When did it get so cold? I slept in my warm Lancaster hoodie last night, thinking it'd be a one-off but I'm cold enough to be seriously considering it tonight too. And I'm the person who's usually walking around in a t-shirt while everyone else wears multiple layers.

Today, I did nothing. Other than play with the flying car cheat on Vice City and decide that, as hilarious as it is for a while, the novelty wears off. Mostly. There's still the little bit of "It's like Back to the Future!" squee no matter how many times you crash and burn.

Barnbas has started to eat treats from my fingers with only a minor freak-out of "HANDHANDINCAGEOMGWHUT" first. Also, he unexpectedly ran up my jumper sleeve today and for a minute I had a hamster in my jumper without knowing exactly where he was. I managed to catch him without mishap in spite of my own minor freak-out of "HAMSTERHAMSTERINMYJUMPEROMGWHUT". Fairly pleased that we've made it through the first week without Casper eating him, him escaping, or me losing him. It's somewhat hilarious that the first of those is the least likely, given that Casper's terrified of Barnabas - who is, of course, something like a fiftieth of his size - and runs away whenever Barnabas is brought near him. Sometimes I wonder if he's really a cat at all.

Cold. Insanely, stupidly cold. It's wonderful compared to being too hot but I really need to start adjusting into wearing more layers.

edit: Meant to say: caught an hour or so of Withnail and I on C4 last night, because I'd been told to watch it and I spotted it scrolling the listings. Didn't make it all the way through to the end at 3:25am because I was knackered and the sign language person in the corner was getting in the way (seriously? I really wish you could turn them on and off like subtitles. Aren't they a form of subtitle, really? I'm sure the deaf people don't like having all their stuff shown at 3am; make the sign language person a turn on/turn off feature dring daytime TV and everyone's life would be easier) but I loved what I saw. I couldn't work out why I liked Paul McGann so much, until I twigged that, in that coat and with that hair, he reminds me of Neil Gaiman.
