bjorling was on the highest played artists list!

is it wrong that i kind of HATE callas?

I'd say it's understandable; people liked her more for interpretation/spectacle than they did for "omg pretty voice"; she was kind of the template for Jane Eaglen.

guys, i think i may have seriously fucked my neck, and i'm not sure how. wednesday: woke up fine, about 30 mins later it was sore and got worse through out the day, jordan massaged it, slept fine; woke up thursday, it felt fine, 30 mins later it's seizing up again. massaged it again last night, slept fine. woke up this morning in agony and can barely turn my head.

Sara, I know naught about opera as well. A bit about Opera though.

It is called "life"; you wouldn't understand, Dark Lord.

Complaints complaints.

it's not exactly my neck: it's kind of the tendon or something between my neck and shoulder.

Stress? I often have issues there when stressed.

I would try getting something like Ben Gay or Icy Hot and applying that to the area while lying down. If the problem persists into tomorrow, see a doctor.

this is where you make the disturbing discovery that you moved to a country that doesnt sell codiene over the counter

hahahaha

yeah jordan was shocked when i bought a codeine-based painkiller back in nz.

i should have stocked up before moving here ;_;

Justine, you've been carrying a heavy handbag or lifting too much. Rub Deep Heat into the area and wrap up warm.

here's the thing: the pain started wednesday morning, BUT i spent the previous saturday/sunday toting round extremely heavy bags of books. is a delayed reaction possible?

Absolutely, I've had phantom pains appear that were because of something I'd done 2-3 days previously.

i think some kind of previous strain plus perhaps sleeping oddly would do it.

also: spent four hours sitting in front of the tv election night, on a couch that has 'roll-together'.

I know the time for this is past but I just wanted to point out that Jussi Bjorling is OTM.

guys, my girlfriend lives w. me now. it is super-awesome, but i am more inclined to mopiness than before... is this normal?

Depends; does she try to get you out of mopiness via sexual favors? If so, then basically you're developing a Pavlovian response to become mopey whenever you're horny.

If not, then you probably are just missing some amt of personal space.

girlfriend?!? details plz!!!! is this the girl you had the kind-of thing with before?

also: need further explanation of 'mopiness' before i can offer opinion.

like, are you sad and unmotivated when she's not around?

i am lolling at joaquin phoenix's BYE! GOOD right now

xp to RR - you can also rotate cold and heat (I know that cold is unpleasant, but if there's inflammation, heat can increase that). Have you taken any ibuprofen? Sorry about our lack of OTC codeine...

remy, I don't know whether to say congratulations or what, but I'm loving Dan's interpretation of what is going on... lol

facebook sez:

Remy is PAVLOV'S BITCH (THANK YOU DAN PERRY)

ha!

i hate callas too. blargh.

Remy is now a man. Or um something.

Oh good lord I am zonked. This week! I mean, I love it, but I'm just wiped out.

yeah yeah, me too.

election night up til 3 am
13 hour day wed
11 hour day yesterday
13 hour day today
11 hour day tomorrow

ahh sunday.

congrats remy!

I cannot legitimately love or hate Callas, as I pretty much only know her name. I think I might have a recording of her in Carmen that I got for Xmas last year. I have no real idea, though, as I don't know where those c.d.s are right now. (I do appreciate that she's in the Olivia books, though).

Ned - I KNOW! This week has been madness. But the good kind. For once.

Indeed. A lovely afternoon here, BTW, a good way to ease into the weekend. :-)

My mom still has v.v. valuable Caruso 45s somewhere; next to all her old Mario Lanza records.

She made a gift of some of the Carusos to noted opera fanatic/Vikes coach Mike Tice

Leaving for the hospital soon. Can it just stop SNOWING ffs? It was 70 degrees a few days ago!!!

shit I should remove the air conditioners before it snows here

i think that this weekend will be the inaugural fireplace/books/scotch experience for the justen/freeman household.

oh sunday i await your laziness with open arms.

oh god, callas' carmen is horrendous. also her lucia. and wtf why is someone singing lucia AND carmen!? crazy ass ho.

you know who is NOTM? gerard mortier.

heh

I'm going to be spending the weekend RAIDING in WoW to get AWESOMES LOOTZ that will be useless come THURSDAY

Tonight's dinner with a friend, tomorrow's an interview with a local booker and then a birthday party, Sunday is shopping up at Amoeba...and some sleep in there somewhere, yes.

CHILI FEED IT APPROACHES LET ME GO HOME NOW PLZ

I just wanna go home

tomorrow i have to go to an art/music show which sounds meh, but if i show up before 7 i pay $5 and drink FOR FREE all night, so i am devoted to the idea now.
