Me too! Except my original cassette was stolen out of my purse in the choir room, in 9th grade. Nothing else was taken. Although to be fair, all that was really in there was about $2.00, a comb, and a half-used lip gloss.
I still have the replacement cassette and the eventual CD (which I think was secondhand, but they…

The church where I work has a very nice library, and I’ve been combing through the YA section. So far this month, I’ve read – all for the first time:

Or it's me, and I have to switch to my bifocals (from my cute regular nearsighted-person glasses) so I can read stuff without using my arms as selfie sticks.

…while the dot-matrix printer slowly, slowly prints out a picture of the last thing the murder victim saw: a guy in a diving suit.

I don't think I ever made it to Darke County - we were the southern edge of all the leagues and conferences for our school, and went north for everything. And yet, looking at Wikipedia, our main streets appear very similar. Good old Second Empire architecture…

I have been that cosplayer. Perhaps expecting the people at the Barbie convention to recognize Pizzazz from Jem & The Holograms was a stretch, but the theme was Barbie & the Rockers, and the entertainment - provided by Mattel itself - included Barbie and her Rockers insulting Jem amongst themselves. Oh, well.

I am proud to say that my mother - born in 1941 - started giving me little booklets explaining sex and reproduction when I was 8 - very appropriate, even titled "A Doctor Talks to 8- to 10-year olds," followed up by "A Doctor Talks to 10-to 12-year olds."

Well, the last film I saw with action taking place in a swimming pool was "Upstream Color," so surely I can count on this film being similar?

I can empathize totally with that. Mars is even worse for situations when standing and conducting are frowned upon.

Except it's not the cervix (adding some flexibility/dimension to an internal organ is relatively easy, in evolutionary terms) that's the problem - it's the opening in the pelvic bone, since the dimensions and shape of the pelvis affect our trademark ability to walk upright. You can only reshape it so far before the…

Yeah, I have to be in a certain mood to let Monster Magnet play unskipped - or just needing noise. But it was $1.99 at Goodwill, so they gained nothing and I only lost a little.

I'm 45, and female.
The main contributing factors to the eclecticism include going on treasure hunts in the music section at Goodwill, subscribing to a song-a-day podcast from local indie station The Current since 2008 or so, and a big involvement with a college radio station (Radio K) in its prime - as a…

I have some very annoying chatty coworkers (who also often hit the trifecta of being racist, homophobic, and sexist as well, woo hoo,) so I created "Semi-hardcore work mix" to drown out their voices. It includes Alice in Chains, Mad Season, Monster Magnet, the Mortal Kombat soundtrack, the Gone in 60 Seconds…

The only non-ironic wearing of swastikas I've ever seen was in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. At Glenbrook Mall, in the late 80's.

We had scholastic bowl meets in Hicksville, Ohio. It's a real place, named after one Henry Hicks.

There are some very cool natural features of Ohio - the Ohio River Valley can be stunning, and there are very cool rock formations up near Toledo, and several fossil sites [Ordovician cephalopods woo! Plus mastodons sinking into swamps, meaning I now have photos of life-sized models of both kinds of giant extinct…

Living up to my name, I present a list of titles of paintings by Belgian 20th century painter Paul Delvaux, often classed as a surrealist, though not particularly self-identified as such. I am very fond of these. I'll let you do your own image searching. If you just start with his name, you will get nudes aplenty.

"L-l-looks like d-d-double trouble!"

Me too, although I was 13 in 1983.

The third Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Ugh.
