I was all set to be productive this afternoon. Unfortunately, I discovered instead that YouTube now has episodes of the much-lauded, now-defunct, early-mid-nineties Children's Television Workshop show Ghostwriter.
Oh the wholesomeness of a show about a ghost who reads and the kids who love him. Oh the carefully-structured cultural diversity, oh the cheesy days of early rap and early internet. Oh the outfits. Oh the nineties flava. This show was so COOL in its day.
My friends and I, uh, didn't make pens with strings through the caps so we could have our own "ghostwriter team"...nor was anyone ever heard to sing Lenni's "You Gotta Believe" rap at recess...no way. *looks left and right shiftily* I definitely had a crush on Alex at some point in my life, but I was happy for him when he hooked up with Tina.
Oh good lord. I need these brain cells for other things.
(Aw yeah, aw yeah! You gotta believe!)
Annd, I gotta go work.
P.S. Thanks to xkcd comics for reminding me that, indeed, a little bitty Julia Stiles played a tough-chick school-age hacker on this show. And the clip, indeed, rocks.
Here you have the random thoughts of Isolde. Isolde is: -somewhat surprised at being a medical student -not going to let her right brain atrophy without a fight -living in an actual apartment for the first time -happily dating Answerboy -prone to ramble -a reader and a would-be writer -completely nonsensical sometimes -very glad you're here
