#115 Best Album of 2000 Tournament: Early Week #12 Wrap-Up
Hey folks.
Yeah, not really in the mood for much of anything right now. I have so many thoughts right now, not positive ones, but the ones that get you put on watch lists. So! Not going to expose you to those, not so much because I’m afraid of being placed on a list, but because you deserve better than my radioactive mood. I’m sure you have your own shit to deal with.
There was no match planned for today anyway, since I thought there might need to be a day for feelings. (This is the one thing I predicted correctly.) However, there were going to be matches tomorrow and Friday, but I’m canceling those. Posting those right now feels… wrong, somehow, as if to say everything is normal, when it most certainly isn’t.
On Bluesky, I asked how you, the voters, felt about continuing, and the general consensus seems to be that you are down for it, as long as I’m down for it. Coincidentally, I’m down for it as you long as you’re down for it. Therefore, we’ll take the rest of this week off and we’ll pick it up again on Monday, November 11th, 9am sharp. Hope to see you then.
