Climb this mountain

I wanna make a Grand Prix entry, too! :D

But first things first: Yesterday was the first time I was not annoyed with the Deutsche Bahn. :D But it was a very temporary thing so you can expect some DB hate in the future... ;D
Want to know the reason? Because some tracks get rebuilt (or something) between Kassel and Hannover, the trains have to take a detour, and Sunday it was one right after Kassel, over Hann. Münden. And it was so pretty! I just love the central German landscape! With the beautiful woods and the hills and all those river valleys and the villages strewn in the valleys or nestled against the slopes of the hills full with trees. ♥ It just feels so much like home, in Berlin I often miss that. :) Normally the you don't get to see anything between Kassel and Göttingen, only boring tunnels... But yesterday? Yeay, awesomity! It may have taken half an hour longer than the regular trains, but it was so worth it. ♥

Okay, so now my Grand Prix post:

Yay! Germany won! xD It's not like I thought I'd never live to see that, but I sure thought we had to wait some more decades... ;) So, that's good!

And of course, it has to be in Berlin, eh? :D Because let's face it, why would it be in Cologne which had no connection other than Raab to the Grand Prix? Or Hannover which, yeah, might have had the EXPO and is nice enough, but where everyone from Europe will think "what? why?!"? Also this would just be because Lena is from Hannover and that's just weird. It wouldn't have been in Kassel either if "Dursti" would have participated and won. And Hamburg? I know people say "That's where the Grand Prix parties always are!", but how can that be an argument? Of course they're there, it's the NDR's responsibility after all. And yeah, Berlin didn't have big public viewing, but who should have paid for it? The RBB? Don't think so either. Also, come on, Berlin is cool. ;) I mean, I moved here out of good reasons and I just like what the city stands for. So much symbolism. ♥

He, I find it a pretty terrible idea that Lena is to compete again next year. Nobody would really want it, except Raab. There would be no hype just the old feeling of being ignored by the public channels who grab all the money they can get and then don't even include the payers into anything. I know I would hate it was she to compete again.

So, wanna have something to celebrate what isn't the fact that Germany won? How about the fact that Germany will host it? That's way better anyway! And to celebrate that I thought I could bring you my three favourite Grand Prix clips. :)

( France Gall - Poupée de cire, poupée de son - Luxembourg (1965), 1st place )

I know it's old, but still so awesome. :) It's just so uptempo and happy and the orchestra is wonderful.

( Zdob şi Zdub - Boonika bate toba - Moldova (2005), 6th place )

It's just so... catchy and I just like it so much. I always wanna jump up and dance like a spaz everytime I hear it. :)

( Athena - For Real - Turkey (2004), 4th place )

Again a song that just makes me wanna DANCE! :D


So what's your favourite Grand Prix song? :)

Ich hasse Sie. Aus den tiefsten Gründen meiner Seele und jetzt noch viel mehr als damals, als Sie das Schöne-Wochenende-Ticket auf nur einen Tag gekürzt haben. Ja, ich habe auch nicht gedacht, dass das möglich ist, aber Sie haben mich mal wieder überrascht!

Nun habe ich erfahren, dass Ihr Hessenticket wochentags erst ab neun Uhr gilt und ich bin, gelinde gesagt, angepisst. Es ist ja überhaupt schon ganz großer Betrug, dass das Drecksding nicht einfach 24 Stunden gilt, aber jetzt auch noch das, Sie haben sich mal wieder übertroffen!

Ich persönlich denke jetzt ernsthaft darüber nach, einfach mit dem Auto nach Frankfurt/Darmstadt zu fahren und auf Sie zu scheißen.

Hochachtungsvoll

Btw, ich war am Mittwoch auf einer Lesung von Oliver Uschmann (die "Hartmut und ich"-Reihe) und es war ganz genial und lustig und wunderbar. Wir saßen in der ersten Reihe und mann, was hab ich gelacht! :D
Also, eine Lesung von Herrn Uschman (oder Oli, wie er unterschreibt (das Buch, mit total netter Widmung!)) kann ich jedem nur empfehlen. Seine Bücher auch, auch wenn sie teilweise etwas abgefahren sind. xD Aber sehr lustig. xD
