I'm hoping by making this post it will bump some images down so that I can post a relevant picture for my new wallpaper post on Facebook.  Today was really good.  I woke up and read Snow by Orhan Pamuk, I'm down to the last hundred or so pages, I might have been able to read more pages if one of my room mates wasn't trying to drown out the music I was playing (with my door closed) at a reasonable but audible volume with his loud stereo in his computer room.  It wasn't just that he was playing his so it was almost drowning mine out, but that he was starting it then stopping it.  Either he really didn't like what he was hearing or he's having a really bad day, I know he's having a hard time in general right now.  I feel like I need to get out of his hair and I feel like trying to be diplomatic about it is not an option.  I don't know how to talk about it without what I want to communicate coming across like a full scale assault.  I just took it personal because I never play music when he's playing music and I was already playing music when he turned his on.  Of course, my pride got to me because I didn't want to back down by switch my music to headphones.  I realized after the fact, that I did in fact, have just the right cable to extend the length of my headphone's cord and it was possible for me to continue to read in bed.  I found the situation unacceptable so therefore I felt upset even though these feelings may or may not have been justified or held merit.  Anyways, we both managed to be civil while he ate when we finally were forced to acknowledge each other after I got back from the gym and showered.  Today at the gym I went all out.  I did an hour and a half of cardio: 30 minutes on the elliptical and an hour on the exercise bike but I couldn't quite figure out the stepper yet.  I did some strength training as well.  Eventually I found myself getting distracted by an older blonde woman, I'm not a blonde type of guy but this one, well, she was gorgeous, and so I used it as an excuse to leave.  Maleness aside, perhaps even you could called that humanness aside, I came home and felt great, I burned 700 calories just on cardio.  I put an extra scoop of whey protein in my protein shake to make up for the intense workout.  Well, I feel great and have no complaints.  I still feel like I want to move out and maybe rent a room with Ben and his sponsor in Scotts Valley.
