I'm doing this early this year because I know the list won't expand itself over the course of a few days (well, it just expanded from three songs to a few more after some research, so theoretically it is possible). And because my mom is sick, fell asleep early, so I have a little time at hand tonight. Which I'm not sure will be the case in a week ( Read more... )

It has taken me a few days before I got to continue that Eurovision post I started on Sunday. Which is why I decided not to continue it, but rather start a new one for 2024 ( Read more... )

Silly me thought I'd have to write up Eurovision 2023 before I can get my thoughts about 2024 to paper. Huh. I recently went through my Eurovision tag and shockingly realized that I never even wrote about 2022! That's once again three years to catch up on ( Read more... )

I admit that this is a pretty lame title for the entry I'm about to write. But it somehow fits the topic - a topic which has kept me ... occupied the past few weeks, and if it weren't for this topic (and the to-do list from last year, which still lists writing a Eurovision 2023 LJ entry), I may have had time to write about Eurovision instead.

This has been an emotional day. The exhibition gala was great fun. Meanwhile I recorded the coverage of the monarchy switch in Denmark and watched it afterwards. Gosh, that was something else. I loved to see the massive crowd that came to greet the new king. I loved to see how much it touched him. I'd love to take a few moments and write a poem ( Read more... )

Here we go. I did listen to a few mashups this year (still miss Mashup Germany, though I understand the reasons he stopped - but his end-of-year mashups truly were amazing and always made me super emotional ... well, the 2-3 years I got to watch them), but those were mostly full of stuff I didn't know, while most of the songs I already had ( Read more... )

I somehow don't like technology these days. I just quickly decided to go type a quick entry even though I'm dead tired, just to discover that the laptop battery was dead. So I haven't been on my laptop for a month, so what?! The damn thing was turned off, why can't it hold it battery that long ( Read more... )

I made it back to the capital, and I can hear the idiots outside burn their firecrackers already, so it's about time to write this entry, I guess! Also because I'm keeping my options open to have all of tomorrow for K-drama galore, and because it's a good excuse to postpone calling MNF. (I don't think I have ever called him, he only ever called me ( Read more... )

I'm pretty sure this will turn out to be the shortest list yet. Why? Because I not only tried intermittent fasting in May, I actually went on with it (in case you're curious: I managed to burn my Covid fat and lost 5 kg altogether without limiting myself too much, yay!, but that belly is still there, I gained another 2kg during the holidays, so I ( Read more... )

I didn't want to jump on the bandwagon. I didn't want to join the hype. (In fact, I was quickly getting extremely annoyed by the hype.) And in fact I haven't ( Read more... )
