hmm, apparently the shockingly high typing to sleep ratio has yeilded a ganglion cyst. on the top of my left wrist. on the list of things i need to have happen to me, i don't remember seeing "getting a ganglion cyst" anywhere near the top 3 million. check out ths link though. their suggestion? "hitting it with a large book to rupture the cyst". classic. i'm thinking of trying that just for pure comic value.

update, 5 mins later

apparently these guys aren't a fan of the large book cure: "It is not a good idea to try to smash the cyst yourself with a heavy object. Even if this home remedy succeeded at first, the cyst would almost always fill up again with fluid. In addition, you could seriously damage your wrist.".

wednesday, 0645, and i am introduced to warring schools of thought on large book cyst removal. this is probably the weirdest start to my day, ever.
