I do, and Emma Stone too, but to me their roles didn't seem like they were as challanging for them as some of the other actors' roles.

I am not looking forward to today's trek to Union Square.  I wll leave here around 9:30.  This afternoon, I have a phone call about this Moonshine & Mistletoe recording which hangs over me like the proverbial sword of Damocles.  It's been dragged out so long that it's gone from being something I was enthusiastic about to somethingI'd just as soon see not happen.

The first tests of Baker were better, but everything fell by the wayside when producer Joseph Levine got into a war with Joe Sargent and his Carol Lynley version of the story.

Garlic, Vitamin C in huge doses, Echinacea in huge doses, Zinc -- not necessarily all of these, but whatever appeals at the time.  Plus hot soup, tea, whatever. 

I totally acknowledge that a couple of those have their detractors as far as their actual effectiveness, but I think if something "works for you", then it's worthwhile.  Another theory is that you should take a bit of Echinacea every day to aid your immune system, as opposed to just when you feel like you're susceptible to a cold.

My last dream this morning was one of those in which I had the ability to fly -- i.e., hover and move about several feet off the ground.  Do any of you have these?  I know they're somewhat common, and I've had a number of them over the years but not very recently.  Mine seem to start with a landscape or surroundings that I'm already familiar with in real life, which become more and more fantastical as the dream proceeds.  They're quite magical.

I have this vague memory of reading an article which said that there was a study of the efficacy of Echinacea.  What it found was that it wasn't effective at all. :-\

I had to have some ice cream after reading BK's post. I ended up with a scoop of key lime pie that was surprisingly good. The main ice cream tasted of both key lime juice and heavy cream with streaks of buttery graham cracker crumbs in it.

Well, I just bought The Exterminating Angel (https://www.criterion.com/films/1076-the-exterminating-angel) from Criterion's 1/2-off sale and and The Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeoisie (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004Z1FM/) from Amazon.  This one is out of print, so I couldn't get it from Criterion. 

I got these two because Sondheim's next musical (that he's actually working on!) is based on these two movies.  Last year, I recorded them off of TCM and made my own DVDs, but those were just standard-def DVD-Rs.  These are officially released DVDs with bonus material!
