I got something ... weird ... in the mail yesterday. I don't know how to describe it so I'm just going to post a video on my YouTube channel. Link at the bottom. Basically I spent half of the day thinking about it, and decided I have no clue what it's about. Anyone with insight, do speak now.
In other news, I went to the walking tour of the Cathedral Quarter today, and was rather disappointed. Something about guide-led tours leaves me totally uninspired. But then I've never enjoyed the tourist track, so there you go. Dad used to encourage me to find my own way when I travel, and he would know. He did a lot of traveling himself, back in the day. "You don't see the city until you see its underbelly," he said to me once. "And no tour guide is going to show you that."
Tours of Belfast are an odd territory, though; there's always a question about what version of history you'll have access to. Which raises a question about history itself: if it's just what one person or one group decides to report, how valid is History proper? And what sort of history is worth listening to? So, in a roundabout way, I suppose the tour did get me thinking after all.

Mail, music and McHughs
Got home late this evening, after a full day in the library and then a show, to find something odd hanging in the mail slot. I'm too tired to think about it properly right now ... I almost feel a tad weirded out. I'll post something about it tomorrow.
I just need a short venting session. I miss David. And I miss my friends at home. My one friend from childhood here goes to university in Scotland (thanks, Meri) and I'm stuck in this odd city without a paddle. Not that I'd leave, I just feel a bit meh.
I know. I complain a lot. This is what they don't tell you about Canadians.
I need a cup of something. I should do a yoga DVD to chill out before bed. Probably just eat some ice cream though.
The Cathedral Quarter Fest is cool, by the way. Tonight I saw Curtis Eller play at McHugh's ... interesting stuff. He's from NYC, which of course made me nostalgic for the one time I visited NYC. I'll try to do this walking tour of the Cathedral Quarter they have going on before the festival is over.
More later.
