Dear Grid-Wide Hunt Organizers,

As someone with a bit of event planning experience under her belt, I can appreciate what a monumental undertaking something like a grid-wide hunt must be. I can also appreciate that since so much of it depends on what other people–and not what you–do, there are tons of unpredictable factors involved. That said, there are … Continue reading »

The better to hear inane bullshit with, my dear.

I think I need to figure out how to make drinks you can throw in other avatars’ faces. I think there’d be a market for them. Little tip for guys, in SL and RL both: if you’re going to relentlessly hit on anything in a skirt, have something to offer. Honestly. Too many guys seem … Continue reading »

No Day Off For You

I want soooo badly to not do any SL today, with the possible exception of design work on Photoshop which can be uploaded tomorrow. I want a day off from the drama, from the obligations, from having to do or be anything for anybody but myself. But that is not to be, not today. Clover … Continue reading »

The most read post of all?!

I’m coming up on 350 blog posts in this blog (that doesn’t count the Cat And Dog blog, Clover’s Kitchen, or any number of other blogs I keep). Most of what I write here (I like to think) includes Articles of Substance. Sure, I pop in the occasional one- or two-liner and call it a … Continue reading »

To Virtual Ships; may the real ones come in close behind them.

It may be a spike. It may be another SL “bender” obsession. Whatever it is, I’m toying around with the idea of a small SL kids’ business. Skins, clothes, stuff like that. PJ came up with a brilliant name, and it led me to design a brilliant logo, and I’m not going to reveal either … Continue reading »

All I Got

I wonder if I gave the impression that once I got my own parcel in SL, all my problems were solved. I sure hope not, because that certainly isn’t the truth. My RL situation has been nothing shy of miserable lately. And the more that happens the more seductive the fantasy world becomes. But I … Continue reading »

An Educated Elflet

Petal–much like her mom and aunt–is now going to school among humans, in the town of Willowdale. Here she is her second day of school. Willowdale Elementary holds class from 9-11AM, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Students register first, by doing some basic paperwork (background info, age, etc.). The best part is that the class is … Continue reading »

Postscript to “Dear Neighbor”

You’ve rearranged! The Zyngo machines are gone, the buildings are more wide open… I really love what you’ve done with the place!

Dear Neighbor,

Dear Neighbor, I want you–and your business(es)–to succeed, and not just because your parcel is adjacent to my own; but also because you’re a decent fellow and you should do well. It is because of this that I’m offering my opinions and unsolicited advice. Mind you, they are strictly that; you may take or leave … Continue reading »

“How cna I to get teh moneyz?”

OK, so, you’re new to SL. Or, maybe, you’re not that new to SL anymore. Maybe you’re too old for money trees, maybe you’re too wise to the idea of camping (good for you! There’s hope for you yet!), maybe you’re too broke to buy your own Ls, or else want to get Ls without … Continue reading »
