once upon a time

i just got a flashback to a memory i have from elementary school:

i was in 1st grade at St. Leo's elementary school in Minot, ND and my friend, Mary Dunkle, and i were with our class in the music room. we were paired with the 2nd grade class to watch a video and i remember this cute 2nd grader telling me that he thought i was pretty. he sat behind me and Mary and we thought we were really cool. I remember he was wearing a yellow shirt, but this doesn't make sense because this was a catholic school and so we had uniforms. maybe it was a friday or something. anyway, the video that we watched was one that i have not seen in 15-20 years. it was about a woman trapped in a dungeon who had a machine to make books. and alas! i have found it! apparently it was called once upon a time with marian the librarian and the witch. it was produced by nebraska public TV, so i wouldn't be surprised if those outside of the midwest have never seen it. this makes sense because i remember my freshman year of college in Boston asking people if they had seen this show and everyone thought i was crazy. but i am not! i have proof!



it was much cooler back when i was 6.
