Spending my time pondering whether I should risk it and take some pain meds even though I'm not sure how they'll react with the antibiotics I just started taking. Ugh. If it wasn't for WFMU, this day would totally suck.

@Okasa: well, technically, he's playing Sadko, not Sinbad or Aladdin. The original Russian storyline of the movie is very different from the dubbed one.
Avatar ♥   Wed. 2/20/13 9:26am Listener Okasa:

@Caryn - So, the original movie made sense, but the dubbers changed it to Arabia and Sinbad? Cool, thanks!

@Okasa: yeah, it was originally based on a Russian folk tale. There's an opera based on the same story.

Avatar ♥   Wed. 2/20/13 9:58am Caryn:

Aw, Ken. That's what happens when you eagerly await something for years. It can never live up to the expectations. Although in this case, the chances weren't good anyway. Another case of "never meet your heroes".

Well, look on the bright side, Ken. At least you will no longer be plagued by thoughts of "When will I finally get to see that tATu movie? Where is it? Is it out yet?" Now you'll just be plagued by other thoughts. Like "Why did that tATu movie have to suck so much?"

My method for earworms is to imagine a bit of the song as a mangled stuttering remix, similar to bits of Terry Riley's "You're No Good," the most repetitive bits. Hammer a tiny portion of a phrase in the song in your mind over and over and over again to override the more catchy parts of the song. Takes serious concentration, though.
