What's this? What's happening? What's going on?
As someone told me lately: "Everyone deserves the chance to fly" So there it is. A Wicked reference is as good a way as any to start a fairy themed blog post with, though there aren't any fairies in Wicked, as far as I know. Should I create a munchkin look instead? It's the end... Continue Reading →
I started the Christmas month this past Sunday by rolling out of my bed and slumping down on the sofa, landing straight into the start of Last Christmas that just happened to be on "old school" TV. With all those streaming services at our fingertips, it's refreshing to just watch what happens to be on... Continue Reading →
As far as I'm aware, this blog doesn't have much of a following, so it's only the rarest of regular reader who may have noticed that the regularity of my blog posts has greatly diminished since the beginning of 2023 and even more so over the course of this past year. Second Lifeâ„¢ is one... Continue Reading →
At last it has arrived, that one night of the year you can truly get the most out of that bewildering Halloween folder in your Second Lifeâ„¢ inventory. Who am I kidding, right? The vast majority of you have been doing that for most of the month already and a sizeable percentage of that group... Continue Reading →
The phrase "better angels of our nature" was popularised by President Abraham Lincoln, though apparently he didn't coin it. Nevertheless, it probably is one of the stronger thought provoking expressions used in an inauguration address. Sadly, as strong as that speech may have been, it did not stop the civil war.

It's a cliché that gay men aren't any good at sports and that fat kids always get picked last to join a team for games that require physical fitness. As mother nature, or whomever doles out these characteristics, saw fit to hit me with a double whammy (i.e. make me the fat gay kid), it... Continue Reading →
There's this increasing sense that life is in a real rush to get things over and done with, as if my life is an independent entity I have zero control over. Time is a monster in a relentless pursuit of my energy and my very essence. Time is the Skeksis and I'm a Gelfling. In... Continue Reading →
Let's be honest, Second Lifeâ„¢ isn't a properly fulfilling substitute for a happy real life, but who can blame us for escaping into this fantasy world even if it doesn't truly promote mental health. Many of us will create a Second Life that is so painfully perfect, our real lives will never measure up to... Continue Reading →
I haven't been in Second Lifeâ„¢ lately, especially this past week. My workdays are long and while I still enjoy styling my avatar and the occasional bit of tweaking of the decor in one of my virtual homes, I have to admit that when I come home late, Netflix and the sofa has been a...

Ain't gonna lie, I haven't been spending an awful lot of time in Second Lifeâ„¢ lately. It's due to a combination of circumstances. While I was on sick leave after breaking my shoulder at the beginning of this year, I got more into the habit of binge watching series and these days the streaming services... Continue Reading →
