Friends, Romans, people who live in countries that actually give numbers to humidity - what sort of humidity value is a native New Yorker going to complain about? I can elide, but I need to add words to this fic so I'm trying to hunt down details.

Actually, about that, if anyone has the time or inclination to beta a ~ 1000 word Mystique fic set after X-Men: First Class fic, I'd be grateful.

What were the Romans really like? Different from us in many ways, but there is much that is familiar in Roman family life and in particular parenting - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-17701080 I'm using the sub-headline because the main headline shows that whoever wrote the headline hadn't read the article.

Shakespeare Meme - Day #16: Your first play you saw

If we're talking ever, ever by any method, then Kenneth Branagh's Henry V on tape, which my Mum still has. Thankfully it's not worn out yet.

If we're talking on stage, then Macbeth at the Theatre Royal. Annoyingly I can't remember the company but it was ace. 6 actors, 2 techies (and I suspect that one of the techies was one of the actors) and the most fantastic amount of thought had gone in. Real atmosphere, and Macbeth's death was one of those moments where time seemed to stop, and we were in a medieval Scottish castle. It was brilliant.

Where I live humidity is generally expressed as a percentage. Anything above 60% is in the "feel it" stage. 80% and higher is pretty grody.

Thank you. In the UK it's only mentioned on about three days a year, to the point where even the Met Office don't publish data on it.
