I don’t know why but I woke up this morning feeling as if I’d been twisted like a pretzel. Maybe I was dreaming of being a contortionist in the circus….
ETA: Forgot to mention that Kelly Osborne was robbed last night on DWTS. The winner was Donny Osmond which was a total crock. He was so uneven all season I’m surprised he made it to the finals. Well, he probably wouldn’t have if not for the fans. Which is how he won, though the judges didn’t do Kelly much good either.
Couple of things from entertainment history on this date. First, in 1947, movie executives fired 10 directors, producers, writers and actors who refused to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee which was basically a witch hunt.
And in 1952, The Mousetrap, a play written by the queen of mystery fiction Agatha Christie, opened in London. It has been running continuously ever since, earning it a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Tonight on TV, we have Criminal Minds (which I’m close to giving up), CSI: NY, MythBusters, Ghost Hunters reruns, and a new episode of Ghost Hunters Academy. Wonder if any of the cadets will get expelled tonight? They all kind of deserve it. Not for nothing have my cousin and I named them Medium Chick, Liar McFibberson, Tech Boy, Suggestible Boy, and Mr I Know More Than These Other People. 
Wrote about a page last night.
Reading: Finished up The Six Sacred Stones which was quite good. Until the last page. Where it left you with a freakin’ cliffhanger!!! 
I hate when authors do that. I mean I know it’s a series and there’s at least one more book in the series. But, c’mon, The Perils of Pauline went out of fashion with the 1930s! (And, yes, I hate when TV shows leave you hanging until the next season, too.) You shouldn’t leave your readers hanging like that. I’m just glad I won’t have to wait too long until I read the next one. Ahem. Wow. Didn’t plan on going on that rant. LOL!
You have the coolest dreams! *G* I agree that Kelly was robbed. She should have won, she made the most improvements. I’m not giving up on Criminal Minds yet, but am not sure I want to watch tonight’s episode. I don’t want to see Hotch’s family killed.
I don’t like when authors leave you with a cliffhanger, either. And it bugs me that tv shows do it so much.
I hope you’re having a terrific day!

Have you noticed that Criminal Minds has gotten very “dark”?
Wait…Hotch’s family gets killed? I did not know this? Hmmm…this is so not fair and I don’t like it.
I like my books to have a beginning, a middle and an end (conclusion) even if it’s a series.

I love your rant but I have a question for you. If the book hadn’t ended with such a cliffhanger would you still be this eager to read the next one? I get really mad about cliffhangers sometimes but they do make me go out and get the next one. Especially Karen Marie Moning’s Fever series. The last doesn’t come out until sometime next year. Argh!

Oops, needed to clarify. On the previews/promos for tonights Criminal Minds they make it look as though someone from Hotch’s family is killed. I don’t know if they actually are.
