Back with a new haircut and a new voice - about an octave lower due to the lingering cold ;)

The iPhone is heading for the Verizon network, tablets abound at CES 2011, WikiLeaks saga drips on with Twitter and Facebook in the fall-out, and more.

No News from a sick Siggy

Having a stinking cold with a hacking cough and a raging sore throat doesn't exactly make for a good news reading performance. Sure, my voice has dropped an octave and is gravelly enough to get a job doing movie voice overs ("In a world where machines have taken over...") but I'm tired and achy and a great believer in herbal remedies. For a cold, read "whiskey, hot water, and sugar."

So rather than being bedecked in my new Edo Tone suit with blue shirt and dimpled tie, bottomed out with a pair of black Oxfords from Cattivo e Cattiva, I'm stuck in real life in a real lie bed hugging a real life duvet and sniffling into a box of tissues, occasionally stumbling out to grab a hot lemon or to suck a Fisherman's Friend.

Tomorrow I will go to work doped up with whatever over-the-counter meds I can funnel down my throat, and maybe slip a hip flask into my bag so I can have a wee dram while the office door is closed.

Don't yah just hate having a cold?

Strange as it may seem, I have a real life that intrudes into my Second. This week is an example of one such intrusion that kept me out of the MBC News studios. Sad. Lisa Hermano is also missing in action but that's just coincidence. Or is it?
