Well, call me a poofta, but I love me a bit of Eurovision.  It's just so much fun! My favourite, Denmark, won by quite a bit.  She looked a bit scary - she looked ill she was so skinny and pale, but the song was really catchy.  I also liked Iceland, Italy and France.  Italy might have been affected by the fact that I fancied the singer a bit.  Definitely not the case for Iceland! I think the funniest song was Romania - some strange guy singing in a really deep voice, trying (I hope) to be scary, before switching into a super-high pitched voice for a bit of popera, all whilst standing on a platform above a big flowing red dress.  Sweden's skit by the presenter and a comedian about all-things-Swedish was really funny too.  I was laughing along, even though I don't even really know much about Sweden, so I didn't know the stereotypes even, but the humour was great.  The host was wicked, but I get the feeling a lot of the humour would've been lost on some other cultures.  I reckon British and Swedish humour isn't too different.  Graham Norton is great too - really good replacement for Terry.  Just the right amount of sarcy!   Shock of the evening for me was Norway doing so well - I thought that was really forgettable.  Also pretty shocked that the swaying beached whale also known as Bonnie Tyler managed to come 19th! I would've put it further down.  It's embarrassingly poor - maybe it's time to stop auditioning in the ex-music-star pension queue for our Eurovision entries!

Anyway, good news about Denmark winning is that it's not too far away, so I'm thinking I might go and see next year's contest.  I might need to win the lottery first as the tickets are expensive and Denmark is expensive to be in too - I went once and pretty much lived on bread rolls from the supermarket for 4 day

Highlight of the day - Off Their Rockers on ITV! It was a hidden camera show, which isn't usually my sort of thing (except for Three Non-Blondes, which I adored), but all the pranksters on this one were old people.  Something about that just made it really funny.  It was, like, totally, lol, and for real - as in I l-ed out loud.  Also, it renewed my faith in humanity as all the people reacted so nicely.  It was great.

Lowlight of the day - My Little Princess.  A horrendously shallow, stupid and non-sensical farse of a TV show on E4 that renewed my lack of faith in humanity.

My day was fairly boring today.  I had to GO TO WORK which was pretty rubbish.  It was pretty chilled though and I hadn't really made any plans anyway.  I'm still on a probation period there too, so it's a good chance to prove my dedication.

One thing I did today (which was my lowlight until I saw My Little Princess) was watch the video for Bonnie Tyler's Eurovision entry for us this year.  You can see her above, going for the beached whale look in the video.  The song has about as much tune as the cast of Off Their Rockers have teeth and the cast of My Little Princess have wit, charm and intelligence.  It's so forgettable, which is the worst thing a Eurovision entry can be, as it people have to remember it and vote for it after seeing nearly 30 songs! Anyway, I will rant about Eurovision closer to the time anyway.  It led me a nice trip down memory lane, listening to the Serbian lesbians from 2007 and the cute elven Norwegian violinist from 2009.  My flatmate introduced me to the Netherlands 'Ding Dong' from 1976 which I have listened to once but could easily sing to you.  I have now listed to Bonnie's 'Believe in Me' (I had to google it to get the title) FOUR times and couldn't sing one line.  It's never a good sign when the title of the song itself seems to be begging you to like it before it's even started playing.  Me and my housemate have also spent quite a bit of time laughing at literal Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLPWVwNKMAc   Also a TRUE LOL.
