Quite a bit's been happening over the last three weeks starting with flying over the Annecy in France to attend the Annecy International Animation Festival with a few friends from work and ending with the purchase of an iPad2 on the way back through Hong Kong.
The Annecy Festival was simple awesome! Great films, great behind-the-scenes presentations on things like Tangled (which i totally geeked out about when i found out it was happening) and La Luna the new short film by Pixar which i can say is really charming, definitely the one with the most heart I've seen come out of the studio.
Like I said, charming, in no small way because it was directed by a European so the comical moments aren't really gags but just quaint observational humour that I totally loved.
Anyway, learned a lot, saw a lot, met a lot of really awesome, talented people and had an absolute blast.
After Annecy we continued on to Venice where i could quite happily spend another few months living. The place is amazing. Tall, thin alleyways and streets which lead to larger more open areas and then onto bridges or even just a dead end with an opening onto a canal. Totally loved the place from top to bottom. Can't say the same for Paris or Rome which I found rather dull, I'm not into big cities at all.
What can I say? If it ain't quaint and small towny, it only makes me nonplussed and all frowny
