I was always thinking about how much I wanted to leave this Irish town growing up, but have begun seeing this place so differently ever since my international friends spoke about visiting. I started looking for interesting parts of it they might like, and turns out there are a lot. It’s really something to be proud of
i grew up in and moved back to/ now work in a town that gets a ton of tourists. i constantly give recs (some to everyone, some people get the iykyk spots for being extra nice/chill) and receive them in return. we’re going to my husband’s hometown tomorrow and im hoping to stop by Barb and Bernie’s favorite vineyard on the way.
I have learnt in the last year that if I don’t have at least 1 actual conversation with a person each day I start to go crazy. I genuinely don’t think I could survive being stranded by myself as I’m to reliant on socialising with people.
Completely done with university now just waiting for graduation in July. For those who are interested my dissertation was on how music streaming platforms have individualised how we listen to and experience music
My school did a workshop about it when I was like 10 and I think the amount of care and dedication it takes to hand crafting each and every frame is so cool. When its done well you get a really stylised films, I’m thinking like Chicken Run, Wallace and Gromit, Coraline, Fantastic Mr. Fox, ParaNorman and The Box Trolls all of which I loved as a kid and every time I rewatch them I get the same sense of childlike wonder I did when I watched them the first time. I know there’s a lot of crossover with CGI now when making them but just the concept of stop motion animation is really cool.
