Weather ... Wet Weather actually ...
that's what we have around here for quite a while now ...
and last Saturday I had to ride my bicycle 11km through that damn wet (and stormy) weather late in the evening, just to see a show of Karaoke Till Death ... Punk/Metal/Rock Karaoke with an awesome live-Band, but it was worth it, had a lot of fun (listening only tho, I had my own kind of karaoke a week ago already, maybe I'll post about that later *grins*) ...
W could be for weeping too ... maybe when finding out that I was kicked off a friendlist ... but then again, I must admit I'm hardly online anymore ... and when I am online ... I hardly talk ... I'm not a good friend ... (but I didn't weep)
or when I packed my stuff at Namhae on Tuesday and left the land that was my home and mainstore for more than a year ... I ran out of L$, so I'm kinda homeless now ...

but I didn't weep either, cause I didn't even care much tho I liked the place ...
the only thing that drove me crazy was my constant crashing that day ...
but well ... Here I go again.......

which brings me to my fav W Band? ... I was a hardcore Whitesnake fan once ;-)
... saw them live twice and loved it (guess I still do)
Enjoy

Bye 2011 ... Hi 2012

2012-01-02T00:23:00.000+01:00

So 2011 is successfully finished ...

it was mostly a good year for me personally ... and there was no better way than to end it with a gig at a silvester party ;-)

Too bad that our drummer was sick as I really love playing with him, but he sent a great substitute ... and we had a lot of fun :-)

hehe ... might be the only time that you can see me on stage in a long skirt ;-)

In 2012 I want to focus even more on music (starting with the 3KS concert on Thursday ... YaY) ... which prolly means on the other hand even less time for SL ... but a day unfortunately got only 24 hours ... and a lot of them are wasted on sleeping and working ;-) ...

I saw that Luna set up round 2 for the colour challenge ...

I might try a nice colour now and then ... but sure not every week ...

I even have to drop a shift at Sanctuary Rock from time to time (like today ... and I was a bit sad when I read UC's message that he wanted to play Toxic Waste during his Punk event, but I was still sleeping after the gig) ... and might give up my rented land ...

Atm I'm looking forward to some refreshing changes in my life ...

so 2012 is welcome ;-)

I hope everyone of you will have a happy and great year

*hugs*

Vanity ...
having a blog is a kind of vanity ... isn't it ...
and sometimes I get stuck in routine ... or stuck in bad mood ...
or just stuck ...
then it's fine to remember something I haven't done for quite a while ...

Guen has already finished it ... Sun and Locke seem to have stopped it ...

and Mir is still on it of course ...

I haven't given up the Alphabet challenge ...

it will just take me a bit longer as I'm too busy with other stuff right now

and I'm a bit uncertain about my SL future ...

will see what the next year will bring ...

it might be time to move on ... fully back to RL ...;-)

anyway ... here's a cool U song ...

It was a cool time with them :-D

Too bad the club's lighting was too 'cozy' to use my cam for filming ...

so here's ToxicWaste in France instead

Enjoy

Sadness ... I felt a lot lately ... even tho I wasn't directly connected to all of what happened, it touched me deeply ...

Scheisse ... a word I thought and used to often the last days ...

Sorry , that I used it here ... but sometimes it got to get out ...

But today was the first time that I felt really good again ...

a nice rehearsal (not good, but funny) ...

2 fun music project coming during december ..

and best of all ... Kulturschock tomorrow ... with Toxic Waste playing ... YaY

I think you can guess what my 'T'-post will be about ;-)

oh ... and I can recommend you a very interesting S ... as in Sundevildaddy

He is, along with Guen, Mir and Locke, a co-challenger at this alphabet thing ...

and even tho I missed the C-Poem, Carpe Diem ... /me winks at the Sun ;-) ...

... Problem ...

today in my lunchbreak, when I was chewing my soft chewing gum, I suddenly bit on something hard ... damn ... my provisorium ...
and of course it broke ...
So I had to go to the dentist to get a new one ...
it doesn't feel too good, but I have an appointment at the dentist for wednesday to get my crown ... so I'll survive ... lol
I wonder if I'll be a queen, with 3 crowns then or if I need more ...

did I need another reason to stop chewing gum?
My dear french LoonAtic sent me the link to this clip this evening ...
WARNING ... it is kinda ... erm ... YURGH

kk ... and now I got a problem with my daily portion of chewing gums ... always that clip on my mind ...
TY Dom Dom ;-P

erm ... to distract from that ...

... Machinima ...
I love to create those lil clips in SL ...
but I'm aware that I'm far from being good at that ...
I'd need better equipment (computer, software), better planning ... and most important ... more time ...
Up to now the littles movies always are quite different from the original idea ... lol

so I'd like to show you a machinima created by Bryn Oh, an amazing SL artist ... I love the atmosphere in those installations ... and the story of the Rabbicorn moved me ...

an as a contrast ... back to something slightly harder ;-)

Misfits with 'Die Die Die, My Darling'
Enjoy

and because I'm in torturing mood ... *grins* ...
here is the same song with one of my 3KS projects ... lol

Kulturschock ... the Kulturschock Festival in Koblenz
It's a Festival on Friday Dec 2, with 31 bands playing in 10 pubs/clubs/locations ...
with only 1 ticket for 5€ you can try to see them all, tho that's almost impossible ...
there are several bands I'd like to watch ...
but there's one band I definately won't miss ...
... TOXIC WASTE ... /me does the happy dance ;-)))))

I'm so glad we could get those french guys to play at our festival ;-)

Unfortunately there's no 'K' in Toxic Waste ... so I give you another cool band.
I've seen them last year at Wallenpop ... and they were awesome
So have fun with Krach verKracht which includes 3 very dancable songs ;-)
Enjoy

Oh ... and I found another song with 'K' ... *grins*
This one goes out to Laila, who wanted to see me and hubby playing bass together ...
Now there's usually only 1 bass-player in a band ... and I'm rarely together on stage with my hubby anyway ... so this is prolly the closest you will get of us ... ;-P
erm ... guess I could have filed it under 'e' as embarrassing as well ... lol
Kick Out The Jams played by one of my 3KS projects
(and don't drop off your chair laughing!!!)

... cause that's where we spent our summer holiday this year ;-)))

it's a wooden igloo ... on a campsite in Hellevoetsluis (NL) ... and my whole family fell in love with it ;-)
So if you should ever happen to visit Hellevoetsluis ... check it out on Camping 't Weergors ... but not on Wallenpop weekend ... that's when we will always occupy it ;-)

and now Elegantly Wasted by INXS ... mmmmhhhh ... what a smexy song ;-P
Enjoy

H is for ...

