Take me back to November 18, 2012

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

It is Sunday, November 18, 2012. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Scorpio. People are currently enjoying their weekend. However, because it's a Sunday, some are dreading the days ahead.

In America, Thanksgiving 2012 is just around the corner. It's November, so the evenings are getting darker and the days are getting colder. In America, the song "One More Night" by Maroon 5 is at the top of the singles charts, while "Candy" by Robbie Williams is the number-one song in the UK.

Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Skyfall is at the top of the box office. David Cameron is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Video rental stores such as Blockbuster are continuing to close their doors at the moment. Sadly, it seems as though they will be unable to compete with online streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu.

It's 2012, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Carly Rae Jepsen, Gotye, Flo Rida, LMFAO and Ellie Goulding. Microsoft has released their new operating system "Windows 8". The recent passing of "Amendment 64" means that Colorado has become the first US state to legalize the recreational use of marijuana.

The game "Call of Duty: Black Ops II" has just been released. Nintendo have recently released their new video game console "the Wii U". This is the first Nintendo console to support HD graphics. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Tony Lip, Aaron Swartz, Robert F. Chew, and Chris Kyle would all still be alive.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Mad Men", "Sons of Anarchy", "Community", and "Once Upon a Time". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Terraria", "Mass Effect 3", "Borderlands 2", and "Dishonored". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Dora the Explorer", "Peppa Pig", "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse", and "Phineas and Ferb".

Popular toys at the moment include Laser Zero Gravity, Jake and the Never Land Pirates figures, Hot Wheels RC Stealth Rides, and Lazer Stunt Chaser.
