I’d like to tell you that I’m feeling all bent out of shape about not attending BlogHer – I know it’s supposed to be amazing and at the very least a great opportunity to get out of the house and all that jazz – and it’s in California! But the truth is I’m kind  of glad I’m not there – for one thing, there’s no way I could afford it much less justify it to my husband. And the truth is, I’d be totally out of place – I would likely be that girl in the back corner reading a book or checking the stats on my blog and wishing I could be at home with hubby watching a movie. Because I’m lame like that. Don’t get me wrong, I think all you ladies are great, but the truth is reading about this conference on your blogs is kind of like hearing about a great party that all of your sort of friends are going to – those girls who you see occasionally, admire them maybe, but you don’t know them – you’ve never really hung out and even if you were both at the same conference / party, you still probably wouldn’t hang out.

And that’s pretty much the only thing I plan to say on the topic of BlogHer – I’m not going, there are no hard feelings, and I have other things I’d rather blog about – like say other amazing people that I follow to the point of feeling like they are my sort of friends – the wonderful wacky people at the Jeffersonian – the cast of Bones – I am finally all caught up on season 3 and now I understand all the cryptic half teasers I’ve been reading, but trying not to read. [I’m going to spoil here to warn you all.]

I ended this season (which I watched on my mac via the iTunes store, aka the only place I could find that I could purchase the shows NOW rather than wait for DVD) feeling a strange feeling – I was glad it was the end of the season – I was glad I had a couple of months before Season 4 would start – not because I didn’t like it, no if you know me, you know I loved it unconditionally, but rather – I think I’m going to need that long to come to terms with a few things in the end – oh you know that whole Zack is a murderer working for Gormogon – yeah I said it – I told you there’d be spoilers.

My husband and I are still a bit in denial about this. For one thing – we’ve gone back and watched that scene where the lobbyist is killed and we are oh so certain that the killer was not Zack, despite Zack claiming that he killed the lobbyist – what’s that about, is Zack trying to protect somebody and if so who? We also aren’t happy about having to lose trust in so many people – all the creepy music and suspicious actions had us ready to throw Sweets in jail long before Cam mentioned the possibility and despite not wanting to believe it for a second, there were moments where even we suspected Hodgins despite both of us being die hard Hodgins fans. It wasn’t pretty. This season in general wasn’t pretty – not that murder crime scenes are normally sunshine and roses, but really – how many times can we see Booth and Bones risk their lives and nearly lose them – we had to watch Booth’s funeral! We were still getting over Brennan and Hodgins being buried alive! On and on and on, and the trial with her father was drama in and of itself – and where did the british shrink go because I <3ed him – seriously, he was the bomb, not that Sweets isn’t pretty decent comic relief and all that – and providing ample fodder for all the Seeley/Brennan shippers (myself included – my husband laughed at me on a nightly basis as I consistently leaned into the tv for all my might, for nothing, every time).

So what will season 4 bring? Will this whole Zackaroni thing be explained away so he can be innocent somehow? Maybe he was brainwashed? Weak mind / strong mind, all that? Will Brennan and Booth EVER admit that they are in love? Will Angela ever get her divorce so she can get married? When is Goodman coming back? Is he gone for good or just on a sabbatical? I miss his accent, too. All these things and more I’m wanting to know, but not now. Not yet. I’ll take my two months or so to dwell and come to terms with what I’ve learned so far, and continue watching season 3 obsessively trying to prove Zack didn’t do it – and read all of Kathy Reich’s books so I can feel like a totally obsessed nutjob.
