Dark Shadows: Excited. :D Eurovision: Disappointed. D:
OH HEY IT'S EUROVISION TIME AGAIN. ANNNND ARMENIA PULLED OUT. GODDAMMIT. >_<
I knew this stupid racist political BULLSHIT would be a thing since this year is in Azerbaijian, but I'm still embaressed that it actually happened. D:
Oh well, our entry sucked this year anyway.
So I guess I'm rooting for Anggun and France now? She's cool I guess. And it's a good song. The music video is pretty hot too, if also REALLY WEIRD AND CONFUSING WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THAT PIG?
(Greece and Cyprus both have really catchy entries too, but they're just OK overall so yeah, sticking with France.)
This was our best entry, imho, from 2008. Yes, better than Eva Rivas in 2010. If we couldn't win with Sirusho it's a lost cause. :P
(OH AND ZALIE, I REMEMBERED WHO YOU LOOK LIKE: EVA RIVAS. SO HARD. I AM JEALOUS.)
I refuse to post our entry from this year before we pulled out, because it was TRAAASHY. D:
SO MY EUROPEAN FRIENDS, WHO ARE YOU ROOTING FOR IF ANYONE?!?
I just got back from Armenia-by-way-of-Wisconsin, and I'll have to type up a report on the amazing Houdini exhibit in Madison when I have some more time, but man, it was INCREDIBLE. I mentioned this briefly in passing on another comm, but Harry Houdini fascinates me to an almost absurd extent, so when this came to Madison:

You had better believe my ass was THERE. Some of the props were mind-blowing. I had no idea the Water-Toture Cell was that tiny! I know Houdini was a small guy, but seriously, I can't imagine ANYONE fitting in that thing, much less having room to escape!
Seriously, how many people from Wisconsin were that cool? NOT MANY. His life reads like an insane fantasy novel. And his wife Bess was amazing and kind of my hero. <3
God, you have NO IDEA how happy I was to be surrounded by Democrats in Madison. My parents live in a very affluent-and-therefore-Republican-ick area, and I swear to God if I had seen one more "I STAND WITH WALKER!" sign on someone's lawn I would have burned the fucking thing down. I hate that man SO SO SO MUCH YOU GUYS.
I have to post some pics I took of the signs in the Onion's office windows though, because they hate him too, and are much more clever and amusing than I am. Lulz were had. :D
(In fact, there was actually a sign that said SCOTT WALKER LOLZ)
SOOOOO DARK SHADOWS.
FINALLY VICTORIA IS IN THE CLIPS SERIOUSLY I CAN'T BELIEVE IT TOOK THIS LONG BUT LOOK! ROMANCE! WITH BARNABAS! STILL WITH THE STUPID JOKES BUT I'LL TAKE WHAT I CAN GET AT THIS POINT AT LEAST IT'S NOT THAT STUPID WE HAVE A CHEVY JOKE AGAIN!
And okay, now I'm convinced I look a bit like Bella Heathcote? Weird-ass shaped head + bulging eyes + cleft chin = ME. She's not Joanna Going level hot, but eh, I'll take it. :p
HEY HEY HOLY SHIT DO HELENA AND MICHELLE LOOK LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO BE AMAZING:
YESSSSS I EXPECT SLASH FIC WITH THESE TWO TO BE FORTHCOMING. <3
On a depressing note: Poor Johnathan Frid. ;_; RIP Barnabas. <3
(Oh, thanks to my crappy compromised immune system, I caught trench mouth [NOTE: FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY DO NOT GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH THIS DON'T EVER] on the plane back to Florida. For those of you lucky enough to not know what trench mouth is: imagine that God hates you. Now imagine that He's decided to show just how much he hates you by way of your mouth. SO YEAH. D:)
