Here I Go Again...

Back from Herrang - and still wrecked.

Who would have thought that dancing all day and all night for a week would be tiring? It didn't help that the 'private' room had a constant stream of people seeking showers going through it....really need to become a better sleeper.

It was a great week overall though - Herrang is still a fun, happy place and yet more Irish people got hooked this year. I especially enjoyed the final night party 'Home of the Happy Feet' - a bingo hall, nurses going around giving out 'medication', a senior Olympics, quilting, knitting, easy-chew food - so much imagination and creativity. Will get some pictures up as soon as I figure out how to get the new broadband working on my laptop at home.

Busy week of cultural imbibement ahead - Savage Grace at the Lighthouse Cinema in Smithfield tonight, Big Love at the Peacock on Thursday, Painted Filly play readings in Project on Saturday, TKO at Whelan's on Saturday and...um....Mamma Mia on Wednesday night....ok I know it will be awful, if this review is anything to go by anyway. I have a morbid curiosity about it due to my love of Abba music and how good the stage musical is meant to be.

I think it'll be worth it to see:
a) Pierce Brosnan attempting to sing
b) Meryl Streep doing the splits
c) to get to eat a big bag of popcorn and maybe some Ben & Jerry's ice-cream. (why else do we go to the cinema really?)

Reviews and reports here shortly.