2011-11-12T23:49:00.001+01:00

... french accent ...

kk ... this might look like cheating ... but I just love it ... and it becomes very obvious when they use words that start with H, like 'hello', 'hotel' or 'hear' ...
I can almost hear his accent, when I chat with my french loonatic and he sometimes seems to add or drop 'h' randomly ... so cute ... it just doesn't happen too often ;-P

kk ... I try to have a more H-matching song at least ...

a song from my Southern Rock Past ... ZZTop with Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers

G is for ...

that's when music is the most fun ... no matter if I listen only or play myself ...
any music can groove ... no matter what style ...
when it grooves ... my feet start moving all by themselves ... I cannot sit still ...
and I start to wiggle ... erm ... kinda ... I cannot dance in RL ... so I better call it hopping or something like that ;-)
when it grooves I feel total happiness and can forget what's going on around me ...

well ... as G is for Groove ... here is a hell of a groovy song by Infectious Grooves ... ;-)

Embarrassing - Eternity

Guess I'm quite good at embarrassing moments ... I run into them often enough ...
Sometimes I know right away 'Ah, shit' ... and in an instant you can read that in my face (I never can hide it)
and sometimes it takes me a lil while to realize ... and just blush a lil bit later ...
and those moments usually feel like eternity ... *grins*

Eternity by Robbie Williams ... I just love this song, no matter how soppy it might be
Enjoy

Oh ... talking of embarrassing ...
some years ago I could have died for such a kiss from Robbie ... ;-p
o.o ... embarrassing, huh?

Rainbow for Luna

2011-11-08T22:57:00.000+01:00

The Colour Challenge is taking a break ... time for a BIG TY to Luna ;-)

even tho I wasn't as creative as Rudh, who managed to squeeze all 52 Colours in one post in a real fun way ...
I could grab some rain and some sun to join Kaelyn Alecto's idea of a
Rainbow for Luna ;-)

... Daemon

there are lots of daemons, demons, Dämonen in my life, I'm pretty sure ...

** I just finished reading 'DAEMON' , a high-tech thriller by Daniel Suarez ... a book I could hardly put aside ... and even tho it seemed a bit exaggerated to me at the end, I sure wanna read part 2 'Freedom' soon.

** my computers (private and at work) are inhabited by DAEMONs as well ... not only because a daemon is a computer program that runs as a background process, rather than being under the direct control of an interactive user, found on any multitasking computer operating systems (wikipedia) ... but because computer can and quite often do break my balls ... erm ... kinda ;-p

** I love my DAEMON outfit from Bare Rose ... kk, it's a Nidhogg ... but I use it as demon outfit ... ;-)

** and I got my personal DAEMONs ... nameless ... hated and loved as well ... I try to fight them now and then ... not sure if I really wanna get rid of them ... they are a part of me ...

and while looking for a DAEMON-song ... I found Fiddler's Green - Victor and his Demons
not exactly what I usually listen to ... but I quite like it ;-)
enjoy

C is for ...

2011-11-07T23:27:00.000+01:00

erm ... C is one of those letters I actually don't like much ...
and yesterday, when I wondered about what 'C'-word to use for this post, my lil pea brain was blank ... or maybe I was just tired ...
So I asked my french loonatic for a cool C-word and I won't repeat the first words he gave me *grins*
Dom Dom sagt (21:52):
what is a cool word ?
Maria sagt (21:53):
don't know ... a word I can blog about ... 'C' is next and I got no idea for it
Dom Dom sagt (21:55):
chien, collier, caramel, criterium, courge, crédibilité, courir, crayon, circuler, ceindre, crue, création, corolle

kk ... those are french words, but there's no rule that they can't be, is it?
I'm not into dogs and collars ... mmmhhh caramel ;-) ... oh ... got it ... cookie, cake and chocolate are C-words too ... and I love them ;-) ... I like to run ... crayons - colours ... I loved that challenge ... and I love to create (even I create chaos mostly) ...

Hey .... C isn't such a bad letter ... it's cool ;-P
hehe ... 'cool' is one of my fav words ...

and my C-band is 'Les Crevettes' ... a local band I admire ... and I had watched them live again just a few days ago ... so cool - btw. I got them in my sidebar since ages ... I love when Sven does his growling ;-)
enjoy

btw. looks like this is a daily challenge ... will see if I can keep up with Mir ... and it's cool that Guen joined too :-))

Bass

... when I started to play bass about 30 years ago (OMG ... that long ago !!!), I did so because it had only for strings ... easier than 6 strings to manage for a pea brain like me ;-)
I never became a good bass player, but I always had ... and still have lots of fun with my good old '79 Fender Bass ;-)

And when I look at all the cool bass players I got to know over the years (and I'm even married to a bass player ... *grins*) ... I must say, they are quite special somehow ... in a very positive way ...
well ... let's have a tasty beer on all the cool bass players ...

and listen to Metallica's bassman Cliff Burton ... who was taken away way too early

52 Colours - 15 Favs

2011-11-05T22:47:00.000+01:00

... so Luna asked us to show our 15 fav pics at the end of the 52 Colours Challenge ...

wellllllllllll ... I CAN'T DO it .....

it would be easier to name my 15 worst pics or posts ... lol
The Challenge has been so much fun ... the year passed by like a month or something ...
and when I looked at all the posts, it brought back so many memories ... even some not related to the challenge itself ... lol
During the challenge I got to know so many cool co-bloggers ... admired their choices, styles and skills ... and peeped into the world of SL fashion on their blogs ...
I grabbed the chance to do quite some nonsense pics ... dived into making lil machinimas (oh ... there's still so much to learn) ... and even created quite some outfits and props, tho most of them not for sale ...
I recieved so many nice comments ... (and unfortunately ran out of time to comment on all the other blogs I looked at, sorry) ... a big thank you to all of you ;-))))

As I feel that I did 2 different kind of postings, I cheated a bit and made two Fav-15 collections ...
there were those post where I liked the pic itself or the idea behind the post ...

