Watched the Eurovision song contest via Discord stream for the second year in a row, though my desktop failed to play the stream properly and I ended up having to use my iPad. And honestly, I wasn't all that impressed by the songs in general. I liked some of them, particularly Austria, Australia, and Moldova, but there was nothing to win my love the way plenty of past Eurovision songs have done now. I went in thinking of voting, now that we all can, but it definitely was not worth paying anything to vote for anything I heard today. The Swedish song was one of the better ones, and as good as any for the win, really, and we should probably all be very glad Israel didn't win, because then the contest would've been in real trouble next year. (Also, their song got way more support than it deserved.) Now I'm observing other people be furious at the result and am mostly just feeling confused by that.
I also heard complaints about the hosting, mostly that the British took too much attention to themselves and didn't give Ukraine enough. But at least we won't have that problem next year, and the Swedish are very good at hosting it.

I made a Keep Calm and Carry On imitation. It was fun. It involved learning how to download and install a font too(someone actually managed to create the font used in the original poster for computers), which is a surprisingly easy process. I'm tempted to make another one now that says "Keep Calm and Don't Touch Lola." Maybe after next week, if I'm still in the mood to do such things.
Have also been reading my way through ten comics I pretty much selected at random out of 10 for 3$ bins last weekend, when my local place was offering them as part of Free Comic Book Day, although I kept to titles I was more familiar with and skipped over those whose condition were clearly going. So far I've read through 4 of them, of which the X-Men Evolution-based one-shot(Vol 1, No. 5) was probably the best, but one of them turned out to be a guide to all things Hulk, and it's taking me some time to get through that(I really like the character of the She-Hulk, though. I need to buy something that features her).
Today, however, was watching Eurovision, and the music quality actually seemed higher on average than it is most years. I wasn't too impressed with the song that won, but I understand why it won, and don't think it a horrible crime that it won the way at least one person on my Twitter feed did. My personal favorite was Spain's song, which I'll probably use for an Olympic ice dance montage someday, though it doesn't quite fit for the 2014 competition. 2018, maybe.
