Second Life

I just don't get why people ban everyone from their land. On the Walkabouts with Cubey we were, many times, forced to go around land that had ban lines up (which one can't enter) or ejected without warning (sometimes thrown a LONG way) for the crime of trying to cross a piece of land. Now it's like that in Bodega, where my house and gallery are. I DON'T GET IT - why do some people think it's necessary? Arggh.

I did something I've wanted to do for ages - bought a flock of birds from Lauk. They fly about and are nice to see. I put them at the Brownstone East. I guess I will look at my prims - they are almost all things that aren't personal, like backdrops and books, which I can't reduce -but maybe I can lower it somehow. The backdrops and exhibits are variable amounts of prims, and the books keep growing in number - so it's good to think as I go along instead of being surprised later.

I ran into Eddie E and Fallingwater C at the Relay for Life yesterday - they are a very nice couple. Eddie gave me an amazing silver android skin which I love.

Yesterday was the opening of Clownin' Around, which is a large exhibit of snapshots of residents and Lindens wearing clown noses. It was fun to see them!

Relay for Life crashed some sims a few times, I guess, but I'm sure it raised a lot of money. It was a fabulously well-thought out use of the 6 shipwrech sims, with HOPE terraformed into it as lakes, and the relay path raised high up with bridges over the watery bits. One could buy and light luminaria of various colors, race Flying Takos, bid in the silent auction, etc., etc. Very well-done.
