Net access and gym problems

So, saturday morning, I left to go running with the veggies. I got there late. I tried running with my backpack, which left some marks on my lower back, not unlike smaller versions of the trampoline marks from the spring. I also tried running the same direction they probably went. I only managed to keep up the run with the backpack for like 1/3 of the distance, or maybe a little over a mile. The weight wasn’t a problem, but the shifting, chafing, bouncing, etc, was a problem. The new shoes, btw, do indeed rock for running.

When I got home, the net didn’t work. I fiddled with my computer for a sec, determined it could see the router, but couldn’t see the outside world. I went down to check the cable modem, and it was gone. Not there. Missing. Yet the power adapter was still there. Ben was still asleep, the house had been locked while I was gone, and there was no sign of . Fucked up. Two major possibilities occurred to me. Former residents and the cable company. How the cable company would have gotten in is beyond me. Why they would have taken it, end of service, perhaps? Neighbors make more sense, but according to Brian the modem is generally the property of the cable company, not the customer. It makes no sense that either of them would have left the power adapter, though, I suppose it makes more sense for the cable company than the former residents. It could also be the most bizarre and selective theft ever. None of these theories make sense to me.

Later in the day, and came over, and we talked about as potential third roommate. Looks like this may well happen. I then had Ross help me cart computing equipment over to ‘s apartment, where I spent most of the rest of my non-sleeping weekend time.

Sunday, I had to turn in my towel and locker membership foo at the university rec center, two weeks before my summer gym membership is replaced with my automatic grad studently gym membership. Oh, and the rec center is closed monday through friday this week for maintenance. That means busing over to the st paul campus (not _too_ inconvenient) to use the gym. Which sucks even more than the rec center does. *sigh*

Need to look into that ymca membership pronto.
