I’ve had a few “want to blog” moments since the last post but I haven’t had the energy to do it until now. What’s happened in the last few weeks?

I went on a four-day trip to Auckland. University T2 has started again. An uncle of mine passed away. Both my parents birthday has come and gone. Rather eventful if I listed it down like that.

I was browsing Gamespot’s Pokemon Diamond when I came across a video that teaches you how to cheat the Pokewalker. OK, this is getting ridiculous. For fuck’s sake, how about not cheat the damn pedometer for once and just start walking? Who knows, maybe your fat blubber might be reduced?

Also, I happened to watch the Eurovision 2010 a few days ago. I think this year(held in Oslo, Norway) wasn’t as good as last year, which was held in Moscow, Russia. The songs weren’t as good as last year. The presentation before each country sang wasn’t as good as last year. Though! Madcon’s performance to while away the time while backstage crew were tallying the final votes was pretty good! I like how we saw each country had a few seconds to appear on the big screen. The in-house cameras all over Europe was a really nice touch as well. Overall, I think Norway did justice to their chosen theme “Share The Moment” what with the appearance of everyday people throughout the show. But when it came to what Eurovision is suppose to do, which is promoting singers with good song choices, they failed.

This year’s winner was Lena singing ‘Satellite’. She hails from Germany.

It sounds to me like a one hit wonder. But we’ll see.

Proof that Europe don’t quite appreciate good songs or singers…

Slovenia – Did not qualify to the final round.

Croatia – Did not qualify to the final round.

Guess who did qualify to the final though? This idiot from Russia.

And to finish up the Eurovision gag, I present Spain with Jimmy Jump about a third way into his performance. Just a note, I hated Spain’s performance as well. The singer looked like a pedophile who had escaped from prison. His breathlessness while singing doesn’t quite help that pedophilia image as well. And then he smiles and really gets into his performance, and the pedophile-o-meter reaches 100000%. I’m not too sure how I manage to sit through his two performances in the final. (Because of Jimmy Jump in his first, he got another go at the end.)
