EdinBORING

So I have to apologize: Last post, I said something ridiculous like "I'll have a video up for you soon, Saturday AT THE LATEST" Well, that was false. Last night I started going through the footage I took in Edinburgh and slowly came to the realization that it isn't very exciting. I mean, there are a few moments but there are a LOT of moments of me just talking nonsense to myself.

So until I can figure out a decent way to put what I have together, I'll just stick to posting boring words.

One thing you should do: Comment on this post with your favorite video moments for my "The Best Of" video that will inevitably happen after I leave London. I don't want that video to only be my favorite moments you see.

Thought of the day:
Why do the British insist on taking strange food words and spelling them even more strangely?

Hummus becomes Hummous
Rooibos becomes Rooibosch
Yogurt becomes Yoghurt
and Soy becomes Soya
