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.

Art?

Stairway to Heaven" by Gert Wingårdh

This stair rises 18 meters over the ground and leads to nothing. It weighs six tons and is made of corrugated steel that is painted black. It was created by the architect Gert Wingårdh.

I will admit that it is a constructed object, but is it art? 

Midsummer's Eve

Today is the day of the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere. The solstice marks the peak of summer and takes place when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. After today, the days get shorter until the winter solstice on December 21 when they start to get longer again.

The day is also called Midsummer's eve and is in Sweden, together with Christmas, the traditionally most celebrated holiday of the year. Midsummer is however without a doubt the most loved of the two. Contrary to Christmas there is no pressures or obligations of consorting with relatives, cooking huge festive meals or buying gifts.

On midsummer you hang out with friends and people you like. No gifts are involved and meals can be extremely simple to prepare but still delicious. Besides the weather is warm, daylight lasts around the clock - almost - and it never gets really dark though.

For meals you can get by with boiling small, new potatoes (preferably just washing them lightly in water first to get the dirt off but without peeling them) with some dill, boiling a couple of eggs, opening one or more cans or jars of pickled herring, pouring up some sour cream and cutting some chive. Nothing more is needed except possibly beer or aquavit for snaps. For dessert you simply use fresh strawberries with some cream and a little sugar (if you must). It's absolutely delicious!

If you wish, you can go out go into the bright summer night and pick seven different kinds of flowers and tuck them under your pillow, so that maybe - if you're lucky - you may dream of your future husband or wife. 

Happy Midsummer, dear friends and readers of Bock in SecondLife!. 

The Pool Party With DJ Tor

This evening I listened to DJ Tor Rhiannyr for the first time,. It was an extremely pleasant experience. Of course the fact that the two of us were surrounded  by hordes of near naked, gorgeous, fabulous, hunky and breathtakingly beautiful men can have influenced me, but I do not usually let such trivialities cloud my judgement.

Both Guyke and Butch had deserted me by now, leaving me to try and cope with the extremely invigorating circumstances., Guyke to meet up with Ziggy for some hanky panky while Butch had wandered off on some mysterious important mission.

Sarco Halderman (the blond stud) seemed to enjoy his company

I and sexy Zim Gunsberg in pleasant conversation about possible new skins for
me as Butch  had recently told  me that I looked "old", the cheeky little bugger.

Myself with an as yet unknown Scotsman,. Can you notice my furtive glances at him?  The poor man was totally oblivious of me, even though I at times was climbing all over him.

Weylin and his partner Lee were the most beautiful couple of the evening

Lo Stallone Italiano

Daimon, Heloq and Dodo

DJ Heloq Tomsen is a rather new acquaintance to me. although he has been around for a long time. I cannot understand how I can have missed him until two nights ago, but there it is - I did. 

I enjoy his style and his music very much. Heloq has a very calm and assertive manner with lots of charm and humor, it's very "macho" but in an unobtrusive way. In my mind I like to think of him as "the Italian stallion", hence the title of this post.

Guyke, I, Kharissa & Butch

My son Guyke and my buddy Butch accompanied me to the set. The three of us and the rest of the audience had a great time during the two hours the set lasted.
