Jan. 28th, 2010 12:08 pmMy heat went out sometime last evening -- nights are fine, since I have plenty of blankets (and a cat), but being awake (and out of my nice, warm, bed) was not fun. Thankfully, someone was already down to fix the heat when I left for work, and the problem should be clearing up by the time I get home. I also know this is what motivates me to get into work early -- having a <60°F apartment*.
Granted, I then wasted an hour hanging out with the other grad students and drinking tea, but I was doing so in my office.
I also can't find my hat, and the only one I could find was the Firefly Hat I crocheted a while back. Which was designed to be a silly hat for those of you who didn't see the episode it appeared in -- basically the show's amoral tough-guy gets a brightly-colored pom-pom-topped stocking cap (with earflaps) from his mother, and puts it on, without remarking on it besides that it's a 'cunning hat', while the rest of the cast present tries not to laugh. ("A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything.")
Mine is terribly warm -- I made it out of wool -- but it's a bit silly. Also, without realizing it, I put on the thigh-length brown cardigan my sister bought me for Christmas, so I also have a brown coat. (I'm mixing characters here.)

* The interior thermometer caps out at 60°F. Probably because that means you're either turning the heat on, or you have the AC on too much.
