On Captain Eo and A&E



I'm currently obsessed with "Hoarders" and "Intervention." They make me feel good about my life. My house is cluttered. I enjoy imbibing. But, currently, I am not in need of an intervention for either. Yet. These shows also freak me out. Its always one bad experience and before you know it you are living in your own feces. With rats. And bedbugs.

Great news though. Captain Eo is returning to Disneyland. Michael Jackson is, in many ways, the defining image of my childhood. I remember exactly what I was doing when I realized what "Billie Jean" was actually about. I was 8, doing homework at the kitchen table, listen to the Thriller album on cassette. Captain Eo was the height of his popularity, still attractive, and massively cool. I miss MJ, even the recent,
creepy MJ
.







Mostly I miss the elephant from Captain Eo, Hooter.
