Ok, I’ve got to order these as a little present for my little girls. Though I suspect I may end up having more fun with the dolls than them. I wonder if it comes with a Courtney Love grunge princess?

Who remembers the Sneaker Pimps? This was a favorite when the night was winding down.
I have finally decided to go the new media route and publish my book, Love Lost on Cloud 9, in ebook format at Smashwords.com
Let’s say I’m really green, and wanted to save the trees… Yeah. Let’s say that.
Anyway, the story takes place in the 90s. I wrote it a few years ago while I was pregnant with my third. I was experiencing crazy writer’s block on a different project, and just wanted to try something new. I started with a personal experience (the first day of college), created a character similar to myself (though not the same), and set her free to make different decisions than I made when starting out myself. It was pretty interesting to mix fact and fiction so tightly, and my character, Greer Bennett, ends up taking a wildly different journey than I ever did.

Back in the day (1993 to be exact) my roommate and I would put some Nirvana or Pearl Jam or any number of flannel-loving Seattle bands in the CD player, and plunk a big ol’ videotape in the VCR to watch Wayne’s World on mute while we donned our Docs and red lipstick for a night out partying. I was thinking about the movie today, and thought it fitting for a Friday night.
Ok, these are in no particular order. I’ve seen most, but coming up with the list, I realized that there are a few that I remember wanting to see, but never got around to it. I’m sure I was studying… (Thank God for short-term memory loss!)
1. Flatliners (Death, medical students, and Julia and Keifer in their younger, fresher years. Can’t go wrong!)
2. Misery (Had to get one in for my fellow Mainer, Stephen King)
3. Edward Scissorhands (Johnny Depp can even make scissors sexy.)
4. Avalon (One of the ones I missed back in the day. Putting in my Netflix queue today)
5. Mermaids (A lot of people missed this one, but it is a good story. And a young Christina Ricci is impressive as the younger sister.)
6. Mo Better Blues (A Spike Lee Joint.)
7. The Grifters (Remember Annette Bening?)
8. Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! (Who says you can’t woo the girl of your dreams by tying her up?)
9. Pump Up the Volume (A personal favorite from 1990. Haven’t seen it in along time, so I don’t know how it holds up. Put that in the Netflix queue and I’ll get back to you.)
10. Cinema Paradiso (Good story-telling is always worth another viewing.)
Just try and not dance when this is on.
No Doubt got together recently to play a fundraising concert for the Bridge School. Gwen looks gorgeous, and they sound great!

In honor of the end of daylight savings and the darkness at 4pm, I post this as my 90s Moment of the Day
Best 90s Movie?????
My husband and I like to recast classic movies while relaxing on Friday nights with a bottle of wine. We were trying to think of a good 90s flick to recast with today’s actors, and I think Pulp Fiction would be a good one. Here’s a little inspiration for your own recast:
