Last night we watched the semi finals of the Eurovision Song Contest.  Eurovision has been around for 65 years and is hugely popular even if most people in the US have never heard of it.  It's an International Song Competition and has actually produced some famous acts.  ABBA won back in the '70's.  It's wonderfully kitsch and over-the-top.  (In fact think of ABBA's outfits) The winners aren't necessarily the most talented but often the most outrageous.  3 years ago the winner was an Austrian named Concita, a bearded transvestite.  I am royally p**ed off by last night's results!  The best performance of the evening was a beautiful singer from Switzerland with a huge voice, singing an upbeat pop/rock song.  She was great.  10 acts were chosen to compete in the final on Saturday night.  Did she make it through?  Hell no!  But the obese guy from Croatia that turned to his right and sang in an operatic tenor voice, then turned to his left and sang like a castrated Justin Beber did.  AND the couple from Romania who sang a yodeling rap.  Yup.  She yodeled, he rapped.  The hunk from Israel who looked and danced like a stripper got through, cheered on by the majority gay male audience.  Oh, and the band from Norway with the so-so lead singer and the black shrouded musicians all wearing masks that were a cross between Darth Vader and The Death Eaters from Harry Potter.  THEY got through.  But the lovely, talented normal girl from Switzerland?  Noooooooooooo!  It ate at me all day.  I need a hobby..... 

Tomorrow is International Day at school.  The only day I willing go on a Saturday.  All the nationalities at the school are represented by a stand with yummy foods!  The US is shameful.  Really bad grilled hamburgers and hotdogs.  It's the kids favorite stand.  I go for the Indian and South American cuisine.  Yum!

Watching Trump threaten the ex FBI chief via tweet.  Classy.  This guy is an ignorant thug.
