Fun... in the (mostly) sun

And finally, I'm getting around to posting again...
After making peanut brittle, writing Christmas cards, tidying, I needed another outlet for procrastination.
First, some links!

That's my first "hungry vegan" article. For the next, I've been challenged to review "Harry's Grill House"... should be fun- hope they grill me some succulent mushrooms or something.

That's for student tv... I'm in "Exeter Uncovered-2" and edited my little segment as well (2 hours tearing my hair out over the complexities of editing software for those precious 40 seconds). I'll of course broadcast the word when THE WOODEN SPOON (my cooking show) hits the air- should be soon since the first episode is all finished at last.
Fun things I've done lately
- performance work in which 18 cell phone alarms went off at the same time in the student cafe and the 18 of us were instructed to act totally oblivious and let our alarms run their course.
- host a potluck for those of us going to Amsterdam this weekend- much fun, and curry, was had by all and a guitar was played which always makes times merrier
- giant carol singing last night- over 500 people singing away and eating free minced pies
- walk around in my new red "wellies"
- take part in a collaborative painting inspired by The Eden Project in Cornwall (where I went- also a fun thing I did lately)
- improv. at a cabaret at school with 3 boys who are undoubtedly "funnier" than me- but every routine needs a straight (wo)man right? More guitars, more merriment (in the cabaret)
- couples pictionary tournament- the ladies triumphed, naturally
- admire our locally-farmed- turban squash- and eat lots of it
- a paper on facilitating effective risk-taking through improv... fun in it's own way (who doesn't love pouring over humanistic psychology?) and a response to folks who ask me "but what are you doing in school?" Actually, I do lots- including mobile phone "happenings", collaborative art, singalongs... but paper-writing is indeed involved, as you'll note from the above. I love my program and my supervisor is AMAZING- the cherry on my sundae of arts education (haha- had to say that because her name is Cherry and we all know I love word play).
Andrew is still taking Devon by renewable energy storm and enjoying it.
We love you all, we miss you all, and we hope you'll come visit us soon. I may be dressing up as a giant banana for "Fair Trade Fortnight"- tempted, yet?
