So, what's the big deal with Dave Itzkoff, anyway?

In Second Life...
*I deleted my house by accident (again)
*the box was empty when I tried to re-rez it (sigh)
*I built a log cabin instead
*the log cabin had no door, so I tried to rez the door from the old house, whereupon...
*the whole old house re-appeared, sitting on the roof of the log cabin
*I now (mostly) have the re-rezzed old house back working except...
*the internal teleport tubes are a little wonky and...
*only one door opens
*...but hey.
*Also, I spent a lovely time walking through Serenity Gardens, which is a work of art. If you're ever in Second Life, stop by.

We have in house and are attempting to ration ourselves to two episodes/day, the complete Rocky and Bullwinkle, Season One, which would be the tale of the top secret jet fuel, introducing the moon men (whose names I had remembered wrongly as Sidney and Floyd), and of course Boris Badanov and Natasha Fatale. What's frightening is how much of this I remember...

Don't feel at all well. Coldish and achy. Ick.

Ah, Rocky & Bullwinkle... That's one thing from American culture that I never got exposed to as a kid. But I made up for it after I married my California-born Sue over 20 years ago. And since then I've come across so many references to R&B in all kinds of places, from Gary Larson's Far Side to the X-files by way of MST3K, that my brain feels as corrupted as if I had come across Moose and Squeerrel in my tender youth.

Is this Second Life really worth it? I'm beginning to think you could be building a real house in the time you're investing in it -- at least drawings for a real one.

Here, we're destroying the side yard with visions of garden.

Is this Second Life really worth it?

In a bizzare sort of way, it is. I am the Least Artistic of Mortals(tm) and have a very hard time thinking in three dimensions. Inside the game, I'm learning to manipulate, create, and modify "objects" in 3-D. Which may or may not be immediately useful to my Real Life, but is helping me learn something that I've never really been able to grasp in my life. Sort of like Montessori school for adults.

Besides that, I own and operate a carousel in Second Life, something I'm certainly never going to be able to accomplish in RL, and I find that both amusing and satisfying.

Getting to be that time. We have Plans for the Cat Garden, this year...

So, feeling better?
