I hear you about the humidity... Ever since I moved to NY last year, even the freakin' subway tunnels cause my clothes to Saran Wrap to me. I thought heat's supposed to rise, not sink!
Evil or Very Mad
Baltimore is way worse though. Between Otakon being such a bad experience and the fact that I couldn't be out in it's air for more than 10 minutes at a time without ducking into an air-conditioned building, I doubt I'd be interested in ever going back.

That said, Cossette is right on the money; that second act though was garbage. Mad

Yugo is definitely an underappreciated series and will probably be overlooked by most for it's dramatic sense, much like Kino's Journey or Master Keaton, which in all cases is a shame. I relate him more to MacGyver than anything, and surprisingly, not all of Yugo's tricks work.

Yumeria... Yeah, I don't jive on the T&A harem shows, but whatever, I liked the kid, at least he wasn't getting punched out every five minutes like with Love Hina... and really, the two little ones were adorable to watch. The story, whatever, right, it got left on the side of the road... which is why I wouldn't make a major investment of my time in it either for that reason.
S&M loliconprex teachers make for some good comedy though. Wink

I don't know what you talking about I used to live in Maryland and there's hardly any humidity. Where you live in Maine because you have to live somewhere where it's really cooled unless you went to the Baltimore on the year we were having a drought.
But normally Baltimore is nice compared to alot of other states.

Very Happy You only think there's no humidity because you've never lived anywhere that's bone dry. Baltimore is hell for me every time I go to Otakon. It's not as humid as some places like Galveston *shudder*, but you can definitely feel the water on your skin.

In dry climates, you can just turn on the fan when it gets hot, or duck into the shade. In humid places though, unless you have AC, you're a dead goose, because fans just stir that mugginess around.

Actually, I have lived in dry climates. I used to live in Arizona too. I lived in alot of areas because my fathers in the military and I'm going into the military myself so I've been around to places. Not to offend you or anything just trying to correct your statement.

Don’t even get me started on the summer I spent living in Galveston! I wanted to murder things and cook them for supper, I was so depressed.
That and the bloody steak part... =^_*=m
I'm really hoping to get my copy of Cossette soon, it sounds so intriguing.

Oh, and I really understand you about that humidity part. I was overseas once, and the city was unbearable. I had a bottle of cold water on me, and the water in the air kept on condensing on it and dripping, like my bottle was leaking or something. Craziness.

I live in NYC, Rem. But I come from Chicago, where we have our share of humidity, but its a drop in the bucket compared to Baltimore.
