20 Years Later

Starting Monday, Peter Scholtes of Complicated Fun is beginning his month of tributes to 1984, featuring contributions from various writers. I for one can hardly contain myself. This should be some good reading. Check it out:

"I hate 1984 today because it makes all the other years look bad. Not that I haven't felt much, much better in the two decades since, or that things around me have particularly gotten worse. (Communism left, the Bush clan stayed, and we've still got a bomb and could all die here today.) But I've never been so fully engaged in popular culture as I was in that lonely year."

I know exactly what that means.
