Waxing Nostalgic…Sort Of
Thought I’d check in before compounding lab today. This afternoon I get to make a hydrocortisone ointment and rectal suppositories. Yay.
For some reason, I have had a certain bit of nostalgia stuck in my head for the past few days and I don’t know why. Back in sophomore year at Denison, Liz showed Marisa and me some music videos from a duo whose name I can’t remember (though the word “Fuzz” comes to mind). Their videos always depicted them as cartoon characters drawn in dramatically different styles. One guy looked almost exactly like the old Cartoon Network character Johnny Bravo. The other one (who did the vast majority of the singing) was essentially a disembodied head floating over the rest of his body. The head had a tendency to kind of bob from side to side to the beat of the music (most of which I also can’t remember). Marisa thought he was cute. I thought he was unbelievably creepy, and I never want to see him again. If you were to believe the music videos, the Johnny Bravo clone was German and the disembodied head dude was cockney British, but I looked the duo up on the Internet and discovered both guys were Canadian, much to Marisa’s dismay. I don’t know why I’ve been thinking about that recently, but I have, though I don’t have any particular desire to figure out what the hell the group’s name was.
In case anyone’s interested (particularly Marisa), I feel like I’m in serious need of a creativity pow-wow. These classes are murder on the imagination.

I can’t imagine which music video that must have been, but it certainly sounds unique!
Happy Easter to you and your family!
Erin! I bought a new phone and wasn’t able to add you to the numbers. When you have time, you could try calling me or e-mailing me: cphantom9@hotmail.com, 706-834-7284.
A lot going on lately. It’s a brave new world for me, and I could using catching up with you. We need to talk Star Trek. If you haven’t seen, I posted a review at http://www.myspace.com/bigdamhero. Let me know what you think.
Hello Ms. Erin,
You made your site so simple yet elegant. I see that you are a student. I used to be one myself!
I like to write articles about Jehovah God on my site so that people can find out what His imminent plans are for us: “For God carefully watches the way that people live; he sees everything they do. No darkness is thick enough to hide the wicked from his eyes. For it is not up to mortals to decide when to come before God in judgment. He will openly strike them down for their wickedness. For they turned aside from following him. They have no respect for any of his ways.” (Job 34:21-23) (NLT)
