"I Love My Troops" says Bock

Today there was another practice at the Swedish Embassy sims in SecondLife.

This blogger talked to generalissimo Bock McMillan immediately after the rehearsal had finished.

He was elated at the great progress his troops had shown and burst out as soon as he saw my press card, "I love my troops, every single one of them! Admittedly they are a group of chatterboxes but they are worth their weight in gold."

The general continues with a huge charming smile all over his handsome face, "Sure there is always a bit of a problem with the anti-authoritarian Mr. A. but he is so cute and talented I wouldn´t do this without him. And Miss Z, what can I say without starting to weep? Adorable, she is simply adorable! And all the rest of them from A to Z are the most talented group of avatars one can have the joy to work with."

Well people, if we can trust general McMillan, it seems we will be in for a treat on Sunday December 12th at 11 am or 1 pm SLT. This blogger certainly will not miss that event!

"And the voices, old chap, the angelic voices of both the men and the women ahhhh pure joy, unadulterated ecstasy...", I hear the general say to another Scandinavian blogger as I sneak away.

It was rumored that the competitors from other pageants in SecondLife had sent alts to get a sneak preview of what the Embassy Lucia pageant was up to, but seemingly the general had told his security to just observe these interlopers "Its a free world and we only kick off people who disturb the peace here! Let them watch and learn" as one of the security agents told me. "We could only wish other sims were not so fast to block out avatars for no clear reasons."

Sofia Talvik Debuts in SecondLife

Sofia Talvik was born on an island just off the west coast of Sweden. Her debut album Blue Moon took forty intense hours to record and the end result is a collection of songs presented virtually intact from the original live studio sessions.

Having earned a reputation as a great live performer, she is frequently playing at clubs in and around Stockholm and throughout Sweden, this is naturally the only way of bringing Sofias gentle, almost fragile voice to you and gives the album a unique sound, making it almost timeless in the sense that it could have been recorded twenty years ago as well as twenty years from now.

2010 is the year when Sofia Talvik celebrates 5 years as an artist. At least if you count from when she released her first album. Since then she’s had air play all over the world, played huge festivals like the Lollapalooza and and established her name amongst the most interesting new singer/songwriters. With her new album ‘Florida’ we’ll get to see a new side of Sofia. Her delicate songs have gained more power and volume and she’s mixed her usual acoustic instrumentation with electric sounds and programmed beats.

On Thursday December 9th, 2010, at 1 pm SLT you can hear Sofia Talvik performing LIVE in SecondLife at OneLove Events. The amazing Swedish builder Aallotar Takaaki has built a special stage for this performance

All tips will go to ECPAT according to Sofias wishes.

Read an interview with Sofia before her SecondLife debut (in Swedish, but there is a Google thingamabob-translator) at "Tinas universum"

Take me to OneLove Events!

Identity Theft

Well I guess I waited too long and someone is having fun...

No worries, that avatar will never have my charming personality and stunning good looks anyway!

Warning SecondLife!

Well-informed sources have today reported that Linden Lab may very well issue the following press release:

"The infamous resident Bock McMillan is said to be back after having logged into real life for a few days. Residents are warned! This avatar may be armed and dangerous, in spite of his stunning good looks and friendly  ways.

Do not try to deal with him alone. If you see him closing in on you, run away and call SL-Security immediately!"

(This is a hoax of course)

Happy Second Rezday, Millimina!

My little sister Millimina Salamander first rezzed into SecondLife on December 6th 2008. It cannot have been long after that when I met her the very first time at a Bara Jonson concert, because to me it seems she has always been in my life.

Milli and Ars got along famously! In fact I think she may be the only female avatar in SecondLife that Ars ever took a liking to or trusted, I think perhaps because they both shared their love for me and recognized it in each other. I introduced her to my son Guyke also and they hit it off too, so after that I knew she must be crazy like all my family because we only get along with crazies. And if she isn´t crazy yet she is getting there fast with our help.

Milli means the world to me. I do not really know how I would have survived the last nine months without her! She loves me for just being me and I love her right back for being exactly who and what she is. There is only one thing about her that really, really, really infuriates me and that is when she starts doubting herself or what she means to me and everyone else.

Milli is everything that is good in this wonderful world and in SecondLife also. She is brave, shy and caring. She is also strong, kind and supportive. She has an astute fashion sense and an open mind and a good eye for the beautiful things in life.

She constantly gives me support when I want it and need it and sometimes even when I don´t want it but still need it. That in no way means that she supports everything I do or have done. Sometimes I wish I had asked her first, at other times I listen to her but still go ahead doing what I had planned.

We both have very strong wills and very clear views on what we like and dislike, which is what I think makes us perfectly matched as siblings.

I love her loads and loads and loads and then some more! 

Happy second rezday, my darling Millimina!

P.S. I hope Guyke remembered to send you the present from me because I am in Stockholm so I cannot be there. And I want you to know that the only reason I am posting this late on your rezday is that I know Apmel has a surprise planned for you!

Away til Tuesday

Dear readers,
This just to let you all know I am logging into real life for a trip to Stockholm lasting two days. There will only be a planned post or two...

You should especially look in here sometime around 12 pm (noon) SLT today Monday! I am hoping that the uproar that special posting may cause will have settled until I am back home on Tuesday evening.

I will miss you!
Bock
