I got nothing today, I'm playing catch-up with things
The title of the day is actually a Pennsylvania Dutch saying that I have on a trivet hanging up here at home.

Yeah, I finally got there, and it didn't take as long as I thought. It's about an hour and a half hike from the Cairo trail head West to get to Silver Run Tunnel (Tunnel 19), and the hike is so easy going you're there before you know it. I'm thrilled that the photos turned out as good as they did, but nothing to write home about in terms of "paranormal" stuff, nothing came up on the DVR either, so I'll have to go back out there again with better equipment and do some more investigative work. I will say that I've been to some creepy places, Moundsville penitentiary, schools, churches, the hotel I worked at, an old bank, cemetaries, but by far the creepiest place I've ever been was tunnel 19. The next time I go, I'm going to have one of them 1 million candlepower 12 volt spotlights, just to get through it. Some facts about the tunnels straight from the Rail Trail Map and brochure: The longest tunnel on the trail is Tunnel 6 at 2,297 feet (not named), the second longest tunnel is Tunnel 21, the Eaton Tunnel, at 1,840 feet, then comes Tunnel 19, the Silver Run Tunnel at 1,376 feet. There is another long tunnel, Tunnel 2 (Not named) at 1,086 feet. Now I had trouble going through the third longest on the trail, since the longest is about twice that length I don't think I could get through it without a bright light and maybe the escort of a tempermental half demon quick on the draw with his sword.
Regal Cinemas doesn't show Studio Ghibli films when they go to wide release (or as a limited release theater for that matter), and I've written them about it, but it's not an anti-animé bias, they showed Appleseed when it went to wide release. I stand behind my conviction to not set foot in a Regal Cinemas theater until I see a Studio Ghibli film on the marquee, and I told them that.
Well, all I can ask about then is if you've ever had to deal with tent worms?
FLCL is actually a series that's deeper than the silly shell it's presented in, and I wish the TechTV message boards were still up, one of the Moderators wrote up a really good in depth study of that animé and I haven't been able to find anyone from those boards who's saved it to read through the whole thing. If I happen to stumble upon a DVD of Dragon Half, and it's not beyond my budget, I will check it out. The problem I have with animé is if it's not on expanded basic cable, I have to get the DVD to see it, and most often I can't even do that. It does sound like a fun series though.
Mamma Vash:
It's a beautiful place to be, I know I'm going back. Not sure what you mean about the mono color style, I just point and push the button, the camera does all the real work. I couldn't get the pictures to turn out right but there are some mini stalactites dripping down from the curved ceiling in that tunnel, and the brick and morter facade is one you have to really see up close to appreciate (I need a brighter flash for my camera). Speaking of color styles, I remember talking to someone who was wanting to get the look of older style photos (that yellowed look) and my sister pointed out to me that the plug-ins for gthe latest build of
Irfanview now have a sepia filter to give images that yellowed look.
Howl's Moving Castle does have some great visuals to it, which is something I expect from any Studio Ghibli film. The character designs are all well done, and the looks seem to fit the personalities of the characters (at least the English personalities).
Having had a hamster I know what you mean, but mine was actually smart enough to cram his bedding under that thing real tight so he could climb up on it without spinning off, so follow his example and "stop that wheel a movin'" to get caught up.
I look forward to those pictures, it sounds like a place I'd fit right in with no problems. I took 100 of the hike to Silver Run Tunnel, but the ones I've posted are by far the best ones out of the bunch (there are a few others, but I don't feel like tweaking the table to fit them in).
