On Hero Worship

“Living in the Limelight, the universal dream For those who wish to seem; But those who wish to be…” –Rush, Limelight. Hero worship is a strange, curious thing. You admire someone you don’t really know, for whatever reason, and you start to build a pedestal out of what you imagine about them. And then when … Continue reading »

Good Night, Ladies

My poor prim Barbershop singers have been singing the same song, over and over and over, for the better part of a week. So, last night, I sent them on a well-deserved break.

Packing up, moving on

This is not a post about SL9B. OK, this is not a post entirely about SL9B. Now that Thaddeus has made the announcement public, I feel I can safely talk about it in my blog: Antique Square is closing up. Time and money are just against Thaddeus right now, especially with his RL work and … Continue reading »

SL9B – Day 2

My Greeting shift started just after the rolling restarts so I didn’t have to listen to the same complaints as yesterday. No, gentle reader, today’s theme was romantic love in its ugly (but endlessly amusing) form… of desperation.

SL9B – Day 1

Day One was filled with confusion, lag, cock-ups, TPs down, and complaining. It was also filled with beauty, music, laughter, and a great group of people who displayed patience, tenacity, and more patience. Let’s get you some SLURLs right away; it was brought to my attention that these were a bit hard for non-staff people … Continue reading »

If it’s all the same, I’ll go with Cake, thanks.

So, this is it! Opening Day is Monday. I THINK it’s all ready to go. The only thing I don’t know the status of is the balloon freebies game, and I’m going to try not to stress over it because if I’m stressing about a balloon freebies game, then I need to go find something … Continue reading »

Cake And/Or Death

Well today I was RL grocery shopping and damned if our mascot isn’t really getting around! He … Continue reading »

Sort it out.

So, did I tell you guys the one about the time I was offered multiple free regions in a new up-and-coming grid? It started on the Tweety Tweets when I was asked what I’d do if I had my very own free Hypergrid-enabled region. As I go on about this, let’s play a fun game … Continue reading »
