01/30/2007: "Cold" music: Nick Cave
It was cold here last night. Not northern-suburbs-of-Winnipeg cold, but certainly about as cold as Tampa gets. Ordinarily it's not much of a problem. My blood has thinnned living here for the past six years, but still I am much more resilient to the cold than my southern counterparts, who reach for a parka when the mercury dips below 60.
The problem is that I now live in a very old house, which was built in the 1920's. Cracks and crevices have been growing for years, letting the cold air in. I had the heater set to 68; the damn thing was running the whole night and it barely cracked 60 degrees. The landlord keeps threatening to replace the windows, and that may help. But I'll most likely be sleeping in my Mr. Bungle hoodie for the next few nights.
