Now I must lunch...it's too early for "dinner" or "supper." But I must eat. And since I just got paid yesterday (yea!), I will go somewhere. But where?

It is really annoying when I don’t listen to my instincts. At 7:30 this morning Echo and I left to hike on Mt Ashland before it got hot. As I was leaving I looked at her water bottle (it clips to my waist and has a flip out water bowl) while an inner voice said “don’t take this, there is plenty of water on the hike". I had a strange feeling while I was thinking this, but do I leave it-NO.

Today I finally remembered to take the digital camera, just wish Keith had remembered to charge it. At one point I sat down to photograph the wild flowers. Farther down the trail I noticed I had lost the water bottle. Back I go to find it, not looking at the path but on the side where the bottle would most likely be. I know better than to take my eyes off the trail for long and sure enough I tripped on a rock, went flying in the air and felt as if I were sliding into first base. Fortunately I hit soft dirt as I skid about two feet before coming to a stop. Echo as usual, when I fall, sat on me.

I found it interesting that only women I passed on the trail noticed, or commented, I had fallen. I really was covered in dirt. First thing I did when I returned home was throw my clothes into the washing machine.

So now I’m sitting here, fine but feeling a bit sore and wondering why I didn’t listen to myself.

I don't know the line of the song or the metre etc but Thames does rhyme with "Ems" anyway. It could work!

The last syllable of requiems may rhyme with London's river Thames, but "requiems" is never accented on the third syllable. Therefore, this is a forced rhyme. As "requiems" is accented on the first syllable, to rhyme it, you'd need a three syllable rhyme. Like the time Mark McGuire (or was it Manny Mota) spoke for all of the Seattle Mariner batters and said "While swinging the bat on deck, we M's/don't like to listen to requiems."

Here endeth the lesson for today DR Jane.

Wow DR Jane. I hope that you are okay.

But I did laugh when you said the dog sat on you.

I would not, however, lump Smokey Joe's Cafe in with shows like Mamma Mia or Urban Cowboy. Those last two shows are book shows with music from other sources, but Smokey Joe's Cafe is a tribute revue to Leiber and Stoller and it's not supposed to have any kind of plot or story. It's just an evening of their songs presented on stage.

Point taken. There's a distinction between a songbook revue and a show that just sticks a lot of old hit songs into a newly-written book, like the first of my worsts.

The second of my worsts I've already given enough clues to, a mega-hit Eurotrash popera that glorified parental suicide.

Ever notice that "parental" is an anagram for both "paternal" and "prenatal" - neat, huh?

Jennifer we enjoyed CALENDAR GIRLS. It was sad at time but mostly it was cute funny. I’m glad we watched it on DVD so we could back up when we didn’t catch what they said.

Emily did you like it?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #70 on:** July 31, 2004, 04:05:24 PM »

Requiem is accented on third syllable in some places it seems DR Noel - not a problem in OZ. Diffrence here is whether the word is uses as a noun or an adjective.

Jane · « **Reply #71 on:** July 31, 2004, 04:06:40 PM »

Thanks Jennifer, I’m okay just feeling slightly stupid and a wee bit sore. Mostly I’m feeling lucky not have done any major damage.

Echo made me laugh too.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #72 on:** July 31, 2004, 04:07:33 PM »

I wonder if Madam Butterfly is "Eurotrash"?

Noel · « **Reply #73 on:** July 31, 2004, 04:08:30 PM »

Are people just annoyed by these guessing games? Am I sending everyone fleeing for tarnation?

Tonight I'm going to a Broadway play. About a year ago, it was announced that the star of tonight's play would be coming to Broadway playing a famous writer, opposite Judd Hirsch. That never happened, but the star made it to the same theatre (and Hirsch was seen in a different new play this past season at a different theatre).

Jane - Glad only your dignity is hurt! And yes, sometimes those "inner voices" need to be listened to. Unless they're telling you to blow someone up. (And perhaps even then,)

Not according to Webster's.
But I thank you. I'm always fascinated to learn of alternative pronunciations in other lands. If I ever set a show in Australia, that requiems/Thames rhyme will be available to me.

Time to feed and walk the Wonderdog. My landlords (nice, quiet people) have LOUD guests staying with them this week. My inner voice is telling me to do something nasty to one of the guests who sits by the pool just outside my little guesthouse, screaming full voice as I try to work.

François de Paris · « **Reply #77 on:** July 31, 2004, 04:19:19 PM »

Better to have the dog sit on you and not the reverse, dear reader Jane!

We'll take your story for true, Jane, but won't say a word to your Hubby!! A roll in the grass, hey! < wink!>

Now, if the medium is rare, is the message rare too?

Blue moon? Bloody moon, moody blues..... I have no idea what i'm talking about!

I can think of some but won't give titles away! No way, José!

Panni, I forgot you have work to do from your meeting yesterday. Is it about what you expected?

François de Paris · « **Reply #83 on:** July 31, 2004, 04:26:21 PM »

Just a "stupid" question:

does accentuation prevails when dealing with singing words, opposite to speaking words, if what i'm typing makes sense!

MBarnum · « **Reply #84 on:** July 31, 2004, 04:27:44 PM »

Oh, DR Jane, that was quite a hike! When you said that Echo sat on you I just burst out laughing! LOL! Sorry about that, but I couldn't help myself. I am glad you weren't badly hurt, however!

François de Paris · « **Reply #85 on:** July 31, 2004, 04:28:39 PM »

Yes, Jane, I assume it's better to roll in the grass with Keith; that way you can fill up the washing machin! -- excuse my being French.... or my.... Eurotrashing!

MBarnum · « **Reply #86 on:** July 31, 2004, 04:30:56 PM »

Just saw that the 1943 German version of TITANIC has been released on DVD. Might be interesting.

I just took a bunch of DVDs down to sell at the used DVD store, so I do not need to buy any more DVDs! But of course I have room now for the next shipment of Bollywood DVDs that are on the way as I write this! LOL!

Jane · « **Reply #87 on:** July 31, 2004, 04:32:27 PM »

MBarnum you might want to modify your message to me.

I expected a lot and got a lot. But at least they were very specific without being autocratic about it. We had a good (three hour!) discussion. And, although it will be hard work, I can do what needs to be done.
The kind of meeting I hate is when they know they don't want what you've given them, but they don't know what they DO want. (Which is very often what happens.)
