Duh Duh Duh Duh- Duh Duh Duh Duh- Near Near Near

My conversation with Brian last night while watching the end of "8 Seconds", which I clearly have not seen before.

Me: Luke Parry's character DIES?!

Brian: Uh- yeah- he died in real life!

Me: LUKE PERRY DIED???

Brian: NO! The character he is playing died in real life.

Me: This is a true story? Well, I'm glad I never sat down to actually watch it. Gah.


Friends, I cannot tell you how long my heart stopped when I thought Luke Perry was dead.

Some of you (Cheri) may remember PO5 (Party of Five) and 90210 nights in high school and how I may have been a tad, wee bit, obsessed. It was a blissul night full of Matthew Fox and Luke Perry.

It took me 3 months to watch the final episode of 90210 because I didn't think I could actually bear to watch it. And when I did I sobbed like a baby.

(Of course, I think there were some underlying issues. You know how the end of 90210 symbolized the end of my high school years and friendships lost. But that is a WHOLE other story...)

I don't know if you've seen previews but CW is recreating 90210. Part of me wants to watch but then there's the other part that knows no one will trump Dylan and Kelly.

All that to say, I am so relieved to find out that Luke Perry is in fact NOT DEAD.
