Trying out a new look (with teeth!)


Being home alone, in a lousy summer with nothing but black clouds and rain leaves me bored….so I ended up shopping in Second Life on a quest for new shops with things to try out and to dress up myself! So, today I tried  very (!!) blonde hair and a white outfit. A nice change…

Dream


‘Sweet dreams till sun beams find you Sweet dreams that leave our worries behind you But in your dreams, whatever they be Dream a little dream of me…’ (The Mamas and the Papas) Uh oh…an edit! Because this post has a special meaning to me, it is actually kind of personal but not a secret, …

On my way!


Being an explorer/shopper in Second Life requires planning! Yeah yeah, there is teleporting and LM’s and whatnot, but still. I usually plan my travels carefully, as I do in real life and if anyone thinks I just randomly hit some buttons…..wrong! First thing is: getting dressed appropriate! And stylish, if possible! Then secondly it’s important…

Coffee and a Croissant, please


Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. It may be because I always wake up hungry… Since the summer in Holland is more than sad (it feels like it’s October already) I have not had the chance yet to have my coffee and croissant outside in the morning sun. I wonder if this is…

Cars, Tractors and other vehicles…


On my first two days of my break I have fiddled around in Photoshop, trying to create a nice artistic version of the beloved car of my friend. A cool ‘project’ and I really enjoyed messing about with it – and was happy to send him the original for perhaps a nice print on canvas….

Back home!


After some nice days in the UK I got back in Holland tonight. And when logging in: a viewer update to 2.8. Am fiddling now with the new profile and the feeds, it’s like having a twitter in your inworldprofile, exciting! Also, the environmental settings are different I noticed! Will go play with the new…

Strawberry Beach


As I am writing this post, it suddenly seems like all I can write about the past days is food-related! Corn, milk and cream and now strawberries…I suspect it has to do with the fact that I still can’t eat well..Heh! Strawberry Beach is the parcel next to my home on the mainland, a 512…

My Sunday afternoon


Since it kept raining and raining all weekend….I spent most of my Sunday afternoon getting the laundry done and even started packing for my upcoming travel. Usually I pack my suitcase just before I leave to the office, but oh well…maybe it’s nice to have it all ready for a change? Although I now fear…

Norway


What can I say…my heart goes out to Norway, in this tragic weekend. Shock and horror allover. My deepest sympathy and warm hugs to my Norwegian friends in SL, I hope they are okay and well.

The Pixel Bean Coffeehouse


Last night, just before I was going to try to get some dinner (I still can’t chew without pain, so I am not looking forwards to eating..), I got an IM from Don. He and his friends were sitting and chatting in their hangout ‘The Pixel Bean Coffeehouse’ and listening to Amy Winehouse songs. If…

Scrubbing the week off


Ah bless the Friday night! After a turbulent week with elbow-troubles, root canal misery and other assorted worries….All turned out okay in the end. Well, kind of! To symbolically scrub off this week and get all clean and fresh for the next…A nice, long hot bath and a facial mask did wonders! Bathroom: [What next}…

Viewer update: that went well!


When logging in today, I got the message for a Viewer update. Not having anything urgent to do, I gave it a go. When I came online, all I saw was some prims I was wearing and my avatar was missing. As in gone. Not visible! Heh! What a shame, because I think the last…

The ignore-option


Sometimes I wish I could use the ignore- or mute option in Real life. I tried to ignore a tooth-ache all weekend, it started Friday night and slightly got worse. The pills I take for the pain in my elbow also helped to ease the tooth-ache a bit. Anyway, Mondaymorning I woke up with the…

Ready for a new week!


I have not been inworld much this weekend. Not because it is supposed to be summer, it’s been raining non-stop and I really had to drag myself to the supermarket to get the empty fridge filled, but mostly because the fracture in my right-elbow is bugging me and it hurts to use the mouse. The…

The awful ‘edit’ option…


Heh! I have entertained myself on my new land and did some serious decorating! For now I am happy enough with the ground level, as it looks kinda cute and I managed to keep it low-prim as well. My sky-loft was a bit more tricky. I am not a great builder (one would think I…
