wait for it, wait for it
My favorite thing about the gym is the Cardio Theater and my favorite thing about that may just be the ’80s video channel. Not only was I reminded of that decade’s predilection for putting decorative glass blocks in walls (c.f. Stevie Nicks’s “Stand Back”), but I’ve been treated to repeated viewings of the awesome video for Howard Jones’s “Everlasting Love.” Mummies! But not just mummies — yuppie mummies carrying briefcases, putting on boxer shorts, sharing a Waldorf salad, playing raquetball, and eating soft serve. Also nice is when Howard uses the top of a sarcophagus for a bongo. What really makes the thing kind of joyful and great is that he looks like he’s about to laugh the whole time.
P.S. This is for you, “Charles.”
