It's a fantastic day!

Well it's a fantastic day today. Not really, but it makes it better when you listen to this song. This song is by Haircut One Hundred, a British pop band formed by Nick Heyward in 1980.  "Favorite Shirts (Boy meets Girl)" was their first hit which reached number 4 in the UK Single Chart, but I personally think that "fantastic day is the best one that I have found. My teacher introduced me to this band and now I'm really happy because I love it!

Back to the Future!!!!!!

Great Scott! This 1985 American classic is one of my all time favorites. It was the best film of the year, grossing more than 383 million dollars. I wish I had 383 million dollars.... ANYWAY this film is about Marty, who goes back in time and meets his parents. In the 1950's, Marty has to find a way to make it back home with the help of his friend Doctor Emmett Brown, a.k.a "Doc". As Marty explores, he messes  up how his parents met, and has to re-unite them or else he will cease to exist.  This movie won the academy award for best sound editing, but I think it should've won more than just that.

i don't have time to don't this elkin

Okay hi i cant blog tonight so i really quickly did this. K bye. Sorry. Next time it'll be good (maybe).

That 80's hair!! (perms)

Look at that hair.  That, my friends, is a perm.  This was a popular style in the 80's, my mom even did it multiple times.  I even have some friends that still do it today.  I have naturally strait hair, and I often wonder what it would be like to get a perm.  I won't get one though, it's supposed to be bad for your hair.  The process consists of using chemicals to break and reform hair bonds.  They wrap your hair around a "perm rod" (the shape you want your hair) and apply waving lotion.  It even looks like it would be really bad for your hair.  I like the look of a soft curl, but that up there^ is just too much to handle in my opinion. 

Are your lips..... sugary??

Kissing is a pleasurable act of affection. Sugar is a pretty yummy substance. Put them together, and you have a great song from the 80's! Sugar Kisses is a song by the English band Echo and the Bunnymen. It was released in August 1987, reaching number 36 on the UK Singles Chart and 24 on the Irish Single Chart. This song actually kind of makes me sad. The beat is uplifting, but really it's about this girl who plays him and then "Just when you think she's yours,
 she's flown to other shores
 to laugh at how you break
 and melt into this lake" 
What a freaking player! Just not a cool thing to do, dude. Anyway, this is probably one of those songs that everybody loves the moment they here it. Who wouldn't want lips like sugar!? 

The Church

My mom pulled out the album Starfish the other day.  She was practically in tears by the end of it because she was having a "moment of memories".  So I decided to blog about them.  The Church is an Australian band formed in 1980, and is thought of as playing the new wave music of the 80's.  Their big hit was the song The Unguarded Moment and after it hit number 22 in Australia, the band took to touring nationwide.  My mom and her brother went and saw them live and it was one of her favorite concerts.  She even remembers what she wore to see them!  Anyway, my favorite song of theirs at the moment is Blood Money, but I also really like all of their other songs!  This band will probably be another one of my obsessions.... great.  

 

(they're pretty good lookin as well...) 

Extra-Terrestrial

Aliens. Are. Freaky. Especially E.T. I know he is portrayed as a kind, caring, and loving alien, but I will always be afraid of him. Every since I was little, E.T has scared me to death.  One of my clearest memories from when I was super little (like 3 or 4) was when I thought that my laundry basket was E.T and I freaked out! Anyway, this 1982 film was directed by Steven Spielberg, a well known director (he was also Dawson Leery's favorite in Dawson's Creek). The film won 4 Academy Awards, and is said to be a portrait of the director himself.  Spielberg relates himself to Elliot, the main character, in many ways such as how Elliott fakes illness by holding the thermometer to a light bulb while covering his face with a heating pad, a trick often performed by the young Spielberg. Michael's picking on Elliott echoes Spielberg's teasing of his younger sisters, and Michael's evolution from tormentor to protector reflects how Spielberg had to take care of his sisters after their father left.  No matter what though, E.T is always going to be a creep to me.

 I mean, just look at him!! ^ AHHH.
