Bleah. Can't sleep

[elfs]

It's 3:30 in the morning and I can't seem to fall asleep. I woke up, my brain full of trivialities: a snippet from a Jethro Tull song, an oddly viral ad for a beer I do not drink, another snippet from the old Grammar Rock song Verb, a curious impulse to discover if there's a Japanese translation of MegaTokyo (in theory there is, but it seems to be down right now).

Nothing about solving a story problem, or a code issue, or life, or the kids. Nothing about love, romance, sex. No suggestions for what to cook tomorrow. Obviously, my brain is installed backwards.

I seem to have strained my left wrist at the gym. Not sure how. On fallenpegasus's suggestion, I only did eight reps on the first circuit doing 40lb flys, and I could do eight on the second (previously, I did 10/7, which shows that I was lifting too much the first circuit through). I don't remember feeling strained while I was lifting, but that's probably when it happened.

I also bit my lip a couple of days ago, and the injury seems to have coalesced into a callus. I keep biting it, too. Really annoying.

Yuck, can't sleep either.

Sorry about the wrist strain. As the weights go up, the little details of posture get more important. Keep your wrists straight, try to keep the weight balanced on your hand, such that you don't actually need to use your fingers to "hang on to it". And sometimes strains happen anyway.

Last night appears to have been a good night for not sleeping. Sorry you were up too.

Moby did what I consider a terrific rendition of "Verb" on the album Schoolhouse Rock Rocks.
