares to the original.
challenges/comments:
first day back at my path centre since i started this. the very first thing that the very first patient said to me when i brought him in was "happy new year...how about that guy who blew his head off with the fireworks?". i couldn't scream "NOOOOOOOOOOO, I'M LIVING IN THE 80S FOR THE MONTH & I CAN'T HEAR THE NEWS, DUHHHHH!". instead i said "yeah that was something...but you should've seen my cats on new years with all the carry on, their ears were so pricked up!". yeah.
i really missed having my radio on at work. maybe i can find one of those oldies community stations that have no ads & only play music from the 30s & everyone's name is betty & sound like they're being run from a nursing home. i remember finding a station like that when i lived in st. kilda during my teens, it was my favourite.
