C'est le dernier lieu crée par AM Radio. On va pas dire que ce gars est génial non plus, il a fait fortune (façon de dire, je sais que ca part pour une association), en mettant sur un terrain des champs moche comme pas possible (ouais et en plus on en a au village!).

Mais par contre il a bien su crée une atmosphère unique sur les différents lieux qu'il crée. Si je compte bien on est à 4-5 lieux:

1. The wheatfields

C'est les fameux champs de blés, avec une eolienne, des chaises qui tombent du ciel dans une barque, une locomotive, et un living room au milieu du champ. Je dois en oublier mais le principal est là.

3. Husk

Sans doute sa creation que j'ai le moins aimé. Un desert, une jeep, une machine à coudre dans le desert à coté d'un arbre mort (voir le point 2). Jamais pu prendre de photos là bas...

4. The Refuge and The Prospect

Ouverte pendant une unique semaine cette sim ressemble de loin à celle qui vient d'ouvrir. Personnellement je la preferai à cette dernière mais mes souvenirs sont vagues oui je vieilli (voir point 2).

The Refuge and The Prospect

5. The Refuge and The Expansion et The Refuge and The Progression:

Ces deux sims sont accolées. Si 'Expansion' reprends bien le principe de la pompe a essence, le chateau d'eau. Une maison à fait place à l'avion présent dans 'Prospect

The Refuge and The Expansion - Tornado coming

The Refuge and The Expansion - Morning

I entered the Second Spaces "Exotic Getaway" contest.  We are to decorate a provided shadowbox in a manner that stays within the theme.  This is the "before" picture.

In the Winged Girl Blog, Kate Amdahl writes about the end of the Linden Lifestyles blog, but more to the point, writes about the ending of other kinds of things--places, and people.

But this post isn't about fashion: it's about endings. They scare me, frankly, which is good in a way (on which more in a moment). Every ending like this is only a change, a transformation into something new (in First Life, in Second Life...that energy and attention is going *somewhere*). But it's also a death. It's not the end of the world - unless whatever's closing down happens to be your world in Second Life, in which case you have three choices: burn out, fade away, or dwindle and remain as a shadow of yourself.

When I first started out in SL a little over a year ago, I was just checking it out because a friend of mine had joined.  I didn't really imagine that I'd stick around.  I started out at AOL Island, and I fell in with a group of compatible people, and we hung around together, generally showing up at AOL sometime in the evening, and mostly just sitting around talking.  If I logged on in the evening, the first place I'd check would be AOL, and if my friends were online, they could usually be found there, quite often skateboarding for Lindens.

Then AOL left, and closed the island.  We tried hanging out at my house for awhile, and that was fine, but there really wasn't anything to do there, and sometimes talk wears thin.  And things happened with the group, things that were never resolved, and people started drifting away.  Some of them found new relationships in RL, and SL became less important.  I logged on the other day and saw (by looking at the "last logged in" date in a group) that one of my friends hadn't logged in for nearly a month; I checked their Flickr account and it had been deleted.  I have no idea what happened.  I wrote to them at the last email address I had, but never received an answer.

People disappear.  I could disappear, too, if I chose--no one knows who I am in RL, and if I disappeared, no one would know where to start to look.  Places disappear.  I needed a place to take pictures the other night and thought of a place that I hadn't been to in a long time.  I can't remember the name of it now, but it was a university-type place, with all kinds of classes, some of which I had attended a long time ago (funny how a year seems like "a long time ago," but everything seems compressed in SL).  It was gone--something else entirely different was there.

That had happened before, too.  A wonderful place I'd found disappeared.  You kind of expect that things will be there forever, but you just can't count on that anymore.  SL is ephemeral, it isn't real, after all.  But I still wonder what happened to my friend; there are people behind the places in SL, of course, someone has to build them.  But more than that, there are people behind every avatar, and in some ways it's easy to forget that.

A Fine Frenzy - Almost Lover

You fingertips across my skin

The palm trees swaying in the wind

Images

You sang me spanish lullabies

The sweetest sadness in your eyes

Clever trick

I never want to see you unhappy

I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover

Goodbye, my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

I should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street

You took my hand and danced with me

Images

And when you left you kissed my lips

You told me you'd never ever forget these images, no

I never want to see you unhappy

I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover

Goodbye, my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

I should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean

I cannot drive the streets at night

I cannot wake up in the morning

Without you on my mind

So you're gone and I'm haunted

And I bet you are just fine

Did I make it that easy

To walk right in and out of my life?

Goodbye, my almost lover

Goodbye, my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

I should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do

New arrangement in the bedroom... Put the tiny cupboard from the entrance hall beside the bed, not bad !

J'ai encore changé des trucs chez moi... le petit meuble à côté du lit était dans l'entrée où on ne le voyait pas vraiment. Il est mieux là non ?

Changed-again

Sinon, vacances demain,... souffler, enfin :) Well, and tomorrow evening: holidays ! time to breathe at last.

happy summer

l'ovni de mon dernier comité BD - Le commando Torquemada est employé par l'inquisition dont le chef est le Cardinal Albuferque, le pape (JP ! ) a bien besoin de leur "compétence". Composé de trois allumés au méthodes assez spéciales - Frère Malachie, moine empoisonneur, de Feargal Mc Gowan, flingueur adepte de calembours, et de la sexy Sœur Sarah Terwagne, extralucide et folle des hommes a peau malade. Dans le premier tome, le commando est reactivé pour retrouver la fameuse lance de Longinus. Dans le second, ils doivent remettre sur pied la soeur Dominique, donc le tube "Dominique Nique Nique" est resté dans les mémoires. Humour noir, ça décape, et c'est bien barrén tout ce que j'aime quoi  - Philippe Nihoul, au scénario et  Xavier Lemmensau dessin. A découvrir donc !
