And the word of the day is: FUNGIBLE!

And The Song Of The Day Is:  GOTTA BE THIS OR THAT

[Jennifer]

Thanks DRs Jose and Cillaliz re: your suggestions about going to the doctor.

Last night I did not have a good night. So I was all set to go to the doctor's this morning. But I woke up feeling a bit better.

I think the sudafed was the wrong thing to take. It didn't make me drowsy ( i was surprised about that). But it made my throat really dry (worse than i thought). And it did nothing for my head or sinuses. So by1:30am i was in terrible pain. Not being able to sleep and my head was throbbing.

I had to wait till 2am when i was able to take an Advil Cold and Sinus. And my head stopped hurting after about an hour. Then i was able to sleep.

Last night I thought it was getting worse (hence the doctor). But today it feels like maybe it is getting better. I'll see later how i feel.

[Matthew]

I"m awake and out the door.  Nice to be able to sleep almost an extra hour on work days as I'm closer to the church and school now.

Nothing new here.

[Laura]

No news is good news, Matthew.

BK, do you know anything about this new 2CD SA release of THE BIBLE?  I got it yesterday (I already had the first CD release).  I frankly couldn't make head (n?)or tails of the verbiage on the SA site, which is more or less reproduced in the liner notes.  The thing that is confusing me is it sounds like they had more "tapes" (do they mean mags?), but that Overture sure sounds like a needle drop to me, replete with pops and all.

[Laura]

Glad you are feeling a bit better today, Jennifer.

Friday morning greetings!  The sun is shining brilliantly here in SW Ohio - something that hasn't happened for quite a long time.  My intention is to get outside for a walk today and then get back to my sorting/filing/shredding.  That came to kind of a halt this week because of the meetings I attended Wednesday and Thursday.  Last night my book group met to discuss Cleopatra's Daughter and next Thursday we'll go together to see the Cleo exhibit at Cincinnati's Museum Center and participate in their discussion of the same book.

[Ginny]

And 24 hours from now, I will be deep in the bowels of the main branch of the New York Public Library. I will be participating in a "game" with 499 other participants called Find The Future. It should be quite an interesting time. The main goal of the event is to write a book that will become part of the NYPL's permanent collection.

DR Jose - that sounds like so much fun!  I'm looking forward to a full report.

DR Jennifer - You should still see a doctor. Seriously.

And, seriously, with all of those OTC meds, it sounds like you could have over-medicated yourself. -As for the Sudafed making your throat scratchy, that just means you didn't need to take it. Sudafed is supposed to dry you out.

Again, if you can easily schedule an appointment with a doctor, go see one.

[JoseSPiano]

Oh...

Once again...

Good Morning!

DR Jose - that sounds like so much fun!  I'm looking forward to a full report.

DR Ginny - It should be fun. There's a Facebook group for all of the participants, and I have to say that I'm a bit leery of some of the more gung-ho participants. "Can I bring a video camera?" "What kind of lens are you bringing?" "If I shoot video footage of you, will you shoot video footage of me?" "I think we should all meet beforehand for a drink, and then meet afterwards for breakfast. Is there a place nearby that can handle 200 walk-ins?"... -We're supposed to be following these "Quests", and writing a book during out "lock-in". If all some people are worried about is taking pictures and shooting video, well...

In any case... The NYPL is also giving out free copies of their "Centennial" book. -I'll be sure to grab a copy for you.

[JoseSPiano]

I"m awake and out the door.  Nice to be able to sleep almost an extra hour on work days as I'm closer to the church and school now.

Nothing new here.

I will miss the relative luxury of a 15-20 subway ride to "work" once I start down in DC. I think my usual routine to get to Arena will be a 20 minutes car ride, followed by a 35 minutes Metro ride. -Or if I choose to drive in from Fairfax, that could take as little as 25 minutes, or as long as 75 in rush hour traffic.

[Ginny]

Oh, thank you, DR Jose!  Getting a copy of the book will be the "next best thing to being there."  Whose tagline was that?  I can't remember - Hallmark?

Last night we watched THE GOOD WIFE & agree it was an excellent episode.  Keith still isn't sure he likes where it is going but was happy the script was back to the show's usual high standards.

