isunshoweritem a: the fifth elephant, the next installment in the city watch books. i liked it. plot twists came out of nowhere again (evil dwarf was transgender all along? okay...) but i enjoyed it more than the last book, it was interesting to see angua and carrot's relationship tested and to see more of sybil. and to see some more new pratchett worldbuilding. i mean not new but for a different place not explained as though everyone knows it already--discovering it through vimes' eyes, you know?
item b: im so fucking tired im drowning in obligations for choir a and choir c and the quartet and work and the internship and the eurovision blog and family and other friends. i went to see my friend's choir concert today and all i could think about the whole time was how exhausted i was. i spent half my day off on my couch watching the firefighter tv show and avoiding my other obligations and im STILL tired at the end. when does it get to be over does anybody know
in nicer news, i watched back some of eurovision 2024. (on the german archived livestream, for language practice and not giving the ebu the view count in equal measure.) ultimately i'm satisfied with the final result. the songs i enjoyed mostly placed well (estonia not dead last? how???), That Country didn't win, and... a song about the trans experience won. the joy on nemo's face during the announcement legitimately made me cry and settled something in me regarding my gender confusion. i don't know what i am right now, but i'm definitely not a cis woman? so that's something ruled out. like, i watched that performance and i thought, this is someone like me, these lyrics resonate with me, and their success is shared with me. go switzerland trans rights.
