Just cleaning up my blogging folder if you don't mind. They're all pics--you can click them to see them at full size.
A cartoon posted by Friendpaul on facebook.
A friend who's newly working a desk job was asking about how to stop neck and shoulder pain. I don't think about it much anymore because of being a writer since childhood. I was firmly planted at a typewriter/computer from teen years onward, and experienced my first really sharp, awful neck pains around grade 9.
I found exercises like these in a magazine or something and they really worked. Took awhile, but the pain went away over time. I still use them. #14 also helps against carpal tunnel (I have another set of exercises for that.)
And I do some of these too for my back, shoulders and wrists. ...Thought I'd share since many of my online-ee friends are writers. :-) If I find my book, I'll try to scan the carpal tunnel ones one day. I'm always misplacing it.
And then, totally at random again... some illustrations from a graphic novel series. I read book 2 then realized book 3 isn't out yet! And not anytime soon!
But no wonder, look at the detail in these! (It's about an English teaching assistant in a Japanese village.)
My library also doesn't have the rest of the Aya series. And I'm about to read book 1 of a series, that they don't have book 2 for. Hm. Hm!

That would drive me crazy. I love series but I want to read all of them in order. Unless I don't like that particular series.
So many things about the USA that are just plain sad now.
Can you request the rest of the series? Here we can place a hold and have it delivered to the branch I use.
I'm with Judy, if I'm reading a series, I want to read them in order. I think that waiting for a new book to come out is one of the hardest things.
Thank you for the exercises. I think we can all get twisted into odd postures if we're not careful so those stretches are probably good for all of us.
And I'm glad to find I'm not the only one who wants to read a series in order. And if I happen upon an author I really like, I'll go back and find all the earliest books she/he wrote and get ALL of them so that I can read EVERYTHING in the order in which it was written. And I keep them on my shelf in chronological order as well. These things matter.
I always forget they have interlibrary loan, actually. So I'll do that. But there's only 2 books in that series so far, so maybe they'll just buy it. But for Aya, they're missing 4, 5 and 6, and I don't think the series is finished.
Mind, now that I have a job again I've got to start scaling back on my Hobbies! lol I've suddenly got too many Hobbies on my to do list!
Doonesbury and Garfield ... my daily cartoon hit ... have you seen what Jeff (from Doonesbury) is up to now? ... I just wanna whack him upside the head!!!
No, I don't have any daily cartoons. What's he doing??
Backstory; he joined the CIA ... failed miserably. got a job with a blackwateresque bunch of thugs ... failed miserably ... started blogging about his imaginary adventures as a 'caped crusader' in Afghanistan as the 'red rascal'... and has just signed a publishing deal for a book based on his 'exploits'
I'm really hoping he will continue his streak of 'failed miserably's'
