In the same weekend that Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova win the Oscar for Best Original Song in a Feature Film, representing our country with pride and talent.......we elect as our representative to go to Eurovision none other than.....
Dustin
the
Turkey.
Just how incongruous it is that these two events coincided I cannot gauge as yet.
But it's big - big I tell ya!

Sick
http://www.asofterworld.com/
I'm in recovery from a nasty vomiting bug - the horrible bit involving puking every hour and wanting to die in between is over. Now I'm just wrecked and, although I should eat, am very suspicious of food in general.
Woe is me.

The Show Must Go On...
So after a restful one day's break I'm back in organisation mode - 100 Minutes 2008 is running in Project from 5-15 March and I'm in charge of publicity...
So come see it please!
It's 'ten short plays about now', all new writers and young talented actors and directors. I've sat through early rehearsals and I can already say without hesitation that it will rock your world (not like a big bag of drugs, more like a really good cake, so says the DOD).
Painted Filly Theatre was set up by my buddies Ruth and Jennifer back in 2005 and has produced consistently good stuff ever since. Check out www.paintedfilly.com for more info and reviews etc.
You can book your tickets at www.project.ie or 01-8819613.
Over and out.
Du jour:
This Business of Love - Domino - hard to track down song that was used for a dance routine at Goodnight Sweetheart - truly sensational! Voila. Daniel and Sandra.

And the Oscar goes to....
Me! For pulling off the Red Carpet Cabaret!
Despite a venue without a bar or a sound system I managed to get a kicking swing night together with Cabaret performances, an Oscar poll and raffle.
I rock.
It's been a mental few weeks but I never felt that stressed - I never felt that I wasn't in control. I might finally be ready for some serious event management.
Which is lucky because I'm doing publicity for 100 Minutes in March, I have more fundraising to do....oh and I'm Communications Officer for an NGO!
Did I sign up for a half-marathon in April too?
I'd better start training....

Ladies Night
Me and the gal pals attempt to have a Girly night yesterday was an unmitigated failure.
Instead of girl talk, Dirty Dancing and glasses of wine in our PJs we had Rugby, steak sandwiches, more rugby, dirty pints and 16 straight hours of drinking and partying.
All in all a great day!

Home.
Ciara had to climb the gate to get in - you know it's a good night when the buzzer isn't working when you get home.
Now we're having cheese and crackers and tea *happy*
We don't want to go to work in the morning.
Ciara here, she who had to climb the gate. No minge soreness, though the spikes did cut if very fine, or would have done if they had cut. Band were good. enough. One was 16 year old sounding like 20 year olds (Arctic Monkeys) the other were 27 years olds sounding like my youth (gone). Amen people. Amen. Amen to heaven we're all still here amening.
Ok bed now.
