new LJ stuff

[juldea]

I uploaded a new LJ photo for the ... darker side of things. This is Elizabeth Jackson, a possible victim of Jack the Ripper. It's an incredibly freaky photo.

So, I finally got around to overriding a few style codes in LJ. If you look at my main page you'll notice I have a new color scheme and background, plus a cute little theme going with the title and comment links. Of course, these things I change will never be viewable to everyone else, seeing as no one goes to individual pages; we all read our respective friends' pages instead.

Speaking of cats, my Florida cat is going to get thrown into a snowdrift tomorrow so it can experience new things in his life. Laughter and photos will follow.

I forgot to add - that pic's gross! If you hadn't said who it was I would've been ok but now you're going to creep me out every time you use it.I'm a wuss, i know:(.

What should disturb you more is that it was my two hours of research into the Ripper murders that found the picture. All kinds of fun morgue and autopsy shots from the time period are online.

Why did I do this, you ask? For the Jack the Ripper quest on 3k. Well, for the first half hour. After that it was just fun.

I promised Kevin I'd use it in posts about him... hehe

[zenandtheart.livejournal.com]

Couldn't you use a picture of him? That woudl be much more palatable;)

I look better than a woman who was killed in 1889.

I'm touched.

[juldea.livejournal.com]

I'll even go so far as to say that you look better than a woman who was born in 1889. Don't let it go to your head, though.

i've just been reading 'case closed,' a book by patricia cornwell about jack the ripper. it's good. weird coincidence.

[isaiahblake.livejournal.com]

Cornwell doesn't provide a strong enough case for Sickert's guilt, in my opinion. Her assertions are based mostly on hearsay, symbolism and speculation rather than any kind of concrete link.

But, really, it's all academic. I'm not sure if there will ever be a way to know who the killer actually was.
