Sometimes, when I’m working with the OBG’s, listening to the soft rock radio station, I get a glimpse into what I’d be like had I come of age in the 70s/80s.

What I’ve learned about 1980’s Meredith: I’d totally do George Michael.
Okay, so there’s a lot of weird stuff on youtube. Given. But this is maybe the most bizarre video I have ever seen (and once, I youtubed a bunch of Enya videos — have you ever seen an Enya video? Talk about fucked up…).

Old Men New Kids on the Block were on the Today Show this morning. It was like watching a Celebrex commercial. You know how there’s been a revival to bring the 80’s back? I think this appearance just killed that revival…
