Foggy

Gray Fog

A FOG drifts in, the heavy laden
Cold white ghost of the sea—
One by one the hills go out,
The road and the pepper-tree.
I watch the fog float in at the window
With the whole world gone blind,
Everything, even my longing, drowses,
Even the thoughts in my mind.
I put my head on my hands before me,
There is nothing left to be done or said,
There is nothing to hope for, I am tired,
And heavy as the dead.

The Only Company I Need

The fastest way to make loneliness go away is to turn on some music.  You're never alone when you listen to music.  All of a sudden, you're a singer in the band of your imagination or you're in the audience surrounded by sound waves that hug your soul.

Digits 2015

Strawberry Singh asks how the mesh body revolution has affected our shapes in SL.  Comparing my digits from 2012 to today...not much.



My arms got a little longer, my hips a little narrower, and I'm a bit shorter, but otherwise, my digits are the same - pretty much a standard size M in SL (for comparison, my 2012 digits).  Without shoes, my av is about 6' tall, which seems to be on the short end in comparison to other avatars.

Do you currently own a mesh body? If so, do you wear it all the time or just once in a while?

I own mesh body demos, and they are all very nice, but I feel like since I'm fairly modest in my dress in SL, I don't really need to have a mesh body, and I'm really confused by all the appliers and which clothes fit which body.  I just wear the hands and feet.

How do you feel about mesh bodies in general? 

They're lovely but expensive.

What is one thing you would request from designers when it comes to mesh bodies? 

I guess I don't really have requests for designers.  Mostly, I question why, if designers can create a nice mesh avatar, why can't SL?  It would be nice if, maybe, SL were to hire the people that have created these bodies and have them work together to create a wonderful, new, high quality avatar mesh that is compatible with current system layers with one applier system.  That would be my dream.

Last One

She kept looking, hoping to find another survivor.  She only wanted to hear the sound of another's voice, to feel the sensation of touch on her skin.  So she searched, and she searched, and she searched, and found nothing.  Not even the chirping of a bird or the scurring of a mouse.



Surely, there must be someone else out there.  How is it possible that she is the only survivor?  She can't be alone.



She just can't be.

Technology

Have you noticed the way the whole world seems to be staring at a screen? What is in that screen that we can't find out in the world? Does it make us feel connected in a disconnected world? Relevant in a sea of irrelevance? Comforted in anomie? Focused while surrounded by distraction? Neil Postman says we're just "Amusing Ourselves to Death."  I kinda like Postman.
