Well, I was pulling up the carpet in my room this afternoon. There's some tile under there that is pretty keen. Nobody objected to my plans, so I went along with it. Biggest problem currently lies in getting that bloody adhesive off the tile from the foam that used to lie under the carpet. I suppose I'll worry about that once all of the carpet is out of the room.
Half still lies.
I'm probably going to hurry and finish getting the carpet out tomorrow morning and see if I can hitch a ride sometime soon to the Home Depot to get some actual linoleum or something. It's really too bad. I like the 'supermarket floor' look. Some kind of checkerboard pattern would kick large amounts of ass, though. On a lighter note, during the massive amounts of cleaning I had to do to begin pulling up carpet, I found an old action figure.
