the other thing i can't believe i haven't mentioned is that edinburgh appears to be made out of cat food. i mean, i smell cat food all the time. perhaps the earth's mantle has high tuna content here, and occasionally bubbles up to the surface in tiny cat food volcanoes. i am talking of course of the wet canned cat food, the kind i grew up calling "cat meat"--but had to stop when i realized other people think i mean the flesh of actual housecats. which of course i don't.
anyway, we had another meeting. a very admirable one, where the producers copped to the bad morale that's surrounded our lack of reviews and sucky houses, and admitted that coming all this way and losing money was acceptable only if we were having fun, so . . . let's have fun. i wholeheartedly admire that, and feel a bit shallow that i harbored doubts about their . . . i dunno, commonsense good will.
we met someone today who told us that new york is blacked out, and described people climbing out subway tunnels through emergency shafts. i can't imagine how scared people must be. whoever's in charge, new york could use a break.
