O Captain! My Captain!

I dropped in at my sons place today for a surprise visit, alas everything was very decent and he was only rezzing a new peacock on his land.

Guyke has also been working on landscaping on his parcel since the latest breakup with Ziggy. The two of them are now neighbors. I love them both.

After showing me around his beautiful place I asked Guyke to take me on a sailing trip around the archipelago of Second Norway on his boat "Paradijs". Which he agreed to but telling me that he was not as good at it as Ziggy.

Well, let me tell you, my son is an awesome sailor, much better I should think than he believes himself! The voyage was a pleasant experience and I felt safe in his hands.

After the sailing we decided to hang around a little on his newly acquired toobies and talk a little more when he did not have to focus his attention on speed and direction.

A Lazy Tuesday

Yesterday I was tired, lazy and lonely. I called out to my friends and they came to sit with me and cheer me up with a bit of inspired trash talk.

*Bock McMillan runs around in circles while flapping his arms. A shrill voice shouts "Oh My God" repeatedly and in local chat you read: "OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!*

The reasons for this reaction are twofold. Firstly for having missed a blog post that my dear buddy Ziggy Starsmith posted on his blog yesterday announcing that he and his husband in first life Larz Kas celebrated their twentieth anniversary, Ziggy On The Edge Of Second Life: My 20th Anniversary In Real Life: Larz Kas and Ziggy Starsmith. Secondly because I have formerly claimed to be the most patient man in both worlds (because everyone always keep telling me so). However, I realized that I must officially concede to having been defeated for the title by Larz Kas.

Lars has successfully survived living with the rebellious and ranting Ziggy for the last 20 years! Admittedly Ziggy is a kind, loving and wildly charming man, but Larz must still truly be the most patient man in both lives!

My sincere congratulations to both of you men for the first twenty years and my very best wishes for the next twenty!

Shopping For Bathroomware

When I came in-world today my decoration consultant Butch Diavolo told me I was late and why was not looking at furniture where he had told me to look. The fact that he had told me so 15 seconds earlier, was not considered an acceptable excuse.

So I got out of my bandages from last night party and into my building clothes and mindset (which took me close to 30 seconds) and hurried out to the store while profusely asking him to forgive me for my tardiness and promising that it would never happen again. Certain gay interior decorators, and mine is one of them,  are extremely touchy and you need to know when to shut up and just accept the abuse they are hurling at you!

We looked at and bought - among other things - bathroomware. Of course we had to try the animations out first, so I forced an unwilling Butch to join me whenever it was necessary.

We did not find an acceptable commode yet, so I must ask Ziggy to secretly check-up and report to me who made the one that Guykechen has in his home.

Iris Maskelyne

The awesome creators name is Iris Maskelyne and her store is DIGS - Furniture & Prefabs and is located in Terra Felix (SLurl).

I also bought a wonderful creative kitchen table, a day bead, five kitchen chairs, a lovers rug, two other chairs and some lighting appliances from DIGS. Iris also, at my request, supplied me with new versions of the bathtub and a bathroom cabinet with ash bases.

I completely love Iris, for being so wonderfully creative and giving me speedy and kind customer service!

The White Party

At the end of the Second Pride Festival this year I was so fed up and tired with music and dancing that I promised myself and my avatars feet that I would stay away from both for at least a week. Well, the resolution lasted four days.

Tonight I did not want to work on the building or fix the alterations that had been made temporarily to get the house in place (such as moving plants and trees out of the way), Butch wasn't inworld, Guyke and Ziggy were cuddling on a float at their home in Second Norway, Dej was having first life issues and I was bored.

So when I got the notice from Julius Antonius (a.k.a. Joe Lycomedes) about a White Party at Sexology, I jumped at the opportunity of being with others even if I was not in a mood to talk. Do you people get that way sometimes also, where you crave the company but want them to talk amongst themselves and ignore you while you just relax and listen/read?

I had a new outfit in my Inventory, which I thought of t once when I saw the theme of the party. I added a pair of glasses that I changed the color of and one chucker with cream a colored sock and I was ready to go.

