Default How do I avoid this kind of result next time?

Dark room and nothing but an overhead light, hall light and desk lamp to keep the light up. I think I over compensated the ISO or...something. Either way I know that this is a kinda 'bleh' picture but I'm running out of ideas on how I would fix it next time I tried a shot like this.

Hiding in the hat

Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi
Exposure: 0.1 sec (1/10)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 48 mm
ISO Speed: 1600
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: Off

Composition? Exposure? Focus? Aperture? What did I do right? What did I do wrong and how might I improve it? Was it the lighting causing the problem? Did I over compensate? How's the pose? Is it even readable? What about the color balance?

Thanks in advance guys!
