Story 1: CNN: Monsters of pop take Eurovision title
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — There’s a giant stadium, highly toned participants, intense rivalry and flag-waving fans from many nations.
It’s not the Olympics: It’s the Eurovision Song Contest, the annual kitsch extravaganza, known for its bland dance music and bubble-gum pop, that sees acts from 24 […]
Note: This was written while voting for Eurovision was in progress, and the follow-up, so it may seem to be a bit disjointed.
This year I decided against traveling anywhere to watch Eurovision with a group. Leipzig is starting its Gay Pride Week (err… Christopher Street Days) with a Eurovision Party, but I couldn’t work […]
I recently was excited to share the news about Masturbation Month with a friend.

I am happy to report that RealMT and I are both alive in the Netherlands. We had an excellent time in Prague and then, catching an early flight, flew to Amsterdam Saturday morning.
Today we were forced, due to a lack of luggage storage lockers at the Amsterdam […]
One thing that is inexpensive in Prague is food—assuming you are not in the tourist areas.
By the time we got to our pension’s front door, MT had been awake for well over 30 hours and was in no real condition to go too far—we ended up eating at La Rustica (Donská 11; 101 00 […]
I could, I suppose, spend a great deal of time describing how MT and I traveled from Weimar to Prague. However, I’ve taken the trip three or four times and MT has taken it once: I shall leave it to MT to describe the way. It an ICE, connecting in Dresden to an EC, no […]
She’s in the shower, getting cleaned up, and then we’ll be off for a brief walking tour of Weimar before catching the afternoon train to Prague. We’ll be in Prague until Saturday when we’re off to Amsterdam and Rotterdam. She flies home Tuesday afternoon, while I take the train back to Weimar.
I might blog […]
