After a week of working in my office, I find that my left arm starts to go numb and weak after about ten minutes sitting at my desk. I used to work mainly in the living room in the comfy chair, watching tv. Then my wireless connection crapped out and I haven't had time to do whatever to fix it. I have a nice ergonomic desk chair, and the desk is the right height, so WTF is up with this?
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Zenkitty, are you leaning your arm against an arm-rest? You might be cutting off blood supply to your hand. Happens to me in my mouse-hand whenever I use my ergonomic chair with the perfect height arm rests. (I seem to be best off working in bed...)

All is well that ends in pizza.
Meep!
There was no spoiler there. It was just weird seeing a vaguely sci-fi thing from Fry.
Meep! was not for spoiler. Meep! was for it's time and Ahemming may commence soon.

Nope, Seska, arms are free to move. And it's not just my hand, it's the whole arm. I must be pinching a nerve somehow. I know I've got a misaligned vertebra, but it's lower down, so that couldn't be the problem.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
What I did Friday night: rope corset, front; rope corset, back, rope gauntlet.
I think I saw that on Martha!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
After recalibrating the Rock Band guitar twice, and then realizing that it was much easier if I thought of it as a bass rather than a guitar, I think I've finally gotten the hang of it. Also, discovered that Rock Band guitar messes up my left wrist in the exact same way that actual guitar does. I think that, if I'm going to be in pain, it should be from making actual music. So, sticking to the drums for now, which are way more fun anyway. (And which I'm much better at.)

Ahh, OK. Sorry. Am a stressed out little Watcher-in-Training. Doctor Who helped though!
Zenkitty, that sounds very strange. Sorry that I have no further ideas. Trapped nerves can come from the oddest things, though - even sitting in a way that you're not used to.

Teppy, great corset!
We were going to go to a poetry reading tonight, but TCG's mouth is still hurting him and I have a massive headache. So, a quiet night at home instead.

There was an article about Fernet drinking in SF in our paper today that made me think of juliana. I half expected her to be mentioned somewhere in the article.

Turns out a little yoga eases the problem, so yeah. Probably a trapped nerve, and maybe I need a new desk chair. Better a pinched nerve than the world's slowest cardiac event, anyway.
