I'm Waiting This For A Long Time, Dude.

Eurovision related dreams I've had

Kristian Kostov came back in 2018 and won.

Alexander Rybak told Alekseev he was his long lost dad and Mikolas Josef was watching in the background.

Benjamin Ingrosso Tweeted that he didn't get the hype about Arcade and the fandom went crazy on him.

I was wearing a shirt that said "I Can't Go On" in support of Robin Bengtsson's Eurovision entry.

I was travelling with Benjamin Ingrosso, my cat, and a couple of my irl friends to Germany.

My dad said Bilal Hassani would win Eurovision and he won.

I’ve been so busy lately, I completely forgot about the Russian spacewalk today. Gennady Padalka and Yuri Malenchenko are outside today moving the Strela crane from the Russian Pirs module to the Zarya module, launching a satellite and installing meteoroid debris shields. They’re in the process of launching the satellite. You can watch here.
