Decidedly Grim

I apologize for my prolonged absence. Work ate my life, as usual. I’m finally done with the grim project which engulfed me and I can focus on the important things in life. New Years’ Resolution: WORK LESS!!!

Now back to some interesting things… Chase sent me a link to a short film about a woman named Sadie McMullen who was accused of throwing two children off a train trestle to their deaths during a “fit of insanity” in 1890. She was acquitted but was sent to the New York State Asylum For The Insane in Buffalo for a couple years, after which she faded into oblivion. Here’s a short film about Sadie:

And here’s a site dedicated to the magnificent asylum where she stayed:
