tied to the '90s

I went to watch the marathon today. Seven years I've been living in a neighborhood they run through, this is the first time I've made it. So lazy. Anyway, I worked at making up for it, clapping until my hands cracked and "whoo!"ing until I lost my voice. It was pretty exciting stuff.

Do you watch "The Alternative" on VH1 Classic? Because it is the perfect end to an excellent night of television (Sunday kicks all sorts of ass, you know) for dorks like me who need to relive their musical glory days (and they are bigging up 1991 lovely tonight). Anyway, why did I never notice how cute the rest of Midnight Oil was? Maybe if I was always so busy enjoying Peter Garrett's dancing. PS Who knew Peter Garrett became a politician? Whoa. I miss everything. Anyway, yes, I love this show. Except now all of a sudden it is playing new wave. Hello? They play that all day anyway. Boo!

Today was the birthday of a favorite rock star of mine. I won't reveal his age, but I can't believe that 30th birthday concert (and my first trip to Canada) was six years ago! Also, that my own 30th birthday is next year. Geez.
