Burning

Well, if I could be bothered......this is what I'd email to the Linden Boys.....

Dear Boys,
Now, you knew htere were gonna be a few people turn up to see the burning, you been advertising it all week on my screen when I log in......SO, well, dont you think you should have made a few arrangements, sort of to allow for all the interested parties...???
Now, if I was in charge, I would know that the old Lets-Meet-At-The- Joining- Point -Of-4-Sims trick just wouldnt cut the mustard...and...surprise...it was crap......

Well, this is beans photo of the Burning...... hmmmm




I got a photo, straight from the event, this is Daaneth Kivioq going out to burn the man, followed by all his lampbearers...
great...... now, he had a lot of trouble walking, the rest of us were totally immobilized..... dont you think a dragon avi is a bit ambitious? a squirrel might haver been better..or something low-prim....???.. well, I know nothing and so I crashed like ,well, the whole sim??? not sure, cos i couldnt get back in to do my Investigative Reporting for you guys...
but I did here someone shout...."bugger, I can only see a leg and it pretty tame"...now I assume that the first to suffer in high lag are the effects...like fire....but what do I know....

New Tree, the 24th Ancient

Well, its not quite finished but its nearly there...
Thought I'd show you anyway....



Well, crashed twice last night within an hour, so the fix was obviously a normal one....hehehee.....
Got lots of nice comments from people about my show at Burning Life, but its really laggy there, so best visit when theres fewer people online........ if that helps... .seems to be better sometimes...
If its all just too much then most of my new flowers are out on the beach, and the new trees are up in the cloudshop, the bog extention..

Moving in RL, so up to my eyes in boxes and stuff....lol.....

Fixing the fix....

Well, last week we had a fix, then immediately a compulsory fix to fix the fix,.....
now, we assume a fix to fix the fix fix........
but who will fix the fixers.....???

Obviously the fixers cant fix the fixers fix, or it would all be OK....

Maybe outside help, like a team of hard-wired squirrels or ..hmmm....some professionals..... don't the A-Team live out west....

Anyway, while they are playing with their tunnels and things, I thought you might like to see some more of my paintings...



I forget what this ones called, written it down somewhere.....its a little 12"x 12" oil on board abstract landscape....Third Life.....:)))

Oh well, when SL suffers, Blender whirrrrrrsssss.....

Burning Life, (Diablo) 80,114,24, (got it right)

Well, the festival kicks off tomorrow, and I am ready, my site is pretty jammed full of my stuff



Seems like the colours are working nicely together,...



and I'm quite pleased with the results...



If you get a chance to drop in for a look, please do so....

Burning Life, (Diablo) 80,114,24

Talk about art reflecting life....... First I find a great house in rl..... then, I entered a Lottery in SL for land parcels at Burning Life, (thx Roy for telling me about Burning Life) and I won. I got a parcel of land, 2096M to build my stuff on, before it all gets deleted after the Burning.

So, I didn't know anything about the Burning Man before this........ Its a big festival of art and music that happens in the desert every year.... and no trace is left when they leave.




So here, theres 22 sims of art...



and , of course, I thought it would be great to bring some flowers and trees here.....

Well, I'm hoping to be finished for the 24th , which is when it sort of starts.... and the Burning is on the 1st October, I think, but, you know me, I will give you all the right details, eventually.....

Kaltusaran Moonsoo

Well, after being kept waiting for nearly a week, Kalt has at last learned that he has got 2nd Place in the flower competition.
Now, no sour grapes here, the judges decision is always final, but I think they all need glasses.....
hmmmm...
:):):)

Oh no....

Well, just when I'm ready to get back online and find a good photo for this page........ its all closed down for some prim fiddling, well, probably not prim-fiddling, that's what I wanna do, for another "fix".....hmmmm, not very impressed.....
Previous fixes have been of dubious quality ...
In fact, how many fixes can we actually need, surely with all this practice they would have got it right by now???
I usually manage to fix things first time, or if I really screw up, on the second attempt....
But to fix the same thing on a weekly basis....hmmm..... oh, well, blender here I come..

:)

I'm back

Offline......omg

Well, It's a bit of a shock being im rl for 48 hours without so much as touching a prim, and I only managed to write this because of a friends puter, which I have managed to get my hands on....

and, you may ask, what am I doing, out in the real world for 48 hours with no tp possibilities....well, I'm looking for a house to over-winter in, and the good news is....that I found a beaut........ so I won't have to sleep under any hedgerows this winter....:) very cool.

so......I expect building work to continue shortly on the bog...

seeya tomorrow night... all being well

Bloody Hippies at 1-800-flowers

Well, its all very well and good, organising a competition to see who can make the best flowers in SL.....
1-800-flowers........
btu when you put off announcing the winners....and dont tell anyone........ are they all West Coast hippies...?????
Not good enough ....
Lax...



Well we got so bored of wating, we had to amuse ourselves.... the announcement should have been the 13th....hmmmm



The rodent went into deep trancendental meditation.....



