I personally hate A/C... it makes me feel all congested and stuffy, and even though the air is technically dried, it feels wet to me. I don't really like it much, at all.

That said, there are days were I don't think I'd mind it as much, but then, there are other options, as well, like evaporative cooling, which are quite easy to implement when necessary.

You could just as easily put a bucket of cold water in front of a box fan in the window blowing air into the room, and that would make a discernible difference in just a few minutes.

Alternatively, dry ice is cheap as well, and you could buy a 1-2$ block of it, put it in front of a fan, and blow the cold air around with the fan, somewhere upstairs. By the time the dry ice dissipated completely, you'd have colder air settling in the lower parts of your house, which you could then circulate with other fans.
