movies:- the wizard (1989) the wonder years is a show i wanted to watch this month, but i've been trying to find a good copy of it for about 8 years with no success (it hasn't been released on dvd yet due to licensing issues with the music), so i'll keep waiting. it's star, fred savage, stars in this very of-it's-time movie about three kids travelling cross country to compete in a video game championship. it's pretty much a very long commercial for nintendo & super mario bros 3, but I DON'T GIVE A SHEEEEEEIT. the scene where the badass kid lucas glorifies the power glove has since become pretty notorious.
- better off dead (1985) strange, strange john cusack movie that i'd not seen before. kyle realised as we were watching that it's one of the movies parodied in that skiing episode of south park. i was having a look at what other movies the director, savage steve holland, had done since & he only did a couple more before moving on to animation & kids tv. apparently it's all john cusack's fault. cusack walked out of a screening of better off dead & yelled at holland that it "was the worst thing i have ever seen. i will never trust you as a director ever again, so don't speak to me". holland said that john's words made him not care about movies anymore. whoa!
- full house (1987-95) season two, eps 16-17. episode 16 sees full house doing what it does best, making people puke with it's nauseating focus on michelle being cute. michelle, age 2, suffers a broken heart when her equally nauseating boyfriend howie goes back home to nebraska. fark.
the usual 80s comps at lush.
food & drink:- instant coffee at work.
- movenpick ice cream at lush work...i was certain this would be a cheat, but apparently movenpick have been around since 1946, hooray!
- turkish bread & fetta/olive/pesto dip.
- twinings chai tea & sara lee carrot cake.
- shin ramyun noodles w/ egg.
- cadbury furry friend.
tomorrow's the last day! not sure how i feel about that!
