Looks like I should start betting money!

Sooo... tonight we saw the final of Eurovision song contest, embraced not only by the rainbow people, but other citizens of Europe AND other continents!

I, myself, LOVE the contest in question. The clothes, the background, the stage, the lighting, the good songs, the gorgeous ladies, the hot men, the dancers, the terrible songs and costumes that are fun to diss, the ruckus that some countries getting points and some NOT getting causes and the list goes on...
All in all. I. love. it.

This year I had pretty much six favourites from which three managed to get into top 5!
Lucky!? ;D
My favourites, NOT in any specific order... well, let's make it an alphabetical order (and let's throw in the results as well for the heck of it!):
Azerbaijan (1), Denmark (5), Greece (7), Iceland (20), Moldova (12) and Sweden (3).

So yeah. Out of those six, four got into top 10 and one was close to it (only 10 points behind Lena, who was 10th somehow). Good, huh?

Azerbaijan's song was so cute and sweet and like someone said, it could very well fit into a climatic scene in Grey's Anatomy :D
Denmark was so catchy and nice! And the boys were cute as hell! I don't care if people think that they stole it from MUCC or Andreas Johnson (lol, does that mean that MUCC stole it from Andreas Johnson!? Or vice versa!?). I mean for real. Who cares. The melody is simple and it'd be a surprise if someone HAD NOT used it before!
Greece. I can't even describe what I feel when I see and hear that man singing. The rap could've been a bit better BUT HOLY SHIT THE SINGING. POWER FIST. I loved it.
Iceland was SOOOO nice! Hemmut ♥ The song was so warm. It was just lovely~
Moldova had some real party going on! You could immediately see that they're professionals when on stage. And I love the way they combine hardcore, folklore music and who knows what! I adore that kind of music~
Sweden. Saade ♥ The semi-final was the first time I saw and heard him and I have to admit, it was love at first sight/hearing. The song was good and it worked. As did the performance.

Other songs I liked were France's and UK's. Well, I loved Blue, but their song could've been better because I know they can do better. And I like opera so that's probably why I enjoyed France as well!

I am not going to go on a rant on songs I didn't like, unless someone really wants me to x)
But! I might talk something about the hair and costumes someday if I find pictures to go with them because some of them where just... what :D

So what did YOU like? And do you think I should actually say (=rant) something about the songs I didn't like?

KLARA VAPPEN!!!

First of all, I'm very sorry that I haven't updated in 3 weeks. There is a good reason(s) though.

1st: I had one of my final assignments (a performance) 14th of April and hence, had to concentrate on that one. A lot.
2nd: After that AND on top of that I've been wrestling with other assisgnments, like 3 essays and a model box.
3rd: I went to Finland for Easter, spent 12 days there, barely doing any essays :'D

And now, that I'm finally back, I'm still wrestling with 3 essays, 2 evaluations, one model box and a multimedia presentation. Plus I should start deciding and learning lines for one of the final performances. Oops.

So yeah, I'm busy and still I spend my time doing everything else... like last night, I went to see Thor~
Tonight, I'm thinking about Source Code x)

Ah well, since this is a quick filler and apology entry, I'll give you few pics from my trip to Finland (taken with my phone)!!!

My cousin's dog.
I was making the bed for myself on the sofa and as soon I had cleared it off all the stuff the kids had left on it, he jumped on it and laid down. I decided to make the bed on him...
He just doesn't care :D


Otherwise, Finland was pretty grey, brown and dusty. The normal, derpressing mid-season of winter and spring :'D




The most colourful thing being the Helsinki underground which is always so... orange!





On Monday the 25th, we drove to see our relatives with my cousin and her kids. Finnish countryside? Well, it looks like this:

There are fields...

Then there're lots of forests...

Some cool bridges...

And lakes. So many lakes.

It was really nice seeing relatives since I hadn't seen them in AGES. Shame it was only for a day.
Then it was back to Helsinki to see friends (= is running around the city, paying A LOT to travel, since the public transport is EXPENSIVE in Helsinki).
Oh, the underground map of Helsinki is ridiculous compared to London's and even to Stockholm's tunnelbana:


So easy to get lost :DDD
But yeah, it was really nice seeing everyone. Hopefully I'll be able to pay all my bills etc. and start saving money for plane tickets... again :'D

I really have to start working on my essay now. I leave you with a picture of my new friends:
