Just a blog, a bloggity blog. Intentions-wise. Got any?
I got a notecard from Wick this evening – he’s the owner of Unit 6 which I blogged about not that long ago (although it feels like a decade). He went rabbiting on about his new landmark (yes, Wick, I’ve updated the blog for where the cool skybox can be found) and then about his older place being replaced by a stripjoint. Which does sound reasonably cool, I admit.
In his preparation for getting me to blog the new landmark he inferred he’d sent me a bottle of wine. Yeah, and that one got lost in transit too. Which isn’t something I can really doubt lately. This last 24 hours I bombed out of getting one of the extremely rare New Years turtles laid – despite getting at least sixty eggs over the full 24 hours. With Second Life’s asset server doing it’s best to kill me (or my inventory) I had two of my best layers send me a message telling me they couldn’t lay their eggs because I’d run out of prims. Huh?
I hadn’t run out of prims, according to my land statistics, however my linden dollar amount seems borked, and so does my inventory lately – I’ve suddenly come to the knowledge that a good 1/3 of my assets aren’t actually assested anymore. Gone are the old computer systems and desks that were some of my first second life purchases as a writer. Gone is an extremely expensive personal dance hud, and a couples dance ball – with the dances inside. Gone are godess knows what else which I’ll not realise is missing until such time as I go to get it out.
Not a new phenomenum for many, I’m sure. Which brings me to my New Years resolutions.
Now, normally I don’t have these. I believe in setting goals to change things in real life throughout the year, not waiting until Years start to make big goals I’m never going to keep. But in Second Life, I’ve been working on one for several days now, so I might as well move it over and engrave it as a Second Life New Years resolution – get control of my inventory. I’ve so far been re-inventorising my furniture stock (am too scared to get hold of the clothing department) and looking into those in-world inventory managers which all look like boxes to me. So far, so good – it looks like a bit of a long term goal full of small term little steps.
So, I asked the rest of the family what their SLesolutions might also be?
PacificBlack (what a man!) : 1. ‘To spend more time in-world with you, sweetie’. Ooohhhh….(the last bit was mine) and 2. ‘To get more involved with those animals, maybe’.
Aunty Audrie : ‘I’m too old for resolutions. No regrets. Just live…now you get on with it, too, dear’.
So, there you have it. Our family resolutions for this second life. Well, for two of us, anyway.
