Waiting for an Orca (Updated)

So here we are, the two of us! We have been hanging around here for the last 45 minutes for the damned Orca to come by again.

Tomais happened to see it pass by behind us when we first got here, now the silly thing doesn't want to come back or has perhaps decided that it is camera shy.My hubby is indeed extremely fortunate to be married to The Most Patient man in SecondLife, everyone always tells me that.

The extremely silly orca

Bock McMillan shouts: "You silly animal, you need to come over and go behind the pillars to our left. Is that so difficult to understand?"

Despite the fact that I kept shouting directions to the stupid animal it simply wouldn't cooperate. I thought I would have to have a serious talk with Toby Atlass about his animal training. However, I finally found a way to control the direction it should move in by thumping it on the snout, so now Tomais tells me I should add "Orca Whisperer" to all my other titles and accomplishments.

Update May 12, 2014
And here is the final results of all my hanging around and thumping on orcas.

Victorious

Conchita Wurst from Austria kicked some bigots asses yesterday by winning the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 with by far the highest score.

Austria came in first with 290 points, followed by The Netherlands with 238 points and Sweden in third place with 218 points.

Conchita received the coveted "douze points" from no less than 13 countries and the second highest, ten points, from seven other countries. She received points from every country (with the exclusion of her own Austria) except Armenia, Poland and San Marino. Good going, gurl!

This was good to learn!

Another good thing I learned today was the meaning of the word "facetious". I have stumbled upon it from time to time earlier but have neglected to check it's meaning earlier.

Facetious, /fəˈsēSHəs/, adjective: treating serious issues with deliberately inappropriate humor; flippant.
