A time when you had no time. But oh, what fun i had. Worked on different archeaological digs all around Europe. I remember seeing Pulp Fiction. I loved that movie, still do. On the negative side was my grandmas death in Cancer in the early nineties. Always there, from the beginning, when i needed a hug or some pancakes. She was the best at both.

Went up to Canadian Forces Station Alert in the 90s for six months - that was a "trip". (Six months of daylight from beginning of March until beginning of September 1992).

Moved from Ontario to Alberta in early 90s, so that was somewhat of a culture shock (thought I was in a cowboy movie for heaven's sake!) I did end up learning to like it, though.

Then got posted to Winnipeg ('94), so I managed to do more moving in the 90s to different places than in the first 10 years I was in the military. Somehow I stayed pretty close to home in the first 10 years.

I know I did read quite a bit from the mid 90s to the end of the 90s without much TV. Strangely enough I went off of the Stephen King books :facepalm_smiley:

Glad I picked up 11/22/63 - that got me looking up a lot of books I had missed over the years. (plus it led me to the SKMB!) :lurve:

Remember the panic at the end? Millennium bug!

Some ex-in-laws were solid in their belief that this was the end of the world, the Second Coming, Armageddon, Rapture.

However, I must note that they did not quit their jobs and live out their purported last moments in merriment or prayer. At least I haven't heard any other predictions from them since.

I was living in California when it was supposed to fall into the ocean, and living on Earth when it was supposed to end - twice (2000, 2012) - so forgive me if I'm not taking apocalyptic warnings all that seriously.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but in the UK, national geographic have just started a 6 week series called the 90s: a decade that connected us. It looks back at the major stories, tv, film and music etc of the 90s. Last night's episode was about the Iraq war, bill Clinton, vanilla ice, rosanne, fresh prince of bel air, and the l.a.p.d racial tensions/riots, that had some shocking footage. Next week is about Kurt cobain amongst other things.
