I love the 80's

As a child of the 80's I have a great appreciation for leg warmers, the claw, and jelly bracelets. I love catching the nationally syndicated 80's radio broadcasts and just bought OMD's greatest hits (Tesla Girls is a personal favorite) as well as a few Wham songs on ITunes.

I loved Star Wars and couldn't wait for the prequels to be released. I always watched the news broadcasts of the fanatic Star Wars cult followers, but never thought they existed. I work in a cubical next to one now. It is phenomenal. As I write he is telling me all about the VHS, Laser Disc, and DVD releases of Star Wars (apparently the original version, as seen in theatres, will finally be released on DVD in September). He has 12 boxes of "action figures", I use the term lightly as the one that he just received is the Muppets news anchorman. Now that he has it unpacked and displayed on this desk I realize...it is pretty cool. In a "I am a classic IT nerd" kind of way.
