The rain is quite the same here as it is anywhere else--the rain itself, anyway. The smells are different. The desert smells heavenly and like the memory of the dryness and lushness when it rains. Paris smells like the sewer, which isn't a change.

I miss you guys too. And you'll have a blast at Anime Expo. There will be other conventions, though.
