I actually liked two artists at the Eurovision Song Contest - I’d never heard of Amandine Bourgeois, and obviously already knew Anouk. Maybe one day the winning song will be tolerable! Yay!

“How long will this [breast cancer] arc be?”, they asked.
“The whole season”, I weeped.

Sure, his television makes me cry.. but now this speech too? Goodness.

Love it. But I think I’d like a behind-the-scenes picture for this one..

Hey guys, I’m not going to do this often, but I really want to promote something today. And it’s my birthday, so I hope that’s a valid excuse.
This is the FairPhone. FairPhone is a Dutch foundation that’s trying very hard to produce a smartphone that is more ethically and environmentally sustainable than all the regular smartphones. They’re doing a good job so far and the first phones are expected this fall. But they need enough buyers to make it happen. I really believe in this project and will definitely get one (pre-orders start soon), and they asked to spread the word. So there you go. :) Check out their website right here for more information.
FairPhone will announce the full list of specifications next week, but here’s what they’ve already revealed: it will cost €325 (not sure how it’s going to be if you live somewhere far away from the Netherlands), it will use the newest Android OS (Jelly Bean), features dual-SIM capability and a 4.3 inch screen.
There are a few fan forums that I just read, not really interact, and combined with the ones that I have posted on, I’ve noticed on there they all have something in common that I find somewhat weird. Every now and then, something will pop up about the person that the forum is about. For example paparazzi photos. Leaked songs. Leaked videos. Personal stuff. Something that person wouldn’t want to be out there. What do the fans do? They all say that they shouldn’t look at it, they should respect the celeb. But then they’ll ask for a PM (private message) to get a link to see the paparazzi photos, or to get a download link to the song. So they keep it off the forum, but will still see it nonetheless. It amuses me.
