this afternoon i went to see the movie 'elvis', in eagan. i recognized tom hanks in it. this movie seemed to have the same message as many other bio-pics, 'it is not easy to be famous'. it seemed to be just as much about his manager, played by hanks, but i didn't mind. since hanks served as the narrator as well, much like in 'forrest gump'. early on i was thinking of eminem, who name-checked mr. presley in 'without me'. and then boom! i found out there is an eminem song in the credits, 'king and i'. i knew this was likely as i heard 'marshall' in a song. i found it on youtube and i like it, listened to it more than once. it has the same spirit as many other eminem songs and further explores the parallels between the two, beyond just the name-checking in the aforementioned 'w/o me'.
this was a busy day for me, attended two festivals before the movie. it was the pancake breakfast at canadian days in little canada, then the car show and bagpipe band. for lunch i went to a greek church and had a gyro and some mythos beer. i didn't stay for long as i wanted to get to the movie. there was one e-bay order picked up at my box between the two festivals. after getting back from the movie i went to aldi, then ate the evening meal. i turned on the baseball game on fox, twins-padres, but i laid down and missed most of it. later on i went on a walk and found 98 cents. i found boxes of cereal along the way and claimed one of them, a family sized box of cheerios. i passed on some of the others because they were expired. and i already had some cereal at home, so it meant make it count on which one to pick.
