Rain


NYC, man... ;)

Humidity. There's no hiding from humidity. 

When we were in NY, I was apprehending our move to Las Vegas because I thought NY was as much as I could take. I'm a northern bird - give me a Canadian spring or a Russian autumn and I'm in heaven. :) Even winter is preferable to heat, as far as I'm concerned...

Well, I'm spending most of my time outside here on the balcony w/ my laptop, and though it gets hot even in the shades, it's much, much easier to handle than NY. Even when standing directly into the sun, when you feel like you're about to melt - at least you can breathe.

I remember the last 2 summers in NY - even inside w/ the AC on all the time, it was suffocating. And we were living in a "luxury rental" (Sliver Towers on 42nd) - new buildings, great AC and insulation. But still darn hot.

We live in a small/older condo here and if/when it gets way too hot outside, I'm 100% ok w/ a bit of AC inside.

It's 72 right now. No wind. No humidity. Almost perfect. :)

Silver Towers eh? Niiiiice....I have a few clients in that building. Nice views!

you need these mate

Hmmm, they look like the kind of trousers that make a person look like they're off to a Dungeons and Dragons convention. 

I have two windows in my living room, both facing east. No corner unit unfortunately. I've always wanted to live in a corner unit with windows on two sides. 

I think I'm going to get on the landlord's case this year and force him to send someone round to turn the radiator off. I don't care what it takes. Last year I was sick so many times because of the constant AC running. It was a nightmare, I had the radiator going full blast, the AC going full blast to counter that, and a humidifier going full blast to counter the resultant dry air. I felt like Niles Crane.

Nice indeed . And the insulation was really good - I never heard the neighbors, except when they were in the hallways. So I could record vocals w/o worrying that my neighbors would get fed up of hearing me trying to sing the same verse 300 times. ;)
