I've caught RoseDrop Rust doing some cool poetry and storytelling at Circe's place when I could, and I'm digging the vibe of her mushroom grotto.
If my calendar is correct, I'll be doing an hour of 100 word stories there at 4PM SLT today.
It's it's not correct, well, enjoy whoever is there and stick around until I make to to the mushroom-podium.
Next Wednesday's reading will
Trying to lose weight is not fast, easy, or fun.
Been there. Done that.
Got the t-shirt anyway.
I saw the Mrs. off and did my morning walk to Central Market and back. The iPhone had my grocery list: green onions red, yellow, orange peppers cucumbers peeled garlic avocado I added raspberries, zero-calorie tea bottle (hydration on way back), and fresh spring rolls and that was it. When

Fishing for the sun
I send my shadow to the dock
To go fishing for the sun
It never knows what bait to use
But my shadow still has fun Fast Easy Fun
Based on the number of times Philip said "Fast Easy Fun" during his presentation and Q&A, I suspect that he got a speeding ticket needing a trip to this traffic school.
Or, Second Life is going to turn into a massive multistudent traffic school simulator so that people out on the roads don't get killed by student drivers.
Either If you didn’t get a Golden Ticket, how do you follow the love-fest today at 10AM SLT?
So, if you weren't one of the people "randomly" chosen for a Golden Ticket to today's love-fest with Philip and BK Linden, how do you follow the fanboi-fest propaganda-push-and-spin in real-time as if it's one of Steve Jobs' Apple infomercials?

Jack Pitts has been consumed by the shadows...
None can resist... the shadows will consume all.
I feel like I'm consuming everything, too. Even though I've been trying hard to keep my diet routine, I've been screwing up here and there.

Scott Jennings nails it on Second Life and Linden Lab:
First off, Linden Lab doesn't appear to know what its core business is. Hint: it's server hosting. Second Life is, essentially, a protocol. Everything content-related - game-y things, world-y things, people-with-cat-heads-meowing-things-you-really-don't-want-to-hear things - all of them come from the users themselves. Linden Lab just puts up the servers, and people pay Linden money to run them. They then
How to take a punch…
A conversation I had recently with my shadow...
"Seen the referral stats?"
"Yeah."
"You're getting bashed by the crazy bitch again."
(pause)
"I said you're-"
"And?"
"Well, I thought you'd want to know."
"Like I give a shit?"
"It's really pathetic this time."
"And this is a surprise how exactly?"
"Well, I thought you'd want to kn-"
"I don't."

I miss my Kyle O'Clock fix, because it's not just music.
It's people. Together. Winding down for the day. Relaxing. A glass of wine, a good tune or ten.
Just not the same, listening to his albums... or chatting folks up here and there.
Just not the same.

Yoko Ono's Peace Tower is a replica of a RL construct.
However, unlike the RL beacon, it has a propensity for tearing the fabric of space-time and opening portals to alternate dimensions.

When folks come by the Five Islands neighborhood of islands, the first thing most say is how nice it is over at Camalot and Woodbridge.
The four islands I administer are currently full, but Jack's pondering renting out space on Camalot.
The area is wooded/rustic, plenty of water and walking paths over to Woodbridge, Corbenic, and points beyond.

Christmas in July? (or Wakey Wakey, Eggs and Beacons)
There was no Cypress O'Clock last night, so my new routine of setting the kitchen timer for 30 minutes and doing 20 situps with each alarm went smoothly for the first night.

Posts like this one about SL Marketplace are more valuable than diamond-encrusted gold.
It's a customer who has tried to use the product/service, has issues with it, lists those issues, and makes suggestions to resolve those issues while explaining the benefits of each suggestion or the costs of failing to resolve those issues.
So, are they just being critical and attacking, as some might say?
No. As many
The Wall
I've never liked the retaining wall at the base of the clocktree in the park.
So, after searching and tweaking and hunting, I finally found what might work for that location:
That's the sculpty circular stone wall from Organica, normally surrounding a fountain but I've removed the water and filled it with the mulch and flowers I picked up from Callie

Gone fishing
While I was busy working on the 100 word stories weekly challenge, my shadow got bored and went fishing.
Now that I'm done, it's time to do my daily walk.
Yeah, it's hot out, and I'd be able to walk more if I got out earlier.
Instead, I'll just walk over to best Buy to pick up some stuff on

It off The First Rule Of Holes and Viewer 2.X
Zha condemns Viewer 2.1 and the thoughtlessness processes behind it:
Nobody can tell me this is faster, easier or better for anyone, new or old. Making tasks more and more complex is just plain stupid. Adding clicks is stupid. Adding clicks and menus and tabs and making the nested modal swamp deeper is the opposite of delightful interface.
The one thing I kept hearing about Viewer 2.0 was

I saw the movie Inception yesterday afternoon and pondered its meaning and message in terms of Second Life.
A question that's been haunting me for a while has been "Why are we hiding down in here and what is so frightening up above?"
I don't have the answer for that, but I did make a crude duplicate of the top that Cobb uses in the film.

I had a good time reading stories at West Of Ireland in Second Life.
Did you have a good time suffering through them?
And how about that Solomon Sixpence guy - I kinda like being able to take a break now and then, and his stuff's a riot.

I wrote this a few days ago when I hit 215 pounds.
Now that I've done the usual bounce off of a low and had a bit of a dietary rumspringa with sabotage foods here and there, I need to rededicate myself to my goals and what it takes to get me there.
I will not blame the toaster, but the finger that pushes down the lever.
