I'm Logan (20). Born in Canada, raised in America, and this is everything from then on. Sometimes I like to pretend that I'm a writer, and I spend too much time watching movies. My favourite film genre is James Bond.

If for any reason you want to see what I do at film school, here's my Vimeo page.

Just as a heads up, I really do like to write, so the text:everything else ratio is quite unbalanced.

I also run a blog called Looney Tunes Stills where you'll find gifs from Mickey Mouse cartoons.

 

Today was such a long day. I walked practically all of Dublin. I started at my apartment (the far north side of the city) and walked to school (the far south-east side of the city). Then afterwards we were starting a walking tour at St. Stephen’s Green - about a 15 minute walk from school. Then we walked for roughly 2 to 3 hours from St. Stephen’s Green through the Viking neighborhoods and the Liberties all the way to the Guinness Storehouse where I learned to pour a perfect pint of Guinness! Afterwards a few friends and I went to a kind of touristy bar in the Temple Bar area called Merchants Arch Bar where I had some pretty great Fish and Chips and a Harp (ew). Such a perfect day!

And if all goes well, I’ll be taking off to Cork and Killarney for the weekend!!!

Ya Hey by Vampire Weekend

“Modern Vampires of the City” is basically my soundtrack to Dublin thanks to my girlfriend and I listening to this album several times on our Cape May trip just prior to my departure to Dublin.

And I couldn’t be more pleased. It’s so good.

We had a Micro Pub Crawl tonight in central Dublin!

Started off at Brogan’s for open mic poetry (which didn’t happen), travelled to Sweeney’s for some surprise open mic comedy, and then finished off at The Mezz for some live music!

A great night. Plenty of good craic.

Eventually I’m gonna catch you guys up on everything I’m doing.

But my schedule is seriously so constricted between school and doing stuff for myself, so I don’t know.

I’ll try to at least post pictures!

I’m loving it here in Dublin by the way!!!!

I totally belong here.

So I’m in Dublin now

That’s literally all I have time to say.

Escape is at Hand for the Travellin’ Man

Tomorrow I’m flying away to Dublin, Ireland, where I’ll be studying writing for the next two months.

Dublin, Dublin, Dublin, Dublin, Dublin.

That’s all that’s been coming out of my mouth for a year now. There has been so much build up and so many victories and failures leading up to this moment.

And it’s a big moment.

Six weeks in Dublin, spending each weekend exploring a different part of Ireland, and three more weeks exploring Europe, travelling through the Netherlands, England, Scotland, Belgium, Hungary, and possibly Vienna and Italy.

I’d be excited if there wasn’t so much paperwork and orderly items to be taken care of, but I’ll be escaping it all in a short while.

I’m a sucker for relevant context, and The Tragically Hip were right: Escape is at Hand for the Travellin’ Man.

I’ll most likely be starting a travel blog separate from this one, so stay tuned for that, folks! I’ll see you all across the pond!
