  MD (at least where I live) is such a bad place for biking.  This area is supposed to be on a plateau.  Personally, when i first heard that, it made me figure that it's all supposed to be flat, right?  WRONG.  Even when I was in shape, it was a bleeding nightmare to bike anywhere because of these hills.  Anyway, biking is the only healthy and free activity I can do that allows me to think.  When everything is both at least 2 miles away AND uphill both ways, suddenly, biking isn't as fun anymore.
  
  Yes, unfortunately, I'm still in MD.  I wasn't able to drop the 20lb I needed to get my ticket out by June.  What this means is that it's even MORE unlikely that I'll be able to make Otakon and/or Dragon*Con since I now have no income.  So anyway, I'm pushing my estimated departure date back to the original Sept and seeing if I can't drop the 20 in the meantime.  I'm also applying for some seasonal work, but we'll see how that works out.
  
  As for series, unfortunately, I haven't bought any manga in months.  However, I'm less that an hour from finishing the Sakigate!! Cromartie High anime.   I also managed to finally finish Haibane Renmei not too long ago.  Now I'm convinced of what I thought of it when I first saw it at JMAC - very pretty (art-wise) and a wonderful story (even though it's not that clear until the last 2 episodes).  Maybe, eventually, I'd like to cosplay from the series.
