Livin' In The 90s Month: Day Four

movies:

• grosse pointe blank (1997) the dude (benny urquidez) who plays the assassin stalking john cusack is so suitably creepy looking. he's a famous kickboxer in real life & trained cusack, who took an interest in the sport after playing a kickboxer in say anything (is there anything that man can't do?! john cusack #1 star of my heart xx!!oo).

tv shows:

• sliders (1995-2000) season one, eps 4-10. the first two seasons had some cool recurring characters that they'd run into on every world they visited, doing the same job. my favourites are the cab driver & the hotel manager (played by will sasso, who i loved on MAD TV & other bits and pieces).

• frasier (1993-2004) season one, eps 2-3. gah, the early days of niles' infatuation with daphne are the sweetest!
• seinfeld (1989-1998) season one, ep 2. awkward first season, but it's only 5 episodes long & worth a look to see what changes were made (way good move recasting jerry's dad).

food & drink:

• awful coffee in a new mug given to me by a patient. his exact words as he handed it to me were "think of pussy as you drink from it". goddamn.

• le snak! le snak is so damn 90s. little biscuit/dip combos in general, really. 

• weis mango & cream bar.

• leftover sundried tomato pasta.

• minties & fantales.

• gin & tonic x a few...

• raspberry sunnyboy.

• mountain dew & babybel.

musings/other:

even the bus is supporting my 90s-ness! '96 met prices stuck in one of those notice slot thingys.

and lastly, a note about a show i loved, but am unable to get my hands on, bar a few youtube clips. the extraordinary (1993-96) was a very popular show hosted by warwick moss, presenting allegedly true stories of the paranormal. the best part of the show was not the stories themselves, but moss' introductions & the opening & closing credits.

full frontal did a pretty good goof on it, which i can't find :(
