Whew... just taking a quick breather now before bed. A few, um, 'notes...'
-I spent a few days up in the north north north north of Scotland in a small town called Talmine (near Tongue). Swam in the North Sea (it was cold). Ate good food and had some drinks with new friends. Rode six hours in a car (if it wasn't a standard, I could've drove on the wrong side of the road, bah!).
-I got back at 6 PM, then ran off to see a show at 9 PM to review. The Fringe Festival has begun (thus my not taking time to write about all this). Good review. Adam Rapp's "Nocturne." Great play, but not performed how I would expect. Had another play to review today at 6 PM. Just finished. Not so good. Musical. Too spectacular, not enough content.
-Tomorrow is for working (more) on my dissertation Intro (I'm starting with a quote from the play!) and then wandering about to see what I can see for some shows... Maybe go see my friend's comedy show down in Canongait. Free.
-It's 1 AM. Less than an hour ago, the Edinburgh Tattoo got out. Scotland the Brave by a full bagpipe band marching down at quarter-past midnight. Once again, welcome to the Festival. It should be fun...
