I'm gonna marry Laura Marling. Have I told you this already? Anyway, she is amaaaazing, and I lover her music so much I don't know what to do with myself when I listen to her. She makes my insides feel all mushy.

Went out to a cabin this weekend with people from work. There was drinking, and hot tubbing and sunbathing and gossiping. Then there was ( Read more... )

Also: I just realized recently that I won't be home when the Eurovision Song Contest is on. That's pretty much horrifying, and I don't know what to do about that. I'll be in... Latvia, I think, when the first semi-final is one. I'll be in Lithuania when the second semi-final is one (the one Iceland is in, so need to find a way to watch it!!). And I ( Read more... )

So last night was amazingly fun! I didn't leave the house until early evening, when I went to vote, and then ran to the liquor store right before closing. I wasn't the only one who did that - I've never seen a line that long! On the way to GL's, Vera and me discussed the Eurovision entries. I couldn't remember the Serbian entry from the semi-final ( Read more... )

With the semi-final of Eurovision tomorrow, I'm running awfully late...

My opinion on the songs in the semi-final ( ... part 2 )

So the semi-final is on Thursday, and I have yet to make a Eurovision post. This just occurred to me tonight - I don't know what's wrong with me! So, click the cut if you want to read about some of the horrible, horrible music Europe has to offer this year...

I spent the day bouncing between uuugh, so hungover! and uuugh, so SICK!, and I couldn't tell you which felt worse.

I've had a bad cold for days now, but I refused to let it get in the way of my fun weekend plans, so I spent Friday night in the good company of some girls from work, a couple of beers, and a lot of SingStar (for you Americans, that's ( Read more... )

Yeah. So last night I watched the finals of the Eurovision song contest. Something is seriously wrong with Europe's taste in music.

Greece won. With a pretty crappy song. Was just your regular pop song with exceptionally bad lyrics. Nice dancing, though. Malta came in second, with a pretty boring slow ballad, but the woman who sang it was ( Read more... )

I JUST WROTE A LONGLONG POST AND THE COMPUTER LOST IT

But I'm not mad, cause I just had my interview at the American Embassy (also known as The Place Dixie Hates Most Of All) and it was fabulous. I admire the women who do the interviews, I really do. How exhausting it must be to be so friendly and chatty all day long ( Read more... )

So here's another long post on Eurovision (the first one is here). This one includes Iceland, yay!

( Eurovision babble: Part Two )

Okay. I couldn't sleep, so after trying on my dirndl (it still fits!) I decided I *should* write Eurovision entries like last year ( Read more... )
