While working on a couple of proposals that I need to submit this week, I had the TV on in the background and Sunday is movie day. I half-watched two movies I had seen before: Bob Roberts (Tim Robbins) and Serendipity (John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale). Call me a hopeless romantic, but Serendipity is one of the best romantic chick flicks out there.

Speaking of TV, I was chatting with Blade yesterday about the Saturday morning cartoons we used to watch. For me, rotting my brain in front of the TV on Saturday morning would have started in 1975 and enjoyed a healthy run until 1989 (I lost access to cable TV when I went to university).

Here's what I remember watching:
  • Tarzan/Lone Ranger Hour
  • Scooby Doo Mysteries (original run)
  • Pac Man
  • Mighty Orbots
  • Looney Tunes
  • Gummi Bears
  • GhostBusters
  • Sport Billy
  • Circle Square (not really a cartoon, but definitely early Saturday morning)
  • Valley of the Dinosaurs
  • Alf Tales
  • Beetlejuice
  • Dragon's Lair
  • Duck Tales
  • Gozilla
  • Transformers (original season)
  • Super Friends
  • Rocket Robin Hood
  • Goldorak (in French)
  • Teen Wolf
What morning cartoons do you clearly remember watching? Use your noggin'; don't look this up on the InterWeb thingy!

During one of the commercial breaks watching Battlescar Galactica, [profile] sarahcarotte turned to me and said "I think I must be in love with you."

"Oh?" I replied, surprised. A nice complement, to be sure, but it seemed a bit out of place. "What prompted you to say that?"

"Slopping shoulders," she replied. "You have slopping shoulders rather than shoulders that stick straight out. I usually don't like that, but for some reason, I'm madly in love with you."

Now I realize when people get into a relationship, we sometimes get lazy. We might not be as attentive as we would be when we were courting and maybe some of our other courting skills suffer from months/years of non-use. But even with that in mind, I'm amazed at what I'm hearing. "Honey, if there's a compliment in what you're saying to me, I think you should give it to me quick."

"You've got the sexy eyes... and um... Your hair!" she was sputtering now. "I like bald or full-bodied, and you've got the full-bodied hair going on! You're damned sexy!"

I'm the last one to criticize anyone about saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, so I feel her pain. Sometimes the best of intentions come out completely bass-ackwards. It's still funny either way.
