Raise your hand if you liked Blue/Orange as much as I did. Yeah, so Blue/Orange is the play that I went to see last night. I was originally planning on going to see some Shakespeare at the Globe Theatre with all of the traditional British glory involved, but it was raining and since the Globe has quite the sunroof I decided to pass it up. And, it's a good thing I did because Blue/Orange is the best play I've seen since I've been here. It is set in a training mental hospital and only has three characters: a senior consultant, a trainee and a patient. The play takes place during the last two days of the patient's stay and the main plot point follows the two doctors' disagreement concerning their assessment of the patient. It may sound boring but it was really amazing. It brought in concepts of racism, sociology, seniority, ego and tons of other things. You were engaged in the arguments the whole time but the play allowed you to release some of your nervous energy through some really funny writing. I wish I could explain this a lot better but it is just quite hard to do. If you're ever in London go check out Blue/Orange.

In terms of the road trip it seems like the people I would be visiting are very excited by the idea of the trip but people I would be leaving are not. I guess that is good for my self confidence but still leaves me in a bit of a pickle. It's all right for now though since I wouldn't be leaving until august anyway.

If you get a chance check out the new Bran Van 3000 album. It's excellent.
