Lazy Mondays

Mondays are not supposed to be lazy, of course, but when the SchIT changes your timetable at a moment's notice, you don't really have a choice. Luckily, the time off has driven me into a computer lab, where, having little else to do, I am able to carry out the rewarding task of reassuring my (2) readers that I am not dead.

The more astute among you will have noticed the passing of the Eurovision Song Contest, and the less social of us will have actually watched it. In a dazzling display of the predilection of modern song-contest watchers to like exactly what they're told to, Greece won, on the back of a song that sounded exactly like most of the others. Luckily, the contest has no meaning at all, beyond the enjoyment of watching a bunch of crazy Europeans caper around a stage in weird/interesting/rather smashing costumes, singing with various degrees of skill.

Hold the phones, I've just received terrible news. It seems the Spice Girls are thinking of getting back together. Yes, the original "girl power" group are considering throwing themselves back onto the world stage, to once again torment our ears with horrifically boppy, inane songs that, you guessed it, sound exactly like all the other boppy inane songs already on the radio. Not only that, but they think people will pay them millions of dollars for it. The worst thing is, they're probably right.
