We had a day of darkness befall our humble obode. The other day (Thursday the 25th) we had a nasty store blow through around 3:30 in the afternoon. It was deemed that straighline winds took down some trees in our neighborhood. Luckily we still had power though. But then the politics got involved.....
Some of you know, but most don't, that I am into paranormal research. In an effort to catch things, I have a digital recorder that works off of batteries. So in late May I decided to record in the boy's room. I've caught a couple of things in the past.... but...
As you know I'm a huge Halloween buff. I truly enjoy setting up a great display for the kids each year. I have some plans to build a large display this year and a part of it will mosaleum, a set of pillars for the fencing, a lit cemetery sign, and a full size panelled casket. The mosaleum will also use a video projector inside of it to display some ghostly images inside of the mosaleum. I was fortunate to find an Infocus LP225 at a garage sale for only $20.00. While this thing is a big LCD display it does work and has sound too.
So Now I need to create ghostly images to project and loop them. Also we plan on hosting a movie night for the neighborhood kids one evening. We will put up a screen made of a couple of sheets from the local thrift store on some 2X4's and play Disney Bolt for them. Should make for a fun night.
Well, for the very few of you who actually read this thing, I have news. I've started a new job working with the Sales Group of my employer. I'm officially a Senior Sales Engineer. Basically I am the Technical liaison between sales and consulting. I work on the phone with potential customers, performing demo's of our products and then once the customer is sufficiently ready to move forward, prepare a Statement of Work to hand off to the consulting groups Project Management office to build the actual statement of work....
Well I've been busy making props on my weekends. I've created a corpse, and new couple of head stones. ->http://2008.perryhiltz.com/Pictures/2008Pict.nsf/albums/PHIZ-7K5TAP

This is still early, I have other things to finish settting up.
I've been on the road for it seems like forever. This evening I was at San Juan Capistrano with a co-worker. We decided that seeing how we were in the area, we should stop by and see this historic site. Well across the street was a very nice looking Italian restaruant. So we decided to eat. Well half way through dinner I look over at the next table and think to my self, is that Natalie Portman? Now I know I'm in the land of the celebrities but what could the chances be? Well, I tried to take a couple of pictures without being obvious but they didn't turn out that goo. So please visit my poll on the top right of my page and vote, do you think it is her?
