Today was very busy, by my standards.
At lunch time (after most of my day’s classes), I sauntered on down to the Trinity Arts Festival’s Balloon Workshop thing. I thought I’d just snap some photos of people making balloon animals, and then head back to college for the rest of my classes.
I ended up staying there for almost 3 hours (missing a dutch class). It was great… I took photos, and updated the TAF photo set I made on Flickr:
After that, I went back to college with an inflatable sword and Pluto the dog under my arms, and attended an impressively boring German History lecture.

By the way, the guy who did the workshop has a website. Check out his impressive balloonery! Yes, he refers to himself as the Balloonatic.
Then I went and saw “For Your Consideration” on a whim, and fell asleep during it. I woke up as the credits began to roll. I have no idea what happens in the film after the main exposition.
Then, I went to the first TCD Filmmaker’s Society Screenwriting peer-review meeting (it’s not really called that – it’s not really called anything. That’s just the best description I can think of). There were five of us. We read eachothers screenplays and discussed them. It was very good. Now I really ought to finish my screenplay(s).
Tomorrow I’m going to try and attend more TAF things: An African Drumming Workshop and a Film Make-Up Workshop. And I’ll be taking pictures of course.
Second slide: Are those phalli, or am I just hopelessly immature?
Third slide: :shock:
Thirty-ninth slide: OH THE HUMANITY
I particularly enjoyed the photo of the various colors of balloons stored in the Balloonatic’s Magic Box.
