Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I always feel so sad for Princess Masako. Maybe this will help, at least taking the disappointment of a nation off her some. [link]

What is even happening?

The distinction I was trying to make was between sure and possible, Frank. I don't know if they've done modern day (DNA and whatever) analysis of the Borden murder evidence, or how untainted that evidence was kept over the past 110+ years.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The fan-into-face thing was an accident, and a stupid one. I was trying to get the fan to wedge into our window, and had hooked the top under the open pane while trying to shove up and in on the bottom. The top edge slipped off the pane and hit me right in the mouth, giving my a nice bloody lower lip and a throbbing upper lip/septum.

Thanks, Trudes. I'll need two, though.

That article is very frightening. And sad.

What is even happening?

Jesse, thanks for the link. I found some pics on justjared.com, but the java script for the slideshow wouldn't work for me. That picture at Vanity Fair is an unpublished one. I thought she just looked adorable in the other pictures, but in that shot at Gawker, her eyes are freaking me out.

It's related to S's problems. Not her in specific, of course, but frustrations over trying to take care of her and get her the help she needs.

Sean, I can't even imagine how much you're going through right now. I want you to know I always think how lucky she is to have you in her life.

the gist of the defense was "a woman wouldn't be capable of this" even though the evidence pretty much pointed right at her.
The thing that really pointed at her was that it appears her step-mother died a good deal of time (maybe an hour or so) before her father, so the odds are that the murderer was someone in the house. However, there were servants in the house, at least at the moment of discovering the bodies. One of the things that worked in favor of Lizzie's acquittal was that she fainted at the trial when they unveiled the skulls. Also, she had no blood on her at the time the bodies were discovered.

I don't have any strong conviction of her innocence, but (to me) there did seem to be a little bit more mystery to Borden murder, of course I may just feel that way because it happened so long ago.
