The weather's starting to warm up again a little bit. Not that we've been hit with cold weather to anything like the same degree as parts of the US, but it's still been chilly for this part of the world.
On my drive home tonight, the temperature was about 10 degrees C, which is a perfectly comfortable temperature so far as I'm concerned. I take the piss out of British weather and its tendency towards being "eehhhhh" rather than anything particularly dramatic, but honestly? I prefer it when it's grey, dull and unremarkable — not too hot, not too cold, not too wet. I don't even mind it being wet if I'm inside and can enjoy the soothing sound of raindrops without getting drenched.
It's still pretty damn cold in the mornings, though, and that's making getting up somewhat challenging. I've temporarily suspended my early morning Fitness Boxing sessions just because it's so fricking freezing in the morning that it's really unpleasant and uncomfortable to get up at that hour. Okay, I warm up pretty quickly once the workouts are underway, but I feel I'd be better and more motivated once there's a little more warmth first thing in the morning. Or at least not any icy chill, even if we put the heating on!
The only downside to grey, drab weather is that it tends to bring with it a bit of a grey, drab mood. Not necessarily depression or anything, just a general feeling of apathy, perhaps slight discontent. At least with the snow the other day that was something vaguely out of the ordinary — though as noted, it unfortunately wasn't enough to get any of us out of work… though on the flipside it also wasn't bad enough to mean any of us got stuck at work, either. Every cloud and all that.
The first "MoeGamer Music" article is now live on MoeGamer courtesy of my shiny new stereo, and it was a lot of fun (if quite time-consuming!) to write. Watch out for more of these in the near future. Don't forget to check out the latest episode of The MoeGamer Podcast, too, for in-depth, intelligent discussion about all things gaming. This week, we say "Death to Metroidvania!"
On that note, I better get to bed. Hope you had a pleasant evening. Good night1
