offsetting the distress of the previous entry

The flight to Edinburgh was fine, and on the bus ride from the airport was just gorgeous -- which was even more striking because it was just residential houses.

I hadn't realized the Fringe Festival was going on as well [The Bacchae is the International Festival, so it hadn't occurred to me to see if there were other festivals going on at the same time], so in addition to street musicians and street performers, I took in 3 theatre performances last night (including Corpus Christi, which I cried through so much of). Oh, and I tried absinthe (and was unimpressed).

Okay, I'll buy a ticket for tomorrow (my last day in Edinburgh). Do you wanna grab a drink or something? I'm flying out tomorrow evening (I should have just done an overnight bus to London -- I'm flying to Prague from London first thing in the morning -- but being last-minute makes me stupid). My UK mobile (previous post) is probably the best way to reach me, since I'm staying at a hostel, so Internet access is limited and costs money.

Six Women Standing in Front of a White Wall was really interesting. Corpus Christi was well-done. I saw Sweeney Todd tonight, and that was well-done as well -- though as so often with musicals, I sometimes couldn't quite make out the words over the accompaniment.
