Weird dreams, pre-competition before Eurovision... and well, music...

[kseenaa]

You know when waking up hearing this song in your head for some obscure reason and having the G's on your head... You just know the day is gonna be good... and weird...

I actually managed to sleep this entire night! Almost... Lately I've had troubles waking up several times a night because I haven't been able to breath proparely... because my nose has been so fucking stuffed... Well, tonight! That was not a problem! WOOT! My troath is still not OK, but man... Today it has been so, SO much better! If this keeps up, I'll definitly try and get my swedish reading for you guys done tomorrow! I hope... No promises. :-D Ha ha ha!

peting73 has also proved how really gawd damn awesome he is... We have finally started to actually do some use in the room we are redoing... And not only throwing stuff away (necessary to, of course... but still...). And he has done HUGE progress today, OMG! o.O So tomorrow we are ordering wallpapers. It'll still take a long time (a week or two more), but now we actually can see the end of it. And then.... THEN! We can decorate it. Oh, man I have plans... :-D I have only discovered one problem in my plan... I don't know where to put my Xena huge paper-doll that chigrima and spicehobbit dragged home from London to me! And I have no idea where to put my action dolls either... Poor Blues Brothers Jake and Elwood... and the many Xenas... and Aragorn... and Autolycus... and Velasca... I'll try to find a good place for you... Somehow... Tyldak, the dear flying elf I think I have to throw away. He is literary falling to pieces the poor elf. :-/

Anyway, been working today at the big city library and it was busy as HECK! o.O My gawd... OK, so it is Saturday, but seriously? Really? I only worked from 11am to 4pm and it was a constant string of people asking questions, quees forming... I didn't get to take lunch until 2:30pm... Man, was I beat then. It didn't calm down until the last 30mins, so you can say it was slightly insane today at the library.

And today it was the regular pre-competition to the big Eurovision Song Contest. I mean, we gotta pick the best we can find of swedish music, right? Ehr... Well.

My favorites were these two songs. Pretty good, and a bit different from what the songs Sweden usually sends to that competition:

Fun, quite OK to listen to... Not to silly. They kinda work, you know?

And then the scores started to come in. And both me and peting73 made some SERIOUS head-desks here, because honestly? The song that won SUCKS! It sounds EXACTLY like all the others Sweden has sent to the Eurovision Song Contest... only worse. And we've ended up further and further down in the scores. :-( *points downwards*

Where the fuck is ABBA and Waterloo when you need them? :-/

Baby Doll and Mystery were good. I especially loved the drums in Mystery. The song that won sounds like all the other Eurovision songs. :/ At least she has a nice voice?

I always like the unique songs. The one that Russia has decided on is cute, it's a fold song sung by a group of grandmas. It made me smile. I watch the neat unique ones. The one that won for Sweden... *sigh*

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that is pretty much my opinion to. Both me and peting73 head-desked so, so hard on here when we heard how the scores went. :-P If Baby Doll or Mystery had won, I think Sweden might have stood a little chance at least, you know?

And now I have to find Russias song... *goes on hunt*

*finds*

OMG! o.O Those little old grandma's were just MADE of cute! I think we have a winner...

[melluransa.livejournal.com]

Aren't they just adorable! :3

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Oh, they were indeed! :-D VERY cute!

[rule-number-7.livejournal.com]

I love that song. Didn't know you were into country music too! Unless you aren't and just heard this song at some point lol

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Oh, I am not into country-music very much. :-) I love all kinds of music, to be sure, but.... not so much country. Safe a horse... I heard one day and I just stopped and went; wait what...? Did they just sing what I THINK they sang? And then I was hooked on said song. *lol*

[rule-number-7.livejournal.com]

YOU PERV ;)

Save a drum, bang a drummer? xD

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

*LOL* X-D OF COURSE I AM! And so is my hubby. I played said song to him without saying what it was, and he had pretty much the same reaction... *wicked grin*

And I'd so be working hard to save all the drums, seriously... *smirk*

Ughh that is so disappointing! I really liked the first two also. No accounting for taste, though, the taste that you and I have isn't necessarily popular ;).

Huge Xena paper doll?! I'm so jealous!

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

I KNOW! Especially Baby Doll by Top Cats. It is just such a happy fun song, you know? And being a bit different is always good when competing in Eurovision. Do I have to mention when Finland won? They haven't exactly won many times, if I put it that way. But they won 2006 to everyones shock. With this song:



Being different and not classic eurovision-music? Is of the good! But apparently that didn't work out for us this year. I'll keep my fingers crossed for next year. :-P

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Oh, and that Xena paperdoll? chigrima and spicehobbit found that when they were on a trip to London. And they had apparently just taken one look at it and decided they had to buy it and drag it home to Sweden to me. Considering both had very tiny suitcases, it was just the two of them and the paperdoll is life-sized... it was apparently an adventure to get it all the way here on taxis and on the plane and on buses and I don't even know what... X-D But according to both it had been worth it when they surprised me with it! :-D

[ruchirahni.livejournal.com]

and so jealous of that xena doll.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Well, it sure was a surprise that they managed to drag it home here for me. A lovely surprise and I'll always be grateful to them for it. :-)

Tyldak

[erika westberg (from livejournal.com)]

If you haven't thrown him away yet, I'll grab that Tyldak-statuette in a heartbeat. Come on, it's Tyldak! It's not like one will be able to get another one like that without some hefty research.

I do think you should keep him though.

I KNOW! I've been thinking about throwing him away plenty times, because he is seriously broken. If he hadn't been broken, well... It would have been another matter entirely. :-P
