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…
Bandana Day 2015, remove your hair to show you care
Every year, since 2007, the annual Hair Fair in Second Life ends with a Bandana Day. A day to remove our hair, and show support for the charity which the Hair Fair is all about: Wigs for Kids. While I have blogged the past years about the Hair Fair, this year due to all kind…
Apple Island, a raw exploring trip
By accident, while browsing the Marketplace for a necklace, I hit a ‘visit this item inworld’ button and since the viewer popped up the landmark I thought I might as well go see the item inworld! The store I was browsing on MP was Imeka and once I teleported over inworld, I ended up in…
“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…
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…
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…
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 – so many interviews, so little time!
The past week I have attended all the interviews with the Lindens in the Dreamitarium, and enjoyed them all. Of course, there was not just the talks with the Lindens – although they were for most perhaps the main attraction, but there was more!
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…
SL12B, What Dreams May Come
Hard to miss, but in case you did: this weekend SL12B opened, 15 regions filled with resident-made expositions to celebrate Second Life’s 12th Anniversary. From the press release: Spanning 15 regions with over 200 exhibits and more than 600 performers, disk jockeys and speakers, SL12B is a showcase for the accomplishments and content of all…
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…
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…
