Let us never speak of it again.<\/p>\n<p>But speaking of voting (again), I&#8217;d like to turn your attention ever so briefly toward the Jealous Haters Book Club final voting round, which has been open for&#8230;what, a week? Two weeks? Doesn&#8217;t matter. Time is made up. Jeremy Bearimy.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the voting has taken an interesting turn. There is currently a three-way tie, and every time I check for new votes, it will have still somehow evened itself out to a three-way tie. Since I never put a definite cap on when the voting was going to end, let&#8217;s say that it&#8217;ll be this Friday, and that if there&#8217;s still, somehow, a three-way tie, I&#8217;m going to eeny-meeny-miney this one.
