31 Days, 31 Memories - Day 29

Jan 29, 2006 02:02

Was hanging out at a former co-worker's house tonight with a group of people several years older than I am, and ended up watching half a DVD of Guns 'n' Roses music videos. Hence:

29. Elementary School

One of our regular babysitters when we still lived at our old house was M., the eldest daughter of my mother's best friend, who lived around the corner. One afternoon M. and her sister were over watching us, and after playing outside we came in and sat in the living room and M. put on VH1 or MTV. I remember two music videos from that afternoon: "Wild Night" by John Cougar Mellencamp (back when he went with the middle name) and Me'Shell NdegéOcello -- M. announced that she was in love with John Cougar, an artist I'd never heard of till then and a sentiment I wasn't yet old enough to really understand -- and "Hole Hearted" by Extreme, a song that hovered in the back of my mind for the better part of a decade until Napster came along and I found and downloaded it.

Okay, bedtime with the hope that I'll wake up without the sneezy wheezy Ivanka-has-two-cats-and-I-spent-six-hours-in-her-apartment fun-filled reactions.
