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.

any watched the movie "fraktus" and want to tell me which scene he/she found was best? i liked the one, where the producer fights with the döner-spieß, and where bernd wand talks about his music projekt callled "fraktus2" which he wants to set up with his parents..

Think I'll play it safe and take the pills in a few hours. That way, they'll be in the middle of the antibiotics' cycle. Pharmacy thinks that's the safest time.

I'm sensing a German theme, Ken.
Avatar 9:21am Listener Okasa:

Wait! Not Aladdin... the golden fish gif was from the MST3K'd flim "Magic Voyage of Sinbad"!

Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:25am Caryn:

@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 9:26am Listener Okasa:

@Caryn - So, the original movie made sense, but the dubbers changed it to Arabia and Sinbad? Cool, thanks!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:28am Caryn:

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

Howdy Ken good morning. My comment is two wks late but wanted to tell you that indeed, "You and I" stinks. When I watched it though, had no idea it was originally supposed to be a t.A.T.u. movie; I just watched it for Anton Yelchin cos he's a cutie

Tyler, wasnt the tATu movie absolutely worthless? It was so bad it wasnt even good! I turned it off halfway through.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 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".
Avatar 🚽 Swag For Life Member 9:59am Ken:

Caryn, it was so much worse even than that. There was only like 2 seconds of footage of Mischa Barton working in the meat factory.

"working in the meat factory"? sounds like a euphemism
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:02am Caryn:

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?"

Guys I need some serious help here!!!1

Recently I have been waking up in the middle of the night around 4am. As if that wasn't enough, I wake up with the Ru Paul's "Jealous of My Boogie" earworm! Does anyone knows where to get a good earworm painkiller?

Avatar 11:35am Ike:

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.
