The Importance of Forwarding Your Mail

This is a commercial currently running on Swedish television on the importance of ordering forwarding of your mail when you change your address.

The captions at the end say, "Today Kjell lives with Britt-Marie", "Don't miss important mail" and "Order mail forwarding when you move"

Kjell asks: "A croissant?":
Britt-Marie answers: "No, I'm fine!"

Cute isn't it?

On Anonymous Commenting

Today I have changed the options on Bock in SecondLife concerning commenting.

Anonymous comments will no longer be allowed. The reason for this decision is that lately I have been overwhelmed with spam-comments and that 99.8 % of those who comment anonymously are spammers.

To those of you who have earlier made legitimate comments anonymously I kindly suggest you get a Google Account or some other Open-ID account, as all comments from Registered Users will be allowed. You can choose any name you wish for yourself through these services.

OBR 2013

The day of the One Billion Rising had arrived, I threw myself on the computer when I got home to take part in the fun and the manifestation against men's violence against women. I could not stay very long because I had only slept about three-and-a-half hours the past night so I was very tired.

Despite that I, and despite I most likely was there after most of the Euro´s had logged off and before the Americans logged in there were quite a lot of people assembled. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and met a few nice people, some that I knew already and others that were charming anyway. 

SaveMe Oh, the well-known performance artist had been pre-banned from the event by some meddling fool, but she turned up at the event all the same in the form of her alt Ms. SaveMe Ohare. Even though she behaved like a perfect lady as far as I could judge, the meddling twats kicked her off the sim and banned her anyhow. I despise unforgiving, vindictive and petulant a-*-*-h-o-l-e-s.

Ziggy, my buddy the furry red-striped tiger joined me for awhile, before he had to go off to have dinner. It was nice meeting him again, I haven´t seen or talked much with him since his and my stepson Guykechen's break-up.

I stayed and danced until the sun had set, then I felt the tiredness overwhelming me, so I logged off to write up this post and then crawl to bed for an early night.

Don't Forget!

This is probably the most important event of the year in SecondLife. Lets stand together against men´s violence against women.

ABOUT ONE BILLION RISING
One in three women on the planet will be raped or beaten in her lifetime.

One billion women violated is an atrocity
One billion women dancing is a revolution

ONE BILLION RISING IS:
A global strike
An invitation to dance
A call to men and women to refuse to participate in the status quo until rape and rape culture ends
An act of solidarity, demonstrating to women the commonality of their struggles and their power in numbers
A refusal to accept violence against women and girls as a given
A new time and a new way of being

Join the manifestation!

Hanging at Whim

Tonight I went to Whim, the trance club owned and operated by my buddy Butch Diavolo. DJ Heloq Tomsen was spinning interesting psych trance music.

The atmosphere at the club was friendly and relaxed and that was what I needed today. I have to get up early tomorrow morning to take a flight at 07.30. And as those who know me already know, I absolutely detest early mornings and especially early morning flights.

Great Stores

I don´t usually blog about businesses in SecondLife, but today I am making an exception and mentioning two that have helped me lately.

First I would like to thank Vista Barnes, of Vista Animations, personally.

I lost my favorite walk of all times, the boxerwalk, when I rashly deleted an Animation Override HUD without pulling out that walk first. When I could no longer find it on sale in his shop, I contacted Vista who sent me the desired walk at once.   

Now I can once again proudly walk around in SecondLife looking as if I am rolling Swedish meatballs between my buttocks. Thank you so much, Vista, for the excellent service you provided and for your excellent animations that are fit for a king, nay even for a vain laird.

The second business I would like to thank is HUMANOID, owned by Marcus Adkins, for the excellent help and service they provided when I - through confusion caused by my #01587329-problem - managed to loose the dance-pack I had bought.

Yes, the store did have an excellent redelivery system, but it was difficult for me to find it when I was moving around uncontrollably, so the helpful staff teleported me in place and taught me how to operate the state-of-the-art system.

The dances I bought, pretty awesome huh?

I would like to make it perfectly clear that I am in no way affiliated to or rewarded by the above-mentioned companies.

Mocking Bock

The photo was stolen/borrowed/quoted from Teno Teriac´s blog teno tc´s as a down payment for the damages due to me for the extreme pain and suffering caused by his and Craig's/Atreyu´s mockery of my stuttering yesterday.

It seems that while I relogged to try and sort out the "problems" that have been my affiliations the last 3-4 months, the two bad, bad boys agreed to start imitating my stammering. I loved it!
