Update, just this side of Og.

Am not feeling well. Haven't been for several days. Dry (to the point of cracking and bleeding) nasal passages, post-nasal drip leaving back of throat raw, stuffed head, blocky-feeling ears. General malaise helped a bit by sleeping 8+ hrs. a night but last night not even the NyQuil could blast my head open enough to breathe properly and get to sleep immediately. Stupid NyQuil.

Drinking enough tea to float a destroyer. Also eating much soup, taking multivites.

Working on Hellblazer: Hogwarts on train in the evenings anyway.

On another note, this line appeared in the NY Daily News today:

"Ashanti will be playing Dorothy in "The Muppet Wizard of Oz" this spring."

Have looked on IMDB. Said movie will be made-for-TV. Jeffrey Tambor is to play the Wizard, Queen Latifah is Auntie Em, David Alan Grier for Uncle Henry, and for some reason Quentin Tarantino has a part as himself.

Thought you should know.

And this is how we know we are sick, on more levels than one:
