I've posted half my cards and the others should go out today, when I find my stamps. Yo, kanzenhanzai! I got my card with the naked Roger and Rafa inside! It was awesome, thank you. puddingcat, kispexi2 and moshesque, I got yours too, thank you! There were no hot naked men inside, but I can forgive you for that. This time.

Other news: short review of Bentley Little's 'The Walking': IT'S SHOW NOT TELL, BENTLEY. Why is the horror genre so disappointing? It makes me sad. Also, he is called Bentley and that really set up my expectations. This book had some intriguing blurb on it, and then I read it, and... not so great. There was a good central idea, spooky, but everything else was flat.

I peevishly abandoned it on the train, swapping it for a book that was lying on an empty seat. Perhaps left by some other similarly cheesed-off reader? The book was called 'Of Merchants and Heroes' by Paul Walters, a historical novel set in the third century BC and it's about a rather unhappy fellow called Marcus. The style reminds me a lot of Renault, but that's no bad thing for me.

There's a new challenge up on saiyuki_time. I really want to try and write something for it this week.

I miss tennis. A lot. Just fyi.

Health news: ( cut for boring )

I bought a new computer chair this afternoon, from Staples, centre of the universe. It has many levers that make it incredibly adjustable and here I am typing with almost no discomfort at all - an amazing difference from my old chair. Just sitting in my old chair this morning made my arm start to tingle and ache. My typing posture now would have ergonomists everywhere licking me in spasms of delight, I think. The chair goes by the charming name of 'Leather Faced Operators Chair'.

Physio tomorrow, for more poking and manipulating. I went to the osteopath on Friday and she told me I have double crush! Which means the median nerve in my right arm is pinched not only at the wrist, giving me truly horrible random tingling in my thumb and forearm, but it is being pinched in my neck too. That is alongside the tennis elbow. I have moved my mouse to the left side, I have been given exercises, I have to swim but only with a float, most importantly I have to cut back on time spent writing. Big sigh.