#3-Goldenrod ... #7-Cerise ... #8-Green ... #9-Silver ... #11-Indigo ... #21-White ... #22-BananaMania ... #23-Asparagus ... #24-Eggplant ... #25-Periwinkle ... #32-Jade ... #39-Melon ... #42-Chartreuse ... #45-Bronze ... #49-Wenge

and of course those posts with moving pictures - either anigifs or machinimas - ... plus 1 comic and 1 slideshow ...
Tho those posts usually meant a lot of work, they were the most fun to do ...
maybe because they often required co-workers ... and I love those girls and guys who helped me there and who were so patient with me ... ;-P

#2-Blue ... #10-Sienna ... #12-Taupe ... #13-Emerald ... #14-Black ... #15-Red ... #16-Teal ... #17- ElectricLime ... #20-SkyBlue ... #26-Tangerine ... #27-Olive ... #36-Celadon ... 40-Apricot ... #48-MossGreen ... #50-Mulberry

and ... erm ... ok ... there are still 2 colours missing ... PINK and RUBY

PINK is filmed but not cut yet, due to technical problems (and lack of time)
RUBY could have been done by now if SL hadn't been bad with me when Rudh was already dressed up and waiting, but all I got was me ruthed and nekkid with a tiny piece of Ruby, no relog, cache clearing, whatever did help ... and when my french loonatic gave me the right tip how to get myself back, it was already too late ... and after that ... see above ... (lack of time) ...
But it will be done before Round 2 (starting in January) ... I'm already looking forward to all the new colourful posts, co-working and fun ;-))))

oh ... and before I forget it ... TY Luna, for starting all this ;-)))

A is for ...

2011-11-05T13:09:00.001+01:00

ALTERNATIVE

so I found an alternative challenge while the 52 Colours Challenge is taking a break ...
Got it from Mir's blog ... and tho it seems to be rather a challenge between Mir and Locke, she also kinda invited others to join her.
It's an Alphabet Challenge ... I'm not sure if it's daily, weekly, monthly or random ... don't know if there's any rule beside that it's in alphabetical order ... but I usually make my own rules anyway as you prolly have noticed ... *grins*

So this challenge for me will be about anything that's on my lil pea brain mind, not necessarily about SL, prolly often without a pic, but hopefully always with a band or a song with a matching letter ;-P

ALTERNATIVE as in option ... I'm always trying to check alternatives ... some ppl say I just cannot make up my mind ... that might be true and be one of my many weaknesses ... but I hate to have to stick to only one given way ...
and of course ...

ALTERNATIVE as a musical style which I quite like ;-)

which leads me to my musical A as in ALICE IN CHAINS ... damn ... they have such awesome tunes !!!
enjoy

52 Colours - #52 - Orange

2011-10-30T19:03:00.000+01:00

......aaaaAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH .....

this is THE END ... isn't it?

ALAS !!! ... my final post for Luna's 52 Colours Challenge ...

... and being eaten by a malicious pumpkin ...

Na Na Na Na Naaa Naaaaaaa ....

Nope ...

it's neither me being a Halloween victim ...

I just had to clean that darn thing to be shiny and bright for the challenge colour ...

ORANGE ... and housework definately is a PITA for me ...

nor is this my last colour post ...
I still have to catch up 2 colours ...
and Luna wants us to pic our fav 15 colour-posts next week ...
THAT will be TOUGH !!!

While I tried to clean that Halloween monster ... I recieved the sweetest package ever ...
from my fav actress and friend Rudh...
I opended it carefully ... and a lil puff hopped onto my shoulder ...

isn't it a c.l.b. ... so fluffy ... and look at that tiny tongue ;-)
TY hun ;-)))) ... lub ya ;-)

and SL reminded me that it's Halloween time, by smuggling in this pic between my shots today ... lol

CREEPY ;-)

52 Colours - #50 & 51 - Mulberry & Cream

2011-10-23T19:28:00.000+02:00

A few days ago I got an invitation to watch an exclusive extraterrestrial fashion show ...
So I put on a nice simple CREAM costume and got ready for a short trip to the stars ...
But when I had just stepped outside, I discovered a run in my new cream stockings ...
... DARN ...

but too late ... the show event of the year wouldn't wait for me ...
so I grabbed the next tp ... ready for MULBERRY .....
Be invited to come with me and be amazed ... ;-))

I must admit ... when I saw Rudh's amazing dress, I wanted hide behind some planet far away ... what a gorgeous choice ...
and as usual I have to thank her for all the patience with me ... it was fun tho to make her run up and down the catwalk ... ;-P

btw ... Rudh had suggested Marilyn Manson's 'Sweet Dreams' ... but when I accidently stumbled over Probot's 'Sweet Dreams' ... I just couldn't resist Dave Grohl and King Diamond ;-)
and I found out that I actually love to stand on a stage, in SL as well as in RL ... lol

Next week will be the last colour of Luna's 52 colours (wow ... how time passed by) ... ORANGE

But I'm lucky ... I still have 2 colours to catch up, both lil movies ...
that should keep me busy till the challenge continues or till I find a new one ... lol

52 Colours - #49 - Wenge

2011-10-08T08:26:00.000+02:00

....... mmmmmhhhhh ......

I want the cake with the chocolate please ... or maybe the one with strawberries ... or sugar icing ....
I would take them all ... if someone could just help me get a lil closer ...

As comfy as this box is ... made of best WENGE-wood ...
moving is damn tough ;-P
btw ... you'll find this tasty stuff at Stoopidly Kool Mainstore

For next week Luna wants us to do Mulberry ...
And as it will be a tenner, there'll be a special co-op again ...
and be prepaired for some fashion ... erm .. kinda ... *grins*
I might be a bit late tho, as I'll spend the whole next week in Berlin ...
YAY ... vacations ;-)))))

52 Colours - #48 - Moss Green

2011-10-01T08:25:00.000+02:00

Did you ever get lost in the woods ...
I just did while I was trying to find a nice place with MossGreen ...
Well ... actually only my cam got stuck in the prims of the trees and it took me some hard work to fimd myself ... erm ... like pressing ESC ... ;-P
Anyhow ... I didn't mind cause I was at such a beautiful place :
Misty Mountains and I played with some windlight setting, so I got a nice foggy fall morning ... just like in my RL these days ...
and did some pics for a lil slideshow ...
but damn ... when I wanted to upload the pics to slide.com, I got the notice that Slide.com will be shutting down in March 2012 ... and my 93 slideshows and my guestbook on my blog will stop working ... SH..!!!!
Anyway ... I got my new pics up to my photobucket account, and as long as there's no nekkies on them it will be fine too ... I just liked the templates and possibilities in slide ....

and here's a pic taken on my way to RL work yesterday morning ...

I so love these misty mornings

And for next week Luna expects us to do Wenge ... oh bugger ... I'm just glad that's not week 40 yet, when I'll do that team thing with Rudh again ... you'll see in week 40 why ;-P

52 Colours - #39 & 47 - Melon & Khaki

This week's colour made me kinda adventurous ...
So I put on the 'Sexy Safari' outfit I got from Bare Rose ages ago ... sometime in my first SL year ;-)
I must admit I tinted it a tiny bit ... and voila ... Khaki Pants and Melon Shirt ...
and ready to go hunting ;-))
oh Dear ... lions can look so dangerously close thru the field glasses ;-P

but I'm a first class hunter ... got me an XXL lion ... *grins* .... mmmmmhhhhh ... so tasty ;-))

This 'Virtual Africa' is a really nice spot to relax ...
damn ... I should have shot some marshmellows to roast ;-P

For next wext week Luna wants us to do Moss Green ... got no idea for it yet, but I like that colour ;-)

Those singing DJs ...

