I'm afraid I'm forgetting something, but I don't know what it is. At this point I don't know which list it goes on, either, since I've got three different lists going. One is the stuff that needs to happen at work while I'm on vacation, one is the stuff that needs to happen at work before I leave, and the other is the stuff related to moving.

I need a haircut last week. Unfortunately it isn't happening until the weekend after this coming one, by which time I'll probably look like the Wild Woman of Borneo. Oh well, after I get it cut, it'll be happy. (And it won't take me so long to get to Coolidge Corner by then either.)

This is a truly silly question, but I honestly don't know the answer: where on a Fahrenheit thermometer does "room temperature" fall? I haven't had control of a thermostat in two years, and the one before that had a red end and a blue end and no numbers on it, so I really don't know.

Apparently tomorrow I get to call up France to ask somebody what he's a professor of. I wish European and Asian institutions believed in online faculty directories. So far I've had this problem with places in Japan, Germany, France, Belgium, Sweden and the Netherlands. (Some American institutions aren't great about that either, but at least I can read English and figure out where I might find what I want to know.)

It feels like it should be later in the day than it is. I wish it would get there already.

For some reason I have "68 F = room temperature" stuck in my head; maybe it's from old chemistry homework or something. :-)

For myself, the actual temperature of a room can vary from about 62 F to 79 F yet still remain fairly comfortable as long as I'm dressed appropriately. I may let the temp at home fall to 59 F in winter to save on heat or rise to 85 F in summer to save on air conditioning, but that low or high isn't actually comfortable to me.

What I really hate is when restaurants and other public places freeze me in the summer (too much AC) and toast me in the winter (too much hate). Why waste energy just to make me uncomfortable?
