You know, I thought I was joking my last few months up north when I said my horrible headaches were caused by my brain shrinking from disuse and so splitting from the side of my skull. But the longer I have no Economist, the worse my headaches and nausea are getting. So maybe it's true... maybe I DO need constant inputs to keep my brain inflated. Maybe if I stop taking any knowledge for long enough, I'll just die. In horrible pain.

All this to say, I feel really sick and I want to lie in bed with an Economist instead of going to work.
