isunshowerwell, yall know me, comin' right back atcha with a post that should really be two posts. listen, it gets me to use this site sooooo whatever.
finished night watch, the next book in the city watch subseries, recently. IT WAS GOOD. i was confused by the fifth elephant and disappointed by the book before that whose name i truly cannot even remember now, but this was good. i love time shenanigans. i LOVE time shenanigans, and we even got young vetinari.
hey, remember when i would like, summarize the books i was reading as part of the post? yeah, me too. maybe someday i'll get back to doing that.
anyway, let's talk about international!!!!!!!!!!!! so the intl contest for barbershop quartets was held this week and finished last night. the winner: a group from florida called 3.5 men that everyone knew was going to win so like no surprise there. the runners-up: four really good quartets (actually all the finalists were really good). next year's contest is gonna be so close, especially with the swedish quartet lemon squeezy coming back from hiatus and potentially gq, the first ssaa quartet to come top five, coming back with a new bass. and first take and gimme four, the rest of this year's top three, both of whom probably have a shot at winning in the next five years. i think next year is going to be a two-way race between first take and squeezy, with g4 maintaining third and the ladies, new gq, and nf4 fighting it out for fourth and fifth.