2011-09-18T21:35:00.000+02:00

... aren't they gorgeous?!?
I heard Sundevildaddy sing ... UC enjoying everyone (damn, I usually miss recording him, cause it's early Sunday morning for me and the place is always packed, which means danger of crashing when running Fraps) ... Imdy performed the best song of the world ...
and today ... yay ... Erika did it again ;-))))
my Saturday morning (the friday midnight) was quite disastrous ... alarm rang too early, I had no DJ cause my new reg DJ Missy had an RL emergency, my recently pulled out tooth sent greetings from nirvana, mood was kinda at the bottom and crowd gone ... lol
Sunday morning was such a good contrast there ... lots of nice folks at the club, UC singing better than ever ;-), ltns Dylon and Bagor had stopped by, I crashed only once, I had Fraps ready (ty Imdy) ... and Erika did sing, well, tried inspite of all the giggling ... I so love that ...
/me lubs you folks ;-))
enjoy

52 Colours - #42, 43 & 46 - Chartreuse, Liver & BrickRed

2011-09-18T11:34:00.000+02:00

So I was in a daring mood yesterday ...
and tested the mesh-version of the Firestorm viewer even tho it's a Beta ...
I don't have any mesh stuff ... but I wanted to see Depth of Field !!!!
and hell yeah ... I LOVE it ...
and if I had a stronger computer and not a netbook, I guess I'd never turn it off again ... lol
So you have to bear with my experimental versions of catching up colours ;-)
3 in fact ... Chartreuse, Liver and BrickRed ...

You know what, it might look promising to break thru your own brickwalls with the help of some tasty green (or other) alki stuff ...

fun for a while ...

but sooner or later ...

Well, Miss Loon, that's not what a liver is supposed to look like ... and now ... could you please just lay down again, so we can try to make the best of a bad job ...

For next week Luna wants us to do Khaki ... sounds like Safari and Adventure to me
and I try to catch up some more colours as there's not much time left anymore ...

Later I tested DoF in a more crowded place, when I followd a tp from Ozark to RockU ...
amazing how life can be slowed down ... total loss of any hectic ... lol

I still love how you can focus on stuff and ppl with that ;-)

erm ... you don't call that dancing, Oz ... do you?

52 Colours - # 40 & 41 - Apricot & Jazzberry

2011-09-11T23:24:00.001+02:00

WOW ... I hadn't posted for about 2 weeks .. and now 2 posts (and 4 colours) in 1 day ;-))

and what's even better ... it's a tenner ... one of the 'every 10th' with Rudh ...

a challenge within the challenge, cause Rudh threw down the proverbial gauntlet for me

and it only took me more than 4 weeks to finish it ... hehe

made me almost die from laughing several times ... you are warned hereby ...

So .. without further ado welcome Mr. Mayo and the Love of his Life

I'm pretty sure there isn't just Apricot in Rudh's breathtaking outfits (yep ... both of them *grins*), but in Mr. Mayo's vest too ... and the Jazzberry can be found in his cassis pop ... a drink I had found during my vacation visiting the Dutch and which I imported right into SL. It's actually created from the can I brought with me ... it looks so cool (but the pop tastes ... well ... erm ... let's say, I don't need to drink it again ... hehe)

hm ... 2 more colours ... not bad, huh, ... it leaves me only 6 to catch up atm ... including #28 Pink ... which is causing me some unexpected problems ... but I cannot have Miss Laura18 Streeter look like THIS just because my bluebox thinks PINK is BLUE ....

But I'll get it sorted out before xmas ... PROMISED !!!

52 Colours - #44 & 45 - Firebrick & Bronze

2011-09-11T22:23:00.000+02:00

Just when I was trying to find an idea for the Firebrick post, I got an invitation from Billeh for a nice evening ...

Billeh Boxen: you should pick out somthing nice :) an im not tellin you were im takin you, just gotta trust me ^^
Mayala Loon: what is 'something nice' ?
Billeh Boxen: a dress or somthing that suits you nicely :)
...

Billeh Boxen: well i would prefer formal i think it would look much better :)

YEP ... didn't think it would cause any trouble ...
but ...
have you ever tried rushing to the loo fully dressed up in a voluminous gown ??!!??

kk ... it's not as if I would run out of gowns fast ... so I redressed and followed Billeh's tp

just to get showered and soaking wet, to climb a rope, walk over a hill and thru the jungle, to crash into trees and a private house (and get ejected from there) while trying to paraglide, to roast marshemellows in the campfire ...

click to enlarge ;-)in short ... to have a lot of fun (too bad I missed taking more pics)
TY again for a nice evening, Billeh ;-)

and before I forget ... the FireBrick gown ... actually part of my 'IndianSummer'outfit is part of the next Fab 50 Tuesday ... formerly known as Fab 50 Weekend ... for 50L$ only ;-)

and pssst ... as I'm not online that often, it's already out at my LoonAticWear mainstore and will stay for a few days ;-)

OH ... yeah ... there was another colour I wanted to catch up on, right ?!?

well ... I found just the right place for some trashy Bronze Art ... *grins*
I wonder how the bronce-relief got there, thought I had given it into the bulky waste ;-P

WhoooHooo two less colours to catch up ...
and watch out, the next 2 colours ... including an exciting appearance again ...
are already knocking at the door ... so stay tuned ;-))

Time to play ... ?!?

2011-08-21T21:44:00.004+02:00

I've been to Cologne yesterday .. with my family ...
we wanted to visit the gamescom ... 'the world's largest trade and media platform in the game sector' ...
and it started for us with an almost 1 hour traffic jam for the last 15 km ...
just to be told that, after we finally arrived, they had stopped letting ppl in for security reasons ...
thousands of ppl waiting outside in the heat ... and we had 2 very dissapointed lil boys with us ...
so we decided to take a walk into the city of Cologne ... find something tasty to eat ... and come back later ...
I wonder if they'll ever close Cologne for security reasons ... the town was quite packed too ... lol
In the afternoon we managed to get into the gamescom ;-)))
masses of ppl ... you could wait ages to play the more interesting stuff ... and my ears were soon beeping ... it was loud as a rock concert ;-P
and I got arrested by 2 troopers ... erm ... must admit 2 good looking troopers ... *grins*

but they let me go ... phew ... as I wanted to go to a small, kinda private, festival in the evening, where meeting long-time-no-see-friends made the day even better ;-)
I love weekends like that ;-))))

When Hoochie Sings ...

