Tender is the night, bitter is the morning

Today is bitter cold again. It started out oddly, as the trains were running very late and on opposite tracks. Thankfully I didn't go to RVC, as my regularly sched'd train came only 20 min. late (so I would've saved a whole 5-10 min). My gripe is that the conductor of the earlier train could've picked up some of the bewildered passengers and did not, and I though that was rude (especially taking the weather in to consideration) and the announcements didn't start until after that train had left.

Having finished Ex Machina last night (it turns out it was the final installment of the series -- easily one of my top 3 finite titles), I began reading F. Scott Fitzgerald's Tender Is The Night today upon a strong endorsement by Henry Rollins in Dull Roar (I think that's the last one I read). It's starting off in a similar setting and time as The Garden Of Eden, so that's fine but it'll be a dense read and when I'm finished with it I'll have to nerd it up and maybe read some non-fiction afterward. I'm only about 20 pages in, we'll see what happens. There are a lot of stuffy aristocrats already so I want to smash my fist through their collective, fictitious faces but I'll let the story unfold before I do.

I'm closing my eyes a lot because it is just too damn cold. Last night I worked out my chest, tris and back in a compact 35-minute session and am feeling pretty good. I want to run today but I don't know how good of an idea that would be. I can always wait until the weekend.

I was smart enough to read the sign at the WFC entrance today and knew that the bike bath is fenced off so I took to the street and moved quite quickly. WFC1's bike bath actually seems nearly complete so I guess that's something to look forward to.

I woke up this morning (to Wolfmother) and realized it was only Thursday. Bummer. I've got one sick day remaining on the year and I know I'll need to use it.

My playlist today is pretty badass and the Hellyeah track is especially good, not just because it's new but because the lyrics are what I'm looking for in a song.

I didn't have to stop at Albany Street and despite the wind and the frostiness, it was a smooth ride.

Thank you for reading.
