an ongoing source of amusement in the pod at work among my coworkers is trying to figure out what i remember from the 80s, my awareness of pop culture (mostly in the form of movies from the 80s to present day) and boston sports. theories of why i lack this knowledge have ranged from lack of older siblings to being female to being a young 'un. but, really, it's not like there's a huge age difference; it ranges from three to eight years. whatever the reason, or through a combination of reasons, it's enough to "distort" my perception of the world through their eyes and warrant further "education" on these topics (with the aid of youtube, wikipedia, and imbd), adding more to the list of random things i learn at work.
i was five years old when the 80s ended, and i have no recollection of anything before the age of about four and a half from preschool. any reruns of tv shows that they can recall from the 80s that ran into the 90s, i probably missed because i was too busy watching cartoons (roadrunner, anyone? *beep* *beep*), nerding at the library, or going from piano to dance lessons. nowadays, i spend more time sleeping, working on my art, going to yoga, or trying out new recipes or restaurants than i do going to the movies on weekends (maybe once every 2 months or so at the rate i'm going). when it comes to sports, i admit i only follow game schedules to know which days of the week i should consider altering my commute home to avoid the mobs heading to fenway. blasphemy!
...i lead an exciting life.
and to be honest, i don't remember too much of the 90s either, but let's not share that with my coworkers, lest they start blasting 90s tv show theme songs from youtube and singing along to those too.
