The date: 9th of December 2006, Adelaide, South Australia

Temp = 41C/106F
Humidity = 6%
UV factor = Extreme

The heat is bad enough, but the high UVs really put a stinging sizzle to walking in the sunlight thats for bloody sure.

...you're probably going to think I'm crazy for saying this, but at the current moment, that actually sounds nice to me. I came home yesterday and I swear there was snow on my roof. You'd think I'd be all OMG SNOW since I'd never seen snow before, but no. It's too @#$^ cold. At least my room is in the 80's or I'd surely be frozen now. I dare not step foot outside in the currently... 49° weather. *cries and curls up under several feather comforters-- yeah, not cold to most of you, but cold makes my body go all bleh and sick-like*

...This being said I HATE the sun and always have an umbrella regarless if its burning or freezing. ...Its also the only use for one when it never rains. ...I'm probably more one for obscene humidity though, so maybe ignore all that.


...regarding another comment in the tread, I don't know why people complain about how its cold but leave their feet out in the cold. I want to beat each one of them silly for showing me their ugly toes AND complaining about it. ~__~

True, if you don't know Utena exists you don't know to look on YouTube for it.

HELL ON EARTH

Well that's one place I'm never going. Such a shame, Adelaide is a pretty name...obviously they picked a pretty name to mask the hellish misery of heat.

Gio-tan, while it is true that from both an anime/manga otaku and a cold weather lovers POV that Adelaide is indeed Hell on Earth, but from some of the previous posts you have made, you seem to a bit of a culture fan and that is one of the few good things that Adelaide offers is the Adelaide Fringe Festival.

The Adelaide Fringe Festival is an arts festival that is held annually.  It is Australia's largest arts event and the second-largest fringe festival in the world.  There are also a number of other events that occurs there.

D-d-d-...DAMN YOU. I am seduced.

I'm also staying at your place.

For whatever reason, Australia has always been number two on my wish list of places to go. With the weather being the way it is where I live, I'm tempted to fly down there right now, even if the sun will burn me to a crisp.

It's times like this when I wish I owned a large phallic tower with a huge kitchen, lots of servant-girls with lots of spare bedrooms with waterbeds and shagpile carpets.

Aww, what about servant-boys? If you're gonna have everyone over, you have to have servant-boys in addition to girls! And they ALL have to be hot/cute!

I suppose I can order some servant-boys as well, but trying to raise the money to find the right sort of guys, kidnapping and brainwashing them is a royal pain in the ass.

At last I'm home, where is not cold. Here on Mazatlan the weather is like 70° F, 21° C. 

And my mom took me to yoga on the beach!!

Gotta love my state.

53 degrees F and sunny yesterday.
12 degrees F and snowing today.

Ayup.

Ooh, ooh, I have to wave my hand around a bit and say I am also technically a south-of-the-equator SKU fan; I'm a New Zealander, although I've been living in the UK for about ten/eleven months now. And incidentally, South Yorkshire is bloody FREEZING right now...although to be fair, I couldn't say that for sure because I am actually in Japan right this second. Not that it is any warmer here. I need to go home for summer. (Actually, it's not the COLD that's really irritating in the UK; it's the fact that daylight hours are so short. At its worst, the sun rises at 8am and sets at 3:30pm where I live. Suck.)

The fact that anime/manga was more or less unknown in South Australia is starting to change now thanks in part to all the Japanese exchange students that have been coming over here to go to the Unis exposing us natives to the wonders of asian culture.

We've had Japanese students since I was a wee tot in New Zealand, and it didn't help us. I think the spread of it now is simply due to DVDs and rapid internet connections...I'm one of the "veterans" who remembers the good ol' days of sending bank drafts to America to get my NTSC-VHS tapes sent to me surface mail, praying that they'd be compatible with my PAL system TV and VCR...ah yes, the memories...

It snowed outside today, and that was weird, since I live in SoCal. But I like when the air is so clean and clear that you can see the mountains - so freaking awesome. But yeah, it's freezing.

Hearing about cold weather is making my head hurt.  Alot!
I live in Buffalo NY, which is supposed to get lots of snow....
I wished that winter wouldn't come, and that spring would just stay forever this year. 
I didn't expect it to come true!  The weather's been freakishly nice here, snow doesn't last for even a day before dying.

So far the only gilmse of winter we got lasted for less then a week, and it was pretty huge and unexpected, but after that it's been spring tempuratures.  Lots of trees were taken down because of it.
