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).

I didn't know you were in Edinburgh! I am too. I'm doing a show, you should come see us- it's The Oxford Revue, at C main venue on Chambers street (which is just off the street with the International Festival Theatre on it). What have you seen so far that's been good?

Hey! While you're in Edinburgh, do you think you could score me a new window decal for my car, from the University of Edinburgh? I can tell you where to look for one, and I'll pay you back. Please? I can't get my old one off my old car. :(

Enjoy Edinburgh!!! Isn't it beautiful? DEFINITELY go to Holyrood Park and Arthur's Seat. That's where I took the picture in my icon.

Hi... friends with Allison...

Hi, I'm friends with Allison... and also in Edinburgh, but I was here for the Fringe, as well as my grandmother trying to buy me a ticket to the Military Tattoo, and well because it seemed like a good idea. Where are you staying? Do you want to meet up for coffee or a drink or something?
