Ah, my freshman year of college.  Which is probably why I completely forgot that Alan quit his job at the grocery store and bought a camping store.  Like, completely completely.  I mean, I just watched these episodes and I still don’t remember the camping store.  Things I did remember: Eric on Singled Out (man, remember Singled Out? That show was so best.), Shawn in drag (so hot), Topanga moving to Shittsburgh (yeah, I said it), and Mr. Turner’s motorcycle accident (eep!).  I especially appreciated the work the writers did this season to develop Eric into an actual multifaceted human being; it’s a shame it didn’t stick

It took a couple months for the BMW fans to find each other, but once we did, we always made sure one of us taped it (man, remember VCRs?  THE NINETIES) every Friday.  And then we’d all get together Monday night to watch it (and the last Thursday’s episode of Friends).  With one exception, we’re all still BFFs.  BMW people are the best people.

What kind of bird are you?

I stopped with the cool stuff.

The other day @onthestorm tweeted a good twit: “I didn’t know I had a 30-inch waist until I was 20 years old. #thankyou90sfashion.”  And then, “Also, my 40-inch waist pants were seen by millions of people a week. #screwyou90sfashion.”

SO TRUE.

I have a lot of thoughts on Season 3, some a little conflicted.  Eric’s at about 75% doofus, which pains me beyond belief.  Topanga and Cory do a whole lot of making out, which kinda gives me the creeps.  The new Morgan isn’t nearly as adorable as the old Morgan.  But I loved the relationship between Jonathan and Shawn, and I absolutely adored getting to see more of Feeny’s history (Feeney rulez 4eva!!!!1!1!!! amirite?).  Also: Brittany Murphy!  Mena Suvari! Three of four Monkees!  In short, still delightful.
