Boggled.

Hello stranger, I feel that we don't talk anymore, and that makes me sad.

I am in Inverness and I am having a good time. There is very little to do, save walk around and go to the Loch, and I have done both. But the hostel is nice and the people are nicer, so I'm good.

I saw this band doing a preview show at the HMV here, (which by the by has a better selection of music than HMV and X-Ray combined) they are called Tiny Dancers. They sound like a more poppy less bassy Cuff The Duke. They played this really sweet hand clappy song which I was sad to see was not on the EP dealie. Anyways, they were playing a gig in town, but my interent provided directions prooved worthless! It took over two hours to walk there and back, the Dutch girl who came with me wasn't exactly exicted about this. If I were alone, left earlier or had a car, I could have found it, but alas and alack. We went to a pub near here and soaked up some good celtic music and drank sweet local beer.

I played Boggle until two in the morning yesterday, and everyone in my room decided they should start the day at 7 o' the clock so I got up then too. For my first time playing boggle, and given the fact that I was dead tired and it was two in the morning, I did pretty good. I was 50 behind the leader and 15 behind the guy who is hell bent on winning.

Have you ever listened to the Beach Boys and wanted it to sound more like Godspeed You! Black Emporer or A Silver Mt. Zion? If so you should definitely check out the new Besnard Lake album. If you don't know what the hell I'm talking about, but like incredible vocal harmonies and a nice blend of classical and rock-ish music, then still give it a listen. I bought new headphones because the ones I bought crapped out. My new ones are sweet and it makes cd's sound I'm listening to them for the first time and only 12£!

So...I don't think I'm going to make it to June...I'll probably be coming home the middle of May. For various reasons, but hey, it's not like I can't come back. My tentative shedule for the next bit is: here, a cousins outside of london, london, valencia, ampstedam, belgium, france.

Bye bye for now!

May, huh? You should hook up that Arrested Development marathon with me and Clair. Or, Feist. Is Feist in May? Here's hoping.
