hmpf1.) Since I talked about the cold and Radiohead in my last post: I haven't managed to organise my notes about my three concert experiences yet, but this here is an accurate representation of me at the last one. Coldest concert of their career, according to Thom Yorke - who arrived on stage visibly shivering and didn't stop griping about the cold for the next two hours! Poor guy, figures he'd be cold - he's my height and size, more or less, and he didn't have a blanket. ;-)
(That's the blanket I also use at my desk in winter, btw. Though I may have to get a new one, as this one was seemingly irredeemably muddied at the concert. I've washed it, but there's still a ton of mud in it. - And my eye's kind of half-swelled-shut in the picture because I had a pretty bad cold and that always affects my eyes.)
2.) Thanks for the encouragement regarding my temperature experiment! Nice to know that there's hope... I've decided to postpone the continuation of the experiment till after Radiohead, though, because it just occurred to me it would be bloody stupid of me to get another cold before the concert. Wasn't much fun to be coughing instead of singing along the last time around... :D (Yes, people do sing along at Radiohead concerts.)
3.) I just talked to my aunt on the phone and she had the most brilliant idea. We talked about my lack of self-control and my inability to organise my life and go to bed at normal times and get up in the morning and so on. She suggested that, every time I do something like getting up too late, I should give some money to some political organisation I utterly despise. Germany's ruling conservative party; a lobbyist group for the coal industry; something like that. :D
I actually really think this is a brilliant idea. Part of me really wants to try it... though I'm also worried, because what if even that deterrent isn't strong enough, and I end up transferring lots and lots of money to a lobbyist group for the coal industry? I couldn't live with myself...
Still... kudos to my aunt for thinking outside the box. :D
