Holy cow, it's cold out!

[thistlechaser]

Yesterday I said to myself "No matter how cold it is, I'm going out walking in the morning." This morning I woke up, saw it was 34 degrees out (just two degrees above freezing, for those of you using other systems), laughed to myself and said "No way in hell". I'm really going to have to find some aerobic indoor exercise I can do, because I just can't deal with being out in that kind of cold. (Yes, yes, you snow-people, go ahead and mock poor little Californian me!)

While I had intended to try to RP on my new MUSH (Denver), work is just totally kicking my ass today, so I can't. (I can't even sit in the OOC room and chat. Bad work, bad!) Know the oddest thing about having a new MUSH? The code. I keep going "ooooh, this is such a good idea! I should add this to Pok... no, wait." and "Ohhh, I love this! I wonder how they did it!". Plus I recognize the weather/time code they use. :) Funny how much I miss MUSH coding...

Apparently I'm headed into one of those periods of bad sleep. *cry* After getting only 2-3 hours the night before, I only got a couple hours last night as well. Couldn't fall asleep, couldn't stay asleep, had nightmares, woke up way too early. Why? And why the heck does this happen in a cycle, seemingly related to nothing else in my life?

I don't care what anyone says, 34 degrees is damned cold, no matter where you are. There's colder, but that's plenty. @_@

Also, you have an icon from The Cat Returns. ... <3 I /love/ that movie.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah. :) Isn't it the best? It's one of my favorite anime movies.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Agreed! Totally! Brrrr.

Back in my day we were lucky if it got to 34 degrees in the middle of summer! Being from Michigan, this would routinely fall somewhere during the lull of the 5 million tornados and the mass of 5 minute thunderstorms.

And then, five minutes later, it would hail and we'd all laugh, because hail is funny when you're been driven insane by weather than can't make up it's mind. ;)

*laughs* You poor, poor guy. You should move to California! Stat!

I'll still be out walking even when it's -20ºC (google tells me this is the equivalent of -4ºF)

But I think that's damn cold and can't believe people actually want to live in Norway all year round. Our summers are nice, but they barely last two months.

Maa, I guess it'd be boring to live some place the seasons barely changed, too.

Eek! *hides at the thought of being even out of the apartment at -4*

But seriously, yeah. Norway always sounds like such a nice place, but I think the weather would keep me away.

You know, it generally feels colder where you are than here because you have humidity. It cools you off faster and makes a huge difference in the comfort level.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah, true. I forgot about that.

Also, your body is adapted to heat. When you're in the cold all the time, your blood will actually get thicker, and that helps you stay warm. Therefore, 34* for you feels a lot colder.

Huh! I knew that after living in a place for a while that your body adjusted to it, but I hadn't known there were actual physical changes. Interesting!

(While I try not to remember it, when I lived back in NY I liked the snow and the winter. Now I get cold if it's under 70! So that makes sense.)
