Had stuff to write about, but that will have to wait. Briefly: Sunday was fun (after the morning, that is, when I did not make it to church but at least managed to pick up a prescription before the pharmacist decided it was time to put it back on the shelf), nice time spent with people at Eastern Market and then wandering around that neighborhood in a search for hot beverages. Walking around while spending time with people was good and I have no regrets. However, I am glad that I listened to that little voice in my head telling me to pick up some orange juice from the store on my way home, because my cold has gotten noticeably worse since then.

Plans for tomorrow: Go to doctor's office and see if anyone there is available and willing to listen to me breathe. I very much Do Not Want bronchitis for Christmas. For that matter, I would very much like to stop getting a new cold every time I think I've recovered from the last one.

Unrelated to any of the preceding: My favorite holiday track this year seems to be the Josh Groban & Brian McKnight version of "Angels We Have Heard on High." I'd also be willing to listen to Annie Lennox's version of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" another time or two.

i'm sorry you're sick again. hope there's someone who'll doctor you tomorrow. (my sinus infection/beginning bronchitis is responding to the z-pack, but boy, that stuff makes me stupid and clumsy.)

at borders yesterday, i think it must've been a Glee christmas album they were torturing me with. there's precisely one Glee number i like, the one that went viral with the boys singing Teenage Dream. that is too cute!

i hope you feel better soon!

Thank you, Vicki.

I've been lucky enough to have heard very little of Glee. Is it really that bad??

I hope you feel much better soon too!

i've never seen the show, but borders kept playing the albums in heavy rotation, and it got so they all knew how much i hated the music! it made me want to pull out my hair. but this is lovely: teenage dream.

thanks, cb. i'll be taking lots of DanActive and (once it arrives from drugstore.com) Align to keep my GI tract in order after the antibiotics.

I don't know anything about Align, but DanActive has worked well for me when certain antibiotic side effects threatened to get out of control. So here's hoping everything works out well for you!

I love being in a congregation of untrained singers trying to get through all sixteen "O"s in "Gloria" without losing their breath.

I heard Annie Lennox performing God rest you Merry gentlemen on the Andrew Marr show and it was great, but I heard the recorded version this morning and I didn't like it at all. They seem to have processed her voice!!

Can't think why. It's not like she can't sing...

[hummingwolf.livejournal.com]

The vocal processing was probably an attempt to make her sound more otherworldly, though the most likely result of this attempt is that music fans three decades from now will hear the track and immediately be able to guess which year it was recorded.

It's very much of its time:-(

If they ever release an acoustic set, it'll be brilliant. It was brilliant on the Andrew Marr show...
