This post is to journal just today’s varied experiences. My first stop inworld was to pick up a few more of the POE (Peace on Earth) gift globes on the grid-wide holiday hunt. In one of the tinies Shires, I met Lemmie, a ring-tailed lemur. She was a bit bored in the shop so she has now hitched a ride on my shoulder and has quite clever, quiet things to say (but so softly they don’t even register on the chat). She is a bit touch averse, so please resist the urge … I know she is so cuuuuute.
A group notice popped up, and then it was off to the LochNess Inn on the Highlands of Scotland. LauraClaire, the innkeeper was really nice to me when I met her, and therefore I was inclined to give the Inn another visit. (That just goes to show how important my job at Club Sky on eLab City West is). I boogied awhile there, had a chat about my doll collection in RL and singing in choirs. An announcement flashed on for the Advanced Clothing Class using UV maps through NCI. I had been planning a refresher, and I decided there was no time like the present.
Lemmie was not interested, so I went alone. I was glad I did – I remember the general gist of the process of using the UV maps for clothing design, but now I’m ready to implement … all those little details were VERY helpful to be repeated. I am a little daunted at the prospect of learning so many softwares {sigh}. But within days I will be paying rent on an empty shop… so its time to get down and get at it.
I was so happy after I finished I decided to pop over to Club Sky for a bit. I went home in my UV map underwear and the horrible orange shirt, to rez something cute from my POE gift stash. There was a box labeled “Tango Outfit” , which seemed quite promising… and was! It is nicely wearable for man or woman, and I love the suited-chic of the short coat, red tie, and Argentinian hat. Also the basic black boots…. super. Another POE home run. Lemmie joined me and when we dropped into the club, Kween & PJ were there – and I just hopped on a barstool to hang out. One of Myasia’s friends dropped in, and we had a bit of a nice chat. I had no particular plan in mind, thinking I really wanted to get that Weave Oldrich over for some fun. He was tied up with some RL IT snafu, and I was sitting in the Club strategizing on how to get him over.
Another group notice popped up – with a topic I couldn’t refuse “Race in Real Life & Second Life”. Not having much of a preconception of what it might be, I TPed over to the ISTE Island Band shell. For the second time in two days, I was in exactly the right place to meet exactly the right people. It was an amazing lecture by Dr. Marc Aronson who is working with the Federation of American Scientists, buidling a SL site to explore “race”. It promises to be quite exciting.
As I had some more time to fill before I was due to work at the club, I followed a TP from the Ciudad Mexico to see the new setup there by a Mexican artista. They had not put the exact name of her shop in the notice, so I could not findit. Then decided to go back to Muse Isle, see my shop reserved with my name on it and explore the sim I am going to become a part of.
