Talkie Tuesday: Eurovision

"You're stuck on me like a tattoo."

Hello everyone!

And welcome to a very short little fluff piece about the previous week when we once again saw the biggest European music competition come and go.

Seeing as it's a yearly event (that only got cancelled once in 2020 for obvious reasons), it's not like it was a one and done or anything, but each year usually brings something with it we haven't seen before.

I can't decide what this was during this current year besides the very obvious, but we'll do our best.

I also managed to completely conk out right after the competition part of the show, so I missed the fun bits!

It's never about the competition so much as it is about the accompanying acts that come one, come all.

Considering it was hosted by one of the "Big Five", it makes sense that the spectacle was something to see.

So without further ado, let's have a quick look at this year's Eurovision.

Talkie Tuesday: Eurovision 2022

"The Sound of Beauty."

Hello everyone!

A slight departure from my usual blog posts but, I couldn't not at least have a very quick little entry with regards to this weekend's competition.

One would think that we've done this before at some point or other but, it doesn't look it.

Well, there's a first time for everything!

And in case you're wondering, yes, I actually almost always watch the grand final.

It's been a bit since I've watched the semi finals because generally speaking, that's just too many nights in a row for music that isn't as good as it could be (no offense but, it's the truth), so I settle in for the three-to-four hour extravaganza on a Saturday night instead!

Boy, was it one this year.

Was it worth the hype? I'm not entirely sure.

But Eurovision has come and gone, either way.

Talkie Tuesday: Selena, the Series

"If you're too busy thinking about where you're going,

you don't really have a chance to enjoy the ride."

Hello everyone!

I've been binge watching like mad these past few weeks.

I also somehow managed to do something to my stomach in between, or I contracted something from my dad who had a similar thing happen to him last week or so, which has made me miserable as all get-out for a day or so but it LOOKS like I'm on the mend, finally!

And what else are you going to do when you're feeling poorly but binge watch, I ask you?

It's just one of those things, though tonight's blog post has been finished much, much earlier.

See I've now discovered Netflix, and this is dangerous. LOL

After finishing up Bridgerton I moved on to the other show I really wanted to see (there's a few more on there but I'll be taking my time with those), so I switched easily and just went through it in about ... was it two or three days? Something like that.

But then I've always been a sucker for good music.

Selena, the Series has that in spades!

Talkie Tuesday: The Christmas Bow

"No matter what curve balls come at you - just keep swinging."

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the last Christmas movie review of the season!

Whew.

It's been a doozy this year given everything, but then again I suppose we're all feeling the effects of it being 2020, right?

I've seen so many memes floating about that it's hard to say who's had more fun with them, the year itself or the people who made them, but all of them are so relatable, and honestly I can't WAIT for 2021. It's got to be better than what we've had so far, right?

Fingers crossed.

But for the time being we're taking a look at one last Christmas-y movie before starting something else next week, and in honour of that I've chosen one that I truly enjoyed yesterday while watching.

The Christmas Bow knew exactly what it wanted from audiences, and delivered.
