Things Not to Do:

1) Do not watch a documentary on Emma Goldstien and the rise and fall of the Anarchist movment in turn-of-the-20th-century America, and the failure of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, followed by the Sodderbergh-remake of "Solaris".

2) To not attempt to write a blog entry about this while your right middle-finger has swollen to the size of a ping-pong ball and is causing you not an easily ignored amount of discomfort.

3) Couple this with a continuing lack of a good night's sleep.
