Parents Just Dont Understand - DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince

I need to buy Breathe Right strips for my dog. Maybe then she'd stop snoring.

I feel oddly conflicted about Guiding Light (one of mom's soaps) going off the air. On one hand, the show is terrible and I wish it weren't on every day. On the other hand, its been on forever (literally, it was on radio before TV) and mom's watched it forever. And by extension, I've at least been aware of it forever. odd.

so, one of the blogs i read--Gizmodo--has been doing a week dedicated to us audiophiles. Today, the writers have been talking about their first albums. And man oh man do i feel old. most of these kids (yes, kids) had albums from the 90s, as late as Let's Face It by Mighty Mighty Boss Tones (from 1997). My first albums were He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince and Hysteria by Def Leppard. I got both from a magazine drive in 2nd grade. So I was about 8-9 so that would have been like 1987. they were both on Cassette. I think i may still have them somewhere. ha... shortly thereafter, I got Labor of Love by UB40.

Dude, I think I have your UB40 tape in my room at home! When I'm home in June, I'll take a look.
