Another quick update!
Arrived safe and sound in Edinburgh yesterday. Had a great view of the Forth Bridge as the plane came into land, which was cool as, sadly, Edinburgh is pretty much all I'll get to do of Scotland on this visit...schedule is way too packed for anything else.
Seeing as by the time we got done with the airport and picked up the rental car, it was pushing mid afternoon, so we are doing the city centre today. Instead we found a cinema and watched X-Men: First Class. Brilliant! Okay, I knew Michael Fassbender would be great as Erik Lensherr/Magneto but he was even better than that! That man can do intensity, or what. Sure, there were some corny/stretching the suspension of disbelief moments (a hovering SR-71, wtf?), but nowhere near enough to spoil the rest. And there is a great cameo appearance in there as well!

I mean, he was amazing in the movie! *L* Loved the film, loved the acting. It made up for the suckiness of the 3rd X-Men film.
Glad you made it there safely!

It really did make up for the suckiness...and they did a great job all round with the storyline. And Emma Frost was great too...I get to see why you find her such an amazing character. *g*
