Still ill and slowly realising that I’ve not left the apartment since coming home sick on Tuesday. That, along with the combination of mindless video games in a zombified flu state, getting displaced with time, and the one book I’ve been reading is about a movie about a journey to a room (Zona by Geoff Dyer, suprisingly good given that it’s just about one film).

It’s got me think I should probably get out of the house today before I get anymore stir-crazy.
