Hello Darklings,
Well I am having my 3rd cup of coffee for the Morning, having arrived at "Oh my Gosh, it's too darn early" a.m. At least I took the first Ferry over, it helps me get into the mood of working in this Gothic Noir City.
But we do have a back log of work, thanks to the Martin Luther King jr holiday and some sort of important event that occurred back in Washington D.C. I think it was called an inauguration? Sorry Darklings, but I am being a little cynical.
The Holiday I perfectly understand, King worked hard for equality, but some other things I tend to be snide about. Maybe it's because I've been here at work since early morning, and am now taking a break.
My sister and I had a wonderful, relaxing Spa weekend, it ended much too soon, but if one doesn't go back to work then it is hard to appreciate such a wonderful treat.
Sad to say we will not have Coralline with us this coming weekend, both she and one of her brothers came down with colds. Her mother wants to make sure it will not develop any worse so she is confined to bed and is having her studies delivered to her home by her teacher. Lovely lady, I met her, she is very inspiring to encourage children to learn.
Miranda is also disapointed and was looking forward to seeing her again. But she too has a big assignment that she needs to have done to present on the following Monday.
But all is not lost My Darklings, this weekend starts the San Francisco Film Noir Festival and Peggy Cummings will be there for a special presentation and talk, I have my tickets and am looking towards a full week of Noir Films. Doyle will be able to attend many of the films with me except for opening weekend, so I am going with a friend of mine and we are going to have fun dressed in our 1940's clothing.
Many of these films are not available on DVD so I am making a list and I hope for their eventual release, and a number of them have been restored. I am always interested in those films that are done in San Francisco, to see the old city-scape as it was during the 40's, 50's and early 60's is so fasinating espeically with all the changes. Changes that are still happening even now.
Ahhh one of my co-workers has just brought me my 4th cup of coffee and, yes, I do detect a hint of pumpkin spice creamer! Perfect for a cold winter day. What a dear man.
And now my Darklings I have to go back to work. If any of you are into Film Noir check out the web site for San Francisco Film Noir Festival. You will find it very interesting.

Returned from the Ghost Confrence~~~
Oh Darklings,
I and Doyle had so much fun at the Conference at Columbia State Park, the weather was beautiful, the speakers were interesting. Our stay was very comfortable, food was good. Christopher Allen Poe the great-great Grand nephew of Edgar Allen Poe is a very interesting person and was the dinner guest speaker.
The investigations very fascinating, I hope I've captured some EVP. Doyle and I made new friends there, although I'm not big on UFO's or Bigfoot but as they say there are a lot of strange things out there.
And such a perfect way to extend the Halloween season, as we understand it they are planning to do it again at the same location next year, so I hope all goes well and we can attend again.
We stayed around until a little after noon grabbing a final bite to eat in Sonora before heading home, in many way's I hated leaving the area, but Doyle said we can always plan on taking trips back there, especially again next October.
Belladonna was a good little girl in her carry all---but we had to keep her crated in our room while we were on the night investigations. I did ask the managers the next day if there had been any complaints about any sounds coming from her but there wasn't---she was as good as gold. But glad to be home in familiar surroundings.
Doyle said for us to not bother to make dinner at home, he's going to order our stand by---take out Chinese.
I've found that several of you have asked for more in depth questions about "What is Goth?" although I've done a page on that it seems I may need to write a 'part 2' on this question. Which is very hard as being Goth is hard to define, a Goth just doesn't want to be dissected and analyzed, a Goth simply is...which makes it harder to define.
Doing a follow up will take some time Darklings but I can tell you this, being Goth is an outlook, a way of looking at the world and it encompasses a huge stratum of people who feel that they are on the outside of ordinary conventionality. But they can see the beauty in darkness and in the extraordinary---I guess I'll have to go at it from a more historical point of view, because it really can't be pinned down to one point.
So I guess I'll have to do another page on it----please be on the watch for it.
Now Darklings, I must go and take a nap, after all Ghost Hunting can take it out of a person.
