I've been unusually nostalgic lately. I've been going through old photos, facebook stalking old classmates, and thinking about the days before I had a sister 14 years my junior and had a green card and spent my days just thinking about going to lectures, but not actually going. I've always said I was so ready to grow up, and that I can't wait to be 21, especially with so many friends stateside who are older than me and yell at me for not being able to drink. However, I too suffer from the cliché of pining for the days when life was 'simple', when the things you pondered most over in your life were when you were next allowed to have someone over to your house or what you were going to have for supper that night or what you wanted for your birthday.

TV is a good way to be nostalgic. 80s cartoons in particular. There are so many on this side of the pond that are so infamous so many people from multiple generations know about them. Watching these I find myself remembering all those times on Saturday mornings when you would be up absurdly early (I know most children do this as I am reminded of it constantly– there are kids who live next door and like to use this time in the day to scream their heads off as loud as possible) and watch telly with a blanket until one of my parents would come in and tell me I had to get dressed. I found this website, Retrojunk.com, which has got so much of these shows, plus commercials and movie info. It's pretty sweet if you're looking for a way to waste time. Which I am. always.

Anyway, these are the ones I wanted to share (just the intros) because they happen to be absolutely classic, and the kind of stuff that one just doesn't see anymore (sad times!)






Much love. x

I know I've heard these themes ("feem-tunes" if you will) somewhere...hmm it must be on some amazing mix I have or something. But I never realized how awesome the shows truly were. I don't know what I would do without you.
