It's Wednesday and thank god the weekly papers are out, because how else would you stay dry in this terrible downpour? (Seriously though - grab one of each, it's really raining out there.) Once you're somewhere dry and safe for newsprint, here's what you'll be reading assuming the ink is still legible:

Judging from the cover shot, SFWeekly is leading off with a piece on another indie-film biopic of Edith Piaf. Actually though, Ashley Harrell's Killer Instinct piece is about Samantha Spiegel, a 19 year-old fashion design major from Academy of Art with the peculiar hobby of mailing letters to convicted killers like Charles Manson, Richard Ramirez (aka The Night Stalker) and Richard Allen Davis. Spiegel says she was once engaged to John Mark Karr, the man who falsely confessed to killing Jon Benet Ramsey in 2006, but ended up in rehab after Karr brainwashed her into becoming a "slight pedophile."

Now she's at Academy of Art, doing totally normal college girl stuff: She's really interested in fashion ("she even studded the leather jacket she is wearing"), 1970's girl-punk group The Runaways ("Cherry Bomb" is her favorite) and she dishes about Karr in dorm-room therapy sessions with her two roommates who talk about him like he was just any old jerk of an ex-boyfriend. The kind of jerk that makes one recruit children for a sex cult, that is.