2011-08-13T22:31:00.004+02:00

... after my holiday break I'm back to hosting at Sanct ... and besides that almost everything there kinda changed while I was away ... I was glad to find that Imdy was my DJ for the Friday Midnight ... something that prolly will become rather rare in the future ....
I missed the tunes and the ppl during the last 2 weeks, but the connection on the campsite was rather poor ... lol
The more happy I was when Imdy announced the most beautiful song ever written by anyone ...
/me lubs the crisco Hoochie ;-)))

and guess what ... I recorded it for YOU ...
and now I proudly present ...
When Hoochie Sings from the Heart
enjoy ;-)

and while I'm at presenting stuff and goodies ...
here's a tiny Slideshow I made from a selection of my Wallenpop 2011 pics
too bad that I only used my SRL for shooting lil clips there ... the sound is too desasterous ...
but some of the bands are worth looking up on youtube
for example
Rats on Rafts ...
De Stokers ... (I already posted one of their clips)
and of course Peter Pan Speedrock - they sounded a bit like Motörhead on speed, damn they were fast and loud as hell ... and definately fun ;-)))
and look out for Dikke Dennis ... the guy in the white shirt with red dots ... *grins*

Last Day in Hellevoet

2011-08-06T09:48:00.004+02:00

yep ... unfortunately it's our last day In Hellevoetsluis ... ;-(
but fortunately it's the day of WALLENPOP ;-)))
so I'm looking forward to 12 hours of cool music and hopefully hardly any rain ...

the festival area with the 2 stages you see on the pic above will prolly already start filling up by now ... and I'll hurry to get breakfast done and then I'll head over to the vesting ;-)

When I'm back home tomorrow, I'll start to catch up with the still missing colours from the colour challenge ... and my pea brain already picked up the gauntlet, that Rudh had kinda thrown ;-)
Good Times are ahead ;-)))
cya ;-*

Blog Hero Challenge - #1 & 2

2011-07-27T02:13:00.007+02:00

so there are more blog-challenges to be found lately ... as I saw on Rudh's and Guen's blogs ...
and the one that I found most interesting for me is the Blog Hero Challenge from Shay, which is already in it's 2nd week ...
I'll prolly not be able to do it every week, but I try to keep up at least in the beginning ;-)
the task is to do a picture/create a scene to some song-lyrics given by Shay ...
In my case it will prolly not always be SL-related ... I think I'll rather play a lot with gimp with whatever pic or idea I can grab hold on ;-)

week #1 ... 'Crying in the Rain' (a-ha)

"I’ll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I got my pride and i know how to hide
All my sorrow and pain

I do my crying in the rain"

week #2 ... 'Don't Fear the Reaper' (Blue Oyster Cult)

"All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain..we can be like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand...don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly...don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man..."

I admit this one is kinda continuing an idea I had for the 'white'-week from the colour challenge ;-P

no more work ...

2011-07-26T00:10:00.008+02:00

well ... at least for 2 weeks ;-)
and it looks like I cannot have a longer time off work without getting sick at some point ... lol
on Sunday morning I already started to feel sick during my shift at Sanct ... unfortunately maybe my last reg shift with Hoochie DJ Imdy, as RL will require her to have an earlier bedtime for a while, but I'm sure we can do other shifts together now and then, and I wish her all the best for her school stuff ;-))
So ... sunday was a bad day ... but today I already felt better again ... and was able to finish the first book of several books I want to read during my holidays ...
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time ... by Mark Haddon
A book that made me smile and ,I admit, cry as well ...
and I loved reading it because it gave me the chance to see a story from a quite unusual point of view ...

and I have to apologize to my daughter that I spilled my coffee on her book ;-)

the first week of my holidays will be filled with reading, visiting the BUGA (a garden show) and doing some stuff at home ...
and on Friday we'll leave for our trip to the Dutch ;-)
The weather will prolly not be the best, but who cares, as long as it won't rain as much as last year on the Wallenpop Festival in Hellevoetsluis on Saturday Aug 6 ...

12 hours of cool music again ;-))
One of the bands I'm looking forward to ... De Stokers

and if you live anywhere near ... hop over and have a look yourself ... and maybe we meet ;-))

52 Colours - #38 - Patriarch

2011-07-23T08:24:00.005+02:00

... PATRIARCH ... ??? ...
>> matriarchy rules ... !!! <<

... OMG ...
... bugger ...
... I got nothing to wear ...
... can't go nekkid, can I ?

;-)

and while I was at it, I played with the sky presets ... was fun ;-)

... and ... wearing a (tinted) cardboardbox made me think of this tune

Living In A Box - Living In A Box von jpdc11

... OMG ...
... bugger ...
real 80's stuff ... but the groove ain't that bad ...
actually, I couldn't sit still ...
... bugger ...

next week ... same place ... same time ... erm ... maybe ;-P

Luna expects ... bugger ... MELON

52 Colours - #37 - Lemon

2011-07-18T23:33:00.003+02:00

o.o ... Lemon ... nothing for me ;-P
so all I got is this snapshot ... actually taken on the day when Luna showed us the Lemon-patch ...
and this old crappy yellow pants, that I had put on for the 'dots & stripes' event at Sanct, is the closes to Lemon I own ... lol
so better have a look at my Über Cool DJs ... crisco hoochie IMDY on the left and my sweet metalhead ERIKA on the right ... me lubs them ;-))

and now for something completely different ;-)
this tune ... which is totally not my style of music . .. and which was shown to me (or rather to hubby) by my (not so lil) daughter ... made my pea-brain rotate ... lol
Marteria feat. Peter Fox ... 'Sekundenschlaf'

lyrics translated into English:

