In 1972...
I've been watching the A-team again having now succesfully got the whole first series on DVD (along with the first series of Knight Rider, but that one is a birthday present so I have to wait), and I forgot how much fun it is. Despite the fact the plots are the most formulaic thing since Power Rangers (that is in fact wrong, as the A-team came before Power Rangers, but screw it), with the entire basic plot always being the same, and always featuring the same elements (stupid costumes, hilarious Mr T moments and the like) it's still real fun. And, it doesn't do what far too many TV shows and movies do these days, and always make sure the team are in real danger ALL the time, and always seem to be losing. Sure, it's dramatic, but it's also boring after a while, so when you watch the A-team and watch them kicking ass, and always seeming to be on top (even when captured), it's brilliant fun. So, once again, my faith has risen in 80's TV after Firefly had me liking a modern day serious TV show. Modern day comedies are still great to. Well, some are.
Speaking of comedies, I picked up the Family Guy Season 3 DVDs for a tenner in Woolworths, which, even though I ain't watched them yet (I have the A-team to watch first), I know are great because I borrowed the first two off Boote. Normally, I wouldn't buy a tv series on DVD while I've got one to watch, but at that price I couldn't really miss them, and niether can you. Go buy Family Guy.
Ahem. Anyway, more on the topic of relevant things in my life, I've got an interview at Reading now (as well as Exeter, but I think I mentioned that before) and an offer from Plymouth. Plymouth's offer is fairly easy to get, three C's, and for Drama yet not asking an interview seems stupid, but at least I have a choice. Reading's standard offer seems to be three B's, which I can get, so I hope I pass the interview.
Even if, because the God's love me so, it's on my 18th Birthday. Bastards. Most people spend their 18th getting drunk and having fun. I'm having an interview at Reading. Yippiekiyay.
