Livin' In The 90s Month: Day Two


movies:
  • the faculty (1998) the makers of this film clearly had a thing for the terminator movies. there's a 'connor' family, inc. 'john connor', a 'professor furlong', and robert patrick plays one of the main bad guys. best cast, including another 90s mega babe, clea duvall.
 
 tv shows:
  • early edition (1996-2000) season one, eps 1-4. super duper underrated clever little show. one of my favourite things about watching shows from the 80s & 90s is playing 'hey, it's that guy/chick from blah blah!'. episode 3 gave me two of those moments:
cynthia nixon (sex & the city) playing a woman pregnant with twins, stuck in an elevator with chuck.
a pre-ally mcbeal jane krakowski, playing a horny doctor.
music:
  • pulp fiction soundtrack (1994) wiki says "many of the songs on the soundtrack were suggested to tarantino by musician boyd rice through their mutual friend allison anders". this i never knew, but makes perfect sense.
food & drink:
  • tea & dunkaroos! i had no idea these still existed!
  • babybel.
  • so many minties...
  • things i didn't realise before today: i hate yogo. foul, foul sludge. choc chips were good, but.
  • spring onion pancake.
  • chinese broccoli & veggie dumplings (not pictured).
  • popped into a korean supermarket while in box hill for dinner & found these wedged under a table!!! my old favourite flavour, no less! i haven't had snapple since the 90s, when snapple, oasis & fruitopia were all the rage in australia. and only $3 a pop!
musings/other:
the real reason minties exist is so you can do this with the wrappers.
