Something I've Missed
Category: random, lifestyle
So, this morning I get to have an indulgence I haven't had in a while: Saturday morning cartoons.

Sure, they aren't nearly as good as they were "back in the day"..and I've got to cook breakfast..and do laundry..and clean the basement..and work out..and get ready to see my ex-wife about some visitation..and prepare for some snow as if it were the Genesis Deluge..

I can still watch a 'toon, or two.

Small miracles...

When I was a kid they had Spiderman and GI Joe and Transformers you know stuff that now are movies.... But back then really the only time you got to see cartoons was all Sat. Morning they didn't have news shows and all that.....

I think it's a mixture of both the maturation vs.the devolution...and I had a fried pastrami, sausage and egg sandwich, with grape juice, coffee and a cigarette. Om nom nom...

Wow, its been maybe 15 years or more since I watched cartoon on the telly. They used to air them on Sunday mornings at home. The did get progressively bad... or maybe our tastes in cartoons evolved as we grew up. But I haven't had a TV in nearly a decade now so I have no idea how they are now.

What did you have for breakfast?!?!

It's official. It's virtually impossible to be in a bad mood after listening to "Raspberry Beret".

A good day is assured!

Addendum: "The Book Of Love" by Peter Gabriel brings me to tears. Everytime.

tinypliny - 10/28/11 14:03
Just listened to both songs!!
I almost expected the bee gees when the Raspberry beret, waaay cool!! I thought the gabriel song was interesting. Somewhat satirical lyrics sung very well.

Thanks for sharing!

It's a great day in the mornin'!

My mom used to say that in lieu of cursing...but it's only on my mind because I watched the original "The Bad Seed" last night, and the language was so rich, the diction, perfect. It's hard to believe Americans used to talk like that.

I blame the internets.

paul - 10/27/11 22:13
Right now there is no way to do that from the phone.. On the desktop you can just drag a picture to your avatar when logged in and viewing your blog on the nine mobile site.

Come on, post an avatar! :)

It's a great day in the mornin'!

Haha, nice. :)

I have somehow never seen that movie. Or heard of it...

You still have Rhoda!
From what I understand, that was the equivalent of an M.Night moment.

The Bad Seed is one of my favorite movies.
