eurovision party (for everybody) 2012

last saturday, megan and i hosted a eurovision party!

we projected the livestream onto the wall at the wsac and ate snacks and read along to printed out lyrics and waved country flags glued to chopsticks and laughed a lot!


we were so silly for the entire day and it ended up being really, really fun.

while i was sort of sad that neither jedward nor the russian grannies took the top spot (and that portugal didn't even make it to the finals), i was pretty pleased that sweden ended up being the winner in the end.


it's no secret that i do love a good euro-dance club-banger.


see you next year in sweden, eurovision!

goals

wow - i really suck at updating! i don't even know why - i'm always thinking about stuff, i just never sit down and write about it. bleh.

i feel really all over the place lately and i'm trying to pull everything together into some sort of well-working system. so far, it's...um... not working. but! i've got some half-baked BIG goals that i'm flirting with, and so that's pretty exciting.

GOALS 2K12 (varying degrees of possible-ness)
  • the color run (already signed up)
  • the jimmy fund walk
  • host a eurovision party
  • visit friends in nyc (overdue)
  • host a fashion documentary viewing night
  • take a calligraphy class here http://www.theabbeystudio.com/
  • and maybe one here http://www.calligraphyboston.com/
  • expand the margravine line
  • new stationery project?
  • do a craft fair in a faraway land (oh my god $$$)
  • conquer the C25K program (i'm two workouts in! TWELVE workouts in!! [1 june 2012])
  • save money AKA stop spending money
  • move (probably 2K13)
  • not be a spinster (ugh)
  • do more personal art
  • eat out on at least 3 boston patios during the summer
  • figure out what to do with my hair
  • find some new music
i keep struggling between keeping goals/things to myself so that they are an awesome surprise accomplishment when i've completed them, and blabbing about everything so that i feel held accountable to complete them. it's a weird line to walk.

anyway, that list is in no way complete, but it feels good to write those things down. onward!
