Twenty-five years ago today...

The Day After aired on ABC. I was twelve at the time, and alone in the house. Mom told me not to watch it, but I did anyway. I was scared half to death! It was all anyone could talk about at school for the next week or so.

Twenty-five years later, the Soviet Union is gone, and many of our missles have been dismantled. But there is still a big chance that nuclear weapons could still be used in warfare or terrorism. The movie may be hokey by today's standards, but the threat is very real.

Christmas is coming soon...

The commercials are starting to air. My favorite is the Hershey's Kisses "Handbell" ad:

It's been around since 1990! That's got to be a record run for a Christmas commercial.

My new favorite is for The Gap: "We Three Kingz"

As a handbell ringer, I find both ads hilarious.


Other T.V.- I did watch House last week- "The Itch". I wasn't paying enough attention to it for some reason, but it did have some cute Cuddy/Wilson/House bits. When it repeats, I'll give it my full attention!

A funny blast from the past!

Found this Steve Martin clip- "King Tut". I remember it from Saturday Night Live, but this clip is from one of his concerts.
