My Summer Adventures in Dublin

Dublin: June 13- August 14.

Day 29

First thing that happens today, my phone dies. Sweet.

After work I met up with Kelsey because I saw her walking down the street as I rode my 77 bus, jumped off and caught up with her. Then I went to Hoggis Figgins (I totally spelled that wrong) and looked for this book by Ray Bradbury called The October Game, but to no avail. I think I'm going to head over to the American book store tomorrow to give it a search.

After a failing but lovely time in the beautiful book store, my personal international happy place, I met up with Jimmy at Starbucks. After a cup of coffee we headed over to the Irish Film Institute and caught the new Woody Allen flick, Whatever Works. I've seen almost all of his movies and this one was in the same vein as the other New York pictures, but was surreal characterization of a Woody Allen movie.

The theater the movie played in was beautiful, old and huge, with sunken red velvet seats. Just the experience of seeing a Woody Allen in that theater in Dublin was very memorable. I want to go back to the theater to see the Kristin Scott Thomas French film Partir sometime soon. Basically, I love the cinema.

Jimmy and I had tea then departed. That's all for today!
