I really need to get back into my yoga routine but this summer-onset seasonal affective disorder shit is too real. I'm looking forward to some hiking and early fall swimming once the hellish mega heat is gone and the trails/beaches are less crowded.

It's nice to know that people everywhere rip off poor people and try to make it seem inventive and arty. And by "nice" I mean fuck that sort of thing.

Yeah, while watching the final seasons and occasionally throwing on earlier episodes sporadically, it became really apparent that Troy was the heart of the show. I'm fine with just pretending Community ended with the Season 3 finale.

These are well-illustrated, but, like, why is there so much of this sort of thing on the internet? Is it just the impulse to be able to say "I, too, have seen this pop culture thing that people keep talking about! I recognize things! We are living a shared experience!" ? I'm genuinely curious.

Mercutio was always the heart of the play, and Harold Perrineau was perfect in the role. It makes sense!

Happy belated birthday and congrats on the puppy!

Happy belated birthday!

I hung out with people on Friday night, we listened to Elliott Smith and TV on the Radio and reminisced about the 00s. Then I did nothing but write for all of Saturday and most of Sunday. I think my husband realized I was getting kind of shack happy from it and he took me out for the best fish and chips in the city.…

I was also in sixth grade! It was a great year to be becoming aware of pop culture and listening to various alternative bands, Britpop, etc. My BFFF and I went through a Monkees phase because Muchmusic played reruns all the time. We also loved the Beatles (Magical Mystery Tour was my favorite album, I forget what hers…

Thanks to CRTC content regulations, radio stations across the nation remind Canadians of the existence of BNL approximately every 20 minutes.

I still like Bush (or Bush X, as my Canadian brain will always auto-correct), for some reason. I'm pretty sure I'm alone in this among peers/friends/loved ones.

I remember girls earnestly singing along to "Lightning Crashes" in my dorm as late as 2004! What the hell, Live?

That's crazy. Pretty much every song on that album is better than Song 2.

Why is this so funny to me?

That 'We Are All Innocent' song makes me want to vomit everywhere and it's probably his 'nicest' singing.

I Mother Earth are easier/better to listen to on revisit than Our Lady Peace. It surprised me, because I'd loved the latter so much more at the time.

I secretly love 90s Canadian mainstream alternative more than most of the other stuff out at the time. I'll take Moist over Pearl Jam any day.

"Until It Sleeps" was on heavy rotation on Muchmusic in '96. Inexplicably, so was "One", and I think my 12 year old self instinctively understood that old Metallica was better than new Metallica.

Wow, you just listed almost everything I listened to in the early to mid aughts.

That's funny; I was watching an MTV special about Rock in 1998 and everyone was like 'Is rock dead?!' and I was laughing at how panicked they all seemed until it cut to two guys in polo shirts rocking out HARD to Matchbox 20 and I was like "Hmmm…they do have a point".
