Its morroccan food festival day?

or is it? well i thought today was the day of the Morroccan food festival at the local library, but i was mistaken, by 2 weeks! so after doing all this PR for the Morroccan thing i got there and was like where's the music and the animal roasting smells? and then i reread the sign, it's on 11th of February, but i will be in Isle of Skye. Wah wah wah... oh well i'm sure isle of skye will be fab.

So this weekend my friend Garvin and i discovered the Edinburgh City Art Centre and Peter Howson's work was showing. His work can be really grotesque and difficult to look at, and extermly religious but still great to look at the expressive line quality and color palette. He was commissioned by the city to create a piece that expressed the martyrdom of St. Andrew, as that's where the Scottish flag comes from! so it was great free fun. Later that evening i went to Dunfermond. Or something like that and saw the Ben Stiller flick about being in the Natural History Museum, it was predictable but still quite funny. Garvin and i had a movie picnic in the theater, bagles with cheese and pretzels. I also saw Rambo 3 for the first time ever, there seem to be a lot of flaws in the story line about how John Rambo gets the Russians. Like how by the end is he still standing? the man probably would have needed a blood transfusion for all his cuts and bullet wounds!

so that was the weekend, sunny here so i did some hiking around. I am on my way home from the library to do some africa research. it looks like i will be coming home in june (against my wishes, financially) but perhaps i can find a job and save to go to africa with my uncle robert. I am so hoping that will pan out.

so lots of love from this "looper" that's what Eileen calls me.
