We had the most amazing weather today. I wore a T-shirt. The sun now sets around 11pm which is at 1am Swedish time where they cheat and have daylight saving in the summer. We ran into this view going home from the Eurovision party. And the song only ended up in second place. So it was a good night.

I'm going to a Eurovision party tonight. Icelanders are obsessed by Eurovision. The streets are emptier of people this yearly Saturday evening than during the worst snowstorm. It's the best time to go somewhere because there is no traffic what so ever. It's almost spooky. If you didn't know it was Eurovision you might come to think there had been some national disaster. The old Icelandic songs are played over and over. Icelanders will never forgive Charlotte Perelli for pushing them down to that dreadful second place in 1999. Some papers say we have the best song this year. Which is quiet scary cause we absolutely don't want to win this year. There were articles in the papers wanting us to skip taking part this year just because of that microscopical risk winning the whole thing. We've had enough of economical breakdown for now. Please don't vote for us whatever you do! We're all hoping some aluminium foil wrapped guy will come along and win.

They made me watch Eurovision when I arrived in Sweden. Here is the song that won. She is not very popular in Iceland after having pushed down the Icelanders to second place 1999 in the big final. Mum told me some people were so offended they deliberately cut off the Swede's heads in photographs they were asked to take. So if you were a tourist in Iceland in 1999 and got your head chopped off in a picture you now know it was all Charlotte's fault.
