This morning whilst walking to work I saw a drunk Scottish man take off his shirt and pants and throw them onto the street and into oncoming traffic. What a way to start a Monday. I live just on the border of Leith – which basically is the ghetto, and sometimes it is quite evident that we are just a few blocks away from it. The key is not to look directly at the crazy people.

So I STILL don’t have internet on my computer. Grrrr arg. The paperwork you need to do to get the freaking internet in this place is a mess! I’ve given up all hope. It’ll be like 3 days before I leave and they’ll give it to me. Ohhh. I just figured out how to get around my internet problem. I am the champion. Now to do as little as work as possible. I'd do work if they gave it to me. Honestly.

Last night I went to a hockey game. It was great to see since they don't even mention hockey in any of the newspapers or tv or anything. I had to explain much of the game to my aussie friends, but it was good fun. The smell of hockey arenas is comforting to me. Is that a weird thing?

I'm planning a quick trip up to the highlands for next weekend. Perhaps to Loch Ness. Who knows what I will find. Apparently all the Loch's have monsters - it's just that this is the most famous one. The things you learn.

It's a bright sunny day today and I wish I could go out and be a tourist with my poor deserted camera.
