A happy boo too yoo too

Journal Entry: Mon Oct 27, 2008, 12:16 PM






NEWS


Shit its cold :S ! ! ! !

Hello and too all those people out there who have an interest in walking around the streets looking like an extra in a Michael Jackson video ... A Happy Halloween or what ever else you wanna call it ... I have to admit, its scary how much over here is becoming like America in its attempt to catch up with your style of celebrating this time of year .. either that or the fact that Asda got bought out by Wal*Mart so we now get all the imported tat .. damn I'm cynical heh heh

OK as you may have noticed I have been putting up some new stock these last few weeks .. and as much as last weeks was late I am going to try and put up one pack a week (ok the packs so far have been just that as opposed to separates and a pack but usually textures and "new direction" packs normally don't appear as separates .. as much as I ask for input as to weather peeps want them that way).  I sorta get into feast or famine mode .. you never hear from me for like 3 months then I spam you with stock till your blue in the face :S

Oh and I wanna say goodbye to a dear friend :'( [link] .. The north Wales council are moving in to demolish half of the abandoned mental hospital in north Wales and turn the rest into flats (now there's a topic for discussion LOL) and as a FUCKING IRRESPONSIBLE T.V. STUNT I hear they are allowing the Most Haunted team to burn down the hospital chapel as the final night of Most Haunted Live. I went there with ~luna-mora and ~valan back in the day and always wanted to try and convince ^Elandria to come some time (urbexing that is not to incarcerate her) but yeah .. the world is in a financial free fall and no body has the money but they still are demoing this once great building to put 2 bit flats in .. Oh and Yvette and Karl .. I know they are demoing the chapel anyway but is your bloody show that pathetic that you need to pull a stunt like burning it :( .. Ok off my soap box :)

Other than that I am seriously looking forward to next week as i get to see Lanny again after what seems to be a more stressful summer than last years :( oh and the medi fayre Woot :) ... Finally found Near Dark on dvd too but the bloody thing won't play after half way through on the house dvd for some reason :S need to sort that out ... Got me a really cool book on gothic archi and I hope it will help me with Max :) (3ds that is) .. but even so its a re-print of a book from 1847 so the intro is all in nice flowery Victorian :) its cool seeing the words we used to use.

Erm and yeah Its cold ... and Kat ! I know your in bloody Canada and have some remarkably chilly nights but I don't care .. I AM COLD ! ! ! !:P lol

Well thats the update for now .. I know I had a soap box moment but I had too ..

Oh and thanks too to everyone for the :+fav:'s and for the :+devwatch:'s they do mean a hell of a lot to me but since the DA spam thing that they put up a few months ago it makes replying EnMasse a pain .. so I want people to know I do appreciate them and a big Hyowge :hug: to all that watch, have watched and will watch me :D and like my stuff

Well till next time ..... C'YA ! ! !  !

Its very cold here too. So they are tearing down a hospital to make flats? Thats sad, even if its closed. It would make some great photos for hallowen. Around here theres not much hallowen craze, just a few shops with items. Theres some cool costumes for sale, but then theres nowere to go.

I hope you have a great time with Lanny, and keep the stock feast coming. :D

You mean the UK is picking up on the idea of Halloween only because of Walmart coming in? hmm... Couldn't be because of the weirdos who want to wander around every day of their life in costumes seeing the opportunity to go all out now could it ;)

That is pathetic about Denbigh. It's such a same that people in the same country with such history and involved past can look at such a building as so much garbage as to burn down a chapel for the "thrill" of a television show :( Just one more place I am not going to get to see when I get there :cries:

I am happy for you for next weekend... have fun! Bring back lots of great stock (as I know you will ;p)

It's starting to chill off here YAY!!!!:w00t!: I got a new coat for my trip to the UK and I have been anxious to use it :giggle:

:heart:

Its not as big over here as there .. tbh I think E.T. had a lil to do with it .. my comparison with Wal*Mart is from the fact we shopped there a lot when in the states so have something to judge it by :)

