I am Gen-X but sometimes I don't deserve my Gen-X card. I never watched Empire Records in the 90s, mostly because I couldn't stand Liv Tyler (I've since come to terms with her) and I was too cool for "popular" movies.
I guess it started garnering attention again about... 6-7 years ago because I kept seeing people saying "Happy Rex Manning Day" on April 8th. I finally was like "WTF is this?" and people were downright SHOCKED I didn't know what they were talking about.
Well, of course, it's from Empire Records. So, I decided I needed to watch that movie and familiarize myself with this Rex Manning. WHY did I wait so long? That movie is the PERFECT amount of 90s cheesiness and nostalgia, and if anyone knows me, I am STUCK in the 90s and always wishing it was still the 90s, so I loved every second. Liv Tyler wasn't even bad in the movie. I loved it!
I saw this pattern yesterday and purchased it, and while it's stitched up late, the spirit of the 90s, Rex Manning Day, and Empire Records is still strong! The pattern is by Bitch Stitchery Crafts on Etsy.
Tonight, Allen and I are going to Swartout Cemetery and then we will have to get everything together for the weekend. I’m sort of excited. I really wanna make Manicotti and I wanna make some oatmeal cookies next week too so I want to get some stuff at Whole Foods this weekend. We also want to go out for a date night. I want to go to Unicorniverse Sunday as well and then we will come home after our meeting with Adrienne. I thought for a split second about getting a room for another night and going to Value Day but I dunno...
