Same songs all the way thru.

Why do you ask? Don't you look forward to hearing the same forgettable generic waste of breath for a second time?

Like seriously. Every year I think that things can't get any worse and every time they manage to prove me bloody wrong.
It has become clear to me in the previous days that any attempts at reconciliation and explanation with the community here has failed. I have tried my best. I really have. I pored my heart out trying. But it was all for nothing.

You win. There, I have said it.

Now there is only one thing left to do. Let us see if I can sum up the strength needed to end things once and for all.

Ok so thanks to some British tourists i now know to hang out in the Eurovision village in central Stockholm where they will telecast it in around 2 hours and a bit. I already see fellow Aussies dressed in onesies. This should be good.

For me, I'll go to sauna first, and that will be finished just in time for the Eurovision contest to start. Can't complain! :D

That was a nail biter. It was well worth freezing my arse off in Stockholm weather just to watch it with a crowd of fellow fans. So, so close. But yeah, that was enjoyable.

Yeah, it was so very close. Damn. I had wished for Australia to win. Ukraine's song was beautiful in its way, but it did nothing for me.

Also liked the entries from France and Spain (hadn't heard any of the automatic entries before last night).

A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'?
