In other news...
* The Saturday before last, I went ice skating at Macquarie with some friends. It had been a while since my last time on ice, but the rollerblading I'd been doing in the meantime seemed to have been useful. That was good, as I had (perhaps unwisely) worn white pants that day, and falling down on wet ice in them would have been quite unfortunate.
* The day after, I went to see Tropfest with a friend. It was my first time there, and the number of people crammed into the Domain was staggering. The organisers said that the crowd topped a hundred thousand this year. Fortunately we managed to find a space to sit. There were sixteen finalists whose short films were shown, and they varied widely in subject matter and tone. We had to leave before the end, because the skies opened up and started pouring down rain, but it was a fun experience.
* On Friday, I went to the AnimeUNSW screening - the first one of the session. Got there late, so I only caught the end of the Lupin movie, but what I saw of it I enjoyed. I joined the gang for dinner afterwards, and as always it was good to catch up.
* The Hayase session is always held on the last Saturday of the month, but I had to give it a miss this time because it was the day of my sister's 21st. She was having her friends over to celebrate that evening, so the bulk of the day for me was spent taking part in a massive cooking and cleaning spree. Twelve hours of intense activity later, all of us were exhausted, but the party went really well, and it looked like everyone had a great time.
* And then Sunday was a day of rest.
