Girl Genius for 4/13 (

) In the process of figuring out what shows we're doing this year. This is complicated by the insane price of airfare, and the lack of trains. Did you know there's apparently only one train A WEEK between L.A. and Dallas?

Blah. I am sick. I did not seal myself into an impenetrable bubble, but like to think that I took reasonable precautions. Guess my number just came up. The only symptoms– besides the usual 'bad cold' suite– is a tendency towards maudlin philosophizing while trapped in bed. I need a good book.
