I just watched Phantom of the Opera last Sunday night; hence, the source of my subject title.

The following was a comment I posted on Evan Donovan's blog in response to his rationale for frequent blogging:

I empathize with your desire not to be forgotten by Covenant-ites. When feeling especially lonely for friends back in Chattanooga, I send out random, bizarre emails. My hope is that by cluttering up peoples' inboxes, I will be remembered, even if the duration of memory lasts only as long as it takes for a reader to click the "delete message" icon.

The ancient Egyptians built their pyramids; I, too, must pursue immortality through incessant memorial-building. To the crumbling stone of ancient temples, I add the fading ruins of comments strewn across the universe of covblog, xanga, and Outlook Express.
