Song/Video/New Shop: It’s Springtime, Babeeeee! LOL!

Song/Video/New Shop: It’s Springtime, Babeeeee! LOL!

I’m going to cover a lot of ground in this post since I am so friggin’ busy in the first life starting on a couple of new work projects, a new commission, Spring cleaning for guest arrival on Mother’s Day (Meatballs!) … AND in SL trying to set up my new “Neo 1900″ shop, hopefully [...]


Travelogue: Day of Remembrance 2009

Travelogue: Day of Remembrance 2009

Since we take Sunday and Monday off now for refreshing and revitalizing, and for me, Spring Cleaning and lesson planning!, I will return tomorrow with the Song of the Week. In lieu of that I wanted to share a short piece on a trip Doc and I had the pleasure of taking on Saturday evening. [...]


Comic: “Never Bored in SL” by Miss Mussy

Comic: “Never Bored in SL” by Miss Mussy

This week Miss Mussy begins the task of dispelling the myth that “there is nothing to do in SL.” *laughs* Honestly, I can’t believe anyone thinks that, but they do. I met a new arrival this morning who did, at first. By the end of our lengthy conversation (at a distance via IM, mostly, because [...]


My “partner in song” to join me … lol

My “partner in song” to join me … lol

I asked Doc if he would co-write a few things with me every now and then and he said “yes” … This is the official announcement … lol … that way maybe he won’t back out … ;=) Ahem. *straightens her shoulders and in her most official voice says* … “Welcome Dr. Heliosense. Lookin’ forward [...]


Travelogue: mellifera

Travelogue: mellifera

Fame is a bee. / It has a song / It has a sting / Ah, too, it has a wing.~Emily Dickinson I thought an old cabinet card most appropriate for this most interesting exhibit inspired by honey bees! At the behest of the NPIRL inworld group, Doc and I toured the mellifera project, a [...]


Stardoll: Artsy Crafty Meets Fashion Fair Meets Social Networking

Stardoll: Artsy Crafty Meets Fashion Fair Meets Social Networking

I like it! In my ongoing quest for VR material I can fold into papers somehow, and to see what’s happening in the world of the virtual beyond Second Life, I ran into another interesting sort of world called stardoll. A really nicely done Flash-based fashion and beauty game that started out as a geocities [...]


Song of the Week: If today was your last day

Song of the Week: If today was your last day

I (obviously …lol) love this song (and these rockin’ Canadians) called “If Today Was Your Last Day” by Nickelback off their Dark Horse album, and have been singing it all weekend so I thought I’d make a little show with the picatures I took with Doc last week for my “Song of the Week” thing. [...]

*smiles*

Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. “Pooh,” he whispered. “Yes, Piglet?” “Nothing,” said Piglet, taking Pooh’s paw, “I just wanted to be sure of you.” ~Winnie the Pooh I’ve always loved that sweet lil’ bitto’ Pooh wisdom … and, it seemed so appropriate in expressing this day … the end of a long week, [...]


Miss Mussy thinks about the “Adult” Rating System

Miss Mussy thinks about the “Adult” Rating System

Today I was inspired by reading a great post (first in a series of Eloise‘s eloquent thoughts on Linden Labs adult rating issue.) I am in agreement for the most part. My take, however, may be slightly different … ;=)

Song of the Week: TYT (Take Your Time)

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] “I am a little (okay, a lot) emo, but not “emu” … ” “TGFT!” he replied. (Inside joke. Sorry!) LOL! Anyway! My song, or should I say “our” song this week is Take Your Time by Al Green and Corinne Bailey Rae off the Lay It Down album. [...]


Happy Easter (Eggs)!

Happy Easter (Eggs)!

*smiles* I made these Easter eggs when I first came to SL with some of Torley’s textures… I recall fondly that I filled my entire land with them that first year! This year, just our reflection pool. Have a great weekend, and … Happy Egg Day! My messy first life dining room awaits… ;=)


The tour of “home” begins: Fatima’s Isles

The tour of “home” begins: Fatima’s Isles

OMG! I had no idea until yesterday that there are 20 sims in the estate I live in … *laughs* When I was talking to Fatima yesterday morning she told me at Christmas she had 31 … dear lord, I have no idea how a person manages that much and also builds up a storm, [...]


Neen and the new place

Neen and the new place

There are days when buildering is just a bitch. I can’t figure things out on my own, and I don’t even know what key words to use to search for an answer online or in the forums. That’s when I call Neener. Well, I didn’t actually call him today, but he must have known I [...]


NYT Crossword = DONE!

NYT Crossword = DONE!

wooooooooohooooo! UPDATE 4/8: Done! HA! I was not going to give up … got a wee stuck on the yacht/time share … but oh no … friggin’ got it! (I really like wordage-y things!) Oh yeah. My friggin’ life is so not mundane! *laughs* My FL partner and I do the New York Times crossword [...]

The Sweet sLife … ;=) (and I’m moving, again.)

you get what you give, and then some. Oh! This is my last post here. I am moving for the last time to my final resting space… *laughs* I’ve had the domain for awhile (obvious, eh?) Anyway, it’s about time I started using it since I pay for it, you know? I haven’t decided yet [...]

pfft …next


Hmmm. It works. ;=)

Hmmm. It works. ;=)

Okay. I’ve had this place for, I don’t know, what seems like 10 years, or something. I think it’s about time to actually start using it. At the least, I’m going to play around with it until an idea comes to me. I’m not quite sure what exactly, but here goes something, or nothing, as [...]

tree bushes

I offered these pretty fuzzy shrubs for backgrounds for the Giving Tree project … *laughs* dumbasses. I need to take a better picture of them, I guess.


Missing my sim.

Missing my sim.

Just thinking this morning, after chatting with Venk, how I’m really, seriously, without a doubt missing having a place of my own. I don’t know, but my second life is just not the same without a “place.” I don’t know what it is. Maybe I’m just a “nester,” or something, but not having a “nest” [...]
