Belated Fifth Blogoversary

I have always been terrible with dates, anniversaries and birthdays! Today I discovered that I had missed the fifth anniversary of Bock in SecondLife, which was first started on August 25th, 2009. 

Before moving on to the singing, cheering and toasting with champagne in crystal glasses lets summarize the blogs existence with a few numbers. During the past five years the blog has accumulated 589,270 pageviews, 2,923 posts, 6,505 comments and 113 followers (of whom 6 prefer to remain hidden).

Now all please rise and join me in singing belated congratulations to "Bock in SecondLife"

Happy blogoversary to you,
happy blogoversary to you,
happy blogoversary to you Bock in SecondLife,
happy blogoversary to you!

May you have many more,
may you have many more,
may you have many moooooooooooorrreeeee,
may you have many more!


Three cheers to "Bock in SecondLife"!

Hip, hip!
Hooray! Hooray! Hooraaaaaaaay!

Stalking the Talent

On Sunday my man and I visited the beautiful Southern California (SoCal) sim (SLurl), because the talent in the family wanted to take a picture there.

Tomais at first had a completely different picture in his mind, but as the owner wasn't online he could not get permission to rez the car he needed for that. However, there is no way of stopping a talented man who is inspired so he came up with another idea.

As always when the talent goes into his creative mode, i.e. trying out various angles for the shot or all his 8,653 Windlight settings, all the while mumbling to himself and from time to time asking my opinion, I went off on my own excursion looking at the sim and my man.

As I sometimes do, I decided to take a snapshot of my lover at work and do my own variation on the same theme. Above you see my take and below is Tomais wonderful photo (posted on Flickr).
