Watched Frogs (1972) last week and then THIS accosted me in Michael’s 😅

Trying not to be sad that I haven’t been able to find these anywhere 😐 I hope Costco saw the demand and does a restock

Apparently they have Esprit stuff at Costco and I absolutely hate that place but I NEEEED!! Knowing my luck, I’ll brave the parking and the crowds and won’t even be able to find any 😩

I have such distinct memories of The Last Vampire coming out in May 1994 and reading it that summer on my beach towel in the backyard while Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun” played on my boombox

Early Cherry Coke advertising was creative, silly, and just fun to watch.

I didn’t have internet in my first apartment in 2001-2002 but I remember going to my parents house weekly to listen and comment on the Weezer demos they released while making Maladroit — what a time

How’s everyone feeling today ?

rialto art theater, broadway, columbus, georgia, 1982

Miserable people who come to the library and use all our services but complain about everythinggggggg — nothings too small! (Yesterday was a cabinet that squeaked when said person bumped into it and they caused a big fuss about the squeak)

Getting my period on the hottest day of the summer (so far) — fuck you very much universe

Bath and Bodywork’s hasn’t had my signature October scent for the last few years but this year …. It’s back! Pumpkin carving!! And the wallflower bottle is a little skull! 🎃💀 it’s the closest thing I’ve found to a real pumpkin smell that isn’t super cloying or overdone

Apparently they have Esprit stuff at Costco and I absolutely hate that place but I NEEEED!! Knowing my luck, I’ll brave the parking and the crowds and won’t even be able to find any 😩

This 1997 McDonald’s commercial cracks me up because I don’t remember this airing at all — like was it regional? I swear I’d recall giant chicken nuggets celebrating summer by playing baseball and running at the beach 🏖️

There’s a brand new Baby-Sitters Club book out and I somehow missed the memo that it’s a legit new super special co-authored by Ann herself and a bunch of longtime contributors/fans — like it’s so beautiful 😭

Essential reading 📖

The last two issues of Publishers Weekly have been the fall children’s preview (my fave issue all year!!) and fall comics and graphic novels preview 🎃🍂🎃

I know a lot of kids go back to school in August but it’s whiplash to see the parenting Reddit talk about “the end of summer” being now when we’re deep in the middle of it — we don’t start school till September ha

Sorry for anyone in the field but are IT workers insufferable on principal ?

IMO, it’s absolutely too early to see this stuff and it drives me crazy how they roll out seasonal items months beforehand and then there’s nothing available when the actual season comes….yet I still smiled lol 😅

i've fallen...and i can't reach my coffee 😣

Have a deep emotional attachment to the font used in MTV’s video credits (Some digging says it’s a version of Kabel black or bold) Truly don’t even want to watch a music video without it. That’s my emotional support font 😭

Rewatching Netflix’s Fear Street (1978 for summer camp vibes) and I do NOT understand why some streamer hasn’t picked this up as a show ala Tales from the Darkside, Monsters, or Friday the 13th the series It’s a *perfect* spooky book series for one off stories set in a town where bad things happen

Was just thinking of those giant “no slip” wide bottomed coffee mugs that were everywhere in the 80s and 90s I loved how we all had at least one, normally advertising some product and plastic 😂

It is truly hard for me to convey how nostalgic and teenage a pastel satin a-line dress with a cardigan set makes me feel…like I have never wanted clothing more — with a cute headband, stacked jellie wedges or Mary Jane’s and some silver butterfly jewelry The epitome of dream style in 1995 for me 💕

Sometimes you find the *weirdest* shit on newspapers.com when scrolling 😳

So glad I spent tons of time uploading hundreds of personally made gifs to tenor so I could use them here hahahahahahhahahaha

I’m trying to veg out and watch the new Legally Blonde prequel show but honestly, it’s so hard to concentrate on a show that takes place where you live and uses music from when you were a teen like it feels ODD to see a fake version of your home lol 😆

I’m just so tired of everything fun on the internet getting bought out by the mega rich and then ruined … like nothing functions well anymore. Eventually we’ll all just stop signing up for something new because what’s the point 😩
