Lomography!
----------
Today I bought an ActionSampler! Only 16 squid from my local art cinema shop. Photo's will now be taken.

"Lomography is the commercial trademark of Lomographische AG, Austria for products and services related to photography. The name is inspired by the former state-run optics manufacturer LOMO PLC of St. Petersburg, Russia".

Projector Fest!
----------
Enough talk of pancakes. Something just as important that begins with the letter P is Projector Animation Festival which was held from the 30th Jan to the 2nd of Feb at Dundee Contemporary Arts. Much fun was had with my multipass:
*Lots of shorts including one by my friend Lesley Barnes' who's film Herzog and the Monsters was shown a grand total of three times. Not bad at all.
*An inspiring masterclass from Ed Hooks on how to act for animation.
*Very interesting talks by Phil Malloy, Sharon Colman and the one and only Bill Plympton! I got three things signed by him. Felt a bit greedy.
*Scottish Premier of Persepolis which was stunning!
*Party with drawing tools provided!

All should go next year.
Pancakes!
----------

Last year I made no pancakes. This year, to avoid repeating the disappointment I made sure that Shrove Tuesday 2008 was full of crepes and wasn't crap. My culinary attempts tasted awesome and I even managed to make a inflatable one completely by accident (when I flipped it it just started to expand and no I didn't use self raising flour. See photo for proof)
In the end it seems Delia Smith lies through her teeth. I only managed to make six and a half when the recipe promises 12 to 14.
