7335 – Humpday, already?

Leave a comment

Well, new work recruits Liz and Sara both seem quite nice. I feel a bit like a Hippie/Thug Bosley from Charlie’s Angels going out to lunch with RS, LM and VS. Me and three cute Mid-20-something gals is fun.

I got a note from Fedex that they’ll try and deliver again tomorrow… I suspect it’s my goodies from weezeronithe weezle!

Newton has taken to thieving my red string. I should get him one to wear as a collar. I think he likes the little green circular bead enmeshed in the middle… or maybe it reminds him of milk rings we play with. Or maybe he’s a cat and that twine is his natural prey. (He never really messes with my sandalwood prayer-beads I got from Sedef a few years back, though they’re twine-y in places, too.

2nd life has been quite the thing lately, an odd mix of nice folks… or is that nice mix of odd folks? HP and Qdot are cool, nice folks to hang and gab with… I’ve also discovered some things to be leery of, like “adult-oriented furries“. (wiki entry, pretty safe for work, I think)

I’ve got a few avatars now, but the one I usually wear looks mostly Scotto-like, but I’ve also got a Newt-looking one, and a Dalek that’s pretty keen.

I’ve found that an old Hawkman Lapel pin makes a much better TV antenna than I thought.

I’m really fascinated by apriljoy’s video posts. Very interesting to see a face, a voice and body language with the monologue. I’m debating a video-journal entry or two using the palm-cam. (each of her entries are from 2-3 minutes long.. good little blurbs of life. Her voice and mannerisms reminds me a bit of sedef.

I test-uploaded a video at my section… about a year ago, I caught some Newton footage. Not sure why it didn’t snag the sound. Here it is in quicktime, with sound active.

1 year ago – Elric as internet metaphor, movies, Tracey Gold DUI

2 years ago – Hurricane Isabel, More Frankie the Mooch, St. John’s Wort.

3 years ago – Bonnie’s Boy Steals from FMM, and is caught on video, Newt bawls out a spaniel

4 years ago – music to my ears, LJ observations, handy word reference guide

5 years ago – Sesame Street Day!, Lower-case N song, We are all Earthlings, Ernie questions his existence. Wubba Wubba Song, Joel Reprimanded for surfing porn at work

Went over luminosity and particle physic in 2nd life. I think any programmer with some fundamental skill in C and a little history of level design n Doom would clean up in there. I’ve only been there since the weekend, and putting stuff together is mostly a snap. As always, friendly faces and good times. I got to visit a bit with qdot, uber and HP… as well as meet some friendly new faces.

I am disappointed that it can’t grab outside file sources for clothing, (thought it can for static locations, like on your property)… so much for the streaming NewtCam real time T-shirt… for now. We’ll see what future revisions bring. I *can* make a billboard with a big ol’ Newtcam flow on it, just nothing that’s worn and moves.

Newt Chilling in front of the computer. He looks a little sinister here.. I think it’s the sunbeam.

Halloween Jukebox is running at X-entertainment. don’t let the X fool you, he’s only pg-13 at the worst of cases. The king of 80s flashbacks / Halloween and the like.

Moment of Lyric- (mp3 – Thanks Dani!)

Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!
Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch.
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I’m singing,

Doo, doo, doo, Looking out my back door.

There’s a giant doing cartwheels,
A statue wearing high heels.
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
A dinosaur Victrola listening to Buck Owens.

Doo, doo, doo, Looking out my back door.

Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won’t you take a ride on the flying spoon?
Doo, doo doo.
Wond’rous apparition provided by magician.

Doo, doo, doo, Looking out my back door.

Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won’t you take a ride on the flying spoon?
Doo, doo doo.
Bother me tomorrow, today, I’ll buy no sorrows.

Doo, doo, doo, Looking out my back door.

Forward troubles Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
Bother me tomorrow, today, I’ll buy no sorrows.

Doo, doo, doo, Looking out my back door.

Of course, I sing it “Newt, Newt, Newt, Lookin’ out my Back door”.

Actually, that about sums up how surreal 2nd life is, too. Or my first one, for that matter.

Imageshack keeps thumbnails, but kills the large images? doesn’t seem right!

Interesting that most people on my last lj-poll (including myself) want to be physically unharmed/physically healthy. I wonder if it’s because most of the people I read are more mentally/emotionally resilient, or if it’s because there aren’t any nerve endings involved?

Lovely Walkabout during the early evening… Didn’t hit the water bus or galleria, but I got some prime hoofing in up and down riverwalk and to the beach before heading home. Only one photo… a positive graffito –

Smiles! Mr. Roark is tagging these days!

Um, what was that, Hal? Icon of the day.

That poll-meme has put me on the trail of some really great music! Thanks!

Java – super Mario world. Impressive!

Spent a boatload of time in 2nd Life yesterday… HP and I had a grand time in the “Burning Life” (Burning Man simulation realm), including areas that was a giant bounce house and assorted science experiments / art projects. A lot like There, all over again, but this seems to have more opportunity to really shine.

Visited the club just long enough to snag the free buffet and get a nice hug from Sasha She’s now up to date about Magda – I usually update her weekly, but with the weather and my schedule, I haven’t been by the club in forever.

Nice loot bag as a side effect of the fishing tournament fund raiser. I got a backpack, ball cap, a little notepad-binder thingum and assorted pens, odds and end, and a tournament T-shirt. The bag is the best.. just the right size for commute stuff.

got all of my paperwork done… too much.. getting things ready for last quarter is tough.

Had a nice gab with the weezle… she’s got the google talk up and running smooth as silk. I hope she’s feeling better soon.

Spending a lot of quality time in 2nd life… HP has been quite a delightful hostess and all-around good egg. We toured “burning Life” and a few other very nifty locations.
