When my friend Kerena pointed me to Valyria, Calas Galadhon’s Halloween 2015 sim, I was a bit hesitant to go there. Not that I thought it wouldn’t be well made, but well:…Halloween. Not my thing. Never was, never will be. However, to my delight Valyria is not your ordinary, filled with ghosts-and-pumpkin-zombie sim. Nope. I…

Miyagawacho Hanawachi
Summer has ended and seems to have gone over into winter – skipping Autumn at all, as yesterday it was a lovely sunny day and I could even sit outside in the warm sun wearing a t-shirt and this morning I had to put on gloves, scarf and hat (and a thick winter-coat) since it…

Failure to thrive – The Gray Child
This afternoon I have explored and enjoyed a new installation on LEA15 by Storm Septimus, called: ‘Failure to Thrive – The Gray Child‘. A wonderful, magical, place in a globe/sphere, filled with scenes and objects on water. Since it is built in a globe the artist strongly advises to use windlight ‘Places Las Legunas’ and…
Garden of Eden
Tonight I spent quite some time in a lovely – new to me – place called: Garden of Eden. According to the information this gorgeous place is inspired and built after the paintings of Thomas Cole ‘The Voyage of life’ and ‘The Expulsion of The Garden of Eden’ and once you have seen those paintings…
Paleo Quest – How I got eaten by a plant and killed by spiders…
A few weeks ago Linden Lab launched their new interactive game Paleo Quest in Second Life and today I finally got in the right mood for some old fashioned exploring and asked my friend Pepys to join me in this adventure. Because I am 1) not good in games/quests and 2) these things are always…
Coobs and Caity – The Dragon Whisperers
It was a warm, slow, summer evening and Coobs and Caity went for a nice walk in a quiet and peaceful Vineyard, on a sim far away. They chatted and occasionally had some silent moments, enjoying the environment and letting the busy day behind them. Coobs suddenly stopped. ‘I hear something’ he whispered ‘be quiet!’, …
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….
Electrobit City – ‘You’ve died, and have been thrown from this reality! ‘
Those of you following me and my adventures on this blog know I am a terrible gamer. I just cannot play video games that require moving, shooting, running and escaping even if my real life would depend on it. I do like how it all looks though and I guess that’s my problem: I love…
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…
Dreamers – by Cica Ghost
Cica Ghost must be one of Second Life’s most productive artists, or so it seems to me.This morning I visited her latest art installation ‘Dreamers’ and as with all the works of this talented artist, I was delighted! Dreamers is placed in a half globe, or canopied as it is called, and is a magical…
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…
Ironwood Hills, what happened behind those rusty gates?
Of all my big plans to visit the SL12B regions this week, and blog about them, nothing happened. What did happen was too much real life, taking up all my time and energy and took away the inspiration to explore and write for some days. And still a bit. All will be fine, it is…
SL12B, The Ixtlan Stage and Patch and Dee Linden talked in the Auditorium
Last night I was really looking forward to attending the interview by Saffia Widdershin in the Auditorium, where she would talk to Patch and Dee Linden. I was on time and even had some time left to visit and explore the magnificent Ixtlan Stage on the Dazzle sim! A wonderful, magical, build with tunnels and…
The Velociraptor, a pre-petroleum person
“You’re not allowed to call them dinosaurs anymore,” said Yo-less. “It’s speciesist. You have to call them pre-petroleum persons.” ― Terry Pratchett What am I on about? A post on speciesm? Jurassic Park? Not the Momma? Don’t worry, I am fine. I just picked up the limited, commemorative celebatory special edition (etc.etc.) ‘Velociraptor’ avatar, available…
Crestwick Island, have a seat in this sleepy town…
Thanks to the (as always!) gorgeous pictures by Skip Staheli on Facebook and his Flickr, I ended up in Crestwick Island today. A small, sleepy, working class town surrounded by the sea and mountains. Crestwick Island has a great atmosphere and it really felt like I was doing some shopping on a day off, while…
