Strange Candy

Yes, I bought the new Lau­rell K. Hamil­ton book, “Strange Candy.” Based on the fact that these short sto­ries were her ear­li­est works. It offered up the first ever Anita Blake story and it was a breath of fresh air and left me with a long­ing for more. “Those Who Seek For­give­ness” was pretty good. Reminded me of the old days when Anita Blake was solv­ing cases and rais­ing the dead. In here she’s just rais­ing the dead. There’s no Jean-Claude or Richard but do I care? No. I perused the rest of the sto­ries and plan to read them. Lau­rell K. Hamil­ton has a vivid imag­i­na­tion and I do miss read­ing her work, very much. Just pull you up a chair and read the first story when your in the book­store next time.

America’s Next Top Model UPDATE:

They finally got rid of Monique. Or Monique got rid of herself. I didn’t live with them and she was dri­ving me insane. Exam­ple: she took her under­wear off and rubbed it all over this girl’s bed while she was sleep­ing. Talk about a nut case. Anyway, she got sick, read “dehydrated” and didn’t make it to the photo shoot. I remem­ber last year when one of the girls was sick read as “dehy­drated” she pulled her­self together and gave it her all and turned it out. She won last year. Monique went home. A moment of silence, please.
