It might seem silly or mundane, but if we're going to be actually living in space then this is the sort thing is what we'll have to deal with on a daily basis.

I've watched quite a few of the other videos on that channel, it's fascinating stuff. I reckon photography (http://colchrishadfield.tumblr.com/) is one of Commander Hadfield's hobbies. I noticed a fair-sized camera in one of the videos, and what with space missions having very strict weight limits on take-off (at least compared to say, air travel), I imagine that would camera would have taken up quite a lot of his personal mass allowance.

Despite things like the need to exercise and the re-arrangement of body fluids that causes the top half of your body to swell up for the first few days in microgravity, I haven't wanted to visit space this badly in a long time.
