Waving 'hi'

I got it into my head that I should put a picture with the last blog. Waving hi to my blog visitors. So I spent 8 minutes waving madly in Southend, trying to capture it in a photo.
There was one issue to begin with. By the time I pressed "wave" on the HUD and then ran the mouse to snapshot, the wave was done. So I shuffled my windows around to get my camera box next to the hud.
Now you can see that when I wave, the sleeves of my dress don't.
*Sigh*
This is how it is possible to waste a lifetime of time in SL!

Burning Curiosity

On the side bar of this blog there is a map and there is a list of places that people have come from to visit the blog.
I check this list as often as I look for comments on the bloggings.
It is a funny thing. I write the blog for me. But it is in a public place and others can, and seem to read it.
I am intrigued that there are people who come here by accident, others on purpose, some regularly and some after putting in some words to a google search.
I wish I could sit and wave to each of you that wanders through

Ashes Part 2


With a little bit of a fiddle to make a fit, we have a tiger dressed for the ashes....

Ashes



The cricket is on.. close series.
2 draws, one win to England, 2 games to go and a fairly unimpressive game so far.
Moppets got interested for the first time ever. By the end of it we might even know who is on which team.

More lunatic

Today I caught Building Blitz again!
Theme.. historic events..
thinking moon already...
so I proceed to build moon history.. only to find that about 8-10 out of 16 did the same.
None had a kitty astronaut though....

I suffered from a lot of texture lag. And was getting quite frantic. I couldn't load anything from inventory so in the end I had to texture exclusively from what i could make and from blank that had been coloured. I struggled with a US Flag. It was on in the wrong orientation and everytime I tried to fix it, lag returned it 'til eventually I couldn't remember which way was up. To then get IMed that it was wrong had me ready to dig my claws in.
So I claimed the moon for the Cat Empire

Lunar-ticks


Hah! Have you ever wondered why I have the moon in the side bar of my blog? It is because I am totally convinced that there is a correlation between the moon and people's behavior.

Not in an astrology way, but some gravitational weird science way that I don't understand. All I know for sure that in my day-to-day life, amongst the predominantly female company that my life is spent in, things get rough, bumpy, weird, crazy, upsetting at particular times. And if I stop and think "hey, this seems excessive, what's going on", well I can expect to find a full moon outside my window.

SL has also given me the same moment to stop and reflect about the moon and I am eye-ing it anxiously now as we approach a full one!
I want you all to sit down, stay calm and behave yourselves. We will survive it, the full moon will pass.
