verboten new year's eve.jpg
Natalija Verboten is number one on Slovenia’s first program.

According to a poll published by Delo yesterday, 77% of Slovenes said they would spend New Year’s Eve at home with their families. I was one of them. And like any good, red-blooded Slovene I sat and watched the first national program, where hostess Natalija Verboten rang in the new year wearing a dress made of (I think) a flock of emus. If you didn’t watch it, I’m not saying you’re necessarily a bad Slovene… I’m just saying you should be crucified.

In the meantime, Germany’s ZDF was broadcasting its own New Year’s Eve show featuring these familiar faces. It wasn’t by any means their first time on there, but still. A long time ago, I predicted they would do "extraordinarily well" but even I’m shocked by how right I was. Obviously, turbo-folk is the business to be in these days. That and fortune-telling.

I’d actually like to make some more predictions for 2006 (on the grounds that I’m "on a roll") but things are a bit busy, and most of you are probably too hungover to read, so I might as well cut things short. There might be a few more days of silence here, but I’ll return shortly.

Happy New Year.
