Heading off to D.C. tomorrow morning for a quick trip. Get there at noon and head back home at omigod o’clock on Saturday morning. The weather looks a little grim, so I’m not sure how much sight seeing I’ll get done before heading to The Three Kings in the evening. I’m taking my umbrella, that’s for sure.
I was going to start Patrick McGrath’s new novel, but instead I picked up Divisadero by Michael Ondaatje, which I’ve had on the TBR pile for a long time. One deciding factor was that the Ondaatje book is paperback ARC and McGrath is hardcover and since I’m trying to travel light, paperback won. I have no idea what the book is going to be about, but at this point it’s the story of a strange, blended family. The focal character’s mother died in childbirth. Her father adopted another girl, born the same day, whose mother also died in childbirth. Filling out the foursome is an older boy—the rest of his family was murdered by a handyman. He survived by hiding under the floorboards. He isn’t treated as a family member, exactly, which is good because the main character has just stared an affair with him. The book looks like it might be about identity, but I haven’t read the cover matter or any reviews, so I can’t be sure, and the title doesn’t give much away.
Sharon survived last night on Big Brother, thanks to a heads-up from the others, and Josh got the boot. Adam delights me. He’s such an intriguing person. It’s like he turns on and off at will. His concentration level prior to HoH was visible, and he pulled it off. Is he the first repeat HoH? I think so. Whodathunkit. It’s getting down to slim pickings for nominees. If he doesn’t want to shake things up, he’ll go with Sharon and James and James will go unless he can 4-peat on PoV contests. It’s getting down to the wire.
A decent episode of Criminal Minds last night that finally put to rest the 20-year-old crime that was haunting Rossi, and a parallel story that put Reid and Hotch in a small room with a serial killer.
