But in that tube, can't even have headphones on because the speakers are magnets, and they're targeting everything in the head.
Just listening to that machine doing it's boring thing. Good thing they gave me earplugs.
I can't go an hour, even watching TV or surfing the net, without getting up to play piano or grab a guitar.
I'm most appreciative to get rescheduled on that faster machine.
