To say that I have had an excellent weekend would be an understatement of some note! Yes indeed it has been! After the headaches, calisthenics and somersaulting of the last few weeks attempting to juggle education, examinations, work and other miscellaneous projects it was a welcome release from all those headaches! Yes indeed it has been quite an experience!

As planned me and the boyz rocked into Carnivore on Friday bent on a night of fun and merriment. We arrived early and therefore had the luxury of sitting down, as for some reason the whole thing was being held indoors.

We got to see the cream of Kenya's crop (And the truth be told some of the Cream needs to be thrown out speedily) but 99% of the finalists before us earned toothy grins from all and sundry.

We got to see Nameless, who I must say is an entertainer and a half. That man can rock the building! Also got to see an unfortunate budding rapper called Kaz whose attempt to emulate Lil' Kim fell flat on it face and she was booed headlong off the stage. Also got to see Mustafa and the Vultures belting out Mona Lisa! Some dudes called XYZ also came along but they were only adept at wiggling their middles before they departed. Redsan also made an appearance. It was all very pleasant. Ted Kwaka was the MC and everything went smoothly.

Silly me! Miss Tourism was also there, along with Miss Kenya and Miss India Kenya, as well as an odd Assistant Minister who I doubt was there in his official capacity. Along with Dennis Ndavi, Pinky Ghelani and many other people I am just too lazy to name here. Let's move on to the interesting parts of the night:

Howled with rapture when Nameless brought the house down
Watched a dazzling array of beautiful maidens try and impress on us the fact that they should be Miss Universe. The dance routines were something to behold and the one who did the Robot!! Well, that there is the stuff that dreams are made of!
Listened keenly as Kaz did a splendid rendition of Redemption Song.
Watched as short listing was carried out of the candidates.
Howled with laughter as Kaz attempts to be Kenya's Lil' Kim. My neighbours, very blunt individuals very promptly booed her off the stage, poor lass!
Also watched some two young lads who have middles like ants wiggle them wildly in the name of performing. The applause came exclusively from the ladies
Watched some more short listing and took in some very tired jokes from the MC
Nameless came back and brought the house down again, followed by Mustafa and the Vultures
More short listing followed by introductions to Miss Tourism, Miss India Kenya and Miss Kenya. Most of the applause came from the gents.
Yells of outrage when the favourite despite a flawless performance can only make it to second place while the winner without a doubt waffled during the question and answer session.
Listen as the crowd outright boos the winner.

Stuff I Did

Seeing as I was seated close to the entrance of the enclosure where the models were seated I shamelessly smiled foolishly and was shamelessly smiled back at.
Yelled bloody murder when the loser won!
Threw my hands in the air, and waved them around like I just didn't care when Mustafa and Nameless were on stage
Met Mustafa and his Vultures and shook hands
Met Redsan
Bumped into Miss Tourism and was actually in the process of saying hi when she turned abruptly and I ended up saying hello to a buxom I had not intention whatsoever of saying hello to!
Also ran into an extremely muscular maiden in a spaghetti strapped dress who quite frankly brought to my mind what Mike Tyson might look like if he was dressed as a maiden. I ducked for cover immediately afterwards
Had an altercation with a maiden who clearly had begun downing Smirnoff Ice quite some time earlier. For some reason she felt that she was the most beautiful creature under that roof and I came very close to pointing out that when they say alcohol makes you beautiful, they don't mean that you are the one who is supposed to drink it!
Had a jolly old time dancing to some excellently deejayed music. We clocked four hours and some minutes on that dance floor trying to define the term fluid motion. I trust anyone who was watching me now knows what the term means!

March 1: Miss Universe Kenya Chapter at The Carnivore! Shall be there with bells on! Let's all go!!!
March 2: Koi's Birthday Bash. Again shall be there!
March 3: Recharge batteries from March 1 and March 2.

Finally summoned the energy to start work on those articles that I have been promising and have already done two or three. Watch this space!
Postpone the idea of the essays at least for the first few months. I shall get to them in good time
Write lots more of those articles that everyone is harassing me to write.
Let you sample some of My other works. I invite opinions on some of the short stories I've written
Change the entire layout of the page

Otherwise everything will pretty much me the same ;-)
