Sometimes a weblog lets you learn too much about a person. I can’t stop thinking about this story, as described at Web Pro News A Chinese student in Queens, NY, was tied to a chair and stabbed repeatedly in the chest with a butcher’s knife. His sister, the ex-girlfriend of the killer, arrived a short time later and met a similar fate. What the killer didn’t expect was a web log entry that placed him at the scene.
Jin Lin, 23, has been charged with the first-degree murder of Sharon and Simon Ng, of Flushing.
Nineteen-year-old Ng’s weblog stated that his sister’s ex-boyfriend was waiting downstairs, smoking and pacing, while Ng look[ed] for the would be killer’s fishing poles. That was a short time before the slayings.
Nin confessed to police after his alibi crumbled in the wake of the web log’s proclamation placing him at the scene. He said he intended to rob the siblings to finance his return trip to China.

Today I missed my Japanese class again, since I have gotten a bad throat. I only went to the class once this week, so I am probably so far behind now. I will catch up in the summer tho so no worries hehe. Anyway today has been weird, at 3 some guy ringed the bell. I went down and recognized it was my sister's former boyfriend. He told me he wants to get his fishing poles back. I told him to wait downstair while I get them for him. While I was searching them, he is already in the house. He is still here right now, smoking, walking all around the house with his shoes on which btw I just washed the floor 2 days ago! Hopefully he will leave soon, oh yeah working on the jap report as we speak!
