OK, so I burned my index finger early in the day Sunday. It's fine now, except that the skin on top has taken on a slight reptilian texture in comparison to its fellows. Yesterday, it was established that my "carpal tunnel" that won't quite go away is likely to actually be tennis elbow, or maybe both. I used an Ace bandage to wrap the area just below the elbow where wrapping is supposed to be helpful. I did not wrap too tightly. I am, however, a stomach sleeper, and sometimes I sleep on one or both of my arms. The end result is that my forearm, wrist, and hand swelled up like sausages while I slept. They don't hurt, but they're stiff. I'm sure the swelling will go down now that I've removed the bandage and am about to go put my arm on ice. My dignity will take longer to recover.

It's beginning to bother me that I neither kept track of the books I read in 2009 nor finished a lot of them. (Unfinished, for example, in spite of the time I have invested in them so far and the fact that I plan to finish them: The Girl Who Played With Fire, Guns, Germs, and Steel, and Inherent Vice. Also Godel, Escher, Bach and a bunch of others.) Here are some of the books I know I finished. I will edit this list as I remember more.... The Art of Being Kind by Stefan Einhorn Paris to the Moon by Adam Gopnik (I'm in the middle of it) The Black Moth by Georgette Heyer Real World by Natsuo Kirino The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larsson (actually read half of it in 2008) Foreign Tongue by Vanina Marsot How to Win at College by Cal Newport The Dragon Scroll by I. J. Parker Rashomon Gate by I. J. Parker Black Arrow by I. J. Parker Andromeda Klein by Frank Portman (this might be my book of the year!) Machiavelli in 90 Minutes by Paul Strathern (a brief bio; writing research) The Tattoo Murder Case by Akimitsu Takagi Also the usual pile of craft and reference books that I don't really track in the long term, and things like Mail Me Art and I Love Your Style. I'm definitely going to try to read at least 1 book per week in 2010. It's bothering me that I haven't managed so much. And my 2010 journal will have a page or three just for tracking the titles of things I've read. Tags: books
