Mh~

Kinda bummed because Actors did a show here in Portland this past Wednesday and I didn’t feel safe enough to go. I’d kind of mentally earmarked it as a “things will be better by then” thing 6 months ago and had a browser tab open to buy tickets this whole time. But, well, they haven’t quite gotten better enough yet. Shows are hard enough for me, socially speaking, but there are layers atop that.

@fahrni :thinkerguns:

@scronide @erinbee FWIW, I worked at Yahoo around 2006 and, uh, yeah

So I'm listening to Adriana A on Bootie Mashup twitch and this mashup of the B52s with Joy Division came on. It just melted my brain.

We Are Domi reminds me I want to get into modular synths

I feel like this Boys Do Cry song from Switzerland is an alternate universe version of What a Wonderful World

B A N A N A

I feel like Laura Pausini has changed outfits like 12 times while the dude hosts have done nothing interesting

Spain reminds me that we've been watching a lot of RuPaul's Drag Race around this house. Which queen is going home?

Ukraine still my fave

Germany seems like a cross between Pete Davidson and Eminem to me

Belgium sounds like a good theme for the next James Bond movie

Oh wait! Mika changed outfits to magenta

Moldova: buncha middle aged dads having a good time at the beer fest

Sweden: okay, back on hold with the customer service line

Australia was majestic as heck

UK looks like a human golden retriever from space and I'm into it

"oh here we have Spain-- er i mean Romania..." 🤦​

Poland: is this The Ring?

Okay now Serbia is definitely giving what I came here for

Another ballad... okay if we leave now we can get to the car early and beat the rush home

(okay so it got a little peppier but weird cowboy vibe)

Eurovision faves (I don't get any votes)

For me it's:

Ukraine
Moldova
Serbia
Norway
France

Alessandro Cattelan finally had an outfit change for the green screen?

Oh, I see: Mika is Derek Zoolander

I hope Mika gives us Blue Steel

okay, the more I see replays of Sweden's entry the more I feel I have been unfair, that was pretty good

Trying not to say much more about the results but uh wtf is happening

Courtney Act announcing the points for Australia and the Drag Race connection is complete

Eurovision results

Whew, I guess the public likes the beer fest dads from Moldova

Eurovision results

Oh shit boys really do cry

EUROVISION

LET'S GO SERBIA

Eurovision results

Holy shit I didn't even know there were that many points left to give for Ukraine

Eurovision holy crap

Woo! Congrats Ukraine! Holy crap 🇺🇦

Someday, when it doesn't feel like there's a plague on, we've talked about wanting to have like a) a Super-Bowl-style party for Eurovision and b) friends who'd come over for it

@suetanvil@mastodon.technology Oh yeah, snacks, dinner, drinks, the works
