Hogwarts, and Cold!

I remembered what I meant to write about on Saturday. It's been a funny thing to learn about alternations in my cold tolerance. The AC/Heating unit in my apartment, which was adequate to keep the room tolerable in the summer, is not so capable in cold weather. It is only really able to increase the ambient temperature of my room to approximately 10 degrees warmer than the outside temperature. This is, perhaps unfair - the temperature at the ceiling is, I'm sure, quite what it should be. But since I spend all my time sitting on the floor or lying on the floor, and cold air sinks, well, it's been tough. Fortunately, the weather hasn't been too terribly cold so far, and during the days the thermometer on my clock indicates a temperature in the mid to high 60's - but two nights ago my apartment hit 60 degrees, and I fear what will happen if the weather gets much colder. Thank god I'm not in someplace like Binghamton, I'd die even this early in the season!!

On the plus side, it's done wonders for my cold tolerance to spend so much time in such an environment; last week I wandered around Yokohama with caspiangray in a tank top and got shocked looks, including one woman who gasped "genki!" (how healthy!, basically) when she saw me; I've gotten similar since, because the outside temperature, especially when I'm walking and moving, just doesn't feel that cold. :)

More Hogwarts, and minor whining

My feet are cold. This is certainly because its 65 degrees in my apartment. I was colder earlier, so I guess I should be happy. In other news, I'm continuing looking at apartments, I got a lot of work done, and generally I've had a productive day. Then, my internet went down, so I wrote a whole bunch more, cause I felt like it. So here's a whole lot more Hogwarts. ;)
