1994 was a very good year. I was in semesters 2 and 3 of grad school, made Alpha Kappa Delta honorary society in sociology, some friends got married, one on the day Shoemaker-Levy Nine hit Jupiter, etc.

Sounds like a great year for you..love the etc guess who 
Errrr..... any ONE of those 'fireworks' would have obliterated all life on earth.
The cell phone ads in there are pretty funny. I think all those newspapers pale in comparison to this, however:

Ah... Shoemaker-Levy. Does that count as a "where were you when...?" moment? Kind of reminds me of seeing Halley's comet in 1986.
I agree we could do without those kind of fireworks right here, thank you.
In 1994, I was sixteen, in year eleven at matric college. (Which is kind of like the last two years of school, but not quite -- if that makes sense.) and looking forward to the day when I would never have to study Maths at school ever again!! 
Was looking through some of my old Science and Movie magazines from a few years back. Funny to see what was new even just a decade ago.
In 1994 I was running my own taxi service. The twins were one year old, and came everywhere with me in their baby seats in the front of my mini-bus taxi.
Sonic 3 takes me back... I have always been an avid video game fan and of course this was one of my AS obsessions, distracting me from anything useful like school, etc.
The Genesis, I think, was better than SNES.
I remember reading a magazine for the 1960's. There was an advertisement for caffeine pills which calls them "friendly stimulants''.
Some people apparently take these every day, but it's not a good idea to take more than one per day. I guess the convenience of caffeine without all those calories in soda pop or bothering to make coffee in the morning, is the draw.
I think they are safe.

We had an Amiga 500 - the kids played Zool, which was probably a shameless rip-off of Sonic (or was it vice-versa?)
So SOAP can cure AS... *peter griffin moment*
I'm taking the piss, Tenacious ;p
November 18, 1994: One Julie and I left Huntington for a wedding in Shepherdstown of two mutual friends (I was carless in 1994). She flirted with me for about 330 miles: I 64 east to Charleston, I 79 north to Morgantown, and I 68 east to Hagerstown and in Shepherdstown the back way through Sharpsburg (near Antietam Battlefield).
I stayed on Shepherd campus that night in an unused suite style apartment. The bride had close working connections with Residence Life.
The wedding, November 19. No minister or religious words. DIY.
I did not have any beer that night, it was interesting to see my friends after a few.
They've been together maybe 13 years now.
My brother returned me to Huntington the next day, I think he wanted to visit me there.
Aeolienne, that woman reminds me of an advertisement for Killearney's beer (DC 101, summer 2001)
"(two women in a bar) One talks about how busy she is, classes, appointments, and parties scheduled months in advance. Her friend listened, growing sad and envious, thinking that a full schedule met a full life, that with nothing to do, she was nothing. As the busy woman excused herself, the bartender came over and said, You know, some people are just busy because they have nothing real to do, and with that, the women were equal again. Balance was restored with simple pub wisdom."
my university contemporaries were getting engaged
My (college, it did not become a university until the 3rd millenium AD) contemporaries got married to pretty fast, maybe a year or so after graduation.
Strange, the Christians did it first. Julie explained, common sensely, that the Christians believed they had to to have sex.
My friends who weren't, years passed. Our friend Vicki said Julie and Rebecca were married some time ago. I wish Vicki well when her time comes, and hope everyone gets a turn eventually.
