Oh, geez...heavy duty nostalgia
Came across this while I was looking for something completely different and wanted to share it. It comes from a Flickr member screennamed Zero G, who also put together a list of other things that happened in '77.
He's from the UK, but there's enough crossover that if you're like me you'll recognize more than a few things. Also a personal essay and annotations of the above collage.

Random Flickr Blogging 2550
Nothing is surrealist to the heartbroken
| You Are Surrealism |
 Dreamy and idealistic, you've created a world that is all your own. It's very likely that you've either dabbled in drugs or are naturally trippy. You are always trying to push beyond the boundaries of your culture and society. You believe that art, love, and freedom can change the world. |
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I think if I'd be any Captain Jack it'd be this blogs designated man-crush
as played by John Barrowman on Doctor Who...
... (not, I repeat, not in Torchwood-don't get me started)
I'm pretty okay with this
Even if Boba Fett didn't do much more than look pretty badass...he didn't need to. On the other glove, the last time I took a quiz like this I got:
You are Qui-Gon JinnSo. From maverick, atypical Jedi Master to legendary bounty hunter in just under a year and a half. I have a bad feeling about this...
Overall, you're a pretty well balanced person. But maybe you focus a little too much on the here and now. Think about the future before it's too late.
Meatballs
...was the movie from which this still and screenplay excerpt were taken. Still one of my most-quoted movies, and for my money one of the seven or eight really good movie comedies of the past 30 years.

Random confessions of a man who loves full animation
Anime is not for me. Quite frankly, it repulses me. If it were up to me, young women like this who wear costumes and wigs to make themselves look like Anime characters would be taxed 
to my bed.
No-not taxed. What is the word? Oh-welcomed!

Charisma of Magritte
Magritte's Golconda. A famous work of the abstract, painted in 1953.
Such hats were a recurring element in the work of the highly imaginative-dare I say enlightened?-master painter; wonderful and inspiring.
But, I know, you say, what is really missing here? What could possibly make this image more fascinating and seductive than it already is?
Charisma Carpenter in the nude, of course.

We'll always be Together in electric dreams
When you were young and on your own
how did it feel to be alone?
I was always thinking
games that I was playing
trying to make the best of my time.
We'll always be Together in electric dreams
this is where we all fall out
I touch my hand
and I can hear her dance
And I see you glowing
I always, I always, I always, I always...
Dream, dream in red
Yes...
Lyrics one "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" by Neil Young, though I'm thinking of the St. Etienne version.
