typical SL weekend
It was a nice weekend in my virtual world. I went by Fiction & Latte to catch the tail end of the poetry reading. After that I popped over to Photo Island for the weekend student gathering. One of the other students put up a photo she was having problems with and we discussed it. One of the instructors also gave a lot of good, general information about photographic an event. I ended the evening by checking out a build a friend and her RP crew are working on. They put their blueprints on floor at scale and starting building that way. Great idea.
Saturday involved Bookstacks' Trivia on War. I did a miserable job, that isn't really a surprise. Other than some WW2 poetry and Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried, I avoid war as a topic in my reading. Later on Wendy Curtiss played the Pub at Bookstacks. She has a great voice. Catch her if you get the opportunity. Simeon and I spent some time scouting places for my landscape photo assignment and caught up with a friend.
I spent a good part of Sunday morning shooting photos and eavesdropping on a conversation between a man and woman. Hint - if it is a personal discussion, have it in private IM. Trust me, if I'd had my chat log turned on, I'd be deleting the names and posting some of the juicier lines here. Basically the guy was a jerk, telling the woman that he didn't care about her "human" only about her SL avatar. Also, he doesn't want to talk about his wife. And, um, the sex was great the one time they had it. There are a lot of great guys out there, so I hope she drops him soon and finds someone who is less of a user.
We were back at Fiction & Latte on Sunday for a Moochers' Meet, the informal discussion by people who originally met at Bookmooch. A couple of F&L's regulars sat in as well. Always an interesting discussion, but it went on for about 3 hours. Mostly just puttering after that. Simeon and I did draft out a Bookstacks schedule through the end of May.
It was just a typical SL weekend, filled with friends, book discussions, and exploring new places. Now if I could just catch up on my sleep.