And yep it is so god damn pathetice .. Read the comment to poetic-dragon about insiting Satan the other night .. I think this show has gone totally off the rails

See how the weekend pans out :S

And yay on the new coat and stuff :)

I find MH annoying and the live ones are just nothing but LOLs. Travel Channel doesn't show them much anymore, and when they do, it's all reruns for 4 or 5 yrs ago usually. I find them all so annoying and unprofessional. They are trying to proove EVERYTHING hautned, instead of trying to figure out the truth. You ever watched Ghosthunters [the TAPS people from the New England area]? They are far more pro about it and I like how they go in to disprove and only say it's possibly haunted or is haunted when they can't disprove or explain something.

And I think they are doing the whole tear down thing everywhere. In the last couple yrs, they tore down so much in Seattle [old buildings and such] and have been putting up so many apartment and condo buildings it's insane! At one point, I heard that the peak number of crane was near 50ish in the Seattle area :faint: :no: It's crazy...and with the economy going bust these past few months, contruction on a couple buildings has slowed down because some of the clients pulled out and decided they no longer want to be part of these places with everything so up in the air.... So yeah, there are going to be LOTS of empty retail and living spaces...all because the city was all to eager to let these developers move in and "spam" Seattle's skyline with cranes and ugly condos...

I saw some eppisodes of ghost hunters anf tbh thats how MH did start out ..they seemed to e taking it serious at first but they have got stupid these days .. for instance they describe the place they are in the Live event as being "filled with feebleminded and he criminally insane" ok 1. It was a hospital not a mental prison or the like 2. it closed 13 years ago so if I have relatives who were in there before it closed I would totally disgusted (from the localpaper reports I hear the local mental health board are up in arms about the show) also last night they insited Satan :S .. hell prime tv that wll be watched by impressionable peeps .. and hell half the ivestigative peeps were in "a circle of salt" for protection .. but what about the people outside the circle .. eg the studio audience, the people watching the program etc .. So trust me I would beet the living crap out of them if I ever saw them .. Its annoyed me in the past that MHL is like you say more for the LOLs but this one really has got my goat up .. I am only watching the show for the location above anything but the team are being the most irrasponsable tits I have ever seen :(

As for knocking things down .. its not just over here [link] this lil beauty was cleared earlier this year in Boston :'(

:nod: yeah, uber stupid.... I just hope Ghosthunters stays true to their origins, but I kinda think they will, because this is just a kinda hobby they do on the side to help people...fame doesn't seem to be on their agenda. Besides, their wives would probably smack them around a bit if they started getting big heads :rofl:

*_* They really pulled that crap there *face-plants-into-computer* ....They really have stooped to a new low! I hate how the girls scream at every little floorboard groan and the "psychics" say there is something around every corner. And then, there is the "live" feedback from the at home viewers...some of the stuff they send in is just so hilarious! I watched last yrs stuff live and some of the people were all "OMG!!! I have the lights off and are watching this and my 50 million cats are going crazy because they seem to sense something" [FROM thousands of miles away thru a freaking webcam!!! Crazy cat-ladies! LOL].



GASP!!! They raped that gorgeous building!!!!!!! May they burn for it! But at least the building is still there...even if it's been bastardized.... Something that gorgeous shouldn't be torn down..... Should've been turned into a school or a museum ideally or such.... not whatever it is now [hotel or condos or whatever...]

No they completely demoed Danvers .. not one bit of it stands .. so go and get yourself Session 9 on dvd it was filmed in there :D

But yeah their stopidity amazesme some times :S or should I say their irrasponsability tbh .. I think the comment on the fame thing is on the button .. there are too many celebs doing ghost hunting stuff these days and a lot og "genuine" ghost hunting groups are getting pissed off . peeps turn up expectig to see all the stuff they see on MH and get nothing .. I should know I have stood for a few hours one various nights at a known haunted location in m own town and saw nothing :S
