OMG, IT'S DEATH WEEK!!!!!!!!

Geez, already?...Where does the time go? For those of you not from Memphis, "Death Week" is also know as "Tribute Week". The week when the faithful from all over the world make a pilgrimage to Memphis to stand in a very long line, in the heat and humid, to view Elvis' grave and wait for 1) Elvis to wave from the second storey window and announce that he is not dead or 2) wait for Elvis to rise again. It's much like Linus waiting in the pumpkin patch for the Great Pumpkin. Out of respect for the dead, I'll avoided drawing parallels to vegetables and dead rock stars.... But I do keep seeing this image in the back of my mind of a giant, floating pumpkin in a white jumpsuit. O.o It's disturbing, but I've been through worse.

The Vigil - yes VIGIL, candle light even - it over the top. To me it's just creepy and sick, yet the morbid fascination of it all just sucks you in. (I've included a link to the page page at the "official" EPE site that will get you to either the simulcast vigil or the tape of it) Anyway, HE'S DEAD! And regardless of what the National Inquirer says, you just don't to encores for that. Sorry, but go on with your lives!!!!!!! You can appreciate the music without worshipping the corpse.

But, it's good for a laugh. Bookmark the site, and check back in December when they usually have a cam up for the Christmas Lights.

Yeah, I'm bored.... and I have no idea what I'm doing but that is just normal..... I'm in the process of moving to another state. And I've got waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much time on my hands at the moment because my employers chose to not let me work out my 2 month notice. I'm actually pretty pleased about that...but at the same time, my feelings are a little hurt. I have that feeling that I have failed or something. But I don't know why I care, because I loathed that job, and have been stuck with it for a year trying to get the hell out of here.

So I'm bored, and burnt out.... yippeeeeeeee! Always a winning combination. Thankfully though, things are actually getting better for me.... For the first time in a long time. So I'll deal with the boredom, and inflict myself on others. For that boys and girls, is the true American way.
