Focusing is hard to do

Deadlines. I've got deadlines. That Gallagher Girls sequel isn't going to write itself, you know.

But there is so much other important stuff to do...

like psych myself up for the Prison Break finale tonight...

or type my name and my book's title and every possible derivation of the two into Google and GoogleBlog a dozen times a day...

oh, and someone's got to stay on top of those Amazon rankings, because as every publishing insider will tell you, they mean absolutely nothing.

But perhaps most importantly, I have to keep reminding myself that I have my first signing/event tomorrow night for I'D TELL YOU I LOVE YOU BUT THEN I'D HAVE TO KILL YOU. It's going to be at my local library, so if you live nearby (and you probably know if you do) then come by and chat and pick up a book. Or twenty.

But even though I'm very excited about the big library shindig, can anyone think of a reason why it's killing me to have to go?

Anyone?

Well, if your answer was 'Veronica Mars' or "bus crash" or 'Logan Echols with his shirt off" or any combination thereof, then you are oh-so correct.

I'm going to have to miss the Veronica Mars season finale!

Now, of course, I have Tivo. In fact, Veronica and her fellow Neptunians are the main reason I got Tivo. And I also have two VCRs, and I'm planning on using all three to record the finale because, hey, Tivo can fail, and in life-and-death situations like this, it's always smart to have a backup. Or two.

Hey, maybe I do deserve to be a Gallagher Girl.

Goodness knows Veronica does.

If you want to hear my theory on who crashed the bus, look below. If you don't want to hear any theories, or if right now you're saying "What bus?" then I'll just say goodbye for now!

happy reading!

Ally's bus crash culprit theory:

Note: I have no inside information or spoilers--just that, according to the cast, it was a big shock. Given that, I think we can rule out any of the people who have had major light thrown on them thus far (the mayor, Cordelia...um, I mean, Kendall, the Fitzpatricks.)

So, that being said, my prediction is....Cassidy "Beaver" Cassablancas.

Here's my theory: Beaver was one of the boys abused by the mayor. He knew the other two boys were going to go public, but he didn't want that to happen, so he planted the bomb, but not before planting the rat so that he and his friends could get off the bus. Then, they followed in the limo and he was able to trigger the bomb when the bus approached the cliff.

It's a crazy theory, I know. But I think the answer has to be a little crazy (and yet, in hindsight, believable.) Such an amazing show!

That's as good a theory as any others I've heard. :)

I like your theory. I think that Beaver has some kind of sexual transmitted disease and that's why he wouldn't have sex with Mac.

Well, that does sound plausible but I dunno....The Beav is just so sweet and innocent...I also have this feeling it might not be one of the season regulars....Personally I've got my money on the little old blind lady with the baracuda LOL!

She was totally SKETCH, dude!

Oh and to kathrynoh....VERY INTERESTING...deffinetly a theory I haven't heard of so far....nice creativity

Ally, I just bought your book and I'm so excited about reading it!

And I'm coming out of lurk mode because I can't resist sharing my Veronica Mars theory....though, I have no proof to back it up.






I also think Beaver was one of the boys abused by the mayor. Hence why he won't get involved sexually with Mac. He may be a little too "damaged"--to use a Grey's Anatomy term--to contemplate a healthy sexual relationship.

But I think the mayor planted the bomb in order to kill Beaver so he wouldn't talk about the abuse before the incorporation vote. I think Beaver may have been blackmailing him to get the incorporation vote to swing the way that would benefit his land trust scam or whatever he's doing with Kendall.

Gia did say that her father warned her not to take the bus home, right? I'm also thinking that someone other than the mayor may have pushed the button by using a cell phone--maybe even Gia, without realizing her phone had been rigged.

I think that's why Lamb found the same kind of bomb under the mayor's car (the mayor put it there to frame Lucky). Also, if I remember correctly, the hangar that Jackie's dad used for his cars, where Veronica found the explosives, is owned by the mayor.

All just speculation, of course!

I don't watch Prison Break or Veronica Mars, even with Tivo, there's only so much TV my brain can handle. Nope, my weaknesses are reality-TV like American Idol (tonight) and nerdy stuff like House MD (also tonight) and CSI.

Ah... With I had two heads - one to watch TV and the other to write!
