aka, the weekly post of random.

* Fleet Week 2010 is upon us! The Navy and Marines roll in to town today. I shall take my usual Memorial Day stroll down Hudson River Park to get a good view of the ships and their contents. This year's schedule.

* Not unrelated: so I was directed by Tom Ricks' blog to a Marine Corps Times article on a baker's

I decided not to go see PoP because of the casting choices, other than that I've heard it's a fun movie.

Eurovision had already amused me so much this year, by bringing into existance a picture of the Norwegian contestant where the guy looks like a cross between John Sheppard and Adam Lambert. He has been named Jondam.

Other than that I am mystified by the fact that the German contestant continues the streak of being weirdly popular in Germany and getting press like there are actually people out there who believe she has a chance to do well.

I have roga friended; I saw it before it became a Thing. ;)

Yeah, I figured that there was a high probability that you'd seen it (before or after it was all over the fandom) but I included the link in case you hadn't, just easier that way. Good on you though. ; )

Isn't that known as The Hasselhoff Effect? :}

I have no idea? I don't actually care about Eurovision. I just get some peripheral amusement out of it.
