New with Music: Elvis Inducted into Memphis Music Hall of Fame

	Elvis Presley, among other Memphis music greats, were inducted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame Thursday evening during a musical tribute held at the Cannon Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Memphis. According to the Memphis Commercial Appeal, Priscilla Presley accepted on behalf of Elvis and noted that Elvis' musical influences included several of his fellow inductees. "I know he would be humbled and pleased to be included in standing with them tonight at this inaugural event," said Priscilla in a video message presented during the ceremony. Memphis is often known as the cradle for legendary musicians in blues, soul, and rock 'n' roll. Sponsored by the Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Museum, the ceremony consisted of 25 inductees who maintained strong ties to the Memphis community and were pioneers in the music industry. Other Memphians honored were Sun Studio founder Sam Phillips, DJ Dewey Phillips, blues legends B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, and Isaac Hayes, among many others.

New Birthday

Today it was my birthday.

I didn't go to Dog's School (Thurdays and Sundays). I wanted to enjoy my first birthday with a dog of my own. I've wanted a dog for whole my life and now I finally have one.
I got a lot of presents today. The ones that made me the happiest where giftcards in a petshop and a chewrope for my little puppy Phoebe. I love it to see her play.

New requests made (but how...)

November was a good month for requests comparing to the months October and September.
I haven't had the time to update the requestform. It does take longer than you'd think as there are so many different ways people do requests.

Only requests made by the correct form here on my blog are official and valid.

No problem for me to accept requests by other social media (mail, Facebook, Twitter, TSR, MTS, comments,...) but then you don't have the right to complain that your requests takes very long or is even never made!

Thanks for understanding!
