Something I'd love to hear from you all about: Do you play Second Life, and if so:
1) Do you love it lots?
2) Do you make items or do you buy them?
3) If you make items, do you sell them and make a good profit?
4) Do you participate in the HP and other fandom groups there?
I ask all of this because I've started in with SL because of an old MUSH friend of mine. It looks very cool (though it runs surprisingly slow on my computer because of the massive amounts of 3D rendering, etc), and I'm considering dedicating more time and attention to it, learning how to script, etc. I'm fascinated by the idea that I can play in a game which gives me the potential of actually making real money if I play it right and work at it. In past I've enjoyed playing the auction house in World of Warcraft and City of Heroes/Villains, so who knows? Heck, I could even get a job there to make money too. It's pretty amazing. You can even take classes from RL Universities there, etc etc. One day it might be nice to be able to take those classes and apply them towards a degree.
Moving onwards...
Woe! I've been neglecting my flist! But I've gone from skip=460 to skip=260. Er...
Woe! I've been neglecting work today!
Speaking of work:
I have such an urge to put up signs in the women's bathroom:
"If you cannot bring yourself to sit on the daily-cleaned bathroom seat with or without a toilet seat cover, then please do us all the favor of lifting the seat before you spray, or go outside in the bushes."
Grrrr!
I've also been tempted by a shiny iPod Touch (the 32GB version). A couple of my friends advised I wait as in June there is supposed to be another firmware upgrade, and it's always possible they might give us a 64GB version seeing as flash memory's hardly expensive anymore!
And lastly, I'm pleased to note that come August, I may be auditioning to be in a choir. I've missed singing so much, and this group does the wonderful classical pieces I enjoyed in Concert Choir rather than the cheesy sort of songs I did as a kid in Elementary school. What I'm most nervous about is having to sight sing as part of the audition as well. I'd better get some stuff to practice with. |
