Oh Lordi Lordi!

Yes, pay homage to the new Eurovision Song Contest winners 2006! With songs such as 'They Only Come Out At Night', or even the catchy 'Would You Love a Monsterman?' you cannot help but support Lordi in their quest for Euro stardom. They represented the usually unsuccessful nation of Finland and took the prize with a landslide victory. Im so glad to see a change to the usual tedium of Eurovision. As Pugh predicted rightfully, the political voting was as strong as ever. Who would have thought it - Armenia giving the full twelve to Mother Russia!?!?! The only decent points the UK got were from Ireland and Malta - the only two which only like us! France absolutely sucked for a change and it showed. Little Brother Monaco could only give 4 points to it's Big Brother! Not to mention of course, there were marks for effort in the mullet department. The Russian entry (apparently a sex God in Eastern Europe) was a boy band member's role model, and topped it off with a mullet which is straight outta the 80's!

In other news, my recent essay has been submitted so I'm beginning the long stretch until late September with the dissertation. Wish me luck! I celebrated finishing my last essay with some new found temporary freedom, with which I watched Pulp Fiction and the new Da Vinci Code film. I must say I prefered the book to the new film of the Dan Brown classic, but I can't really be surprised by the disappointment it proved to be. Jen feels very strongly about this, but always slates film adaptations. Especially Harry Potter films! I guess the best thing to do is to watch it as a film and not pick out bits from the book. 5 stars go to Sir Ian - what a good Tebing he made!

My musical palette has been varied of late. I have very much approved of the new Chilis album, Stadium Arcadium, which I sure has been dipped in a pool of funk. It's just soo Goddamn funky! Just like the older stuff! Also I have been checking out Lordi, since they are truly superstars now they have won such a prestigious prize (ha ha!). Wolves in Wolves Clothing by NOFX is awesome too.

I have been challenged by Jon to compose a square collage of my fave albums, which I hope to get going on here soon. Look out for that and I challenge you all to do the same!!!
