today is not saturday.

took off work today to spend some quantity/quality time with mini-me, who was in for fall break. kept thinking it was saturday. but it's not. tomorrow's friday, and then we will get saturday. yeah!

saturday - vandy plays miss state at miss state. be sure & tune in - 1:30 central time. go 'dores! the titans & the mighty crappy green team are off this week.

finished that book king of lies, and it turned out to be really quite good. nice surprise. one never knows when one is picking books off the bargain pile. the current book, the girl who stopped swimming, is not showing as much promise. the set keeps changing - like from one paragraph to the next. it's disjointed & disorienting. it's probably a device the author is using - to juxtapose the past & present. the characters are introduced without establishing a full background for them, which is a good thing, because the story can be bogged down by character descriptions - but, it takes too long to establish the relationships between the characters & the story and the characters with each other. the characters just sort of hang out there waiting to be attached to each other. so, just like too much description, too little bogs down the story.

what book are you reading?
