Yup, smells like the weekend....

OMG, it is Friday at last. This was the longest short week ever. And people were just cranky and bitchy and rude. I'm SO glad it's over.

I got home from work and a storm had passed by and apparently knocked out our power. I couldn't get in the garage. Luckily, my key worked to get in the house. I took the dogs in Moby to go to the bank and then Quiznos because who knew how long the power would be out and then let them run in the park/field.

The power came back on about quarter to 7. Just in time for Say Yes to the Dress-Atlanta which I'm iffy about and the debut of Say Yes the Dress-Bridesmaids which was brilliant and bitchy and a it's about time. Bridesmaids -- I just don't understand the concept of having more than one. There was one on tonight who was having 15. Girl, that's not bridesmaids, that's your guests. And why do they have to be matchy-matchy and why do they have to be ugly? I liked the show a lot. :)

I finished Saylor's ARMS OF NEMESIS. It just hit my mood right. Now is a 14-day library book called DOMINANCE by Will Lavender. This a stand alone. Here is a summary:

Fifteen years earlier. Jasper College is buzzing with the news that famed literature professor Richard Aldiss will be teaching a special night class called Unraveling a Literary Mystery—from a video feed in his prison cell. In 1982, Aldiss was convicted of the murders of two female grad students; the women were killed with axe blows and their bodies decorated with the novels of notoriously reclusive author Paul Fallows. Even the most obsessive Fallows scholars have never seen him. He is like a ghost. Aldiss entreats the students of his night class to solve the Fallows riddle once and for all. The author’s two published novels, The Coil and The Golden Silence, are considered maps to finding Fallows’s true identity. And the only way in is to master them through a game called the Procedure. You may not know when the game has begun, but when you receive an invitation to play, it is an invitation to join the elite ranks of Fallows scholars. Failure, in these circles, is a fate worse than death. Soon, members of the night class will be invited to play along . . . Present day. Harvard professor Alex Shipley made her name as a member of Aldiss’s night class. She not only exposed the truth of Paul Fallows’s identity, but in the process uncovered information that acquitted Aldiss of the heinous 1982 crimes. But when one of her fellow night class alums is murdered— the body chopped up with an axe and surrounded by Fallows novels—can she use what she knows about Fallows and the Procedure to stop a killer before each of her former classmates is picked off, one by one?

It was published this month and has 368 pages.

This weekend Steve has to help clean/prep the rifle club for the Big Sky State Games next weekend. I'll be working like mad on the August issue since I pretty much goofed off last weekend.

Much love,
