The Art of Partnership

Or... art of my partner ;)

I captured this adorable shot of Alysa as she fell off a rooftop and into a trashcan.

Isn't she cute?

:D

Crashes

I spent some time shooting at "head crabs" in Blacklist with Livie, last week. I had the bright idea to try and run them down with my car. Livie jumped in and started shooting from the passenger seat.

We seem to have really angered those head crabs, because the next thing we knew, we were airborne... the little car with Livie and I on board sailed over the buildings of Blacklist and fell off the giant skybox that makes up our city. The car sailed on, two sims away and 700m down, before crashing near a castle.

Amazingly, we survived with only minor scrapes and bruises. We flew back to Blacklist to get revenge on those crabs...

I hate those things.

Photoshoot

Sys asked Alysa if she would mind posing for some photos. Alysa brought me along, and, after Sys finished with Alysa, she shot us both dancing.

You can see three raw shots, above, followed by a finished product made by Sys, at the bottom.

It was a fun morning. I enjoy the shoots with Sys... and that she likes to shoot Alysa and I is nice. :)

Login Failed, and We Care

This post has been brewing for a few weeks, at least.

I spent the day "Ruthed" last Saturday.
Naked, too.

Now, I have no problem being naked. In fact, I'm naked a lot, in SL..
But I like choice.

So, I was Ugly Ruth, and unable to wear any texture clothes... I could only attach prims. For almost the entire day. Finally, I got an answer from Linden Labs support on how to reset my avatar and begin being me again. I am sparing you the pics, by the way.

Sometime around last weekend, I also had a viewer crash. Nothing unusual there... I get a few a week... and another few disconnects. I got an odd message on login, after I waited the requisite 8 minutes for a relog... you can see it above...

I know what an "agent" is... and I know where I was... shouldn't Linden Labs?

Around this time, I got the survey that you see in the other image. I've seen it before... I always answer "Worse". Linden Labs doesn't want to know "why" my experience is getting worse... because I am a Mac user. Their survey dislikes Mac users. But they know that their survey dislikes Mac users. I feel better, knowing they have been hard at work on this bug. For a month. Really... it explains why I couldn't get Shaitan restarted last month. All their technicians were too busy figuring out a web form.

We now return to your regularly scheduled blog....

Exploring the Grand Canyon

Me, Hyang and Joni (Viola around, somewhere) exploring a sim-sized map of The Grand Canyon. These maps are really cool. Search for Rumsey in the Second Life map, and you'll find a series of sims by David Rumsey, with huge topographical 3D maps and globes to explore.

It's fun. It's educational. It's cool. :)

Check it out.

Accidents Happen

I heard a commotion outside.. the screaming of little engines, squealing of tires, sounds of small crashes... So I looked out the window. And on the streets of Blacklist, I saw these little tiny race cars. Jo and Livie were racing around the streets. With the new addition on to Blacklist, there is more room to race.

These little cars are just perfect for our narrow streets. I pointed my camera out the window, and snapped this pic of Livie, before she sped off down the street...

Alysa and I loved these cute little cars, so we went off to go car shopping. Less than thirty minutes later, we were speeding around the streets of Blacklist, her in her cute red car, me in my little black convertible.

It seems these cars go really fast... so fast, you can get into trouble taking corners. So, it wasn't long before this happened...


Well, at least the cars are "copy"... so after the damage is done, we just discard the broken cars and take new ones out of inventory.

:D

Stay off the sidewalks... lots of cars racing around Blacklist, and not all of them stick to the roads.

Nerd Test / Geek Test

Thanks, Hyang ;p

Rawr!! My Partner. Oh.. and the shop, too...

Alysa. My partner, my lover, and my best friend in Second Life.

I love this pic of her... she looks strong, confident... and sexy at the same time. Here, in front of her shop at Blacklist.

Rawr!! indeed.

Livie paints the town

Livie dropped by to check out our new build in progress.

She has this cool new toy... sort of a can of spray paint. I warned her about tagging our new buildings... I mean... they aren't even finished, yet!

Still... before she left... she just had to do it.

Tagging the church.... *sigh*

Outdoors at Blacklist

We had a bit of a mixup.. Yoshi thought we were having an event for her to DJ at, but we had changed the date. We thought, why not have her play anyway... impromptu event. Alysa and I wanted to build, though... as well as host with Yoshi. So...

We moved the event outdoors, out of the the bar. We were over at the water tower, next to the build site.

It's a nice spot for a party, and we held Punk Hop there as well.

Look for more events at the water tower. These were loads of fun. Dancing, talking, building...
