What Happens if I Click This? Updating my Blogroll

I spent a good couple of hours on Spotify last night all because of one song. I heard the song at a club and looked up the artist on spotify and after deciding to download the whole album I started to click through on the related artists links. Several downloads and hours later I had [...]

Black Knight Captures White Queen

Black Knight Captures White Queen

  Headfirst by Shayla S A thick foam barrier blocks us all, from a scene of, illusioned perfect something we all strive for. But few achieve. I want it, I need it, I can taste it, feel it. I stick a hand in, a foot. Sucks like quicksand. But I try "It's so close" "Just [...]

You Can’t Make Greed Look Pretty – The Flickr Bump Row Continues

You Can’t Make Greed Look Pretty – The Flickr Bump Row Continues

There are a number of traits I find particularly unattractive and greed is right up there at the top of the list. It manifests itself in a number of ways within Second Life like clubs that 'game' traffic by using bots and alts to stores who put the most popular colours of an item unavailable [...]

Looking at the Stars to Save Me

Looking at the Stars to Save Me

SL is often an escape for people. Over the last year it's become less so for me and more a place for collaborative working on projects. Sometimes though I need SL to just be pure escapism. When real life stresses are at the point where a switch needs to turn off and I can immerse [...]

During a planning meeting for a SL TV Show about MadPea myself, and the host Saffia Widdershins of Designing Worlds, went off at a tangent and started to discuss our SL homes.  We both keep our work spaces separate from our homes and found that we both have a favourite spot in our homes that [...]

Things That Make You Go Oooooh!

Someone asked me once 'Shoes or Hair'. That's a tough question right? I mean that's almost like asking me which of my two daughters I like the best!!! I love them both the same but they are so different in style and personality. Which do I have more of? Well if we're going with sheer [...]

Shake it off! Shake it off!

My post today is going to be a bit of a mish-mash of thoughts and goodies. I spent a lot of time last week decorating my new house after deciding to make some changes. I had a reason to be spurred into action to work on the house though things change so very quickly in [...]

What Is the True Meaning of Christmas to you?

What Is the True Meaning of Christmas to you?

I am missing a major event in my Christmas calendar this year. Every year for the last 3-4 years the company I worked for organised a Christmas Dinner at a local homeless charity. The majority of the staff helped out. The night before we'd be roasting turkeys and peeling vegetables ready for the day ahead. [...]
