Peterson guilty of murder in the first degree for the killing of Laci and murder in the second for the killing of Connor. What a horrible, horrible person. As Ross says, may God have mercy on his soul.

Its raining, I feel shitty and the Peterson case has me feeling horrible for poor Laci. We should be afraid of the people you meet in a dark alley, not the person who lies next to you every night.

Thought to leave you with for the weekend from my wise friend Jeremy:
"That certainly is what a relationship is, I've realized. Watching others be... disappointing and mediocre."

Promise to be more upbeat on Monday.


Ok I posted the above and then felt so guilty about being so F-ing depressing that I couldnt just let it go like that for the rest of the weekend. So here is a beautiful quote from one of my favorite writers, Don DeLillo. Hes amazing. I recommend everything he has ever written, but especially Mao II and White Noise.
"There are times you do the simplest thing and it reaches you in a way you didnt think possible, in a way you'd once known but have long since forgotten. You eat a fig and there is something higher about this fig. The first fig. The prototype. The dawn of figs. (Laughing out) I feel I've known the particular clarity of this air and water, I've climbed these stony paths into the hills. Its eerie, this sense. Metempsychosis..... A greek word. Look straight up, the universe is pure possibility." Don DeLillo, The Names

I am not such a downer after all! Have a good one