[elmore3003]

I've put together the books for the singers for "I Wish I Was A Single Girl Again," "West Virginia Mine Disaster," "It's The Good Old Mountain Dew," and the appalachian Carols. Now I have to lay out the lead sheets for "Christmas Time's A-Comin" and "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" before I can leave here today. Tomorrow morning, i want to lay out the opening sequence.

Lunch break!

[Jennifer]

Glad you are feeling a bit better today, Jennifer.

Thanks. I was supposed to go babysit my nieces tonight. But I think my mom is going to take my place.

At least I don't feel so exhausted today.

I just wish I could ride my bike.

[Jennifer]

They are saying that Canada Post could go on strike on Tuesday.

I really hope not.

My doctor's office does not easily have appointments. There is a new clinic very near by that supposedly is quite easy to go to.

The only over the counter med i've tried is Advil cold and sinus. And my one try with sudafed last night.

I was planning to take your advice and go this morning. But then i woke up feeling a bit better.

Unless they are sure it is a serious sinus infection they normally tell us to wait it out. That is why i was waiting to go.

Do you mean in terms of who Alicia ends up with? I like her. I like Will. But I love Mr. Big (Chris Noth). I also love Alicia and Kalinda so wasn't really that happy when the secret came out a few weeks ago. And not happy that Chris Noth was kicked out of her hosue. I like them together.

JMK - that release of The Bible is really sketchy in many ways.  First of all, there is no overture in the Bible.  Someone on the FSM board went through and made the proper sequence with notes.  Let me see if I can cut and paste here.


Disc 1
Track 1 Overture is actually the Entr'acte
There is no Overture for this film.
There is the silent 20th-Fox 70mm logo on curtains
in dark theatre with curtains opening on
the Main Title
Tracks 3,4,8,9, 11 & 15 are from the Original Soundtrack recording
Album (Long Playing and Reel to Reel)
Track 15 is not an Intermezzo. It is composed of Creation of Eve/Forbidden Fruit
and the Entr'acte. This track should be discarded. It was a filler track for the RCA Italiana (LP and CD) that replaced the Creation John Huston narration mix on the 20th-Fox Soundtrack release (LP and reel)

Disc 2 Tracks 1 and 2 should be after Track 4
and Track 1 should be the Entr'acte (Overture from Disc 1 Track 1)
Tracks 5 and 6 should be after Track 12
Track 12 is erroneously titled "Jealousy of Sarah"
This track is Lot's Wife/Pillar of Salt/Destruction of Sodom
Tracks 8 and 9 are repeats (Stereo/Mono)
Track 3,5,8, 19, 20 are from the Original Soundtrack recording
Album (Long Playing and Reel to Reel)
Track 20 was the 1st band/track on the original 20th-Fox album and reel to reel tape.

The proper sequence for this release would be:

Disc 1

1. The Creation
2. Creation of Adam
3. Creation of Eve
4. Forbidden Fruit
5. Banishment from the Garden
6. Cain and Abel
7. Cain Kills Abel
8. Noah’s Ark
9. Feeding the Animals
10. 40 Day and 40 Nights
11. Noah Watching Through the Hatch
12. New Beginning – The Raven
13. New Beginning the Dove
14. New Beginning – Leaving the Ark _Intermission Title


Disc 2

1. Entr'acte (Overture from Disc 1, Band 1)
2. Tower of Babel – Part 1
3. Tower of Babel – Part 2
4. Abraham – Part 1
5. Abraham – Part 2
6. Abraham – Scene of Love
7. Sarah and Hagar
7. The Lord’s Apparition – Three Men by the Terebinth 6:00
8. Sodom
9. The Evil Ram
10. Dance for Isaac
11. Lot's Wife - Pillar of Salt - Destruction of Sodom (Jealousy of Sarah)
12. Hagar’s Sadness
13. Hagar in the Desert
14. Hagar and the Angel
15. God Speaks to Abraham
16. Abraham’s Sacrifice
17. Finale with Chorus
18. End Titles

Alternate Tracks
Disc 2
19. Dance of Sodom
20. God Halts Abraham and Finale

OK, here's the weird thing.  The original CD I have *has* the John Huston narration.

Internets repairman has come and gone, but not without a fair amount of drama. 

[Druxy]

Has anybody here seen a movie called PASSION PLAY with Mickey Rourke?

I know the reviews are not that great, but I'm wondering if the film is really that bad.

[JMK]

Is that the one in Aramaic where he gets nailed up on a cross?
