DH just emailed me to say that FedEx has delivered my new computer.
That means I get to fake a heart attack and go home early, right?
You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really!

Isn't it almost time to go, Jess?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And, with a heart attack, you can just take the long weekend.

People will want to visit you. Fake a stomach ailment -- they'll leave you alone with your new computer.

Heart attack to leave, then call in and say it was digestive.

It's only 5 here, and I don't get off work until 6.
That's a WHOLE EXTRA HOUR I could be at home setting up my lovely new G5.
And, with a heart attack, you can just take the long weekend.
See? It's a totally foolproof plan.

Oh, that's a good point.]

What is even happening?
-t has the right mix, I think.
And Jessica, if you're still logged on and at work, I'm thinking you're an imposter.
I'm sure I did, but I remember about 3 videos from the 80s. And they have Prince in themLittle Red Corvette, When Doves Cry, and 1999?

Good bet. I didn't have MTV until the early 90s, so if it wasn't on Top Of The Pops, I didn't see it. And if it wasn't solidly top ten, I didn't see it twice.
I'm glad (sad) to see I was right in my suspicions. Man, the Brits were such downers in the 80s. What up with that?

Most memorable 1980s music video? The unedited "Relax"--all those writhing bodies left an indelible mark on my teenaged brain. Also "Take on Me," for the comic-y goodness and pretty boys of A-Ha.

For me, the two are "Ashes To Ashes" since it was the first video I'd ever seen, and what an introduction to the surreal.
After that ... probably "I Want Your Sex" by George Michael.
Okay, I lied. More than three, no Prince.
