I had WAY too much fondue.
It was a wonderful time... great dinner, nice to be with some people I have known for ages, some I've known for a little while, and a few brand new ones. And the weather was cold, so it was the perfect night for a fondue. But I should have stopped a long time before I did.
I made it through most of the movie okay. How do you solve a problem like Maria, I am 16 going on 17, the puppet show, the drapes, wondering how old the baroness was... I was fine with all of that. But when the Nazis came into the picture, all that cheese started to get to me. I don't think I slept, but I did stretch out and rest my eyes a bit, which made the remainder of the movie even more pleasant. And, thanks to a kind friend on the way home, I had Christina Aguillera's "I Am Beautiful" to compete with "Do Re Mi" for the remainder of the night. How perfect!
Oh, and I had a friend ask this morning what costume I ended up going with. In the end, I choose the "guy who good-natured-ly mocks out Julie Andrews movies but is happy to be with friends and eating fondue". And it worked out well - I was able to stay in character all night.
Four sleeps until the Eurovision semi-finals!

Sounds like a good time. I always had a problem combining Nazi's with singing... they just don't seem to add up.
Anyways, I have to admit my North-American-ness here--what's Eurovision?
It's a competition of the worst pop music you'll ever here, decided by international telephone vote, and ridiculed by everyone who watches. It's wonderful. I wrote about it in another post, so if you just search on Eurovision in the search box at the top, you'll get the whole story...
Our song is awful this year - which is good - Vote Scooch!
Nothing more embarassing than an entry that takes it seriously, and these guys certainly don't do that..
I have to admit, when I first read your post I thought you were referring to Nazis as “cheese.” Then I realized you meant the fondue. Then I figured you were probably being witty and meant both at once, and so I salute you.
Sorry I couldn't join you guys, but a gut full of fondue didn't seem a good way to run a race.
Maybe next time...
A&E, do you know if it's being broadcast in English? Do the Swiss stations do it as bi-canal?
And Aaron, I will take full credit for being half as witty as you thought... I was all about the fondue, man.
And while I'm confessing, I hadn't finished much of AD when you sent me the email about missing the marathon, and I think I only got about 25% of the references you made. As I saw the rest, it made more sense, though.
