An interesting weekend so far, when all's said and done, and it's kind of not over what with it being Bank Holiday Monday (woo!).

First of all, Eurovision. I will now attempt to link the the Eurovision preview player:

Eurovision Song Contest - Belgrade 2008 Preview Player

While the Latvian pirates were interesting, I actually voted for Denmark, because it was very cheerful. I thought the Ukrainian entry was good, and Norway. Most of the songs were okay, but there wasn't anything that I thought was brilliant. The UK entry was good, though, so the pitiful amount of points it ended up with was pretty disgusting. You kind of wonder what the point is. I know it makes us sound like sulky kids when we complain about this, but we scored less points than Spain, and they BOOED THEIR OWN SONG. Yikes. And I wouldn't mind if a song won that was clearly good, but the terrible political voting and the fact that it was only an okay song that won is, well, sad.

In the funny song stakes, Bosnia's song was pretty good, and France's was inexplicable. What's a Chivers? Ah, okay, "Chivers is a slang term for a hip young musician", the Times says that so it must be true.

In other news, the Monaco Grand Prix has to have been one of the most exciting races in recent times. It's remarkable that so many cars did survive until the end considering, just took a lot of spare noses. (What an odd thing to say.)

Finally, the place I was 'simming' on or whatever it's called died, so we've had to move back onto the 'old' forums to continue our Stargatey adventures. This is interesting since my character in the 'Conquest of Earth' sim was a Wraith and now we've ended up back on Atlantis without all the explanation that might have occurred if it had happened properly. So I figured I'd send myself back unconscious and let someone else figure it all out...

Maybe I'll get to do something interesting today. Though it is windy outside, maybe it's safer to stay here. Near my computer. :p

Oh, and maybe I'll actually finish the stuff to post to James. I did burn the CD, just have to make some sort of cover for it. Hmmm.
