The past days – I have been less active online and in-world, and enjoyed a bit of a summerbreak which I spend in real life. Not that the weather is super, but there have been some days without rain (!) and the weatherman on tv has promised some nice sunny days at the end of…

Girls Night Out : Wipe Out!
After our previous ‘Girls Night Outs’ in which we went horse-riding and kayaking, we thought it was about time we had another field trip with some action, drinks and chats! So this time we decided to go surfing, a fun sport and so easy in SL – compared to the RL version! We (Becky, Kerena,…
Summertime ramblings and Junk
For me summer always really starts after 7 August. Of course technically it starts earlier, but I can always really start to enjoy the weather once I’ve dealt with some sad anniversaries in July, and then the last being 7 August, the day my Mom passed away. Yes, that is 14 years ago, but still….
About 5AM breakfasts, Indonesian dinners, London city and many Mojitos
When I first set foot in the unknown, to me, internet in 1994 – I soon was warned by people (on- and offline) to be extremely careful with my information when it came to real life (although we didn’t call it ‘real life’ then, I think we called it just real information), because: stalkers and…
Topless Sailors, cruising around the ocean
The other week my friend Pepys wanted to cheer me up a bit and said he would take me out for the evening. Well, that got me all excited of course, not being used to that often, so when he told me to be ready at 11AM ..I was! All dressed up pretty and looking…
And so, I was a real model for an hour…
One of the things I have had on my wishlist in Second Life, was to have my portrait made by Skip Staheli. I’ve admired his work for ages and always enjoy his photo’s on Flickr. Sure I can do my own pics, but I just wanted one of those beautiful portraits that Skip creates. Because…
Adiós Don
My blog-post yesterday was one of few words, published while in a total shock and with hands too shakey to be able to type, just within an hour after I received Grazia’s phone-call with the news I was so afraid of to get. Don (Don.Mill), my beloved, wonderful, witty, warm, caring, smart and very brave…
Last dance
Words fail me. My heart hurts so much. Don, my best friend, is no longer with us. I will miss him so so much. Rest well, brave, wonderful friend.
“You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.”
The quote I used as subject for this post is from Jack London, not something I was so smart to come up with! But when I read it, at first I thought: oh hell yes! And then after a while, I changed my mind and decided it does not work that way for me. Maybe…
And then there was #ImmersiveDrax and #FlatDrax
Yesterday, while I was relaxing with my first glass of chilled wine of the week, I checked twitter and saw hilarious pictures of Draxtor Depres in all kinds of situations, wearing his OC Rift and being totally immersed. A meme, as it goes, fast and growing, started by Loki Eliot and soon followed by many…
Second Life, the place I visit because my friends live there…
The past week has been, in real life, very stressful – as I mentioned briefly in another blogpost. It wasn’t just the time of year and week of my Mom’s birthday (the 4th of July) which always seems to bring me in a melancholic mood this time, although that was a part of it as…
The 4th of July: Many years have passed since those summer days
‘Many years have passed since those summer days Among the fields of barley See the children run as the sun goes down Among the fields of gold You’ll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You can tell the sun in his jealous sky When we walked in fields of…
What Second Life means to me
Today Xiola Linden posted a blog and a thread, for Second Life’s 12th anniversary, including a YouTube videoclip with theme’What Second Life means to me’. A wonderful video, made by Torley, and within minutes Strawberry Singh posted hers – made by Draxtor. The idea is, to have residents make a video and share their view…
When an explorer has ‘the meh’…
Bloggers-block, having no inspiration, real-life distractions or just a simple and utter case of ‘the meh’…I think everyone who has a blog, knows all those feelings. I, too, experience it every now and then. And it is not because I cannot find places to explore, pics to take and what not…no no, I am doing…
Caity 3.0 – A follow up
Now that I have worn my mesh head for over a week – exclusively – I had have plenty of time to figure out appliers for make-up and skin and got some other colours of the hair that Lelutka released as well and thought it would be nice to show off how I look nowadays….
