It is that magical time

[xp_bevatron]

And if you are not already here at our suite, I am drinking your share of the wine.

It is Eurovision.

For those of you making your first attendance, the answer to any question today is "Because it is Eurovision." Some helpful examples:

"This song features a trapeze. Why?" "Because it is Eurovision."
"Why are the Polish group churning butter on stage?" "Because it is Eurovision."
"Dubstep, an Armenian vampire in a Star Trek uniform, and more pyrotechnics than is strictly advisable?" "Because it is Eurovision."

I have decided that for the duration of Eurovision that I just cannot be French because I just cannot wish for that song to win.

I am afraid that it will become a pop hit and I will be forced to hear it sung off-key at kareoke.

Is this "Rise Up" song alluding to revolution or the male anatomy? I cannot decide.

This is a thing we're doing? Commenting on Eurovision on the Internet while we're all at the same party?

In that case, I dated a guy who looks like that French guy.

Live commentary for the benefit of those who were unable to attend, naturally.

This year, the French clearly decided they did not desire to win, so they took a truly enormous amount of LSD and contemplated their facial hair for several days before writing this song.

That is my theory, in any event.

I was very worried that you were going to get a preview of the French song and decide to grow a mustache in solidarity.

[x-bevatron.livejournal.com]

Mais non. I look terrible with facial hair.

...how is this the first de-cape-ing of the competition? I am entirely disappointed.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

oh good because I would not want to have to volunteer to assist Angelo in sitting upon you to force you to remove it.

I have not watched this before but I feel like Slovenia's dress is on point right now.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

I think maybe I want that dress but I am not certain.

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

Do it.

...where do you wear that if you're not a character in Frozen?

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Parties. Or the office, because really if I cannot wear fancy dresses to an office full of spies where can I?

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

...spies?

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

It is an open secret.

Can you covert op some more wine into my glass?

Wait why am I not having this conversation in person

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

I can always covert op more wine. I was doing that long before I was a spy.

also long before I was legal to drink in this country

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

Yeah, okay, seriously though, get that dress.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Why not both?

[x-bevatron.livejournal.com]

Entirely valid.

And now, a see-saw. Because it is Eurovision.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

That is a sequined ascot.

[x-bevatron.livejournal.com]

Of course. My question is, of course, why is Switzerland's fiddle not sequined?

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Why are there TWO songs that are just like Mumford and Sons?

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

What is this Mumfordian nonsense?!

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

He meant it about the wine. And somehow he doesn't even have a hangover.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

Eurovision parties are always the best parties.

Did someone say....magic?
