Stress Pants

Exceedingly stressed organising the charity swing night in February - really didn't leave myself enough time considering I'm going to England swing dancing the weekend before and that leaves.....um......one weekend in which to prepare for the whole thing. Luckily the spot prizes are pouring in so the raffle will be good....unluckily the dance performers have feck all time to rehearse so the 'cabaret' side' of it is likely to be shite. D'oh.

I'm calling it the 'Red Carpet Cabaret' cos it's the week before the Oscars. We're using Fimbase as a venue, the dance performances will all be movie-themed, there'll be an Oscar poll competition, movie clips will play in the background and there'll be popcorn!

Film-tastic.

Ps Ciara's amazing.( she made me write that) Shut up Ciara!

She's telling me about her dead list for 2008- the morbid competition (run by Canadians) where you predict what famous people are going to die in the coming year. On her list: Aretha Franklin, Gorbachev, John Goodman, Maggie Thatcher, Ian Paisley, Kurt Douglas, Little Kim, Naomi Campbell, Keith Richards, OJ Simpson, Janet and Michael Jackson-you get more points for young people so you've got to consider who's old, who's fat and who lives on the edge.............................I didn't say it was a nice competition.

We're going out to a gig at Whelan's tonight and after my stress pants week I need a few beers - since I don't want a hangover we're gonna start early and finish early - I've just finished my first beer in weeks - God it was good. So much for my fitness kick..........but in fairness- there are crazy blizzards outside, work has been mental, I'm organising an event that I'm worried will be awful - if alcohol wasn't made for situations like this then when is it?

Anyway it's time for beer number 2 :)
