Good news and Bad news

Good news first--
We're having a totally badass time in Edinburgh. We climbed Arthur's Seat (a big mountain thing) yesterday afternoon with some food and ate lunch on top looking over the city and taking everything in. It's a really incredible place.
Quick interlude story-- we're sitting there eating and this dog comes up and is all up in our grill trying to get at our food, so bill shooes the dog away with his hand. A moment later a woman comes up and says, in the thickest of scottish accents, "Next tai'm ye raise yer 'and to mie animal Aye'll return the compliment" and the briskly walks away in a huff. It was funny; bill's going to use it in a paper as an example of the fiery nature of scottish people.
Anyways, so then last night we pregamed in Bill's room, watched Will Smith videos, and had a great time before hitting the club and having a great time there too. Highlights include us looking more fly than anyone there, many girls stealing the cool hats dal and I bought, one guy trying to fight Dallas, Bill biting some girls shoulder, and other great things.

Bad News--
I'm pregnant.

For no apparent reason, the digital mode of the video camera has stopped working. I think it's basically going to be like dead weight until I can get back to the U.S. and take it to a repair place or something. Also, it deleted the memory card (also for no good reason) so there will be no footage from London or Oxford of any kind (from my camera... Dallas may have some pics). I can still film in Tape Mode, though, so its not all lost.

More Bad News-
After a few hours of searching for return trips from Fez to Edinburgh, we realized that it's just not going to be possible for Bill to come with us. There is a cheap British Air flight to head down there and back on tuesdays and fridays, but it leaves from london, and it would entail a lot of travel time for not very much time in morocco (only about 2 days). So oh well.

Other News-
Howe from the Dartmouth mirror (and an AXA homeboy) interviewed me briefly yesterday about my poker career for his column. It was kind of fun, maybe this publicity will turn into something good. Howe's had the most popular column on campus ever since he wrote an article explicitly telling freshmen not to go to Theta Delt. Hilarious.


Okay thats all for now
