And tonight in Australia is...

EUROVISION!!!!!!!!!! Campy, blissful joy of awfulness. I loves it.

I have a bottle of duty free Maker's Mark. I have fish tacos (or I will in about 20 mins) and I have a comfy couch and SBS.

(Why, yes, Oz does get this about 24 hours after Europe).

Romania made my year. Romania was unbelievably brilliant (and I'm not entirely being snarky here). That soprano cut through me.

But WTF Germany...?! I thought I was hearing last year's winning song.

Fish tacos. With Mango and Avocado salsa. Ommmm.

Dito!! That song was so frakking bad. There were also issues here about the song being stolen etc...

Glad you arrived home safely.

What's Eurovision? I could google it, but I'd rather get your description :)

Eurovision Song Contest. The annual campfest of woeful songs. A mix of the highly insane and outlandlish .... See this year's vampire from Romania, last year's Russian grannies, and Ireland's Dustin the Turkey from a couple of years back, interspersed with soulful ballads (Celine Dion won one year for France), and then a few preppy, boppy numbers and the odd rather good song (Lena's Satillite from Germany 2 years ago, and of course ABBA). Then the costumes and special effects. This year we had a Romanian vampire (male) who sang soprano opera, some dancing Greeks saying that "Alcohol is free", more naked oiled flesh than the average gay mardi gras parade, and more wind tunnels than a Boeing factory ( ... )

Wow, thanks. Sounds like fun!! Sorry I can't see it. I'm listening to the Victoria Day fireworks from the park up the road in honour of Romania, apparently! :D

Romania was AMAZING. I wanted him to win so badly. Plus, y'know, nearly naked men oiled up in red underpants.
