Dark days are ahead of us, literally. Yesterday was a rarity for me. I've got some time off and I actually managed to get the very most out of what turned out to be an extremely nice autumn day. I squeezed every last bit of sunlight out of it and I hope I will get... Continue Reading →
Virtual Beach Therapy – Episode 12
For this episode of Virtual Beach Therapy I went in search of something a bit more rugged rather than tropical and thus I stumbled across Soul2Soul Highlands in the destination guide. The creator of this enchanting Scottish Isle was inspired by the landscape of the Inner Hebrides islands off the Western coast of Scotland and... Continue Reading →
Putting the “short” in shorts – Episode 6
Hey there Beaver fans. So you've found your way to another episode of my blog series with an unnatural focus on very short shorts. As someone who lives in Stockholm in the middle of a wet and dreary September, where else than in Second Lifeâ„¢ am I going to see these. Although, to be fair,... Continue Reading →
Virtual Beach Therapy – Episode 11
Last Friday I "officially" binge-watched a series on Netflix. I tend to pace myself and watch two or most three episodes in one sitting of any series, but I got so totally pulled in by the cuteness of Heartstopper, I simply couldn't stop watching. I was quickly catching feels for that little LGBTQ+ show with... Continue Reading →
This is not the end
As the LGBTQ+ pride month is now behind us and our corporate "allies" are rapidly pulling that rainbow filter from their logos and Facebook pages, let us remind ourselves that the fight isn't over yet. There are still too many countries in the world where a same sex partnership isn't an option, too many places... Continue Reading →
Virtual Beach Therapy – Episode 10
This day started off very lazily for me and I praise my lucky stars that at least his is one of the luxuries I do have in my life. I opened my bedroom window, but left the curtains drawn, letting in just enough fresh air and soft light to gently wake me up. Then I... Continue Reading →
Locker Room Talk

These days I've personally occasionally had the feeling that any talk about the possible outbreak of a... Continue Reading →
Let’s get real – Episode 1
Maybe it's writer's block, but I couldn't think of anything Second Lifeâ„¢ related to write about, so I thought I'd start up another subseries in this blog, dedicated to day-to-day real life stuff. Maybe you couldn't care less, but at least it'll be an outlet for myself. Let's start with the good old chestnut and... Continue Reading →
Putting the “short” in shorts – Episode 4
Right! After all the christmassy stuf, unpacking a tower of gifts and some frustrating Second Lifeâ„¢ neck seam gazing, I now have to take a break from winter, even if it's just a virtual escape. A return to my series on (obscenely) short shorts was exactly what the doctor ordered. Actually, I have heard that... Continue Reading →
Partridge in a Pear Tree – Episode 34
The holiday season round of Man Cave is the usual veritable treasure trove of gifts, making it the perfect subject for another episode of Partridge in a Pear Tree. I've counted over 90 of them and though it was a chore to unpack them all, it definitely wasn't a bore. You've got until January 11th... Continue Reading →
