Finally finished the latest Elizabeth George book "With No One As A Witness". This is the first in the Lynley/Havers series that I've read. Have to admit I only read it because of the contraversy about the ending.

Having not been familiar with the dynamic, it took me a bit to fill in some of the gaps and relationships that had been forged in George's previous books. The first 300 pages were very slow moving and plodded along, just like real searching for a serilal killer though. The pacing could have been quicker. The book was actually putting me to sleep at night.

The last 100 pages raced though, as George skillfully tosses in humor, plot twists and red herrings into the mix. I found the end very sad, but fair. Her characters have some serious challenges in the future. I'll be tuning in.

Finally finished watching Wonderfalls. Such a delightful show that was doomed to Fox meddling. If you ever get a chance to see it by all means do so!

Meet The Press continues the autism/vaccine shitstorm. David Kirby vs. Harvery Fineberg of the institute of medicine. Don't know if I'll see it as I have to work.

Blue Jackets locked Rick Nash up. Five year deal. Now they need defense and someone (or two, or three) to get the puck to Nash consistently. Oh, and to stop losing games in the last minute.

Do great players make great coaches?

Gretsky to be named Coyotes coach tomorrow

In any sport, how many hall of famers have been good coaches or managers? And I don't mean guys who went to the hall of fame because of their managerial skills. I'm talking about Ted Williams, Joe Cronin, Bill Russell - these guys weren't great managers but amazing players. I'm sure there are a lot of others I hope you all can help me with.

Ah, Lenny Wilkens.

the jury's still out on Frank Robinson.

There, I've said it

Ok, what's the deal with Tegan and Sara? What's with all the love of these overhyped Missing Persons soundalikes? That's all they are. Oh wait, they're sisters and they're gay so they must be talented! It's only Dale Bozzio outtakes we're hearing people. Radio sucks so bad that's why these two are getting so much buzz.

Unless it's the payola! That explains Jason Mraz.

I had the new Bloc Party on while coming home fro the grocery. And I thought the new Coldplay was dull. At least Chris Martin can sing, a little. This lead singer listened to Robert Smith while underwater and called it an influence. There's nothing rousing here people.

But who will direct 'My Road is Made of Packed Dirt'?
