Following Homer's Lead
I've written extensively about how much I loved The Simpsons. I've probably seen every episode from the first six seasons 20-30 times each by now. I watched them when they first aired, on VHS, in syndication, on DVD, streamed from the web, with my kids and by myself.
This weekend, the kids and I revisited season five. That's a tremendous season, possibly the best of all. It includes Homer Goes to College, which includes this shot of Homer's cinder block bookshelf.
I first watched Homer Goes to College on October 14, 1993. A couple of years later, when I was living off campus at Charles Street and Yonge, I followed Homer's lead and built a similar bookshelf. Below is a photo of the only photo I have of this bookcase that served me well in university.
I've still got that Pulp Fiction poster hanging in my basement.

& how many of you still have a few milk crates (that housed LPs so perfectly) kicking around the house somewhere?

February 5, 2017 @ 4:33 PMI loved the Simpsons growin up. I agree, season 5 is the best one. I haven't watched it recently though. Maybe I should start 😊

February 6, 2017 @ 10:46 AMI never did build the concrete block shelves ,(which i first came across at a friends place in about 1978ish ) but i still have one milk crate that until about 15 months ago was still the container for my vinyl.
