I told my mother about these recaps. "Hope seems really awful," I said. "Oh my god, in the '80s everyone wanted to be Hope! Your aunt and I would call each other during the commercials, and she'd say 'I'm totally Hope!' and I'd say 'No, you can't be Hope, I'm Hope!'"
In other news, I think I know what DVD set my mother is getting for Christmas.

Or John Belushi.

Haha, yes! Class of '03. I think they lost like $60,000 on what I had forgotten was entitled "Beach Blast!"

In '99 my college put on an ill-advised concert headlined by Smashmouth, with the BEP and Reel Big Fish supporting. It lost tons of money, because ska fans don't tend to like hiphop and vice versa, and neither of them really want to see mainstream pop, but I do remember the BEP being decent. I also remember that the printers spelled it "Realting Fish" on the tickets.
Oh, and that "Request Line" song they did with Macy Gray was pretty good. Basically, everything before they added Stacy from "Kids Incorporated" was probably good.

Every single day on my commute I have to turn onto a road that made me snarl "Wiiiiiiildcat" under my breath for like the first three months of my new job.

So, when My So-Called Life started, the big deal was that it was done by the thirtysomething people. When I watched it (first the original airing, then the later MTV reruns), I was like "omg this is so my life." My mother watched thirtysomething when it aired, and she was like "omg this is so my life." Conclusion: I think I had better not rewatch MSCL any time soon, because I'm pretty sure I'll discover that a) my life was awful, b) the show was awful, or c) both.

In high school one of the biggest nerds (annual Halloween costume: Star Trek: TNG uniform) auditioned for the school play senior year because he had a crush on a cheerleader who was trying out. He was cast as one of the leads and was somehow catapulted into high school stardom -- all the popular girls decided he was adorable, sang songs about him in the hallways, and elected him prom king (not even ironically!) It was seriously some weirdo high school movie shit. Meanwhile I, a girl nerd who had tried out unsuccessfully for ten or twelve shows and been friendly with the guy for years, painted sets in obscurity once again.

I am going to pre-emptively add Liz Rose onto my list of composers with terrifying powers of catchiness -- I long ago gave myself a pass for anything Max Martin writes, because "Oops I Did It Again" and "Since U Been Gone" and whatever Pink's new single is called will earworm me no matter what I do. Damn you, Swedish pop-song writers!

Hey, I live in Lakewood. Is it just us and Australians here?
