movies:computer/human romance night!
- electric dreams (1984) the whole movie is basically leading up to one of the greatest movie scenes of all time, when the entire world jams the fuck out to phil oakey singing electric dreams, as it streams uncontrollably from all sorts of electrical equipment! wooooooooo!
- weird science (1985) dig on that title track by oingo boingo, could happily listen to that & only that for hours! danny elfman of oingo boingo is responsible for all the good in the world. well, all the good in my world. his world. what i'm trying to say is that he created the simpsons theme, the pee wee music & scored most of tim burton's movies, so basically, if you're the religious type, you should consider constructing a little altar to elfman in your bedroom (danny...not his scientologist nephew bodhi that married dharma from dharma & greg, ugh).
tv shows:- growing pains (1985-92) season one, eps 5-7. dana plato guest stars in episode 6 as a madonna look-alike love interest of mike's. plato starred in diff'rent strokes, but is known more for her post-strokes downfall. she had lots of problems & eventually died of a drug overdose, but the most bizarre event would have to be her robbing a video store in vegas at gunpoint & being bailed out by wayne newton! i like to imagine wayne is a vegas bail angel & once a week shows up at a jail & randomly bails someone out. yeah, i'm making that true, great job wayne!
- family ties (1982-89) season one, eps 5-6.
- full house (1987-95) season one, eps 21-22. DJ skips school to go to a signing by stacey q. i remember thinking the last time i watched this episode that stacey q was just a character, but no, she's a real true life 80s one hit wonder.
- tales from the darkside (1983-88) season one, pilot. bitchin' horror anthology series created by zombie king george a. romero. these twilight zone type shows experienced a real revival during the 80s, but they aren't really around anymore & maybe that's a good thing, left in an era when they were done best.
- coil's horse rotorvator (1986)
- crispy ambulance's open, gates of fire (1983)
food & drink:- twinings irish breakfast tea & homemade banana cake.
- vegetable dumplings (wang brand from korea - yes yes, have your laffs, haha - to the best of my research ability they were around in the 80s).
- nut loaf w/ homemade tomato sauce (recipe from 1989 women's weekly vegetarian cookbook).
- twinings lady grey tea & homemade carrot & walnut cake (recipe from the aforementioned book).
- orange zooper dooper.
challenges/comments:
kyle has been very excited about the tim & eric movie for months now. well, something exciting must've happened with it, because he keeps running up to me with his fingers gripped to his mouth, tells me i have to watch this clip on youtube, whispers 'they got rango'd!!!' then runs away squealing like a little girl. no kyle, i won't give in, i don't know what you're talking about & whatever it is can wait 'til feb 1st! stupid husband.
