It was the love of love, the love that swallows up all else, a grateful love, a love of nature, of people, of animals, a love engendering gentleness and goodness that moved me and that I saw in you. ~William Carlos Williams Today I realize, once again, how fabulously wonderful my life is (both of [...]
Oh, yes. It’s the simple things. Mmmhmm.
I have learned by some experience, by many examples, and by the writings of countless others before me, also occupied in the search, that certain environments, certain modes of life, certain rules of conduct are more conducive to inner and outer harmony than others. There are, in fact, certain roads that one may follow. Simplification [...]
It’s all about … the “Joy Juice”
Mel, Venk, and Art partaking of the “Arteer’s Joy Juice: Intoxicatingly Detoxing Essence of Carrot-tops” (Yes, some days I make buildings and tables, and some days I make cocktails. But really when it comes right down to it, it’s about making (and keeping) friendships alive, in both lifes.) I’ve been thinking about this a lot [...]
Partay (whew)
I used up all my social energy in one night, so now I won’t need to go anywhere again for awhile. Don’t ever let anyone tell you we don’t carry over our “real” selves into our second life. I, too, am one of those who does not function well in large groups of people. I [...]
Reminder: Must leave sim once in a while
*laughs* (… and improve my posture for picature taking.) “It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson I hardly ever seem to go out anymore! This is Sep this morning reminding me how important it is to get out and get [...]

…someone asked about: Thai Mayo
Someone IM’d me to ask if I made my own Thai Mayonnaise for the skinny wraps, or if I used a commercial brand. I buy it two jars at a time here at a local Asian market because I (and they!) run out of it so fast. I did see it on Amazon, here, however, [...]
sweet irony (or the joys of grocery shopping at 3am)
Damn. I love first life. I have a tendency to shop in the wee hours of the morning, first, because I can’t sleep, and second, so that I don’t have to stand in line. I *did* have to stand in line this morning, and I wish I had had my camera in my pocket if [...]
V’Day Best “Love” Quote
A quote applicable fairly well across lifes: “I love you so much, it’s retarded.” ~from “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” (which I viewed today, and loved it. Rife with the silliness of young love! Who couldn’t like that?) Craziness abounds in both lifes at the moment. Keeping busy building the new SIM, making some new [...]
