:hearts Devin Grayson:

Well, after cursing bittorrent, this morning I finally got my Nightwing issues downloaded, and am currently reading the Babs/Dick breakup storyline. And fuck, Devin's evil. We got Tarantula spying on Dick and Babs after a failed assassination attempt, then reporting back to Blockbuster. And I quote :

'Lemme tell you something about boys and girls, Mr. Desmond.
You kill her, it only makes him mad, then she's perfect, you know? Forever. Frozen in her memory where she can do him no wrong, giving him strength, a sense of direction...
No, you want a woman to hurt a man, you need her alive to do it. I arranged something much better than her death.
I made her dump him.'

And with that? You understand just how evil Devin is. Well, along with her complete and systematic destruction of Dick's life. Though she really, really better give Dick his job back in the Bludhaven PD. Because it's damn cute to see him in a job he just loves so much. Especially with Amy and Gannon and the rest of the supporting crew...

...My dad has been seen in shorts. So was the postie. Guess the hot weather's definitely arrived.

Eurovision

I am very giggly, and have spent the last hour or so alternately groaning at the political voting and giggling at Terry Wogan's commentary. All those Europeans not in the UK, do your commentators do this?

Ukraine with their Xena Warrior Princess won this year - and yes, I voted for them. :g:

This year's fashion statement was 'being a bloke' and 'white suit jackets, if not full white suits'. Also eighties ballad/crooning style. As usual, the ones that were actually songs that would sell in the charts got very few votes.

Special mentions go to :

The general Turkish presentation, with Turkish Riverdance (Terry mentioned that Riverdance should sue...), whirling Dervishes and sparkly harem boys.
Greece, who did the Bucks Fizz moment this year - white suits whipped off to reveal silver bikinis.
The French dancer on stilts.
Spain, please stop flirting with your drummer.
Serbia Montenegro, who got obscene amounts of political votes for an okay song (as Terry said, the Mongolian nose flute won them the points)
Netherlands and their absurdly cute curly boys.
Germany's jazz session singer who was really good.
Norway's godawful late eighties Cliff Richard.
Ireland and their Boyzone lookalike-soundalike written by one of the Boyzone members entry.
Turkey - pretty good Ska song.
Bosnia Herzegovnia, with their 'I am the reincarnation of Jimmy Somerville but cuter and moonlight on US QAF' singer.
Russia for a very decent early Christina soundalike-Avril lookalike with dancer in neon combat trousers.
Poland and Romania, whose girls forgot to get dressed and raided Anne Summers.
UK who was frankly shite and had Donny Osmond teeth that didn't move.

:deep breath: I thankyou. goodnight. and I've scarred lazlet by making her turn on the tv and watch the recap. My work here is done. :g:

I'm waiting for next year as being the year the Irish trip themselves up again by putting a drop-dead-gorgeous girl witha stunning voice, stunning gown and stunning song on and accidentally win it, while their tv stations curse them.
