“i’m nellin’ like magellan”

a friend signed my 8th grade yearbook with something to the effect of “i’d love to hang with you this summer but i know you’ll be spending all your time with alana,” the girl i had an all-too-obvious crush on for a huge percentage of my teenage years. i ran to the office demanding a new yearbook because i hadn’t gotten alana to sign it yet, and god forbid she be reminded for the 5 millionth time i had a crush on her. they refused but taped a piece of scrap paper over the offending quote. of course, alana (and probably everybody else) peeled back the tape to reveal the offense within, and watching that happen from across the room in 5th period science was about as cheek-burningly embarrassing an experience as i had had. in retrospect, i must have wanted it to happen, though. otherwise, why didn’t i just sharpie that shit out? being a teenager is hard.

the thirtysomething recaps were my favorite thing ever. i would love more recaps of terrible, and not so terrible, old shows that are on netflix instant, we could all watch along. have you watched numbers? that is a terrible show. joel fleishman is in it (HI JOEL!), and so is that dude from taxi. what about magnum p.i.? that is also an awful show, the dude with the mustache that isn’t burt reynolds is in it. studio 60 on the sunset strip? it was fun to wait every week to talk about something that aired 20 years before. buffy, angel, twin peaks. the possibilities are endless (not really, but sorta).
