Where did June go?
I read Evil at Heart by Chelsea Cain cover to cover yesterday and posted my review last night. A fast-paced serial killer novel, third in the series. It doesn’t come out until September but since I had to review it for Amazon’s Vine program I figured I might as well post the review on Onyx as well.
I definitely think that WordPress 2.8 is peppier than the previous version I had. I also like the fact that I was able to move the LiveJournal crossposting banner to the bottom of the messages on LJ. I might have been able to do that before, but I neglected to check the configuration until now.
I figured out the culprit on the first Law & Order: Criminal Intent last night the minute he lied to the police “on his friend’s behalf,” and everything else I saw during the show simply reinforced it. Whenever you see someone hovering at the back of a group photograph as if he doesn’t really belong to the group, it’s a dead giveaway on shows like this. However, I misread the Goran and Eames episode completely. I was sure that it was going to be the wife who’d been missing and presumed murdered for a decade who was the culprit. Of all the crime-solving duos on TV, Goran and Eames have the oddest relationship. They know a lot about each other, but they aren’t really friends, and there seems to be a constant level of discomfort between them. Maybe they know too much about each other.
I can’t believe that June is all but over. Wherever did it go? (The two suggestions I’ve had so far are: “Myrtle Beach” and “on the top of the fridge.”)
While I was working on other things yesterday afternoon, I watched The Three Kings on AMC, the George Clooney movie set in Iraq after the first Gulf War. It’s a fascinating film, both from an artistic point of view and a political one. The way these soldiers were able to move through the country as if they weren’t even there was an interesting concept. The story of the Iraqi soldier who took the Mark Wahlberg character prisoner was one of the most humanizing scenes in the film.
