noctem

it's been a tough week, tbh. my hands hurt so much that i basically had to put myself on the equivalent of bed rest to let them recover. i'm seeing my doctor this week for something unrelated, so i'll be talking to him about that, but in the meantime: ow! my hands really fucking hurt!

since i haven't been able to play video games, i've instead been watching tv. i'm nearly finished with the pitt, which is a very realistic (and apparently quite accurate) medical drama. it's done in the style of 24 in that each episode is one consecutive hour of a shift in an ER, so it's got great continuity and character work. i'm not at all surprised it did so well at the emmys recently; it's a very good show. i've never really watched much in the way of medical dramas, so it's nice to have started the genre with something of this quality.

other than that i've just been reading a lot. i'm up to 10 books read for the year, which is nowhere close to my goal of 40 books, but is pretty good considering i read nothing until june. i'd like to try and hit 15 or 20 books read overall this year, so we'll see how i've done once december rolls around.

i think that's all for now.
