halloween came early this year.
i'm sure y'all have heard:
Parents everywhere are rattled and horrified by the story of a Manhattan mother who came home to find two of her children murdered by their nanny, who had also tried to kill herself. Police say that the nanny stabbed the two children, aged 2 and 6, in the bathtub and then apparently slit her own throat. The mother, Marina Krim, had briefly left their Upper West Side apartment with a third child, but came home later to find the terrible scene. Her husband, an executive at CNBC, was on a business trip and was met at the airport by NYPD officers who informed him of the tragedy. The nanny, 50-year-old Yoselyn Ortega, survived, but is in critical condition and police say they have no hints as to her motive. (via)what a nightmare.

have you been watching?
neil and i are back on the voice horse at GPP. it's the only singing competition i watch, because they don't use their eyes to pick contestants, which means you get awesome people who normally don't get a chance at anything in life. the battle round just ended this week, and this was the best thing that happened during them.
it's not too late to jump in. the knockout rounds start monday, and i can't tell how they're any different than the battle rounds!
