I love my Second Life; my friends, my music streams, my favorite places. I love going to events in Steelhead and virtual church on Epiphany Island, and dancing at Cafe Wellstone on the mainland. I actually love the “old” Mainland areas where water, roads, rail, and quality builds make for a nice experience exploring or hanging out. I don’t love blingtards, or boobtards (pix!), or abandoned parcels littered with crashed police cars and random doors and bullets hanging 30m up in midair. I don’t love drama; I do love comedy. I don’t love Bug’s last name, as she used to…

Here’s the SLuniverse thread on the recent acquisition of Blue Mars by Ball State University. One post referenced the Blue Mars blog; the original press release had been pulled pending contracts. Many of you have been asking about last week’s announcement by Ball State University. Specifically, many of you have noted that the press release was pulled earlier this week. The press release was removed due to some contracts that have yet to be finalized and signed. Once that happens, we will release more information about the deal. This is pure speculation on my part, but I wonder if one…

Hmm, not sure what that line is in the middle, may be a graphic artifact, glitch, whatnot. But Epic Toy Factory… is epic. Bug Cowers At The Entrance of Epic Toy Factory, originally uploaded by Lelani Carver.

Made it to Labbieville. Screaming toddler was screaming. Parents seemed clueless, changed diaper with kid nakedy-jaybird across lap. # He (most definitely he) was probably too big for the fold-down change table in the lav. # @vicwu Must have been! # About to "fly" out of Labbieville. Teleportation is sooo much simpler. # @daftapeth We watch 5-0 too, its funny how many Camaros Avis had on the lot! # We may have stumbled across a film crew in Honolulu; a street was blocked off near the Bishop Museum. Traffic a mess, police tape too. # Wheels down ORD. Next time,…

My young ward Bug has been getting in touch with her inner Jaegermädchen. She’s mostly green these days since she went on the Jaegerdraught Hunt and “drank the koolaid.” Here she is, out on the Steam Hunt 6 course, searching for treasure underwater in a dive helmet kindly provided by one of the hunt merchants. She like snappy uniforms and nice hats. As it happens, my typist took a picture of the very thing that Bug craves: If you look quite carefully, you will of course see that this is a WUMMAN. The men’s version came with a horse.…

Belated update: this post got “stuck”in draft form until our return to a more civilized level of bandwidth. We returned Sunday and I have only just begun to recover from the trauma of traveling from Tropical Paradise to Midwestern Purgatory. However, the Outworld Cat, Lord of All Housemonkeys is glad to be home from the Kitty Spa. See below for a bit of my Outworld adventures. I’ve been in the chosen land of my birth for some 10 days; although unable to get inworld on the asthmatic wheeze laughably known as my laptop, I have been enjoying a time of…

Off-grid vacation almost over. We were a little TOO off grid the last 4 days, actually longing for home, bed, but not snow. # @SecondLie Can't wait for Hamlet's soliloquiy on that one. # @revpaperboy O RLY? Must search http://t.co/cRzWKoYr for your dulcet tones. # You know the vacation's over when the TP runs out and housekeeping is waiting until checkout time. # @revpaperboy Looking forward to it. You'll announce in group, Comrade Boozehound? # My partner keeps checking our home webcam, which shows a driveway full of snow. #alohaHawaii # @daftapeth In my dreams! My normal location got snow…

@binaryblevins So sorry! Would it help if I told you it was raining? 😉 # @vicwu The slack-jawed individual in the front table might have objected strenuously. But I've done that at the health club! # @DaleInnis Congratulations on becoming one of the BIC (Blogroll Inner Core) # @isfullofcrap @DaleInnis Seemed appropriate as it's about writing. # Typist is on holiday in her imagined birthplace. #
