I've got chills, they're multiplying

My internet was doing funny things this afternoon. It was disconnecting me from the modem and I couldn't get connected again. After an hour of this I got fed up and decided I'd go down to see a movie.

I saw I Love You, Man - which is actually quite entertaining and doesn't suck, so if you want to see a movie - and you've already seen Star Trek, which you should totally see at least once because it is awesome - see I Love You, Man. At least it's better than Wolverine.

Anyway, when I left my house I was shocked to find exactly how freezing it was outside. It was exactly like walking in a chiller. If I'd left a bottle of Coke outside it would probably have been cooler than if I'd left it in the fridge. It was crazy!

According to the newspapers it's because wind is coming off Antarctica and right up the entire country, which makes me wonder a few things...

Firstly, that wind must have been REALLY cold if it travelled from Antarctica to New Zealand and it's still that cold. I would have thought it might have warmed up a little on it's travels.

Secondly, how cold was it in Invercargill, or Dunedin, or Christchurch, or Wellington if it's THAT cold when it finally got to Auckland?

Finally, when does that wind get warm? Will it eventually just die, cold, half way to Fiji? Or will Fiji end up experiencing temperatures most suitable for keeping cheese and vegetables fresh?

Either way, I wish it would leave us alone and go bother Australia instead. My feet are cold and I can't find one of my slippers.
