Let the Music Play… What do you like to Hear?

Let the Music Play… What do you like to Hear?

I was chatting with my friend Sady the other day about the music I play at my DJ sets and it got me thinking about how to get the right balance for the audience at my sets. This isn't about what genre of music you play, though for the record, my preference is for alternative [...]

Carpe Diem

Carpe Diem

I'm taking part in something that got started in a Plurk conversation over the weekend by Sophia Harlow and Blogtober was born! I really had a slack week blogging last week due to numerous other SL work commitments but generally the idea is that I will blog every day from now until the end of [...]

If I Knew Then What I Know Now

If I Knew Then What I Know Now

I was reminded while watching a TV programme a few days ago how our mind absorbs knowledge and how our memory reacts to that knowledge once it's embedded in our brains. A year ago I started a new job in real part of which is being a Medical Secretary to a group of consultants in [...]

Who Would Believe That in the Quiet Town…

The title of the post is a line from the prologue of 'Giles Corey of Salem Farms' by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.  I was so excited when I heard that there was going to be an event this year called Salem as, not only do I have a little Salem inspired area on my sim (TaKe [...]

All Around Me are Familiar Faces

My sister and I are like chalk and cheese. There is a 7, almost 8, year age gap between us and the circumstances we were brought up in were very different.

I Know What I Want and It’s Not What I Need

I Know What I Want and It’s Not What I Need

I woke up just 10 mins ago with the Golden Earring classic "Twilight Zone" in my head. Specifically: Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned The lyrics are a little different in my head with 'twilight' being replaced by the word 'friendship' . I guess it's [...]

I Am What I Am

I Am What I Am

  There's been on much chatter this week on social media about the relationship between bloggers and designers and also the requirements for blogging for each store. I've kept reasonably quiet on most of the posts, not because I don't agree or I do but because there will always be someone who does or doesn't [...]

The Car Park Attendant?

The Car Park Attendant?

I have a funeral to go to today and I don't know what to wear.  Usually it's simple right? Wear black...well in real life that's easy for me because pretty much everything I wear is black. But, the instructions for the funeral say wear a 'touch of colour'. Now I'm wondering how much a touch [...]
