Oysters and mac n’ cheese for this rainy Monday night. Classy shit in this French-American house.

I was in 7th grade watching this the night it aired. I loved every second, feeling it was sophisticated beyond the scope of my 12-year-old brain. All I knew was that I did not want to go to school, knowing a cooler life existed outside of Middle School on Long Island. As an unwilling transplant from Downtown NYC, the forever “weird girl from the city,” I sort of hated everyone.
On this day 32 years ago, in 1994, Nirvana's "MTV Unplugged in New York" was released.
It is considered the greatest Unplugged performance ever made.

I saw the first Halloween when I was 7 because babysitting in the 80s was a remote control. But now my 11-year-old wants to see it and I’m hesitating because this movie still scares me. 😬 Decisions…

I remember the first time I saw this video. I was 12. At my aunt's house for Sunday pasta. I filed papers at my mom's office to make money to buy the CD. My First CD.
I haven't been the same since.

Taking an Italian class in France where being fluent in French is mandatory to be able to follow along. The layers of translations is giving my brain quite the workout.

Ordered the book literally yesterday to get the back story on this one scene. Not reading the comments for spoilers! (Also, it's been on my mental TBR for years now.)
This is one of the strangest images in movie history, and “The Shinning” never explains it. To understand it, you have to go back to Stephen King's book.
Years earlier, the hotel belonged to Horace Derwent, a rich and powerful man. Roger was his lover, and he would do anything to please him.
One night, at a costume party, Derwent decided to humiliate Roger in front of everyone. He made him wear a dog costume, crawl on the floor, and do tricks like a pet. If Roger obeyed, Derwent promised, they would spend the night together.
That cruel night never left the hotel. It became one of its many ghosts. When Kubrick made the film, he turned the dog into a bear and cut almost the whole story, leaving only that disturbing moment.

My American mind made a snap judgement that sounded like "Dur Dur D’etre Bebe".... but no, wrong Jordy.
Will now go back to writing my manuscript set in another time, and another place.

A quiet coffee shop, coming-of-age drama that came into my life a year before I become a coffee shop college girl thrown into her own dramas.
As a curly-haired girl, downtown New Yorker, overthinker, and sweater-lover, I am forever in debt to this show.

Every year I miss the San Gennaro feast, I get homesick. As a downtown NYC kid, I used to go to this with my parents, and then as teen (accompanying my best friend who was always on the hunt for her perfect Italian-American boyfriend 😅) it was thee place to be, and so on...but it's been years. Seeing this video I can smell the sausage and peppers, and the zeppole, loving that the tradition that has always felt like home to me, truly lives on.
So proud to be an Italian-American New Yorker. 🇮🇹🇺🇸
🚨🇮🇹 Little Italy, New York, is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Feast of San Gennaro!
Nobody does it quite like the Italian-Americans! 🇮🇹🇺🇸
It runs through September 27

Need to register this with @rewatching90210 I just finished the Lydia Leeds episode where Brandon gets a brush of fame. And Brenda is pissed. Right after we had Brandon running student council. And Brenda is pissed. I was 9 when I saw these episodes so I guess I never realized what a terrible sister Brenda is. It’s comical! She makes literally everything about her and when it doesn’t work out for Brandon she’s nice to him again. 😭 Can we please discuss?

El jazz no es aburrido, aburrida es la música de ahora. En 1959 #DaveBrubeck rompió todas las reglas con #TakeFive, metiendo un ritmo imposible que se convirtió en el tema de jazz más vendido de la historia. Elegancia y clase pura en 5 minutos. 🎷🥃
Algorithm training in progress.
Also: This clip steered my high school taste into some pretty wild territory. Ween was my gateway to Zappa was my gateway to Beefheart and so on and so on…

I'm rewatching the entire series as well and I am here to report that this show has aged beautifully. @rewatching90210 Hi, there! I'm joining your party!
I'm on Season 1. Just finished "Slumber Party" and I cannot believe that I remember actual lines from an episode I saw when I was 9.
So I’m going to be rewatching 90210 and taking poor quality screen shots and tweeting about random things about the show. Hope u enjoy it!

Respectfully disagree here. Just like 80s teens had a fetish with the 50s, us 90s teens had it with the 60s.
I can still see my brother’s huge Zeppelin Swan Song poster, see the piles of live Dead cassettes at a boyfriend’s house, and hear my mom saying, “You kids are listening to ‘Axis Bold As Love?!’ Do you know I was your age when…”
This doesn’t mean we didn’t listen to current music. Alongside our Jim Morrison poster was a Kurt Cobain one. The 60s was definitely a thing.
