Listen to PRAYING FOR TIME by George Michael.
I'm stuck at home today, unable to shake off this cold (or swine flu) that's been dogging me all week, and hoping I can be more productive between naps than sitting miserable in my office. Mixed results so far, except for the naps.
Anyway, Laura was pestering me to do a retrospective on George Michael's "Listen Without Prejudice" album, but I honestly have no idea why. I've never claimed to think it was a criminally underrated secret masterwork, or anything like that. I told Laura that she should do the series if she wanted, but she's too busy chasing twins around to follow through!
Having said that, I have said that I liked the opening track on the album (today's selection), because I remember hearing it on the ferry between Copenhagen and Gothenburg and being relatively moved by it. This was in 1996, after nearly being sick in Dusseldorf, on a fairly pathetic trip by myself up to Norway, where I got rained on for three days and subsisted on a diet of sugar waffles I had packed in my backpack.
With the weather the way it is today (blah), my head the way it is (and blah), I'm naturally drawn to this song. I even had a sugar waffle for lunch! Good times.

hmmm, I feel a bit insulted.
insulted??? I just wrote this long post about your album! this song is really the only one I know from that album anyway, unless there are more singles
...though i do apologize if my teasing was off
ok, ok...not really insulted. more singles?? yes, there are more singles!
You're sick? Do you have a fever?
Love, Mom
yes, unfortunately. fortunately, my fever's not in the "call a doctor immediately" range, though that's scant consolation at the moment
