Realizations...
In no particular order:
While doing some reading related to work, I realized that kids that are graduating this academic year, were likely to have been born in 1986 and 1987. I'm not sure why, but that has just blown my mind.
I have also realized that I'm nearing obsession about the Up series. I've watched the first three (7-Up, 7+7, and 21-Up), and plan to get the rest from Netflix. I'm sure that I could easily Google to find out what has happened to this cohort of British people over the 40 years of the series, but I am trying to resist. Even just in watching the 1st 3 in the series, it is fascinating to watch how, particularly for the upper class kids, their predictions about education & employment at age 7 were often right on the money.
The new 90210 is just kinda blah. I liked seeing the old characters, but that's about it. It lacks the camp of Gossip Girl and the craziness of One Tree Hill. Oh well.
But there is other new TV to look forward to...I'm going to give Fringe a whirl, which I think starts next week. Yip yip!.
I *love* the 7-Up series. It's so amazing to watch the kids grow and change. Some personalities stayed exactly the same, but some changed a great deal. You'll want to watch without spoilers. Someone told me something that happens to one of the kids without telling me which one, and I kept waiting to see who it was going to be. I will not do the same to you :-)
Have a great weekend!
