Let’s make 2025 the year for bringing back both shoulder pads and Abby Fairgate Cunningham Ewing Sumner Fairgate’s style of eye make-up! Yeah. I do miss the 1980s. Not all of it. But quite a lot of it. Donna Mills rocked that look! Quintessential 80’s icon!

(Is she still among the living? Asking for a friend.)

The Lightning Seeds’ Pure (1990) They never really made a dent in the US market. Very sad.

The Misfit’s Astro Zombies (1986) Just a great song.

Man old man loves to sit at the foot of my desk and sleep while I do whatever it is I do.

Alanis Morissette’s Let’s Do It (Let’s Fall in Love) (2004) I generally like Cole Porter’s creative output. But I very much like Alanis Morissette’s cover from the 2004 film De-Lovely.

In 2025 a “furry bathroom” has an entirely different meaning. Alas, I’m old enough to remember when these were still common. May they never come back into style.

I am so excited for the soon to be dropped Season 2 of Andor! Andor is the best written Star Wars story ever. Chef’s kiss level!

Peggy Lee’s Fever (1958) I love Peggy Lee. I love Fever. I’m pretty sure I discovered this song because of Rita Moreno’s cover of it with Animal on The Muppet Show. THis current music video kind of sucks though.
