Things that made me feel old...

[vervet_monkey]

Yesterday was conspiring to make me feel old:

 Me: So how old do you think is too old to go to University?
Student 1: Really old
Me: OK, can anyone take a guess at a number?
Student 2: 21
Me: ?!

 

Student: My Mum brought me all the Harry Potter books.

Me: That was nice of her, we had to wait for JK Rowling to finish writing in between reading them.

Student: That was AGES ago!

Me: ?!

 

Reading a journal online:

"So I thought I'd give watching Buffy a go, then all of a sudden Seeley Booth pops up on screen"

Me: Angel! Definitely Angel first!

 

I did then rectify the situation by watching 'The Eleventh Hour' and 'The Beast Below', followed by Castle. Speaking of, is it worth persisting with? The first ep was OK, but not brilliant, and opinions?

When I want to impress upon Chicklet that something was long ago I tell her it was Before She Was Born. That's impossibly long ago. *g*

Castle is my warm hug of a show (though it does get serious sometimes) and has only gotten better over the past three seasons so I'd say stick with it! I started watching for Castle and Alexis -- I love the father&daughter dynamic -- but now it's expanded to all the other characters, especially Ryan and Esposito.

LOL, it does amuse me their concept of time, I did have one group where we had gone through the whole, you have to be over 18 to go to University but there is no top limit, who were then trying to guess my age, starting at 16... Apparently any older then them is all the same.

Seems everyone likes Castle, will try to remember to persist with it!
