metric fair!

I realized that while I had explained this to Jason on his visit, I never fully have proven how well-suited I am for celcius instead of fahrenheit...

In C, there are major categories, by 10s, and they each have appropriate clothing to go along with them. This is semi-variable, of course, but usually dressing for the category will get me by fine.

40+ go naked, it's farking hot
30-40 shorts, tank top, t-shirt
20-30 jeans or light pants, t-shirt, light long-sleeved shirt
10-20 jeans, sweatshirts, light sweaters, long-sleeved shirts
0-10 heavy jeans, warm sweaters, layers
-0 bundle the fark up. parka, gloves, the works.

So every morning, I check the AccuWeather Hourly Forecasts for the day (or at least the next 8 hours) and dress accordingly.

Now, I know you can say "well there's no difference in saying 10-20C and 50-68F," but really, which is easier to remember?

So that's why my travel clock and car display are set to show temp in celcius. I've gotten quite proficient at it, woo!

Today I met (well, not for the first time, but for the first time I will remember heh) Jeni. Aka lamnia. We were in the same aerobics class, which I assumed would happen sometime since she posted to my livejournal some about it, but since I didn't know what she looked like (unless she were in dim light holding her cat - her LJ photo) I couldn't look for her. She recognized me, though, and came up to me after class. :) I am glad to know a new person.

I will now sleep, and hopefully I will not have farked up my sleep schedule and will be able to wake up bright and early in the morning to shower before work.

farenheit to me is weird.. I can only work out if things are hot or cold by recalling that 100 is around body temp, so anything over that is yucky, weather-wise.

100 is just a little higher than body temp most of the time. i've gotten used to celcius just by living in japan -- it's awfully hard to mentally change numbers over every time you want to know what the temperature is outside :)

Hehe indeed. 98.6 is supposedly common body temperature in Fahrenheit.
