Blast.

From. The. Past.

I no longer watch ER. I haven't watched it in years. But I used to. I watched it every Thursday night after Friends and a bunch of other shows i can no longer remember.
So last night after 30-Rock I had the tv on in the back ground and ER was on.
And then there they were, Carol Hatheway, Doug Ross, John Carter, and Peter Benton.
I don't know why, but it made me happy to see those originals back. Mostly because it brought me back to a completely different time in my life. The last half of the 90's are where i spent my early 20's... Lots of memories. My life is so different now, or I am. Both.
I had no idea what was happening on last nights episode, and I didn't really care... I just got pretty nostalgic seeing those old cast members float across the screen.
And how cool that George Clooney isn't too Hollywood now to come back to his old stomping grounds.
Nothing annoys me more when actors say, I just want to put that character behind me.
Um hello, without that character, you wouldn't be where you are now!
Isn't it funny how certain television shows bring you back? Are there other shows out there that you love and bring back memories?

Sadly, I'm still watching 'em via Netflix and the like. They just don't make TV shows like they used to (sniff)

I watched some of ER last night too! It felt refreshing to see old faces...especially George's! This past year I have been watching a lot of re-runs of the Cosby Show which was definitely a fave of mine growing up. I also used to love Growing Pains and Oh...I can't remember the name...you know...Michael J. Fox, Justine Bateman...I'm sure I'll remember as soon as I hit the comment button. OH- and I loved Party of Five too! Those were the days, huh?

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
