Okay so basically, the first semifinal just got wrapped up like a bit over an hour ago and the… results are surprising, to say the least.

First of all…

• Albania
• Armenia
• Russia
• Romania
• Hungary
• Greece
• Estonia
• Georgia
• Serbia
• Belgium

While I found it… surprising (not) to see all these Eastern countries go through, what screwed me over the most was Belgium. Like, I rarely hate on Eurovision Songs, but seriously, I can’t stand this one. And to see them win, over DENMARK AND FINLAND WHO HAD REALLY GOOD SONGS, made me fucking boil.

My personal favorite from this round was Moldova though. As most of you know, Moldova is my baby, and regardless of song, I always root for them, but this time around I really DID Like their song and I had hoped for them to qualify, but of course not. Sad indeed.

Let’s see what Thursday brings us.

Started off my day with some re-decorations of my room. Seriously, when I get into something, I really GET INTO IT. Like, I can’t freaking stop. Not even if my life depended on it.

Later I met up with my classmate and dear friend Anna, and we spent a good almost five hours walking around all over the place here at home talking about everything. About music, work, studiotime, school, future plans, further educations, life, concerts… it’s good to meet up with a fellow peer of yours who’s been at the same where you are. She’s technically in the music producers class, but still. It was amazing catching up, even though the weather is fucking freezing.

With all that being said, I’m gonna make myself a cup of tea and then read a book, for the first time in forever.

Been a calm day. Spent most of re-arranging things in my room, such as getting rid of a scanner that’s been underneath my computer desk for about 12 years or so. I’m not even sure it works, which is why I put it away. By taking it away I could instead store some of my magazine there, which allowed room to store even more magazine and folder underneath the computer desk, WHICH, created one whole shelf that’s completely empty, and a place to put away some Disney movies, making another shelf empty.

Wow, quite productive. And it’s interesting to see, how small changes can become so big. I’m not even sure anymore what to do with all this space. I guess it will all be filled up once I properly start cleaning this room. But on a side note, I have at least found out where the heck I can store CD’s once the Blue Shelf becomes full, and that’s always a start, right? Because it will be. Very.. Very… Soon.

You know what else is very soon?

Sweden Rock.

Hell yeah baby.

So, for the first time since the tour I actually took myself the time to “unpack” all the merchandise I bought during the last tour. Obviously, they were unpacked from the suitcase, but I had put them in another bag, mostly because I didn’t know what to do with it all. And oh my god.

So what is it even we see here. Two “magazines” -> Studiodiary for To Beast, and illustrated lyrics for Scare Force One. Pristmatic tour programme. A Lordi poster where I accidently excluded OX… Katy Perry pins, glasses, Tshirt…. And shirts with The Lounge Kittens, two Hollywood Groupies tees, two Lordi (House of Ghost + Tour shirt) one Dirty Passion and Amaranthe tourshirt.

And after I took this shot, I realized I left out all the CD’s I got – Hollywood Groupies’, Dirty Passion’s, Kittens’, Engel’s…. It’s fun… No it’s not. It’s not fun at all to think about how much money you spend on these kind of things, and despite you being aware of this… you still do it!

Oh, what don’t we do for our bands…

This day has gone so fucking well it isn’t even fun. Met up with Anna earlier today after so many months apart, and it was a rather inspiring meeting. We walked around downtown and talked and planned and even got some things in mind.

After this I’ve done nothing but spending the day at home, occasionally cleaning, doing laundry, doing some writing and listened to a LOT of music. Been sitting outside in the sun a lot. Ahhh, I love the summerweather.

Seriously, this day has gone SO SMOOTHLY, that I’m sure something REALLY bad will happen at work tonight. I guess we will see.

But for now: Lordi – Monsterman on the television!

Before I left Örebro for this time yesterday, I met up with an old co worker of mine. It’s been some time since I’ve seen her, so it was nice to see her again and catch up with everything.

Once I got home, a lot of things happened. First of all, I managed to try on my new clothes from Nelly. Perfect fit!

And second of all…

I GOT MY GRASPOP TICKET! So things are actually starting to happen now! I’m finally getting shit together for this summer. Now I only need to book for Marilyn Manson, Ace Frehley and Billy Idol, and JUNE WILL BE SET! It’s so fucking awesome, I can’t even tell you. And soon enough we will start setting for July and August as well.

Of course, my wallet bleeds. Like a lot. But what can you do? MUSIC IS LIFE. This summer is going to be great.

BY THE WAY! THIS IS MY 1000th POST ON THIS BLOG! YAY ME!
