What's the Opposite of Progress?

I don't know the word for it, but I've got a perfect example...

[Still living like a squatter.]

[But now I have this behemoth delivered to take up yet another room.]

[It's barely noticeable really.]

Now the obvious question is why don't I just put the giant mattress in my bedroom and sleep on it. And the obvious answer is this thing weighs about 500lbs. I carried it up the stairs (yes my stairs, the 5 flights of stairs) by myself and couldn't carry it another inch after that. So there it sits. Ready to disrupt my life until the frame is delivered. Which is the other reason I don't move it into my room yet. I'll just have to move it out again to set up the frame, and then back in. That's approximately 1000lbs of moving that I don't want to do.

So here we are, at an impasse... me not wanting to move the mattress, and the mattress not wanting to be moved. Who will win this stubborn battle of wits? Do I have the greater patience, or does the mattress? We may never know for sure.

But we do know for sure is that I am just now realizing that the bed frame, with two dressers, is arriving via UPS. I thought it was being delivered. But no... it's coming via UPS. Have you had the realization of why this is a monumental detail yet?

As I mentioned earlier, I live on the 5th floor. UPS delivers to the 1st floor.

Ouch.

*** Synthetic's Room Revamp ***

So, it has been a long laborous journey thus far in attempting to make my room look somewhat cool. When it began I had the most broke carpeting and walls you could imagine. There were stains everywhere and the carpet didn't even make it to the moulding. There were gaps where you could see down past the floorboards and in between the walls and the floor. Sadly I have no pictures of this, but I assure it was mad classy.

I began by replacing the carpet with a lush stain resistant product listed as being the colour "Pompador". I use the u in colour because a color like "Pompador" is so freaking stylish it deserves the u. The walls, which previously looked like someone damped and smeared newspapers all over them, were repainted in a dark grey. I believe it was some derivative of "Slate".

[Seen here with copious amounts of nerdly ethernet cabling.]

After those two bold steps toward pimping my pad, I got lazy and moved all my nerd stuff back into the room. i.e. - I have 6 computers in some state of working/being worked on in my place, and most are in my bedroom.

[I'd say it looks less nerdy irl, but after typing irl in a sentence who'd believe me?]

[This piece of furniture was given to me by my parents when we moved to our new house. I was in 2nd Grade... I kid you not. ]

[The euporic view from my bed. Why yes ladies, that is a Dell XPS on the floor. *swoon*]

So the next step is for me to add photos of some of the items I am thinking about purchasing for my room. Then I will start sharing this blog with people whose opinion I value *cough* so that they can advise me on what they think will make this room look less like the abode of tech's uber-geek. I realize it's an uphill battle, but I thank you for your comments and assistance in advance.
