    Just returned from a weekend with some of my buddies at a cabin about 2 hours from Oslo. Lots of boozin' and wise-crackin', but also fine dinners and a lovely walk around the coastal area in sparkling November sun. Tired today. sleep
    I am extremely serious.

    OK, so what are everyone's plans for tonight?

    I've just drunk an entire bottle of red wine (Rosso Piceno 2006- bought because it was advertised as an ECOLOGICAL wine), and am heading to a party in a short while (where I will be the oldest, and there are lots of good-lookin' young girls, but so be it).
    I am extremely serious.

    There´s always a candle hidden somewhere; the only thing you have to do is find it tongue Well, that and a healing meal & nap.

    Damn, I´m supposed to go to a party tonight and it seems that migraine doesn´t want to let me go crazy
    I still have a chance though, it is still quite soon and pills should do its work :crossed fingers:

    You too Tim? I´m not alone on this then! Painful ain´t it? sad cry Fortunately this one is a 2 out of 5 in Marcel´s rating of migraine (that´s why I´m able to be in front of the computer. Anything above 3 means going to bed and stay there ´til it goes away).

    Indeed. Actually I am listening Alberto Iglesias´"Che". Not in the mood for anything bigger / louder.

    When it goes to 5 it's explode time!

    That's why I asked Steven about playing music because on a MGR level 5 music is intollerable, light is intollerable and the slightest sharp noise makes you feel like murdering everyone in sight.

    Everything is intollerable on a level 5 migraine, even yourself.

    Perhaps not a level 5 migraine, but anything below. I don't have it on very loud, and I lay there in complete darkness... the music is so relaxing, which allows you to rest and therefore 'heal' quicker. It's my miracle cure - Patent pending of course.

    Agreed, and I will endeavour to find any such preformance next time as this one was a bit of a letdown. The venue -a concert hall in The Hague- was quite clinical.

    Sadly though the worst part was this particular director's interpretation who seemed to think that all Baroque music is fluffy, rushing through (mainly) the choral parts at almost 150% of the speed of a normal performance (guess he had to make the last train?). There was a far too great emphasis on (classic Baroque style) staccato triplets and until the very, very, very end (the Amen chorus) there was no solemnity or lyricism to be found in any of the choral parts.

    The arias were generally fine, but for the rest it was like attending a 17th century ball rather than one of the truly genius works of true reverence.

    The orchestra - the dutch Residentie Orkest- was just fine: it's one of the finest orchestras of the country, and the soloists were quite astonishingly good (especially the alto who gave an absolutely spellbinding performance in "He Was Despised"), but the chorus at 32 heads was just too small to carry the power of some of the more fff parts.

    Oh well.
    There'll always be next year (and in the meantime I have a couple of the best preformances in the world on CD so that is a comfort. smile )
