Bustin' Makes Me Feel Good

Lurking in the dusty halls of nostalgia with The Real Ghostbusters today, I not only had the sudden memory of, but also managed to find.....

THIS!

Weren't we just talking about colorforms yesterday? I used to love playing with this set, and can't say I hated the experience messing around with it today. It was the only non-girl toy I really had all my own. I had the token Barbies, tea sets and a couple Care Bears, but The Brother (as I sort of fondly call him behind his back) had ALL the toys I wanted- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers, GI Joe stuff from the cartoon. He was constantly complaining that I was taking them or he was breaking them... cause he was a boy and they like to eviscerate their stuff, which is why I stole his toys cause he didn't appreciate them. For some reason though I got the Ghostbusters colorform!

Luckily, I was a pretty fastidious kid, so as far as I know everything's still in the set. I do have a feeling however there's supposed to be a couple more slime green footprints....

(Egons proton pack seems to have misfired...)

This background is just too cool. All those little details really make it.

Saturday Morning Scares

FearNet's new Saturday morning Fun House premieres tomorrow morning at 10am. I've cheated the getting up part and I've set up to record.




I remember watching The Real Ghostbusters way back when--you know, when cartoons were good. I had a crush on Eegon, Peter, and yes, even Slimer (he was friendly then-- imaging my surprise when I saw the real movie!)
Crypt Keeper and Eerie Indiana came later, after I'd discovered the fine art of sleeping in, but I caught an episode now and then.

I know I could easily get the DVD's or track everything down on netflix, but I'm kind of jazzed for this!
