Beyond the Grave

8/10/2005 - Tattoo

Posted in Photos

Since Lhallow posted her tattoos to her blog, I'm going to be a copy cat and post mine in my blog.

My choice in tattoo showcases excactly how much of a geek I am.  It's the Imperial Emblem from the Star Wars movies.  Have a look:



I also plan on getting a Jack 'O Lantern on my left shoulder someday.  Then I'd have tattoos of the two things that shaped the madman that you see before you now.

7/19/2005 - Bored Today

Posted in Photos

So, I'm kinda bored today.  I went to work this morning and had to come home because I need to work a split shift today.  What it boils down to is we don't have enough equipment to go around sometimes, so I'll occasionally do a split shift and come back in the afternoon to work when equipment is available for me to use.  Beats sitting there with no work.  Which brings me to this...

The other day I ordered about 200 LEDs from ebay.  I got 50 Green, 50 Red, 50 Orange and 50 UV LEDs on the way from Hong Kong so I can make some LED spotlights to help eliminate some of the floodlights I used last year.  That should help save electricoty.  I think I'll have enough leftover that I could sell some on eBay or even make some more lanterns (again, for sale on eBay) to try and recover the costs of buying them.  At least when I have no work to do at work, I can sit there and solder up some LED spotlights to pass the time.

So, I see some people on my friends list posted Halloween costume photos.  I think I'll do the same.  This is my "Zombie-F" costume that I used from 2000 - 2002, and I think I'll be bringing out of retirement this year.  I liked that costume.



It's too steamy outside to do much of anything, so I am DEFINITELY going downstairs to watch my Netflix movies until it's time to go to work.  I promise.

7/18/2005 - I MUST Be Hyper or Something!

I tell you, I WAS just gonna come home from work and take it easy, but sitting around doing nothing is just not me.  I get bored and need to do something.

So today I broke out the Columns for the cemetery and made sure the internal thunder and lightning machine in them still worked.  I also adorned them with some spanish moss which makes them look completely AWE-fricken-SOME!!!

Photobucket album is HERE.

TOMORROW, I'll take a break.  NOT!

7/16/2005 - I'm Heeeeere!

Haha!  Finially, the Zombie has come back to BLOGGING!

Ok, so I've not been in here yet, but that sounded pretty cool, nonetheless.

Well, since alot of the other bloggers have posted pics their first time around, I'll do the same.  This is a pic of me that I actually like.  It's from a band performance back in May of 2000.  I had RED EYES!  EVIL!!!:



Let's see, more about me...

I'm a rabid Halloween nut.  Who here isn't, right?  I love to decorate as well as read about the history of the observance.  I've read "Halloween: An American Holiday, An American History" by Lesley Pratt-Bannatyne, David Skal's "Death Makes a Holiday", (most of) "Halloween and Other Festivals of Death and Life" edited by Jack Santino, and "Halloween: Customs Recipes and Spells" by Silver Ravenwolf.

I've been hauting my yard since 2001.  I started with just two tombstones, a strobe light and a fogger and have since moved up to having animated props and a full-blown graveyard.

I guess that's all for now.  I'll probably use this blog as a propbuilding diary of sorts, chronicling my misadventures in propbuilding.

Feel free to say "hi" while you're here!