Microsleep

tick tock tick tock time is running out
you are in a hurry cos' the the clock makes you run
don't hold on, don't watch
when sand is trickling through your fingers
tick tock tick tock time is running out

you feel young but life has made you grow old
you realise it at every New Year's Eve
I'm sorry you belong to yesterday's youth
you can't see your birthday cake anymore cos' it's got so many candles on it
you wanna go out into nature cos' you are annoyed by the noise
now you live in a row house cos you are vill(a)-less
wild times are over, eyes are small, glasses big
it will last until it's over
but you aren't as old as you feel but as old as you are
when you're young you think everything is possible
20 is followed by 30, 30 by what troubles you
breathe deeply once and you forget the time
unaware one moment and everything is over
cos' now life passes pretty fast
you count the days till the next round number birthday
you diet and go to the gym
but time heals no wounds cos time went to the dogs

tick tock tick tock time is running out
you are in a hurry cos' the the clock makes you run
don't hold on, don't watch
when sand is trickling through your fingers
cos every river flows to the sea
let go, no reason to fight
everything glitters in the bright light
take along the wave until the wave breaks

wake up from your hibernation
10 years packed colourfully in a blink of an eye
successes at the wall in gilded frames
und suddenly a "Zivi"* shoves you in a wheelchair through the park
when the time comes. your skin shrivels
your body gets laced with little brown spots
don't worry even if you run planelessly through the garden
(even if) you see ghosts and call your daughter Petra Lara suddenly
enjoy your life, dance happily into your grave
look around in Berlin every old bird wears a tramp stamp
I know you have still so much in mind to do
but slowly you start hearing this ticking in your ear

tick tock tick tock time is running out
you are in a hurry cos' the the clock makes you run
don't hold on, don't watch
when sand is trickling through your fingers
cos every river flow to the sea
let go, no reason to fight
everything glitters in the bright light
take along the wave until the wave breaks

back to colours again ... next week won't be easy either ...
Patriarch !!! ... Luna says it's a colour ... well then ;-)

Na, Schnecke !!!

2011-07-16T20:43:00.004+02:00

Today I was riding my bike back from the supermarket ...
enjoying Toxic tunes from my shuffle ...
wind blowing thru my hair ... and a heavy bag on my back ...
(you get the picture?) ...
when suddenly I heard someone shouting

... Na, Schnecke !! ...

it came from a young guy leaning far out of the window of a car that was passing me from behind ...
he was waving at me ... smiling ... and ... whoooosh ... gone
I was so surpised that I just smiled back ...
and then wondered:
Did he say 'Na, Schnecke !!' like 'Hey , crumpet' ... or 'Hey, babe' ?
or was he just making fun of my 'snail pace' ?
Prolly the latter ... *grins*
but hey ... I couldn't be mad about someone with such a cute smile ;-P

Answer with Pix Challenge ... or something like that ...

52 Colours - #36 - Celadon

2011-07-12T17:39:00.006+02:00

Celadon ... what a beautiful soft relaxing colour ......

When I saw my smexy friend Cats Kornfeld as a mermaid ... erm ... mercat ... in her post last week I remembered the mermaid outfit I once had created for the Deep Sea Event at Sanctuary Rock ... and how good it feels to float around ...
the colours of the tail matched Celadon at least in some spots ... and I grabbed the chance to happily swim and chat with Cats for a bit ... and later relax on those cool rocks that she got on her beautiful little island ...

I usually either spend my time hosting at Sanct, which is rather hectic ... or alone designing nonsense on my land (tho that became quite rare) ... but I guess I should do something like this more often for a change ... and can I do it in RL too, please? ... ;-)

So here are some stills and a lil clip with impressions from a very nice evening ...
ty Cats ... *hugs*

btw ... you find details to Cats' gorgeous Celadon look and a link to 'Amanda Sea - mermaid heaven' on Cats' Celadon post

Next week is supposed to be Lemon ... says Luna ;-)

and with a lil luck I'll catch up with pink or/and ruby before my vacation in 2 weeks ;-)

52 Colours - #35 - Electric Blue

2011-07-02T11:35:00.007+02:00

Feels like I'm closer and closer to leaving the virtual world ...
had no DJ today ... no tips ... running out of Linden for my land again ...
the signs can hardly be bigger that RL wants to be #1 ...
and guess what ... that's ok ...
at least Onion and Dawide kept talking up ... ty guys ;-))

and Luna's colour challenge for this week? ... ELECTRIC BLUE? ...
well ... all I can say is ... that trying to catch a lightning messed up my hair and got me the Electric Blue(s)

Next weeks colour will be CELADON ...
sounds nice ... looks nice ... and I got NO idea for it ;-)

I wanna do music ... loud and fast and real ....
I'm getting there, somehow ;-)))))

52 Colours - #34 - Mauve

2011-06-26T00:31:00.004+02:00

I wanted to do a quick shot for this weeks colour that Luna gave us ... MAUVE ...
cause my mind was totally blank on that one ...
QUICK !!! shot ... took me AGES !!! ...
cause I tried SHADOWS on the firestorm viewer I had just installed yesterday ...
apart from that viewer 2 look that I dislike so much, it works quite fine and fast for me and my lil cute netbook ;-)
But after enabling high graphics + shaddows and such ... it was just like ...
lil move ... waiting ... waiting ... lil move ... waiting ... risking a snapshot ... waiting ... waiting ... darn ... eyes closed ... next try ... waiting ... waiting ... waiting ... etc.
guess I won't do that too often ;-) ...
But I like tonight's pic tho ...

and I like this Mauve poem I found ... enjoy ;-)

Mauve Desert Rose
by Zahhar

here sprouted most unusually
from traveling seed
amid faint shade
of standing rock
alone

the scorching sun blazed brilliantly
lands stretching arid
to horizon
dismal expanse
my home

somewhere beneath the dry cracked ground
were my roots allayed
and so i grew
discovering
within

weary travelers one by one
in times preceding
have ventured past
and still unseen
my life

amid drear desolation vast
days long scalding dread
nights freezing pain
my heart took shape
growing

long seasons in succession passed
moon cycles swimming
resilience strong
through withered look
formed true

endlessly looking unto sky
forever reaching
comfort brooded
brewing slowly
soft peace

in great expanse of nothingness
my buds developed
and so they bloomed
for none to see
save god
http://allpoetry.com/poem/735393-Mauve_Desert_Rose-by-Zahhar

next week it's Electric Blue which looks like Sky Blue to me ... lol ...
*sigh* ... hope we will get crazy colours like
Purple Pizzazz ... Razzmatazz ... Wisteria ... Outer Space ... Fuzzy Wuzzy Brown ... inch worm ...
one day ;-)

52 Colours - Catching up - #29-31-32-33

2011-06-19T19:13:00.005+02:00

erm ... I'm a few numbers behind the rest of you folks ... I know
so I do a cheating quick catching up post ...
with 2 colours still missing ... #28 - PINK and #30 - Ruby get an extra post each, cause friends are involved and I don't want to hide them under a heap of other colours ...
well ... actually those posts will require a lot of work to be done yet anyway ... shame on me !!
So today it will be ...
#29 NEON CARROT ... #31 DENIM ... #32 JADE ... #33 MAHOGANY

and it's not said that it has to be all fashion, right ?
so I present you my very NEON CARROT light ... actually I like it so much ... I'd love to have it in RL ... lol
my DENIM jeans from Sanctuary Rock ... it was part of an outfit that staff got as a present at the club ... and I still love wearing it now and then ... altho my days at the club might be counted ...
my skin turned wooden (MAHOGANY at least) cause that's how I feel lately when I'm in SL ...
and then JADE in my eyes and the JADE pic from my 365 challenge pics (day 279), which I had made for my jaded friend ... so this beautiful colour connects me to a sad and helpless feeling, when I just don't know how to change his mind ... I so wish I could ...

and sometimes I'm jaded too ... like on that weekend when I couldn't go to Lille to see Toxic Waste ...
but so what ... I can simply hit anyone with another of my fav songs from their gig in Germany ... lol
Enjoy 'Kamikazer'

and next time Luna wants us to do MAUVE ... darn ... total blank in my head ;-P

Fab 50 Show Case !!!!

