Sometimes things...
- Melbourne Cup this year felt like such a non-event. I didn't have any plans nor invitations to go anywhere. My workplace ran a sweep and refreshments in the conference rooms. After the day before (food poisoning where I spent hours on Monday evening laying on the bathroom tiles just trying to keep cool) food and alcohol were not appetitesing.
- I had 2 consecutive alcohol free days, have a glass of faux champers on Melbourne Cup followed by another 2 alcohol free days. I feel a little more human.
- Wednesday morning my boss told me to 'pack up your desk and just get out of here' its what I needed I was getting frustrated. I spent the day down at the plant. I've booked in for my first day of the rig for Monday.
- I booked my birthday party venue with the assistance of HM, a big thank you. A jazz band and cocktails - bliss.
- After RR came to see me at the party on Saturday night(he has been nick names by Adelberto but I don't like the name he's allocated). We didn't have any plans to see each other until Friday. I was looking forward to it for 3 days. So impressed the novelty hasn't been lost.
- I made a mess of RR's kitchen last night. Yep, that's right. I cooked for him. He bought the wine... The wine we had on our first date, he gave a lingered look to see if I noted. He is impressing me.
- Take 2 we didn't make it to the movies after dinner. We ended up singing along with The Piano man and debating who is the better artist Elvis or Elton. After lots of wine we decided to conduct a poll at the lounge bar. Poll: Elvis or Elton???
- I got home today at midday and can't seem to wipe this grin from my face.
- This afternoon I received a phone call from a girl I've met once had only a couple of email communicant' she has invited me out to a concert tonight as she has a spare ticket. How awesome, this morning I was saying I wasn't overly interested in going to a house warming.
Happy days...

well that's a toughie because Elvis changed popular music forever by coming along. There was also all the social implications of being seen with black musicians which was unheard of during the day as well as his selling impact and touring etc - which has influenced how musicians are marketed today. He has been a bigger impact for music overall than Elton - a lot of popular musicians who were influenced by Elvis would agree. However Elton *wrote* music, in fact some of those songs are arguably some of the best music to come out of the last century.
I want to say Elvis..but I don't want to discount Elton.
Whilst Elton has many many great tunes to me there is no doubt:
Elvis!
I'd say Elton. Elvis didn't write any of his own material. Plus, a lot of his songs are just silly ones written solely for the purpose of his many movies. I choose quality over quantity - Elton all the way!
You know what I reckon is more interesting? Hypothesiszing their relative and current fame had their fortunes been swapped.
Imagine if Elton dropped off the twig right after Yellow Brick Road, meanwhile a bloated, belligerant Elvis is still turning up at celeb weddings and doing guest spots on TV shows like "the Nanny".
LOL
I was meant to be studying when I accidently found my way onto your blog... and then the mention of Elton accidently made me put on The Lion King! Bliss xo
