EDIT: Woohoo, go Chris! Chris Young came in 5th to last another week on Nashville Star...much improvement in his performance IMO. Incidentally it cracks me up that this show has Larry the Cable Guy as a judge. Hysterical IMO.

I am so confused. I have like completely missed the new MySpace-like features Xanga is adding and I was getting friends request emails today and left going ?! So where can I read about all of this new stuff?! HELP! LOL!

I have harbored this suspicion for quite sometime but today I feel the need to say...every single flippin' gas company out there is in league with the antichrist. $2.50 a gallon AGAIN?! I am so sick of this!! ARGH!!  *Whew* Okay, now that I have that out of my system for now...movin' on...

A really stupid book…

…would be The Phantom of Manhattan by Frederick Forsythe (who has actually written interesting things like The Odessa File and Icon), a “sequel” (and I use that term very loosely) to Gaston Leroux’s classic The Phantom of the Opera novel and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical of the same name. I just didn’t want ya’ll to be ignorant that such a piece of absolute drivel existed.

A Letter of Mary

The 3^rd entry in Laurie R. King’s Russell-Holmes mystery series is pretty good, though I wouldn’t rate it as high as the first two volumes (The Beekeeper’s Apprentice and A Monstrous Regiment of Women). On a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being highest of course, this is probably a 3.5. I guess for me, the draw of King’s writing is the way she’s captured Sherlock’s character on paper, and developed his relationship with Russell. Since the two spend a good chunk of the novel apart conducting separate investigations the story falls a little flat (of course this owes something to the fact that Russell’s investigation is essentially pointless, and we spend the most time with her point-of-view). Anyway, here is the summary for this installment: 

Late in the summer of 1923, Mary Russell Holmes and her husband, the illustrious Sherlock Holmes, are ensconced in their home on the Sussex Downs, giving themselves over to their studies: Russell to her theology, and Holmes to his malodorous chemical experiments. Interrupting the idyllic scene, amateur archaeologist Miss Dorothy Ruskin visits with a startling puzzle. Working in the Holy Land, she has unearthed a tattered roll of papyrus with a message from Mary Magdalene. Miss Ruskin wants Russell to safeguard the letter. But when Miss Ruskin is killed in a traffic accident, Russell and Holmes find themselves on the trail of a fiendishly clever murderer.

Next up in the series is The Moor.

Hmmm…

My cat Salty (excuse my language here for a second) crapped in my closet again yesterday. Grrr... Why does she do that?! Most annoying…not to mention disgusting…piece of advice, Febreze was made for moments like this! One of the best products to release in recent years, and so dang USEFUL!

The bird feces song on Beck’s show this morning – absolutely hysterical.  Really. Take my word for it. I had to work really hard suppressing my peals of laughter at work...my coworkers just wouldn't understand I'm afraid.

Bible study tonight...more later ya'll...
