Coop! What happened to Jen?!?

I've been thinking about the good old days lately. Way back when times were simpler, when worries were few, when my friends weren't having babies all over the place: junior high and early high school. And since I didn't have any great times, to speak of, I've been reminicing about my forms of entertainment during those years. Recently, thanks to Netflix, I caught up on four years of The X-Files episodes in a span of less than two months. I'm now an expert! That was the 1993-2002 high school/college/grad school time span. Now I'm planning on regressing even further into my past: Twin Peaks BABY!!!

I recently stumbled onto "The Autobiography of F.B.I. Special Agent Dale Cooper: My Life, My Tapes" and read it in maybe an hour. I can't believe I didn't read it 15 years ago! Now I'm going to have a personal Twin Peaks party just like I used to host all those years ago. I recall having Liz (of Lusty Lizzard fame) over to watch all the tapes. I think maybe Nora was invited as well (I decided to wait until she called me on her own to talk to her again...it's going on 15 years; not much of a loss with that friendship!) We would have strong, black coffee, donuts, and cherry pie and just zone out in front of the tube while reciting lines "Coop! What happened to Josie?" Those were good times.

i totally hear you! i hadn't seen twin peaks in many many years and a friend lent me her dvds a few months ago when i was sick with the flu...it was maybe not the best idea to watch backwards talking in the red room while i was barely conscious, but it sure was damn fun! i had forgotten how great that show was.

a total aside, i was wondering how you are enjoying your MLIS program. i just finished mine in June 2004 (university of alberta) and i'm interested to hear if the american programs are equally painful. :)

Sad to say I just got back from a bowling tournament and decided to log in and do some websurfing. Jen I love your blog. I had some very good laughs. I am doing a paper on collection of umbilical cord blood and have been downloading information for the last hour. I don’t know how I came across Coop! What happened to Jen?!? but I am glad I did. It has set me back a little because I have spent the last hour reading your archives. If you don’t mind I would like to add you to my favorites so I can back again and read some more. Well I need to get back to collection of umbilical cord blood. I am almost finished with it. Great job.
p.s some very good points on your blog

Well I just got back from the gym and I am beat. I am currently doing some research on cord blood storing and stumbled across your blog. Which cracks me up really. The internet can certainly land you off base sometimes. Even though Coop! What happened to Jen?!? is not completely related I think it is a cool blog. I have read back through the archives and lots of people make some very good points. Well I have been on-line forever it seems. I need to continue to plug away at cord blood storing . If you have the energy swing by cord blood storing . I try to update my site weekly and maybe you will see something you like. I already snagged your URL and put it in my favorites. If you do not mind I will be back again. Great job!

I love your blog Jen. How long has it been on-line? Reason I ask is I am doing a ton of work in the area of collection of umbilical cord blood and will probably end up starting a blog of my own. Funny how the internet brought me here when I was doing searches on collection of umbilical cord blood. Oh well, I am glad it did. Keep up the great blogging and I am sure I will visit Coop! What happened to Jen?!? again!!