2011-06-16T01:40:00.009+02:00

Darn that I live in Europe and RL keeps me from staying up late ...
cause tomorrow, June 16, starting at 4pm SLT ... there will be the
Fab 50 Show Case ....
where top items of the Fab 50 weekends will be presented in a show with models, dancers and magic ;-)

and I got the chance to choose to beautiful models to wear 2 LoonAtic Wear outfits ;-)))
In the pic you see the wonderful Canada Starbrook ... who gave my Angvil outfit with her accessories such an amazing extra touch ;-))

click pic to enlarge ;-)

And the lovely Monica Querrien will model my Peace-Army outfit ;-))
During the show case, every outfit presented will be available for 50L$ only ...
So grab the taxi and enjoy the show which will take place in a wonderfully prepared theatre ...

KizARMA -CAPA -Starstruck
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Meadow%20Blossom/79/73/701
You wouldn't want to miss a show that features entertaining dancers, free drinks, and waitresses to bring you cakes whilst seated.

Unfortunately I cannot make it to the event myself, cause I need more than 3 hours of sleep on thursday night, as I will be in my 1st 5km-run-event of this year ... wish me breath and luck ... *grins*

and if you watch the show case ... could you take a pic or two for me ... please?

ps ... no ... I haven't forgotten all the 52 colour posts I still have to catch up with ;-P

Happy Weekends ;-)))

2011-05-30T22:55:00.011+02:00

Darn ... haven't blogged for a while now ... missed some colours for the Challenge already and I will be late for the #30 Ruby with Rudh ... but I will catch up eventually ... especially as I had some very cool help from very nice persons for my preperations for #28 Pink ... so stay tuned ;-)

But for now RL has claimed to be the FIRST LIFE ...
and besides a lot of extra hours at work ... the two last weekends were just AWESOME ...
on May 21 I had my first gig with the band that I'm in since March ... and it was a whole lot of fun ... and the next gig will be on wednesday ... ;-))))))))))
I might do a post about that in a bit too

But today I just wanna post about my last weekend ...
the day when I finally met my fav french punk rock band
TOXIC WASTE ;-))))))))
I wrote about them in Febury 2009 when I longed to see them live.
And now they came to Germany ... played in Aachen in a super cool club called Hauptquartier.
(If you ever visit Aachen ... check out the Hauptquartier ... cool music ... and very very nice owner/staff ... TY Dieter for the great evening)

Funny enough I had a Punk event that morning at Sanctuary Rock ... and of course I wore my Toxic Waste shirt ;-)

And in the evening I got me 2 REAL Toxic Waste shirts ...
Toxic Waste played a really cool set ... just a bit too short ...
I could have listened to them all night long, but Loran said it's too 'physical' ... *grins*

and the best is ... they played one of my fav songs for ME !!! ... Bricolage Circus
check out at 0:10 when Brewst says 'for you' and Loran 'for LoonAtic'
I could have kissed them ;-)

So ... after that cool concert and quite some beer and lots of laughing and trying to explain stuff in english 'very slowly' ... *sniggers* ... I sure want to see them again ... hopefully in October ...
(and I so wish I could see them on June 10 in Lille together with Tyson Boogie and Bam!! ...
why is it so expensive to travel those 450km !!??!!)

Days like that make me forget any other life ... lol

TOXIC WASTE ... you guys ROCK !!!

Up and Down and Up and ...

2011-05-09T00:12:00.009+02:00

yeah ... I know ... that's life ...
I'm just trying to leave a totally wasted weekend behind ...
my freshly planted flowers on the terrace had died due to night frost ;-( ...
I got sick during my Saturday morning shift ... spent most of the weekend in bed feeling terrible ...
hehe .. I even went to Hell's grand store opening (make sure to check out that shop Hell & Co on Wheels ... a paradise for bikers and lovers of awesome vehicles) while I was in bed ...
tho it took me ages to rez everything as I was on a wireless netbook ...
I even missed the crimescene ... must have been baco, as he wasn't there (said Rudh) ... ;-)

today was quite a down when I closed the doors of my shop LoonAtic Wear at Sanctuary Rock ...
it's not as if I sold much ... it's because I like the club and I'm always proud to have a shop there ... but I'll be back in a while, I'm pretty sure ...
I still have my hostie tag to wear there every weekend ... ;-)))

And I still have my mainstore tho ...
and today I added something new there ... a try ...
I'm part of the Fab 50 Weekends now !!!
So every weekend from Friday 7am - Sunday 11pm I will set up a discounted item from my store down to 50L$ !! ... starting next Friday ... check it out ;-)

Hehe ... there was a funny Italian guy running into my pic ...
I must admit I looked a bit like a 'Bordsteinschwalbe' offering myself for 50L$ ... didn't I ... ;-)
kk ... not the right outfit for that, but my fav stoner shirt ...

but I have enough ups to get me back into good mood ...
My first 2 gigs with my new band within a month ...
I will do a 5km run in June (and hope to survive ... lol) ...
I prolly will see my fav french punkrock band Toxic Waste at the end of May ;-)

and there is the 52-colours-challenge I love to do and follow every week ;-))
talking of the 52WOCC ... I might need your help for the next week (and at other times too) ...
it's PINK this time ... really TOUGH colour for me ...
and I'd like to make a lil clip again, if I can manage to get some spare time ...
if you'd like to be a part of it, you can join my inworld movie group LoonAtic Loonies here
or send me an IM and I'll get you on the casting couch ... *grins*

Now ... my mood is almost back to normal ... if I can get rid of my belly- and headache problem ... I can go back to work tomorrow ... lol
cya ... *hugs*

52 Colours - #27 - Olive

2011-05-07T21:33:00.007+02:00

Olive ... a colour I love and a food I deeply dislike ... lol
I got some RL clothing in Olive and for me it's a bit connected to army stuff
Now I'm a total pacifist, but I'm ready to fight for LOVE ;-)

(oh sh.... the pic is too big ... but I don't feel like messing with it again ... click to enlarge)
For next week Luna choose kinda torture for me ... PINK

o.o ... tough times ahead !!!

