FFWD 1 day

The more astute reader will recognize there was no entry from yesterday.  Very observant!  I took a day.  Nerves are frayed and tempers spiking.  The waiting and delays on moving into our new home coupled with lack of sleep, and being all cramped in one room pretty much hit the top of the barometer and I needed to step away.  took a bit of a walk, then hung around the room with Izzy vegging out to TV.  Probably not the best use of my time, but being overcast I didn't want to get stuck in the rain somewhere with her.  Speaking of TV, the other night (being spoiled with cable in the hotel) Angela and I were up late watching one of those reality TV "Haunted" shows.  I have to comment that those shows really annoy me.  Not that I don't believe, mind you.  I grew up in New England, and all but one of the houses we lived in were well over 150 years old, so needless to say they had history.  At any given time you heard voices, footsteps, creaks, cold spots, shadows, mists, caught glimpses of people there...that weren't there THE WORKS!  But what bothers me in these shows is not only the way they film them, the whole spectrum of special effects, but you never actually SEE anything!  Prime example, the show we watched was about a mother and her two daughters who moved into an older house in NJ that very quickly started doing bad things, marks on one girl, throwing stuff about,  real Spielberg "Poltergeist" stuff.  Well they call in this crew of paranormal investigators, and they set up all this high tech goodies and go about their bit.  At this point in the show they are showing "actual footage" of the paranormal investigation  As they employee a technique of burning sage to "cleanse" the house they follow the mother and daughters "WITH THE CAMERA!" around the house, as the mother is climbing the stairs.  Now at this point when they show her getting to the top of the stairs they switch to the studio bit of the Mom and Daughters and investigators all DESCRIBING what happened next.  That the daughter who the ghost had been messing with all of a sudden started talking in a deepening voice, and her eyes became completely black, and her face contorted and a Demonic "Otherworldly" voice came out of her telling them it was his house and they had to leave!  Wait a MINUTE!!!  you HAD THE CAMERA!!  this all supposedly took place less then a minute after she reached the top of the stairs!?!?!  Why was NONE of this caught on film?!?!  Can you imagine how RICH you would be if you had ACTUAL footage of a possession!  Think of the bank "Paranormal Activity" Mad...and it was a fake!
But I guess in the end, these producers know what they're doing, cause the keep rubes like me suckered into watching them hoping to see something believable!

ANYWAY.  Got Matt on specials today.  He's restoring an old Schwinn Panther, and Zombie boy is in places unknown.  Me am babysitting as Momma is taking care of Logan who is not feeling well.  So I won't be able to start on anything much before nap time.  But when I do, I'll be finishing up the Nishiki.  So until tonight!
