back to life, back to reality

the musical is done and it was FANTASTIC! while the numbers for our shows weren't mind-blowing, we got four fantastic reviews, heaps of compliments and a really great series of performances for pleased audiences. i can honestly say it was one of the most intense experiences of my life, but also one of the best...

i saw Bowling For Columbine tonight... michael moore does it again. wonderful at raising really important questions that need to be asked. however, falls down when he tries to answer them. while i found the movie quite tasteful in its depiction of canada (especially since i saw it with a whole bunch of internationals in a british theatre), i found it a bit too simplistic. welfare to work = bad. canada = good. american foreign policy = domestic violence increases. as with much of sociology, a real problem with causation. that being said, a socially relevant and important film that frightened the shit out of me...

i'm preaching a sermon on sunday which i think should be entertaining. it's about fear in God and how that relates to Advent and tries to offer a more hopeful outlook on Christ's coming...

it's almost 8th week already which is frightening. first term at oxford is nearly done. i still have an essay to write and a group presentation but, basically, it's all going well so far :)

miss so many of you but am still having a great time here. did i mention i love british men :P
