Livin' In The 90s Month: Day Three

 movies:
  • con air (1997)           OH.
 
MY.
GOD.
CON AIR.
it has all that, nic cage's accent AND john cusack! outstanding!

tv shows:
 fyvush finkel a.k.a. the grumpy arse teacher from boston public (he's also known for picket fences, which i've never paid much attention to, but might sometime this month).
 max wright a.k.a. norm's boss mr denby in the norm show & he was also the dad in ALF!
  • sliders (1995-2000) season one, eps 1-3. one of my favourite shows ever, despite it's tragic, heartbreaking, prolonged death. something i never realised until today is that the rather loathsome john landis served as executive producer.
  • the simpsons (1989-present) season one, ep 4. the one where they go to the company picnic at burns' mansion. the one thing that has always stuck with me from this episode is the jelly dessert marge makes to take along (probably a hint that it's not a very good episode...).
  • frasier (1993-2004) season one, ep 1. frasier is a good example of a show that was very strong & in it's groove right from the first episode, no awkward first season (probably helped by the fact that it's a spin-off). 
  • home improvement (1991-99) season one, eps 1-3.
food & drink:

  • dunkaroos & awful coffee.
  • weis mango & cream bar. i can't find the fruito flavour, the best flavour, anywhere! what's going on?!
  • kiwi strawberry snapple, soft boiled eggs, toast fingers.
  • fantales. i can't read the wrappers :(
  • raspberry sunnyboy. these are never as good as they tasted as a kid. the rock hard chunks of flavourless ice you get through parts of it are the worst.
  • sundried tomato pasta w/ stacks of parmesan.
  • MORE SNAPPLE.
  • hot cross bun.
musings/other:
my mother made all my party dresses until i was about 9 ('92). i loved each & every one of them & would want to wear them everywhere. i remember begging my brother to take me to the city with his friends while i was wearing this once. he was rightly mortified.
