Eurovision!

Oh it was every damn thing I dreamed of and feared.
Eurovision!
Hosts: Excruciating!
Commentary: Sarky!
Performers: Eurotrash disco with ethnic drumming and ra-ra skirts!

I both like and dislike the idea of a semifinal. I like it because I get to see more countries performing. I dislike it because I think that the countries that get selected to go through to the finals have kind of spent all their energy getting there. Wigwam, the Norwegian glam rockers were much more sedate on the second night. I don't know, maybe it was me, and I was a bit jaded. I think that next year, I might tape the semi-final and watch it after the final, for comparison.

( Memorable moments: )

Ahh. Roll on Eurovision Junior...

That word I couldn't remember

The word for when someone gives you an ear worm, is shpadoinkle.
For example: "Damn you Croatia, you shpadoinkled me with your damn song."

Dr Who

The first episode aired on Saturday. I really liked it. They're obviously spending more money on the show than in the olden days (when you could drag bubble-wrap out of the rubbish and paint it green - voila! Alien skin...), but not so much that they would turn their nose up at the old "hold it to your throat and pretend it's strangling you" manoeuvre.

( So, I was a happy fan. )

Looking forward to next Saturday...
