Saturday Morning Flashback

On my latest fall into a YouTube hole, I've rediscovered the commercials I watched every Saturday as a kid. And then traveled back in time to see what Saturday mornings were like even before I was born. As fun as it was, listening to all the exciting music and seeing the flashing imagery, I think I know why my parents always sent me outside to play by about 11 or 12 o clock each Saturday :P. If I've done this right, the clips below should be in chronoglogical order, starting from the early 70's. It's like listening to my Pure Disco cds in commercial form! Enjoy!

Growing up is Hard!

A slow day at work today let me to free associate on wikipedia where I started researching Thundercats. It was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid. And then I saw a picture of the guy who did Lion-O's voice...



I hoped maybe to improve my mood by looking up the voice of He-man but just found this...


...sigh...

Surprise Me Damnit!

The clock's ticking down as nerds around the world await the final Harry Potter book to be released at midnight Friday night! There's various spoilers and even a link to what claims to be pictures someone took of every page in the book and can be read that way. Though rumor has it, that's actually poorly written fan fiction.

I wouldn't know because -- even though I was sent the link -- I clicked it to see where it lead and as soon as I saw an open book, I closed the window. I've never done the bookstore raid, grabbing the book as fast as possible, racing home with it, wrapping myself up in my blanket and blazing through the book as fast as possible while cramming junk food and caffiene in my face. And I don't want the experience ruined!

Tick, tock, tick, tock
