Competition is too stiff ? What does that have to do with the price of tea in China ? <| sep |> Just who thought that would be better than Exoticats ? <| sep |> Go to get your torches lit <| sep |> Depends where you ' re using it . In omaha you can just use a piece of cardboard <| sep |> I ' ve forgiven Southeastern today . Train arrived on time and was nice and toasty without being stifling . Rating 5 ETA We just randomly stopped for 10 minutes and now it ' s starting to get really warm on the train . ETA # 2 The guy next to me is emailing someone about the opera he saw last night and the after party where he met a Sir . I ' m listening to Nsync . I feel out of my league . <| sep |> Not really , almost every episode includes a cute Kumiko and Reina moment . I ' d say the two of them have increasingly become more comfortable with each other as the season has gone on thus the touching and closeness is less intense and more natural . Meanwhile Kumiko and Shuichi ' s relationship got progressively more awkward which I thought was odd cause it seemed like they ended at a good note at the first competition . Kyoani would have to jump many hoops to make their relationship anywhere near as developed as Kumiko and Reina ' s . I think they did make the first step this episode though . Reina overheard Shuichi so she ' ll probably tell Kumiko what she heard him say to her sister which will increase her opinion of him and she may thank him for helping Mamiko and Reina will probably think he isn ' t as spineless as she initially thought . I still don ' t consider that nearly enough to make up for all his absent time though .
