The Lincoln Lawyer - Michael Connely

Most people who hang around me for more than a good minute or so tend to know that I love watching TV shows, not movies, plays, documentaries, or anything like that, strictly TV shows. One of my all time favorite shows is Bones. The show centers around a forensic anthropologist and basically her FBI partner and "squinterns", as the show refers to her colleagues, solve murder cases on decomposed bodies. I basically know everything about the show to the point where I can consider myself borderline-creepy.

Anyways, every once in a while I go on IMBD or Wikipedia to see what people have to say about the show. One thing always leads to another and I end up spending sometimes a good hour clicking on different links that are added on the page. I found myself on Michaela Conlin's site, she plays Angela Montenegro on the show, and I noticed something pretty awesome in my mind. Angela is one of my favorite characters on TV alongside Joey Tribiani from Friends and a couple others. One of the posts about her said that she was in an upcoming movie called 'The Lincoln Lawyer', so naturally I also left-clicked that and ended up on that page. I have already decided that I am seeing the movie when it comes out in March, but I also found out that it was a book first.

After going on a wild goose chase, I tracked the book down, threw the current book I'm reading back on my shelf, and I have already begun the book. It's safe to say I am engrossed in it at this point, mostly because I'm still waiting for Michaela's character to be introduced. It stinks that I am so busy with basketball though because engrossed for me means I read twenty pages today. I have to say though, it's really interesting and intense right now....and the movie trailer looked the same way. Can't wait for Detective Heidi Sobel to be introduced!...and yes I know, I'm weird.
