it’s eurovision eve…a night quietly spent in meditation and deep thought…. mostly about all the catty insults and zingers you’ll be throwing at every act tomorow!
(wait..that’s not just me is it?..welp whatever)
anyways tomorow will be the 66th edition of eurovision, this year hosted in turin..which looks like a lovely place to visit one day…and aside from that it will be a whole lot of extra catty graham norton (assuming you watch the bbc feed) and lots of over the top fancy dress and shows….well..unless you’re a dutch entry…..we’ve been minimalist for a few years now..and it looks like we’re upping the ante this year….or would that be….downing the ante…in the case of minimalism?…..i mean…less is more…and there is more less this year?
whatever…for me it will be an evening of butler duty…making fancy little snacks and delivering wine refills to the girls as needed…(as i cant sit still anyways i might as well be useful right?)i should pick up a little bell or something tomorow so they can summon me properly
will any of yous be watching? got other plans? or maybe better things to be doing? (admittedly not a high bar)
happy weekend deadsplinter!
huh?
i had 2 weeks to prepare for this and come up with something interesting…did i actually do that…of course not…i have an hour left and am scrambling to put something together….reminds me of school oh wait! its friday the 13th..ill jus lean on tha…damnit meg!
that bit was sposed to show up on the main screen….not in the post…what did i do wrong?
The Ways of WordPress are unknowable. Did you put that text in the Excerpt box? If you leave that blank, the main screen just starts from the beginning of the post itself and cuts off after a certain length and very rudely I might add.
Isn’t it going to be given to Ukraine this year? I heard that’s pretty much a given. But what a poisoned chalice: the winner has to host the next time around, correct? And isn’t it always a logistical and financial nightmare? I think I read that one year a country that always submits something “sure to lose” actually won. To their horror they had to host the thing next time. This was a long time ago and I can’t remember which country supposedly did this.
As for myself, it has been summery here so I whipped up a pitcher of cheaters’ Hurricanes because I substituted pineapple juice for the passion fruit and dispensed with the simple syrup and the grenadine. I make gallons of this as a punch sometimes for parties and it’s always a huge hit. Did you know that the glass in the video is known as a hurricane glass? Yes, no matter what tiki drink you order, a mai tai, a zombie, a Blue Hawaiian, whatever, if it comes in that glass it’s a hurricane glass.
i put it in the alternative ad code box…..wich was apparently….not the right place
ive only just found the excerpt box…
not the most straight forward posty maker ever this
…there’s a field in the section down the right side that’s labelled “excerpt” & if the text goes in there it shows up on the main page, I believe?
damnit…ive found it now….i went for alt ad code…coz it looked like the right kinda place…not knowing what any of that means
Wait, fancy little snacks and wine for Eurovision? I somehow envisioned the traditional refreshments being more like the stuff Ryanair passengers on a 15 Euro flight to Ibiza would eat and drink when they arrived at 5 am.
“Crisps” in unusual and startling flavors and many bottles of cheap Carling beer.
long as it isnt prawn cocktail im happy….
I have this image of the classic Eurovision watch party being someone hauling a TV out into an street and 150 people of all ages standing around handing out bottles and cups and bags from a bodega equivalent while a bunch of Portuguese teens on the screen bounce around in lime green costumes singing about hope after a broken heart.
And the TV is black and white even though everyone is watching Eurovision 1998.
i has a variety of cheeses and stuffed olives and peppers and also little crackers with smoked salmon at mo
here…eurovision snacks
Happy hour will be delayed for me this evening. Today is day one of my high school reunion. Hanging with the old people this weekend. Wish me luck.
good luck mate!
try to not catch any old people cooties
@Farscythe you turned me on to Eurovision. I’m afraid it was yet another cultural phenomenon I had missed.
i never knew it was a phonemajog
its just a thing i grew up with
good fun if you dont take it seriously
Thanks farscy, my happy hour started so early I forgot it was Friday. I’ve been drinking Aperol Spritzs all day long!
no worries…i think i kinda sorrta fucked this one up
but….it has its own charm :p
anyways….word is bond
said bond does not guarantee quality tho
I like it!
No Eurovision for me. I’m immune to its charms, apparently.
But not to this guy’s:
Hope everybody has a great weekend.
have you tried reversing the order?
have that guy before you try eurovision
LOL. Shit, process IS important!
I’m sure they can make a bell sound on their phones to summon you?
ha! they probably could
please dont encourage more phone use around here tho
i kinda hates it….
