Old film of Elvis and 'Cilla when they were happy make me feel warm and fuzzy.
LOL! The Elvis Christmas Album.....it was my family's official Christmas album.....it is MY official Christmas album....it is NOT Christmas in my world until the Elvis Christmas CD has been played at last 3 times fully....preferably to an audience that has never fully experienced its grandeur. My personal fave - Santa Clause Is Back In Town it could easily be used as a stripper backup song....
^^^No! I have only been to Memphis once and we didn't have time to go to Graceland though we wanted to go...it's on my list of things to do before I die.....I can only imagine! The jungle room has to be awesome! But honestly...you just can't imagine how weird all my friends thought I was growing up.....they all listened to either the traditional religious Christmas carols, or Manheim Steamroller or something along those lines....and here I was with my Elvis Christmas CD.....Jeff Foxworthy would have pegged me for sure!
I lived in Memphis for almost a year and we got free passes for the whole shabang. It was so cool I laid a penny on Elvis's grave.
The thing is when you live in memphis for any amount of time you will eventually run into someone with a first-hand account of some Elvis story of some kind. I met a little old black man who had owned a clothes store in downtown Memphis for years and years. Appanently Elvis had looked in his window many times before he broke big. The old guy said he was using a rope for a belt and his jeans had patches on the knees. A long time later Elvis came back and bought out his entire inventory.
This is what Elvis did. The tales about buying random people new cars are true. Which also explains why he died with a surprisingly small bank account.
One more thing. At Graceland there is a grouping of crystal pyramid looking things sitting in the front living room on a coffee table. My Grandma had the same ones on her coffee table.
^^^You know, I can totally believe that. I think that is what people, especially people like my parents and the people in the small towns in the south can relate to....he was just a poor kid from a small poor Southern town who got lucky and make it big. But he never forgot how he was raised and he had a mother who made sure he didn't and he was enough of a mama's boy to respect what his mama told him. How awesome that he would just ramdomly give back when he felt the calling....sad in a way that he couldn't be more controlled and exacting with it but maybe that was destined for others. Yes, I HAVE to go....it is a MUST SEE....mecca for Southerners!

yes, she was that cool.
now they are mine ;D
Get out of Here! That is WAAAY Cool! You know, Southern Grandmas are the coolest! My grandma could play almost every Hank Williams song on harmonica and every well known folk song....I grew up with her singing "You Are My Sunshine" "Clementine" and almost every song from the "Oh Brother Where Art Tho" Soundtrack....and she left me her antique secretary when she died....but it's the mountain music songs and her harmonica that mean more to me than anything.....that's something that I hope to pass down one day.....Southern grannies are cool as hell!
damn its 4 am on a monday night/tuesday morning and im up typing about michael vick and looking at pictures of oat's spotted d!ck. something is wrong with me.

lol those "rouge naps" are a pain in the ass! and once they screw ya up and your exhausted they come everyday. and before ya know it your all messed up! it seems like the only thing that gets me back to regular is a festival. i can always get to sleep easily the night i get home frmm a fest. and i can usually keep that schedule for a while. well until the weekend atleast where i screw everything up by going to bed late and sleeping all day. then i just have to wait for another fest. damn, who woulda thought sleeping would be such hard work!! everything was so much easier when we were kids!
I don't know how that is possible - the most ever online was on the day that the tickets went onsale - when we were all waiting and trying to get our tickets
Maybe it's some kind of weird system test they did and it logged it? I don't know... It had always said February something-or-other before... And at 5am? Gotta be a system test.

The February date that was there was the day the tickets went on sale

Aww, so cute
Anyway, the cast is on because it's the fastest way to heal my sprained ankle. The doctor said that if I wanted to dance in 3 weeks, they would need to cast it. Ahh, sacrifices.
I am going to bake cupcakes and drink wine tonight. THAT sounds like a plan
OK, the Spotted 'dick' brings back too many memories...LOL. I worked with too many English guys.....you can't have Spotted 'dick'without Mushy Peas.....it just isn't right......and REAL Cadbury Chocolates......not that crappy stuff you get here like the Easter eggs....but Cadbury Dark Chocolates.....MMMMM! Thanks for reminding me
