I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo

I’ve always believed that in Second Life it doesn’t need to be Halloween to dress like a complete weirdo. In fact, I’m constantly browsing the marketplace for bizarre things to put on my avatar. It’s fun! I dress like boring person out here in the real world (although that will be changing soon since I’ve made a new friend who makes her  own clothes and is currently making me a super cute dress) so I like to get creative here in SL.

I Love Rock and Roll

apr17_004

I love Rock and Roll almost as much as Joan Jett does. I am feeling particularly rock and roll today in this rockin’ outfit from Gizza with a boost from Baistice and MiaMai. Gizza’s Anarchy outfit includes sleeveless mesh tees that can be worn for a bit more coverage and a leather biker cap. It’s a hot rock outfit, with glam elements such as the quilted leather skirt and the gold chain belt. I wanted to add to the glam, though, so I added a jacket from Baiastice full of gold studs. It comes in several colors and I was tempted to go for black, but decided I like the use of silver with gold.

Nirans Viewer for the win!

I tried out the Nirans Viewer today for my blog pictures. I’ve always been a 3rd party viewer gal. Firestorm has been my interface of choice but after a while my pictures started becoming wonky. I heard Nirans was the viewer of choice when it came to taking pictures. After fiddling around with the interface and figuring out where everything was…I’m pleasantly surprised!

I Can See Clearly Now

apr15_004

One of the perks at an old job of mine was season tickets to the Portland Power – an ABL women’s basketball team. I will never forget the night we played the Seattle Reign and pulled out a close victory. The buzzer rang and immediately the notes from Johnny Nash’s song rang out, “I can see clearly now, the rain is gone.” I laughed until I cried.

We don’t get to sing that song very often in Oregon where we only get 144 sunny days a year. We get a lot of rain, though we generally don’t dress for rain. We really don’t need to. You can be out in the rain for hours and not get wet. We measure our rain in hundredths of an inch. It’s more like a heavy mist than rain. But you know, I decided to dress for the rain today in the luxe coat from NYU. And of course, as happens when you dress for the rain, I can see clearly now, the rain is gone. I can see all obstacles in my way. Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind. It’s going to be a bright, bright, sunshiney day. It’s going to be a bright, bright sunshiney day.

Cajsa Fast Five: April 14th

Fast Five Happy April 14th. So Oscar ate my post yesterday and posted one of his own. It got more hits than usual which obviously says something. What, I don’t know. But something. Anyway, today’s post is full of pretty pictures and an essay on teaching in SL, or rather why aren’t we doing more.

  1. Second Life, This Dangerous Thing: Lizzie Gudkov asks why teachers are so resistent to using Second Life as an immersive teaching tool and what can be done to change that resistance. She’s looking for suggestions so if you have ideas, please add them in comments. 
  2. Men Are Pigs: Drew VeauDeau has one of the funniest and cleverest photos to illustrate – complete with a fun post as well. I love the photo.
  3. Wonderland Hop: Caduceus Lorakeet does another masterful job with an alternative avatar. This time it’s the Coco Rabbit and I just love it.
  4. 443: Danni Ravenelli has a great casual outfit and wonderful pics to show it off. I love the confidence she displays in her first photo which is the one that drew me into the blog post.
  5. The Edge of the World: Charisma Jonesford has a beautiful and emotional evocative photo. Her description of standing by the ocean is spot on. It is a a magical experience and she captures that.
