Eurovision 2011

So, the results were disappointing with Azerbaijan winning with an unremarkable song, but the party was a fantastic success!
SWEDEN was robbed!

Wow. I am such a geek. This for me is fantastic. Someone has overdubbed Star Wars with dialogue from Withnail and I. Love, love, love!

This is how I feeling at the moment.


If you want one too...

Eurovision is coming this weekend. I am terribly excited about it.
It should be fun. There will be drinks. I will also be wearing a dreadful Bier Frau costume. (Dusseldorf is this year's host.) Oh, yes, it is true!

Eurovision is a wonderfully cheesy event that combines talent(?), political voting and pagentry. The main rule of Eurovision is that songs cannot be political in nature.

Glorious!

Two sets of identical twins in the competition this year, Jedward from Ireland and Twiins from Slovakia. YAY!

Oh, and the hunk in the photo is Amaury Vassili, representing France by singing Italian opera.

Are you a Dark Tourist? As by definition: Dark tourism is the act of travel and visitation to sites, attractions and exhibitions which have real or recreated death, suffering or the seemingly macabre as a main theme.

Link to an interesting article. I have actually done some "Dark Tourism" in my time. The Anne Frank House, Ground Zero, and Jack the Ripper tour all qualify. Interesting.
