a slow week

yes, its been a slow week; last week was slow too....:)) spent far tooo much time this week trying to get a plot at Burning Life, yawn, this land grab thingy may be fine for people who have nothing better to do, but for me it is a real royal pain. Even last year when i got a plot thro the lottery I hated trying to go out and select one, ....all the plots are totally soulless.....so one piece of parched (dodgy tex) desert is exactly the same as any other. Why on earth they dont just give plots out is totally beyond me. Like anyone cares.....
It may be because they do that in RL, but Burning Man is totally different to Burning Life, from what i have understood. Building regulations (no mega prims), theme considerations (no houses), and PG considerations (no nipples),..... it reminds me of one of those beaches you can go to in "the civilized world" which have a list of stuff you cant do, greeting you as you get onto the beach.
Anyway, why fight for a piece of land big enough to put three trees on?? hmmmm, well, it all sounds a bit negative, I know, but I have not been enjoying the grab, as you may have guessed; so..... I am hoping to build with the Virtual Artist Alliance, on a communal plot.... could be lots of fun, even if it turns out to be Smouldering Life...:))
Will keep you informed...
on a positive note..... I have a new tree nearly finished and will upload a snap next time i write.

beach visitors

This is the lovely Sapphire, modelling my Health and Safety equipment down in the fish shop.
She and Burton came over to have a look at the beach. i have spoken about them before in these pages, they were very kind to me when I first arrived here...



Thought a few shots would be nice for those who cant make it... but it is open for whoever, whenever...:))))



...then, I crashed..... cant say things are exactly hunky dory at the moment with the Boys wiring..... come on !! sort it out !! probably just a fuse...
how difficult can it be to run a parallel universe??

hhehehehe

jump in the well



find the door



and walk down the stairs

well, its not very finished as I write, but its on its way, need some more species, but they will float in on the tide, I guess...

don't worry about the fish, they are all vegetarian.... I have Health and Safety Equipment I will issue to you if you IM me....havent quite got it together with one of those thingies that give you a freebie when you tp in..... but it will all come together in the end...:)))

Mr Widget and Alienspeaking

Well, you know how it is when you settle down to do some work and the offer of a good distraction comes your way....

so, i dropped my hammer and chain saw, chisel and plane....( I was making a new door) and tp'ed over to the Blood Box where I managed to catch some very cool toons before RL copped hold of me and spirited me off to my second life.....

Mr Widget and Alien always get me going, and my little puter was vibrating cos I had the noise up as high as its little speakers could manage....

still managed to get some sea anemones made, and the door....wellll....its a bit funky..... :)))) heheheheee

Jaynine Scarborough plays Orange Island

Well, sorry, I didnt get time to post this event here....I think my IM's are being capped....

anyway, it was a great concert, Jaynine has an amazing voice, very easy to listen to, and a full interview with her is available on the Orange blog

there were over thirty people there, all dressed in grey....very co-ordinated..:))

Greater Angel Iris

Ah.... now as I was merrily hanging about in the Orchid House, Builder Weatherwax was good enough to explain another little button on Blender. and... because of this the Iris has turned out very well. So thanks to you Builder...:))

I needed at least one more flower for the collection..:)) now I really will get down to doing those corals I keep talking about.

Orchid House

Well, its more of a pavillion really, but, anyway its open to the public, i.e. anyone who wants to take a look. I sent out invites, so if you didnt get one you are not on my friends list, which is easy to change....(send me friendship).... makes life easier.

the address is... Lifstaen 15,16,77

Tried to put the best of my recent tex and sculpties together in one place....:))

hope you enjoy it.
