  • I really thought Kenley would go last night. Although, I have sort of had it in the back of my mind that they might try to amp up the drama with someone who actually makes it through to the end. Like with Christian last season. Not saying that Kenley would win, but it wouldn't suprise me if she makes it past next week. Reality shows love to have people on that the audience loves to hate.

    Once they get there, I'm not sure who would win. For the final everything changes since a killer outfit(s) is much more likely when they have more than 24 hours.

    But break out the Kleenex for next week. Looks like everyone winds up sobbing.

  • I have to babble about these Dorothy L. Sayers books for a minute.

    The first two books with both Peter and Harriet (Strong Poison and Have His Carcase) were pretty good reads, but the third one was a whole lot of YAY: Gaudy Night. The strange thing about it is that the BBC adaptations were very faithful for Strong Poison and Have His Carcase, but there was lots and lots and lots switched around or missing for Gaudy Night. The book is way better. A few things that have made me crack up in Gaudy Night and Busman's Honeymoon (the 4th book they're both in):

    • Peter has been asking Harriet to marry him for the last five years, which spans three books. The moments range from silly to sweet to touching. But what made me laugh is that the proposal that finally sticks (and the acceptance) is in Latin. MWAH! They're such goobers.

    • Peter decides to give Harriet self-defense lessons, which involves a dog collar and wrestling in a field for an hour or two. They break out the cigarettes after. *falls over*

    • The wedding was GREAT. The best part is that it's told through other people's letters which is hysterical, especially since Peter's sister-in-law is...how should I put this? A bitch. :D

    • Another great thing is Peter's mother's diary entries around the time of the wedding. Sweet and funny and I LOVE Peter's mother.

    • So far Busman's Honeymoon is reading like a farce, which I'm really enjoying. I know there's a murder on the horizon, but the first part of the book is totally fun.
