What's this? What's happening? What's going on?
One of the more costly items one can purchase in Second Lifeā¢ to make the most of one's avatar's appearance, is a mesh head. These puzzled me at first, as did mesh bodies for that matter. I didn't quite know yet why some avatars looked so smooth and polished, while I was seeing unsightly creases... Continue Reading →
Hope is the thing with feathersThat perches in the soul,And sings the tune without the words,And never stops at all, And sweetest in the gale is heard;And sore must be the stormThat could abash the little birdThat kept so many warm. I've heard it in the chillest land,And on the strangest sea;Yet, never, in extremity,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 →

I don't know how long this... Continue Reading →

As far as I can tell, the floodgates to the wicked spookiness are usually opened at the start of September in our favourite virtual world. In real life, while the American... Continue Reading →
Ain't gonna lie, I haven't been spending an awful lot of time in Second Lifeā¢ 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 →
We're a little over a week into pride month and it's rainbow flags as far as the eye can see and of course also a lot of nagging little bitches who have "nothing against gay people", but who "wish we didn't ram it down their throats." Oh honey, you'd know if I were ramming it... Continue Reading →
Hello possums ! That greeting is an ode to the late, great Dame Edna Everage, who passed away on April 22nd. Her iconic butterfly-winged glasses reminded me that sometimes one just has to spread one's wings and fly. In real life we can only do this metaphorically by stepping out our comfort zone, or somewhat... Continue Reading →
Whether you regard it as wishy washy pseudo science or not, colours have meaning. Maybe you don't have a strong favourite, but subconsciously you still may find yourself drawn to certain colours. In my job as a graphic designer I'm pretty much tied down by the company identity and corporate dark blue that goes with... Continue Reading →
