Happy Rezday, Kandinsky!

Have a great day and get loads of presents.

Yeah I changed the picture, because I liked this one better.

Survey on Virtual Grief

Yesterday I received a note card from my friend Kandinsky Beaumont and from the "Remembering Our Friends" group in SecondLife that I would ,like to share with you.

"Have you ever created a memorial page or a group in the Internet?

Have you ever attended a virtual memorial service, commemorations or a wake in a game?

Has a close family member or a friend deceased lately and you would like to share your thoughts about mourning, memorialization and honoring the memory of the deceased?

I am a Finnish doctoral student from the University of Turku, Digital culture, and my doctoral thesis is about digitalization of death and mourning rituals in virtual environments (more about me: http://bittiavaruuteen.wordpress.com/in-english/).

I am looking for people to fill out a short 10 question survey and/or join me for an interview either in Second Life or through e-mail. Please fill out your e-mail or SL-name in the questionnaire form, if you would like to be contacted later.

Survey here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/RC6WBFB

I am grateful for all help possible in my study! Please pass on this message to anyone it might interest.

With kind regards,

Morita Hoxley a.k.a. Anna Haverinen"

I would like to encourage everyone to share their experiences with Morita/Anna!

Party Pictures - Apmel 4 y.o.

Everyone was there, absolutely everyone - or almost...

Kandinsky Beaumont was beautiful as usual (the hostess had been up all night building the party place) Apmel was sweeter than usual, and everyone else looked stunning but there was one guy looking more stunning than the rest.

I hope you all notice how I very subtly zoom in on him... (I actually can be subtle when I want to, which I don´t always want as much as people around me would wish.)

Well, anyway a guy is allowed to look isn´t he? From his profile I could see this particular "sujet d'intérêt" is mostly in "InWorldz" so that feels pretty safe because I sure as hell am not going to stalk anyone in that place.

 

RSVP to Kandinsky Beaumont

In a comment to one of my earlier posts I found an invitation from Kandinsky Beaumont.

In adherence with the rules of Emily Post I would like to respond in the same manner.




Dearest Kandi,
Thanks so much for the invitation, I would love to attend!

Yours,
Bock McMillan

Den gåtfulla Kandinsky Beaumont bedårar och berör oss här lika mycket som med sina dikter.

Äntligen var Valentindagen här!!!

Jag inledde den stora dagen med att åka i väg för att krama en Linden.

Tyvärr fanns varken Philip, Torley, Blue, Teddy eller ens lille Rodrigo från chat-supporten där, så jag fick hålla tillgodo med att krama Cudly Linden istället. Lindens kramanimation var alldeles bedrövlig så det såg ut så här...men det var tur kanske så fick jag inga tjejbaciller.

Därefter åkte jag ut för att shoppa ringar till Ars och mig för att ge honom som en Valentin-gåva. Med mig hade jag den bäste "personal shopper" som finns i hela SL, min vän Gilgalahad Gunsberg. Förutom att känna till alla bra ställen så är han en av de "hunkigaste" karl-avatarerna som finns, och en av de klokaste och vänligaste också. (Han får inte vara med på bild!)

Sedan var det dags för årets näststörsta händelse, den största är "Vimmel" på tisdagen den 16 februari 2010, kl. 20.00, Valentine-festen anordnad av dronningen, Gittrika Mint, Vampi Twine och Annabella Lundquist.

Tack för en välordnad och trevlig fest, töser! Det gjorde ni jättebra!
