Brrr!

It's cold. -20°C at present, according to the Weather Network. I wouldn't mind -- I have finally fully embraced the power of adequate outerwear and giant snow boots, so being outside is not as much of a penance as usual -- but when it's this cold there tends to be an arctic blast under my desk.

Fortunately I have a blanket! And it's going all the way up to -13 today!

Saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button last night with life_on_queen. Liked most of it, but the frame story added nothing and the more elegiac musings on life and death and the meaning of it all were a bit hard to take. The quirky funny bits, and Taraji P. Henson (thank you IMDB) as Benjamin's adopted mother, and Cate and Brad together with a minimum of prosthetic makeup, were great.

I am much too old for movies that get out after 11, though. Pathetic, I know.

Aha! Let us compare tales of woe regarding arctic storms under desks. On the other hand, I lose, because it's +7 celsius here today. I can't BEGIN to imagine how cold it must be where you are. Brrrrr. Huzza for blankets! I've also taken to bringing a huge pair of socks into work - keep the feet warmer than shoes! Also may I suggest a fan heater under the desk? Does WONDERS for me.

Stay warm! x

Every now and then I threaten to get a fan heater! Today actually wasn't bad, though, weirdly enough.
