That Sounds Mediocre to Me

I realise that I haven't yet given my opinion on the UK's eurovision entry. I can't say I'm overly impressed. The intro grabs your attention, but doesnt hold it past the first chorus. Its just lacking that punch. And its very dated - we're in the 10's now, not the 90's. But I read today that due to the huge amount of critism, they are going to revamp and tweek the song to try and improve it a bit. Is it too much to hope for a key change?

On The Mend

I've been feeling like I've been heading for a breakdown since saturday morning really. Been a bit of a train wreck. But today (well, just a few hours ago really) I turned a corner. I have done the washing up, I am planning to tidy my room shortly. I also regained some of my self-respect. And I helped out campaigning for my dear friend and ex-housemate Diana to be elected VP Welfare. Voting for the student union positions opened today, and so have been out in my red t-shirt giving out flyers to passers-by trying to get people to vote for her. And not just because she is my friend, but because I genuinely believe she would make a good VP Welfare. But thats made me feel good, to do something for a friend. I think I'm beginning to work my way out of my rut.

Anyway, because I'm helping Diana to campaign, it means I can't do my radio show for the next two weeks (conflict of interest, the radio station has to remain impartial). It will be weird to be listening at home without being there myself. But good luck to Rachel, I know it will be a great show :)

Warning

It appears I may have had a minor breakdown last night. Still not sure what caused it, but ended a bit messy. Got drunk, blew my diet, had a mini-disco in my room, and then had a number of embarrassing facebook status's. Still, hopefully its out of my system now. I think the stresses of final year are getting to me...

Eurovision - Your Decision!

As you may have read over on Rachel's blog, I am off to watch the recording of Eurovision Your Decision tomorrow night at the BBC studios! We will also be watching the pre-recording of the professional performances, which include the sugarbabes and Alexander Rybak!!! I know I'm not his biggest fan but its still quite cool. Another europop star to add to my 'seen live' list, which is actually quite substantial now :) Look out for me and Rach on the telly - I'll be wearing a white top with a black flower pattern and she'll (probably) be wearing her white top with pink zerba's :)

Weekly Weight Update

So, I know I forgot to do my weekly update last week, but that was mostly because I was too busy and because I put on a pound :( I deserved it that time, but it still didnt make me feel any better. Actually, I was feeling very down about the whole thing and just about ready to give up. But for some reason I got my mojo back on monday, and was good as gold. Also for other girly reasons I was hopeful for a weight loss this week despite a naughty weekend. And I was right! I lost 3.5lb, waaaay more than I expected (or deserved). But that cancels out the 3.5lb I put on in the last two weeks (most of which was undeserved also). So very happy :) I definitely have my mojo back, and am determined to lose another pound this week so that I can finally get that elusive 2.5 stone award!!! Fingers crossed!

iExhibition

No, it isn't anything to do with Apple. The i stands for international. The iExhibition is the main(ish) event of the iFestival at our university, which is a week long (2 week this year I think in fact) celebration of the diverse cultures represented by various clubs and societies here at the university. In the union building Rubix tonight there will be stalls from the different societies representing its country and providing info and free food :) This year there is even rumoured to be Meerkats and Snakes! How that relates, I'm not entirely sure, but I hope its so.

Anyway, this event has a special meaning for me and Rach as it is where we first took the decks two years ago to provide some euro beats for the evening. And we will be DJing live again tonight. One of the best things about doing the show is to be able to hear our favourite tracks through a decent sound system. Hearing it blaring out of the union speakers is even better! I can't wait :)

WW and ESC

I haven't posted on here in a while. Its been a crazy busy week, with me being out for one reason or another (not all fun, I can assure you). I put on weight again last week, and I went home for the weekend where I ate out all day saturday, so no doubt put on weight again this week. Ho hum. Off to gym with my friend for the first time in weeks on tuesday to see if I can get my mo-jo back.

On a happier note, I'm getting into eurovision again. I'm moving away from all the Scandi countries for a change. I'm looking forward to hearing what Estonia choose, and am pleased with some of the songs I've heard from Croatia, Slokavia and Bulgaria. In fact, I'm liking Croatia a lot, which is odd for me, since they've always been one of my most hated contestants. But this song is quite good. Just depends if they can pull off the vocals on the night...
