'Nother quiz




You Belong in 1982



Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You're colorful at night - and successful during the day.

Can't get much more silly, now can we?


Dear Friend,
The new title pic and color scheme have been inspired by Robin Hood's second series premiering on BBCAmerica last night. I was literally the only one in the house who lasted through the entire, stupid, cheesy and absurd episode. The season promises more of the same. I can't wait. I was astonished at some of the ridiculous things I saw and heard, such as Djaq's line, "Pepper. OUCH!" It was so stupid. I know this show was cheesy last year, but it almost seems they threw any serious thoughts out of the window this year. If you've never watched this show and want to try now, I warn you, check your brain at the door. You won't need it, I promise.
Another silly show I watch, Top Gear, has the season finale tomorrow. I'm sad to think I won't have anymore new episodes for awhile. I've gotten rather attached to the Stig, to be honest. Believe me, it's not a crush, that would be plain bizarre. I adored the scheme to drive across the channel in cars converted to boats. I smiled with glee at the love story that was Richard Hammond and Oliver, too. Filling cars with water, 24 hour races with second-hand cars, racing RVs, Star in a Reasonably priced car! All brilliant. I've heard, with dismay, that the US intends to attempt a version of this show. I hope it doesn't make it off the ground, there is no way it could work the same. You need Clarkson, Hammond and May, and no one in the USA is at all like them. I love America and all, but come up with your own ideas, guys! Leave the UK's to the UK!
Although, if they listened to me, I'd never have been such a fan of the US Office. I hate the UK version, sadly.
Buh-bye!

Can we focus on the good things now?


Dear Friend,
I just want to write and encourage everyone to forget, if only for a moment, the worries and cares and problems we're all going through. Find something that makes you smile, something that for at least a moment makes you truly happy. Even the sound of rain on the roof, the sight of a pretty flower, the taste of your favorite dessert, feel of a fluffy cat, the smell of your favorite perfume can do wonders for a mood. Thank God for the small wonders in life. He gave them to us for a reason. He paid attention to the tiniest details, and we should take time to notice them. Counting small blessings can add up to big gladness.
Yes, there are problems with this world, big ones. But there are also many, many beautiful things that can go unnoticed as we worry. No, focusing on something else won't make everything that's wrong suddenly right, but maybe it can give us inspiration to fix what we can. I dare you to try.
