Thanksgiving Meme
I think I have time to do this before I run off to a post-Thanksgiving family dinner. I haven't done anything Thanksgiving-y on this blog yet. (I did hear some Ray Davies song on VH1 a minute ago... called "The Thanksgiving Song" or something easy to remember like that)
By the way, I'm NOT thankful for the return of my cold, which happened on Thanksgiving Day. I think my running all over the house barefoot, trying to help clean and cook, is responsible. But obviously I'm thankful for friends and family, not to mention.......
"Top 5 musical things that you are thankful for" from Music Memoirs :
1. Elvis Costello
At the moment, no one gives me more joy. (Is it close enough to Christmas to break out the "St Stephens Day Murders" song?)
2. The Moody Blues
...and all the silly faces they make.
3. The Beatles
(especially Paul, since I just burned to CD his Atlanta show I went to in September!!)
4. The Clash
(they are so snarky...they make me smile)
5. Nick Lowe
(I had a dream about him last night...except he had no hair and talked like T-Bone Burnett. And then I got him to autograph my copy of "The Impossible Bird.")

Top Five Signs You've Had a Crappy Week
(A meme I made up...a selfmade meme..)
1. Every day you've been out in the freezing cold, scarf falling on the ground, bags falling off your shoulders, hair getting completely messed up, until your sore throat of 2 weeks ago decided to come back.
2. Had problems concerning your best friend. They don't get any better when you realize tomorrow's her birthday and you haven't yet bought the present you promised her.
3. If you don't stop eating so much you're going to get fat. This is a problem, since you love food. Need motivation... such as "I don't want to look fat for Elvis Costello in May, so I'd better start being disciplined now...."
4. Wasted your money by ordering a DVD that is uselss since it's in PAL format. Also, half a dozen DVDs from eBay should've arrived by now...
5. It's nearly Thanksgiving and you haven't cleaned the house yet. And company will be coming. Need I say more?

Unconscious Mutterings meme
I couldn't resist because, as usual, I kept thinking of Elvis Costello references.
I say ... and you think ... ?
- Mighty:: Like a Rose
- Gotta find time to ....:: burn live shows to CD
- Statistic:: That word makes me shudder... I hate math
- Midnight:: Blue
- Thaw:: frozen food
- Hips:: "Little Triggers... my hand on your hip..."
- Reader:: mind-reader
- Related:: um...family?
- Brilliant:: Mistake
- Posture:: something I probably should work on

My Halloween with Elvis Costello?
No, I didn't go to that "Broadway Sings EC" show, but I did carve his face into a pumpkin.
Have we reached new heights of obsession? Yes, I think we have.
(And I just resisted titling this post "Pump it Up.")
I carved this when I had a sore throat. At least I don't seem to have lost my touch- which is lucky since I haven't done any art in months.
And here's last year's: Edward Scissorhands.

Watch "The Young Ones", 80's BBC show, and wish they'd made more than 12 episodes.
Drool over wonderful King of America cover.
Kidnap Elvis AND Justin Lodgey AND Paul to preserve sanity and ward off post-concert depression.
Pretty much try to stay in a constant state of confusion (like Johnny Depp) just because of the expression it leaves on my face.
Protest War
(feeling a little ambitious, are we?)
