Leisha's Random Thoughts & Ponderings: Not that it matters ...
http://leishacamden.blogspot.com/2008/10/not-that-it-matters.html
Leisha's Random Thoughts and Ponderings. Saturday, October 4, 2008. Not that it matters . This is a story from the Norwegian newspaper VG. The biggest newspaper in the country, from today's edition. Not that these things matter in today's dog-eat-dog world, but I found it quite touching, and I want to share. I'll be cross-posting this to the BookCrossing forum, since I'm sure there are some members there who will appreciate reading it. Mary lacked money to fly home to Norway – he saved her love. At the a...

Leisha's Random Thoughts & Ponderings: Melodi Grand Prix 2015
http://leishacamden.blogspot.com/2015/03/melodi-grand-prix-2015.html
Leisha's Random Thoughts and Ponderings. Saturday, March 14, 2015. Melodi Grand Prix 2015. Our time has come ! We will be selecting our entry for Vienna tonight and of course I am live blogging it. Oh, the excitement ! First of all I have to say that it's SO annoying that they're calling it the "MGP final". There hasn't been any quarter or semi finals so how is there any final? Try to think a little, NRK. A few comments on this year's lineup here in Norway: it's not very good. We will definitely not ...

Leisha's Random Thoughts & Ponderings: March 2014
http://leishacamden.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Leisha's Random Thoughts and Ponderings. Saturday, March 15, 2014. ESC 2014 - the Norwegian final. Just so it's said: I don't like the format this year, and I don't think they've made a great choice in hosts either. Solbakken is OK, but Skavlan is no good . and she seems to be dragging Solbakken down to her level. Without the so-called expert panel we were forced to endure in the semis, though, this is at least somewhat better. And I quite like the Mammon. Entry #1: Ain't No Love (In This City No More).

Leisha's Random Thoughts & Ponderings: Vienna 2015 - second semi-final
http://leishacamden.blogspot.com/2015/05/vienna-2015-second-semi-final.html
Leisha's Random Thoughts and Ponderings. Thursday, May 21, 2015. Vienna 2015 - second semi-final. Now this is the exciting semi ! Not because we're in it :-) but because the entries tonight are much stronger. Almost all my favorites are in this semi. And yay, I can vote for them! I hope it's not just because there are lots of Norwegians in the audience. :-) And quite a big cheer for Israel too, yay. I forgot to mention this on Tuesday but I think the stage looks great. A pretty big cheer for Sweden too.
