This is Second Style’s 4th Anniversary issue. In a virtual world where a week is the equivalent of a month and where people come and go so quickly, 4 years is an impressive accomplishment. We’ve come a long way from that first issue, and have seen so many changes in the fashion world that is Second Life. The creative way that designers have pushed the seemingly limitless barriers of… Read the rest

I hid my husband.
In honor of this hilarious take on a recent news item out of Huntsville, AL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMtZfW2z9dw&feature=channel
...I hid my husband.
Actually, Jerremy won't be around this weekend. Sad face. So, I am trying to find ways to occupy my time.
True story: when I moved into my very first apartment without roommates, a man tried to break in during the middle of the night. He didn't get in
100 Word Stories @ Circe’s Laurel Arts Isle today
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.

ShopaholicFeed Lineup Changes
ShopaholicFeed is bringing back a new sub-feed. This one is for the Posers! With all the buz about pose creations lately, we’ve decided to bring back the Pose feed.

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 According To My Panties It’s Saturday
I’ve decided to simplify my life and stop wearing clothes on my Saturday posts. Really, it’s just so much simpler. No more WHAT TO WEAR WHAT TO WEAR. I’ll just wear nuttin or next to it.
AND YOU WILL LIKE IT OR ELSE!
It’s a good excuse to acquire new skins each week, too, isn’t it?

Fast! Easy! Fun!
...but, not necessarily in that order.
Today's in-world meeting with Philip and BK Linden used those three words a lot. I am all for making SL faster, easier and more fun. (Link to video or transcript of the talk.)
In a show of support for the new strategy, some creators have made shirts with the words! (I got this one at

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.

Just the Way I Roll…
Just about my favorite outfit inworld. When I’m working away and get sidetracked, but I’m in the middle of looking like a nightmare, I have this all ready in a folder “to go.” LOL! The shirt is a classic from Phoenix Rising, I’m especially fond of the loose tie. The pants are also from PR, but a different outfit! Seriously, that place is beyond… Read the rest
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.

Right now, it just occurred to me, how many times will I be able to write, “it’s that time again!” before I get sick of it… Anywho, it’s that time again.

Fodder for a Blog
How do you decide who or what gets into your blog and who or what doesn't? I think I have been guilty more often than I'd like to admit to using my blog as a way to get a message to someone or to make a point. That isn't necessarily a bad thing. But when I let someone hijack my blog by allowing them to occupy space here, it
