OD-ing on nostalgia...again

I`m resigned to my fate. My life will forever be intertwined with "Beverly Hills, 90210." I remember watching the first episode back in 4th grade and have been haunted by re-runs ever since. The college and post-college years are lame and not worth considering. The high school years are just kickass. As a hardcore "My so-called-lifer" I recognize that not all high school experiences: 1. include such beautiful people, 2. contain such good lighting, 3. and are interjected with such hip music (anyone remember Jeremy Jordan?). Which is why I throw myself into marathons of Claire Danes` grungy angst with an almost religious fervor. However, sometimes you just want to be entertained. In English.

Speaking of the glorious early 90`s. Jarvis Cocker just sauntered into my life with a voice that at least eight other dudes share on my I-Pod. No worries, who knew that singing about distinct economic classes would get me humming along in public places. Don`t even get me started on The Pogues --another decade, another nostalgia trip.
