I have the POWER!!

So Sunday morning, as five of us sat there in Odie's apartment flipping through his DVDs, we came across He-Man and the Masters of the Universe - Seasons 1 & 2.




I was beside myself. I couldn't get it into the player fast enough, and once it was playing I was positively giddy. I really just couldn't believe how much I enjoyed watching a couple episodes of poorly animate kids' programming. I think this is what qualifies as nostagia, and it kinda scares me that I'm old enough to feel nostalgic. The fact that one of the guys was too young to remember He-Man at all (he's in first year) floored me, but I guess that does make sense.

I also couldn't believe that I actually remembered all their names, and even had vague recollections of the episodes themselves!

Okay, I think I need to stop talking here... perhaps I'm over stimulated... but I'm now curious how many other shows might have similar effects on me... a small list:

1. Transformers (don't even get me started about the movie this summer... judging by how much I like their existing - read: dated - animated one, I'm not sure I can discuss this rationally)
2. Thundercats
3. GoBots (yes, a cheap rip-off of Transformers, but damnit... I loved them, too! They were like Coke vs. Pepsi when I was 5!!)
4. G.I. Joe (without question... I need to find that movie somewhere)

I'm sure there's more... but my brain is about to explode. Maybe I should try decaf tomorrow morning....
