Keep trying.

Stupid thing wouldn't let me post yesterday.  To catch up.

I went to the natural History Museum with a few people here.  It was OK.  Kind of like a USA Today version of a museum.  Not as in depth as I'd have liked.

Last night we saw "Silence" done by a group called Filter and Royal Shakespeare Company.  Many of the others though it was great/incredible.  I thought all the cool tech they used distracted me and the actors from the story, which wasn't all that compelling. Not sure the class will be the best place to share that.  There maybe hurt feelings.  Besides it is so big, conversations amongst 40 people tend to be long and directionless.

Today we went on a Shakespeare walking tour.  I learned there is not much physically remaining of Shakespeare's era.  I though Tim was stretching a bit.  I did find crystallized ginger at the market we went to.  Yummm.

And this evening I went to Saddler's Wells and saw the Dutch National Ballet.  They did 5 smaller pieces 2 were fair, 2 were good, 1 was fantastic.  It was visceral, sensual, aggressive.  This is the most I have ever been turned on by a dance, and that includes strip clubs.

So, you might think things have turned around a bit.  I suppose you are right.  I still don't have any friends here, though some are friendly.  No one actually follows through.  So I'm still lonely, but my juggling is improving.
