Setting for Criminal Minds

I'm going to try something new. For those of you who don't know, I am recently obsessed with Criminal Minds. (The plot lines! The serial killers! The suspense!) Shonn and I stumbled upon it quite accidently, and have since begun to DVR as many epidsodes as possible. This obsession has begun creeping into all areas of my life. Take, for example, the other night when I was driving home. I saw a van on the side of the road with a flat tire. My immediate assumption: "A kidnapper trying to convince someone to pull over so he can snatch that person up and take her to a secret torture chamber!" This was all in the .3 seconds it took for me to accelerate and whiz by them, which was then followed by the guilt of not helping a fellow human. I've also found myself dreaming about the cast (not that way, even though Morgan is pretty hot ) and inserting myself into cases, where I use my powerful profiling skills to Save! The! Day!
This obsession has also created a new sense of creativity: I'm now viewing the world through the lens of the show's creators, looking for the next best spot for them to write a crime! That has led me to introduce:


The Best Crime Scene (for Criminal Minds) of the Day!

Exhibit A:

I love TJ Maxx. Shonn hates it. But, it was my birthday weekend, so we got to go. While he ho-hummed around, I was hunting for bargains and that led me to notice all the creepy places in that store. Now some TJ Maxxes are nice. The one in Decatur, not so much. Staffed by creepos and a little dirty in the corners, I started thinking Criminal Mindslike, and I found the perfect crime scene for their next season. The bathroom in the Decatur TJ Maxx store. Check it out. SCARE-YYYYYYY! Can't you just picture Hotchner and Dr. Reed kicking down the door and then examining the evidence in there?!

Don't you agree??
