First things first: There are only three more days left in the Bookhabit Unpublished Competition. It’s been a nail-biting week, and after dropping down to 13th place Chainbreaker has managed to claw its way back up to 8th.

But we still need you help if we’re going to remain in the top ten for the next round, so if you’re reading this and you haven’t voted yet I implore you to please take a few moments and do so. It means a lot.

And to all of you who’ve already done so, ♥.

My SL skin! Eet eest finished!

Well, finished enough for sale though I’m sure I’ll continue to dabble on it; I’m still not entirely happy with the join between the abs and hips, but I think I need some Moar Practice in order to make it better. So for now it’s up for sale at OnRez for the low low price of L$50. Huzzah!

And because I needed somewhere to leave my OnRez and SLex dropboxes, I’m now a landowner! A 512 plot in Fenland West called The Haunt. I’d been shopping around for a few days looking for plots and getting more and more despairing at the ugliness of it all. Yesterday, however, I finally got the Lindens to make my buy and, lo, the first (and cheapest) plot I clicked on left me staring right into a neighbour’s yard that had been beautifully terraformed with trees and a waterfall/stream and a scattering of throw pillows. Okay, so the floating “beach mansion” on the other side was pretty uninspired, but compared to the previous lots I’d seen this place was bliss. So I staked it out and rezed my treehouse, set up my studio (essentially just a flat L of prims usually coloured either white or black, as a background to take model shots against), put down my drop boxes and patted myself heartily on the back.

While I was at it, I figured out how to edit prims in-game, which was fun. I can now successfully make squares and lay down different textures per side; go me!

Next on the agenda is terraforming the land some more; putting in some rocks and shrubs and a pond (pond is cool). Then getting to work on Loki’s kilt thing. Huzzah!

Quoted From: H. Jackson Brown Jr.

Great minds have purposes, others have wishes.

Quoted From: Washington Irving

Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we’re looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn’t test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.

Quoted From: P.J. O'Rourke

The world is full of people whose notion of a satisfactory future is, in fact, a return to the idealised past.

Quoted From: Robertson Davies

Long experience has taught me this about the status of mankind with regard to matters requiring thought: the less people know and understand about them, the more positively they attempt to argue concerning them, while on the other hand to know and understand a multitude of things renders men cautious in passing judgement upon anything new.

Quoted From: Galileo Galilei

And because I can’t count:

The welfare of the people is the ultimate law.
(Salus Populi Suprema Est Lex.)

Quoted From: Cicero
