All wrapped up: I wore only 3 layers today and I nearly died. I may never be able to feel my ears again.

I think I've probably always known this, but the trick to staying warm in the cold is to keep your head and hands warm. I forgot my gloves at home today, wore a hat that does not cover my ears and did not have the best time walking to the subway.

This time tomorrow the kitties will be home. We can't wait. I just hope that they're healthy and not too traumatised. I got them a new bed and some tuna to celebrate their arrival.

I'm watching a very strange Chinese movie right now. Jacky Chan like you've never seen him before. He's actually acting - no kung fu what so ever. I'm trying to watch some local telly to improve my pronunciation and intonation. The cool thing is that I've started recognising words. Not that many, but it's a start.