The party was exactly what I was looking for, besides greeting me and informing me that I had won a gift card to Red Devil I was left alone to enjoy DJ Ralphy's mellow music and the fun chat in the room. When I was tired and ready to prepare for bed I said my good nights like the good bye I am and logged off for the night from SecondLife.

The Boys

I dropped in to the fashion show at Second Pride this evening, alas I was too late and had immense problems trying to rez. I am trying again tomorrow noon-1 PM when the fashion show is redone. 

This is the only decent picture I got at the event today, it shown my boys enjoying the fashion show.

Kitchens & Bathrooms in SecondLife

Ever since I arrived in SecondLife I have been wondering about all the kitchens and bathrooms we see in-world, when we never really use them for much. Obviously we do not eat, drink, wash, crap or pee in our virtual homes, so why do we let these useless rooms take up space and prims to the extent that we do?

I was reminded about my early fascination on this subject, when I saw my son in-law and friend Ziggy's beautiful picture. The only valid excuses for having bathrooms that I can think of are the many wonderful "sex-in-the-shower/bathtub" animation scenes I have seen.

But what about the kitchens? As far as I can recall I have not seen any sex-animation scenes centered around that particular space in our SecondLife homes.

Considering the many wonderful moments I have spent in the kitchen in first life getting slammed against the kitchen cabinets, thrown on to or over a kitchen table, a sink or a kitchen counter or even rolling around the floor, it is rather amazing that it has not been resulted in any sex-animations. Surely I cannot be alone with these sweet memories, can I?

My old buddy Kip Ashbourne and his husband Chaz Longstaff over at Blue Balls Animations really should start working on this pretty darn soon, in my opinion they could make a fortune or two by catering to this forgotten room. But then again, it may just be that I haven't done a proper market research. There may very well be sex- animations for this room, I just haven't come across them yet.

Rest & Recreation

With two major events occurring simultaneously a blogger need to take some time out once in a while for some necessary R & R. This is me just hanging with Guyke at his and Ziggy's beautiful home in Second Norway. Talking in voice about nothing in particular, is a great way to just let go.

When Ziggy came home we decided to move down to the dock and the leisurely conversation continued into the SecondLife night.

At Zeus With DJ Butch

I ventured in-world yesterday hoping I could handle the problem om not reading  well by doing voice as much as possible. Then I remembered the option to change the font sizes which  instantly solved my problems with  Instant Messages and local  chat once I had set both to huge. I still have problems reading name tags tho so I can only see who is at the venue if they IM me or speak in local.

First on my list yesterday was Butch's regular set at Zeus Gay Club. I can tell you the man was totally on fire yesterday, it was one of his best sets ever, in my not-so-humble opinion.

Spanki and Ziggy were also there and at the end I discovered Aisha also, when she finally spoke in local.  She was a bit upset that I had not spotted her early, so I had to explain the situation. I think she accepted my explanation, but I am not quite sure.

SL10B Visiting the Rhino Writers

The SL10B opened today and the first thing I had to do was drop in at the pavilion of the Rhino Writers, the gay bloggers group in SecondLife.

Teno, Avacar, Rico and Ziggy had done an excellent job with the exhibition. The pavilion was highly visible with its spectacular color and shape. The interior design was also awesome, but we are gay so what would you expect?

Of course I could not resist the photo opportunity rhino

On Wednesday June 19 at 11:00 AM SLT SL Live Radio will be broadcasting a two hour event from our pavilion  Please plan on joining us. http://radiosllive.blogspot.co.uk/

At the Gay Nation Set

The Gay Nation set with DJ Ginger, was fun although a bit rowdy. The rowdiness was caused by Butch congregating with a multitude of ex-lovers at this event. One could have guessed they had made an appointment but I believe it came around purely by circumstance. It was interesting to hear all the information they freely and spilled about Butch in a charming and good-natured way. It was obvious to all that they still had warm affections for him.
