Putin Gives Assholes A Bad Name

The Russian president Vladimir "Little Father" Putin has given an interview to the Italian newspaper Il Corriere della Sera: Vladimir Putin, interview (Full transcript).

The editor Luciano Fontana asked Putin: “Is there an action that you most regret in your life, something that you consider a mistake and wouldn't want to repeat ever again?”

Putin pondered the question for a little while before he responded: “I'll be totally frank with you. I cannot recollect anything of the kind. It appears that the Lord built my life in a way that I have nothing to regret.”

I didn't think I could despise this man more than I already did, but he has now plunged me to previously unchartered depths.

Premium Meetup with the Lindens

I got an email from my good friends at Linden Lab today. It contained an invitation to a meetup! This event is only for premium account holders.
"Join the party! You're invited to a Tiki Beach Bash, just for Premium members! Join us inworld from 10:30-11:30 a.m. (SLT) on Thursday, June 11. You'll get early access to a free SL12B surprise avatar, too! Be sure to claim it before 11:59 p.m. on the 12th or you'll have to wait until it’s available for everyone."

There has been some speculation on the new avatar, judging by the picture in the email the speculations were correct. The new avatar is indeed a dinosaur.

I hope to see y'all there!

To Mr. Kahvy Smith: "You Are Already Old!"

Yesterday I had two discussions with my friend Kahvy.
The first one occurred when I logged into SecondLife and received a gesture from him. It seems we both suffer from being married to men with the same hoarding addiction, boats.

I tried it out on my sweet hubby immediately and this is the reaction I received:
[13:48] Bock McMillan shouts: "** You don't NEED another Boat!!!**"
[13:48] Tomais Ashdene shouts: "Dream on, Monkey Boy!"

I was not at all surprised by that response, and to be quite honest, I don't really mind Tomais buying every damn boat that is put up for sale in SecondLife. Kahvy confessed feeling the same way about Garrett's hoarding. We decided that both our husbands are wonderful men and this little flaw of theirs is not much to make a fuss about.

Later, about ten minutes before midnight CET, Kahvy and my local time, Kahvy got back to me and complained that he "in ten minutes would only have a year left as a young man" because today is his 34th birthday. It seems that he lives in the erroneous belief that the official age of becoming "old" is 35.

I feel the need to correct him and perhaps also sooth him, so my birthday present is this statement.
"Kahvy, my dear friend,
Age is but a number, but always remember that ageing is mandatory but growing old is optional. You need not worry about being 35 in less than a year, because you actually have six more years until you are "old" as the official age of becoming old in the straight culture is 40. 
However, on the other hand in the gay culture, you have already been old since you turned 30 as that is the official age for turning old among us gays. Enjoy the rest of your life as an old queer and get the f-u-c-k over it!
Many happy birthday wishes, my dear old friend!"