And I went and made plants.....
and wrote and complained to everyone I could

not amused of Lifstaen...

Two Big Prims

Well, I said I'd show you........

The hot weather continues..

Well, its understandable that dancing in this hot weather can make you want to throw off some clothes but a few people went the whole hog at Callisto last night , which could have caused a bit of a stir....

Anyway, at least one of the DJ's was a litttle more careful about what the general public was offered, visually, that is....



and I met a person called J C Anvil who was very complimentary about my work and showed me his beach house and beach, nice, very laid back style...



but the big thing was for me the chance to see my two prim tree done with giant prims....hehhhe.... I know the Linden Boys don't like em, but it was HUGE.....hehhhee... rather impractical, my camera couldn't get far enough away to see what I was doing....

but I'm getting the photo developed so I can show u tomorrow

Sand pit days

Days in the sand pit doing some building, rather antisocial, I know but I need to get some new plants for the bog...



This is one of Kalts latest trees and not one of his weird, 'mad squirrel' trees... absolutely stunningly crisp detail..



and this is my Bog Lilly, discovered in some secret little nook on Lifstaen, the island where I live, its one of a number of plants which we hope to show to the general public in our exhibition of Flora Virtua Exotica, plants brought back by the great plant hunters from the far reaches of the known world (sponsered by TREEWORKS) for your enjoyment, in the new gallery currently under construction next to the Cloud Shop....

Watch this space for details of the opening...

Beach and bugs

Well, the Linden Boys keep asking me if Second life is getting better or worse....well, MY life in Second is getting better, thankyou very much, but not because of anything they've done, except, of course, keeping the whole thing tied together with bits of string so I can get online. So I keep having to answer NO, and they dont give me a chance to explain, cos the box where I could give my opinion is always noy working....lol.....get your boxes together, boys....

Ah, well, we keeep drowning propective customers due to a bug in the TP system, and I have written a note of apology to the people who get dunked on their way, and stuck it on the ocean bed, which is where they end up....... not really the way to do business, is it



So, apart from the odd trip to the sand box, I have found it safer on the beach, having crashed about 10 times yesterday, lost count actually.....

The weather continues fine.......

Civil engineering in the bog.

Making sure that the risk assessment meets with my approval, Kalt went bog diving yesterday.



He was looking into ways of draining the bog, or at least getting some fresher water in there



Our hopes of opening to the public have been slowed down a bit, cos the infrastructure isn't really in place yet.... still patience is a virtue... they say; on the other hand 'they' say a lot of old tripe at times...

Eyes

Well, my first modelling engagement was a very speedy and no-nonsense one, Mr Darkholme needed me for a photoshoot and I downed tools and lept to his assisstance.... as you can see from above. Now I was quite willing to wear a wig for the occassion but he was adamant that all would be well....... having seen the advert, I must say that those eyes do NOT go with my natural colouring, but, well, its his product, so.....

Otherwise beeen building like a mad woman, and its taken me two days hard work to get the tex right for my new orchid, the Greater Spottted Orchid, which, if I can be honest, is one of my best pieces of work so far.... photos tomorrrow.....

Crashed a few times ...... seems the bug season is still in full swing.

Autumnal colours

Some new trees by Mr. Moonsoo at the cloud shop, TREEWORKS, just use the Picks in my Profile to tp, if u fancy a look...



Ah, those wonderful colours...



Well, the bugs are out in full force now that autumn is approaching......and Blogger even gives theirs a name...bX-qeihpe, was the one stopping me uploading....oh, well, not as bad as the Linden boys who have bugs in all sorts of crevices... poor Kalt.....5 hours of his day gone, just trying to log on......and I'm sure its not a sort of squirrel prejudice, but a wider bug population....
made me wonder if the Total Resident Population also included the insect life, and what proportion were tunneling their little way through the secret connections and valves in my puter....

doesnt bear thinking about.....

lol

Moody

Well, Kaltusaran and I have been busy..... girl and squirrel beavering away on a mouse til the moon was up and we couldn't see to work any more.

We're discovering new life forms in the marsh bog of the island and will no doubt be able to let visitors in, in a few days, if all goes well...




I've been to classes at ASL.....can fully recommend it... in Search, go to Events and type in ^ASL^ and you will see a list of courses and their times...
Went to a beginners scripting class and a sculptie for beginners one....... cool



The bugs seem to have hibernated for the moment and all seems somewhat normal........fingers crossed....

Kaseys New House

Well, this is Izabella and i sitting, chatting, in Kasey's new house, we had tried to go out shopping, but the Sim went down, then we couldn't tp anywhere, so i dont know whats going on with the linden boys......?? seems like someone needs to get themselves sorted out in a big way....lol

Anyway, not much happeniong otherwise, the trees keep growing, discovering new life forms almost daily on the island which is a very rich and varied flora...

Must get some new clothes...but shopping has got even harder now with all these bugs flying around....
