I was traumatized when Mary Ingalls went blind on Little House on the Prairie. Was horrified at the thought that people could lose their vision. Was on the path to becoming an optometrist from that day on.

My review of Indulge in St. Andrew’s:
So fun! The Wine, Beer and Spirits Trail made me feel like I was in Frosh week (in the olden days before campuses started being socially responsible) being peer-pressured in to playing drinking games. 10/10, 5 stars, would recommend.

I have only the vaguest idea as to what Grey’s Anatomy is all about. (Bunch of good-looking doctors sleeping together and every once in a while one of them dies?)
Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?
I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

One thing that didn’t age well in ‘80s music is the omnipresent sax solo.
