I thought the live version was best. I hadn't heard the song at all before the final and was basically just waiting for the results to be presented. Then came Lena's performance at the end and I fell for it immediately.

Wow. Even I didn't know it to be true

Grey_Wolf · 05-31-2010, 12:32 PM

LOL

good version of the scene, eh?

Acalewia · 05-31-2010, 03:32 PM

I just read that to my husband and we are both laughing hystericly. You can come up with some of the funniest stuff, Doc. My sides are hurting from laughing so hard.

Glad to know that Hector is really Darth Hector and Jonathon is Jonathon Skywalker.

Thanks, Acally.

***Jonathan*** · 05-31-2010, 04:41 PM

Yeah, glad I got to be the good guy in this

Too bad about my hand though.

Tax report with 15 minutes to spare again.

40 minutes before the deadline I came across something I didn't know how to fill in (electronically) and tried a few times before I got on the right track.

20 minutes before the deadline I thought everything was fine and pressed the button to check the form and submit it - then I got an error message "there is a description missing in post number so and so" - then my first attempt at a description was refused and the error message still there ...

But the second one was accepted, and then the whole report.
Ahhhhhhh ....

Hehe, typically one of those things

Noble Elf Lord · 06-01-2010, 04:16 AM

Eeekk! I'm freaking! Exams tomorrow! Wish me luck... o_O Well, not that freaky, at least I don't let it show - so I have to panic here.

***Varnafindë*** · 06-01-2010, 06:40 AM

A very good place to panic anonymously

**Mari** · 06-01-2010, 07:41 AM

Only too true!

Good luck, Noble!

Still, Sieneke tried her best and has a nice voice.

Yeah, I had heard there was a lot of controversy around the choice of the song in the Netherlands. It was a brave choice all things considered, not many countries dare to sing in their native language for the entire song these days. And the organ and melody were very typically Dutch, it just was a bit 50 years too late to enter the contest. Sieneke had a nice voice, though, and she certainly gave it her best.

Sounds like fun!

Speaking of blood, shots, etc., (had to connect it somehow) am I crazy or does anyone else hate the smell and feel of hospitals? Do they not look like prisons?
And most of the nurses seem to be just waiting for you to die so they can put someone else in your bed....

Gwaimir Windgem · 06-02-2010, 03:03 PM

They're so sterile; of course, it's necessary to have sterile facilities for the care of the sick and wounded, but it makes me feel stifled.

katya · 06-02-2010, 03:17 PM

I actually really like hospitals. I love the smell and the feeling of being there, and I love the cupboards and all the alcohol patches and needles and stethoscopes and the lights they shine in your ears and the fancy thermometers, and I like wearing hospital gowns.

On the other hand, my least favorite place in the world is the dentist office.

Gwaimir Windgem · 06-02-2010, 03:55 PM

That seems outrageously inconsistent to me.

**Mari** · 06-02-2010, 04:23 PM

I don't mind hospitals, but then, I've never really been a patient in one. Though I do have to go there regularly to have my thyroid checked out.

Well, I sent out 2 more job applications. Wish me luck guys, I certainly can use it! >_<
