Angband: Douze Points
May. 21st, 2006 12:07 amWatched the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time since Guildo Horn.
Boy, did that contest change. For the better, mainly, even though some of the songs, frankly, sucked. (Disco just isn't original anymore, you know; and some just couldn't sing; and some were boring. Aaaanyway.) All in all, it was extremely amusing, especially with Jörg's and my unofficial snarking contest going on.
White's the new black, huh?
And hey, the Finns proved that you can be a LARPer and still succesful in the mainstream!
I want Lordi for Ring*Con 2006!

littleshebear posted this link. For those of you who didn't see Finland's Eurovision contribution and want to know what the hell I'm talking about, go watch it. It's from the semi-finals on Thursday and not the best of qualities, but it still has singing orcses! With wings!
However, I please ask that the Formeryugoslawianrepublicofmacedonia be henceforth known as FYROM, lest the evening is over before the name of the country has been finished, kthx.
(I actually wouldn't have minded the Lithuanians winning. After that song winning, nobody would ever have been able to take that contest serious. Hurrah for parodies!)
Word of the Evening:
"beeindrucksvollend"
(could be roughly translated as "impressiving")
Quote of the Evening:
(Commentators, After-Show-Party)
"You don't have to feel guilty!"
"But I like feeling guilty! I'm a Catholic!"
Peace Out. Kittenspam can wait yet another day.
