I Said I Probably Wouldn't...

magicaddict...but tonight, Elizabeth and I once again enter the S-Factor.
This is the groups competition, though is populated by more one-man bands than the original version. The idea was to try to get people to band together and do duets, trios and quartets, but as the regular student karaoke session barely boasts enough people who can hold a tune, let alone do strange things like harmony, they were barking up the wrong tree to begin with.
The first week they had two entries. We decided that this was a crap shoot and probably worth having a go for.
Cue the dusting off of our pairing as Impractical Magic and doing our version of Fisher's I Will Love You in self-arranged harmony. This is the final week of heats, so we were expecting more people, but I am reliably informed that there is a little extra sizzle added to the competition tonight, and it's nothing to do with Welsh Dave - we know he's going to win.
Apparently, the chair of BUSMS is entering. Stuart Collins and I will be having a singing contest. Fine, I can't use weaponry, but it'll do.
He's duetting with another member of the society on Kids (Robbie & Kylie), which I know she'll struggle with the high notes on, and I'm quite pleased with the way that Elizabeth and I sound - we're balancing each other nicely. The stage might be set for a bit of sweet, sweet revenge - what price we come in third and push them into fourth and out of the qualifying spots?
I'm petty. You know this already. Get over it.
The crystalline stuff that I was banging on about yesterday has sold Keiran, so it's on to the diffractometer to see precisely how the various materials have actually bolted together. Whatever happens now, it's going to be a good, reportable result. Nice to get something solid that I can dedicate a lot of pages to in the write-up, especially as it was one of about three things Keiran said would be "really great" if I could get before I finish.
Time to go and check on dinner, but before I do, behold another example of older people not being able to live up to their own hype and complaining about the very rules they put in place to curb dangerous youths coming around and biting them on the ass.
I swear that if this were about race rather than age we'd be on the verge of civil war by now.
