I had a few things that I was going to mention but I can't really think straight at the moment. I appear to have come down with some horrible, flu-like, zombie virus.

My sinuses, which can occasionally cause me problems, are like concrete; my left eye feels like it's going to pop out and my head feels like it might just spontaneously melt.

The thing is, tomorrow I am going to Brussels to show some work.

I'm actually quite worried. I remember the last time I flew with a head cold- I didn't think much of it at the time until the plane got to a certain altitude and then I distinctly remember thinking that my head might actually just split open under the pressure, like a fat watermelon, and leak everywhere.

So that's how I'm going to be spending my pancake day. At 30,000 feet with my brain in a bag.
