Pubs, plays, and plans

Saturday night and...
we're home. Weirdly, there tends to be more on on weeknights for us lately. BUT today's Gulu walk made for a full day... There were a nice jolly group of folks- and dogs- walking 5 miles to raise money for kids in Uganda- we took a side route, an extended Gulu walk if you will, and visited an amazing riverside pub with the head of the Global Centre. Then we reconvened with the group at another pub (all about the pubs...) for some drumming- Andrew got really into the drum circle.
We're going to Amsterdam! But not anytime soon. A group of 12 of us are going at the beginning of December and I am excited. Our hostel provides free ice skates and we plan on trying a different veg. restaurant every night. And going skating wearing our Halloween costumes!
A response to Mel's question- Stand Up Speak Out is actually an international event- ppl standing up against poverty to show world leaders that we care and that they really need to get on these Millennium Development Goals! It happens like a Mexican wave across the world... anyway, I was just in a drama sketch about clean water. A comedy with a dark edge.
Next week promises some Green Soc. promoting, Halloween costume prep (Boogie Nightmares- that's right), "Poetry in Performance", and talking up Fair Trade.
Some people have mentioned that I don't mention my academic life on here. Wednesday morning's class was some gruelling but exciting swing dancing. I spend most hours at school in the drama studio. My current reading is "creativity and mental growth" and we're all still trying to answer the question of What is Art? I'm enjoying it and beginning to feel less guilty for having such a "fun" masters. I know swing dancing doesn't change the world but...
Andrew, meanwhile, is selling smelly soapy things at Lush very part time while seeking bigger and better things. My baths are about to hit a whole new level. He's also got a really cool internship (unpaid) at the Global Centre involving research and compilation of socially/politically progressive comic books from around the world and has been in contact with a Ugandan graphic artist this week.
Hope you enjoy the photo posts- all those scenic shots are from a rollerblade adventure near our house.
Ta ta!
