Nineteen Years Since the Last Show
I had a frustrating day today, and I just went for an evening run. I can't say that I'm becoming a better runner -- I don't have time to do it enough -- but it definitely clears my head to sweat some of my annoyance out.
If you're going to pick up the habit, go get fitted properly for a pair of running shoes. It'll make a huge difference. Seriously.
In more exciting news, I have procured two tickets to see the New Kids on the Block reunion tour, and Beth is coming with me. I'm kind of embarrassed about this, but not enough not to share it with you.
NKOTB was the only famous-person-crush I had as a tween. I'm glad I it out of my system by the time I finished 7th grade. While I technically grew up in the '80s, it was the late '80s and early to mid '90s where I felt like I came of age. Before that, I was fairly oblivious to the world around me. I was aware of cultural phenomenons, but I didn't really live and breathe them like I started to around the age of 11.
Anyway, I have insanely fond memories of listening to my NKOTB tapes while playing Nintendo (the same Nintendo I have in my current apartment -- original NES -- and yes, it still works!). I went to one New Kids concert at the Buffalo Aud on November 9, 1989, with my friends Erin and Dana. Erin's older sister and her friend "chaperoned" us, and we went without adults.
I'm hoping at least one of my old New Kids tees still fits me. They're in a box, in the attic, in Buffalo.
While I'm not embarrassed to admit to going to the show, I was embarrassed today when my iPhone rang at work, playing my new ringtone loudly. ("Cover Girl")
Ah, they look so young. And so gay.

"Oh-oh-oh, she's my cover girl!"
Ah, one of my faves. Do you remember the dance that went along with that one? It was some sort of a chugging movement while dragging the microphone. I was also fond of "Please Don't Go Girl."
