Watch This! Eurovision!

[dreiser]

Is taking place May 20th, 22nd, with the finals airing on May 24th. You can watch all of it streaming live thanks to Octoshape. The semi-finals and finals will air at 2 pm central standard time in the United States. For those of you who have jobs or non-Eurovision obsessed lives and can't watch it live you can visit the Eurovision official website where they'll have links to the previously aired semi-finals and finals. Most everyone will have to download the Octoshape plugin to watch it though. But no big deal because... hello! The quality that is Eurovision is so worth downloading one puny plugin.

I'm so fucking nerdy excited. I cannot wait for this Saturday and the viewing party.

For those of you who have Macs, it's more complicated to watch Eurovision streaming live. You have to go into your Octoshape settings and set them to the default player. Then you must have Windows Media Player 9.0 for Mac. When you click on the Eurovision link it will open up another web browser and start downloading the video file. Just copy and paste the url on the web browser that appeared for the web browser then go into Windows Media Player File - Open URL and paste the url in there and viola! You have Eurovision.

I know, I know, it seems like a pain in the ass but trust me it's so worth it.

Uhm... that's for people not in the United States. A lot of my friends list are not so sad little Americans like myself. Hence the interwebs being very useful to us. lol.