A big crisco hug to Imdy ... have a great birthday and tons of fun ;-))

Hell's Heaven

2011-05-06T01:35:00.002+02:00

Rudh's heaven is Hell ... ;-)
... and Hell's heaven is on wheels ...
... HELL & CO ON WHEELS ... actually ...
and of course Rudh is Hell's heaven too ... I guess ;-)

kk ... coming to a point ...
Hell builds really cool stuff ... that is bikes and cars ... together with his friend baco ...
as you can see in this mini clip that I did a lil while ago

and soon you can grab that stuff ... cause

On Saturday 7th May, 2011, at 12pm SLT,
HELL & CO ON WHEELS
is officially opening the doors !!!

with an event where Hell will DJ
(very cool ... Hell once was my DJ of the month at the C.O.R.)
with special Limited Editions on offer, price reductions, freebies etc.

so make sure you stop buy and have fun

here's a Chauffer driven Limo Ride: Hell & Co On Wheels, RED EYE KINGDOM (39, 34, 4003)

52 colours - #26 - Tangerine

2011-04-30T07:43:00.007+02:00

So Luna wants to keep us in good health with lots of vitamins again ...
by challenging us this week with TANGERINE ...
Now ... as much as I like to eat tangerines (I call them Mandarinen) ...
it's so not my colour ...
I don't own any Tangerine coloured clothes in RL ...
and only my Sanctuary Rock shirt in SL ...
......
till now ... lol

The first thing that came to my mind was the old (founded in 1967) german Electro / Experimental Band 'Tangerine Dream' (and they still exist !!!)
So I listened to their songs on youtube, while designing my outfit ...
and I spent a whole evening dancing in my photosphere to their song 'Stratosfear' ...
surrounded by my Tangerine Galaxy ;-)

usually not my kind of music ... but it can be so relaxing sometimes ... and butt-moving as well
Check them out on youtube or on deezer

and as I cut and cropped the song real badly ... here the full length version

Next week ... up for OLIVE
(like Asparagus a colour I love, but a food I definately don't ... lol)

Yummy eggs ... erm ... Happy Easter ;-)

2011-04-24T00:26:00.003+02:00

EasterSunday ... the day of the return of chocolate to ... ME !!!!!!! ;-)
yummy yummy ... can hardly wait after weeks without that sweet delicious soft seducing taste ......... ;-)

52 Colours - #25 - Periwinkle

2011-04-23T08:19:00.004+02:00

After creating the outfit for this weeks colour (Luna had chosen Periwinkle and not blue-ish eggplant or gorgonzola),
RLme and SLme went looking for a nice location for the photoshooting ... and we found a kind of magical place ....
We only had to find out what kind of magic exactly ...

oups ... looks like outfit swapping magic ...

but hey ... as much as I'd love to wear those gowns and stuff ...
I better stick to my own style ... formal wear just doesn't look good when stretched too much ;-)

and next week? ... Tangerine ... mmmmhhhh yummy ...
just not our colour at all ... lol

My Digits ? ... 00000000000 ...

2011-04-17T22:50:00.008+02:00

Today was one of those days ...
one of those weekends actually ...
that are better not remembered ...
tho one thing I was looking forward too was UC's 4 anniversary as DJ at Sanct ...
too bad that he's usually on when I'm still sleeping and so I only can grab the last minutes of his shift before my Sat 10pm event (my sunday morning) ...
But those minutes are always fun ... cool tunes and a hell of a singing DJ ...

and I love when he says 'Looooooonatic Wear' ... ;-)
But today it only was a hell of a f... L.. (nope, I won't say those 4-letter words)
I couldn't even get my ballons out of my invent, could hardly move nor cam around ... sh...

and if Imdy hadn't come to my rescue, I'd had the second party without DJ ...
later I got those damn messages for rental pay again, that reminded me that I might have to shut down my store again within the next weeks ...
but hey ... looking at all those fashion blogs lately I think it doesn't belong anywhere on the grid anyway ...
Somehow I felt like ZERO all weekend ...
I saw this kind of challenge over the last days on some blogs
'What's your digits' by Strawberry Sing
and I thought ... mine are 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ..........
then I had to check that ... almost expecting 10001110101
but it looked like this ...

anyway ... before I go to bed now and hopefully wake up in a better mood ...
A very Happy 4th DJ aniversary, UC ...
with a big hug and looking forward to many more years of UC ROCK ;-*
and a crisco ty for Imdy ... me lubs ya

52 Colours - #24 - Eggplant

2011-04-16T08:00:00.003+02:00

Luna Jubilee: yeah I hope you have your 'frigs open again ... cuz ...w ell you'll see!!

so all I wanted to do was check if there's EGGPLANT in our fridge ... seriously !!!!!
And I can tell you there is no plant with or without eggs, no eggs anyway and definately no eggplant (or as we call it .. Aubergine) in here ...

just yummy tasty rasberry cream cake ;-))))))))

Next week it's gonna be ... erm ... got no idea how Luna calls it ;-) ... but it looks like a kind of light blue, maybe it's blueberry, gorgonzola or old red cabbage ;-P
soon we'll see, I'm pretty sure ;-)

In Memoriam

2011-04-14T09:28:00.003+02:00

One year gone ...
but forever in my ears, my mind, my heart and my soul

Happy B-Day, Erika ;-)

2011-04-12T00:03:00.004+02:00

Guess it's better late (hey, a few minutes only) than never ;-P
so jump the cake (before I eat it) and have fun

Be hugged and hugged and hugged and hugged and ... .. .

52 colours - #23 - Asparagus

2011-04-10T22:31:00.007+02:00

Today's post is not funny ...it's serious.
Deadly serious actually ... well ... maybe ...
at least it could be for my new Asparagi (erm ... I think that's the plural of Asparagus) ...
I love Asparagus ... the colour and the green potted plant ..
(but not the veggie, that's rather ... erm ... yurgh)
So when I saw Luna's colour for this week, I remembered that I once had an Asparagus (potted) that I loved ...
but unfortunately ... as much as I love green plants ...
I got no green thumb !!!
So anything else but my coffeeplant, my aloe and my yucca (and weird enough, my benjamini) hardly has a chance to survive ...
Nevertheless ... last monday I got me 2 asparagi from our local nursery (funny word).
During the week I wanted to create a matching outfit ...
but somehow it all went wrong, especially due to that darn problems with textures that have transparent parts ...
So I ended up hiding behind my asparagi that I managed to bring into SL (potted them into my coffee mugs and will add them to my desk plant collection ;-P ) ...
and to distract a bit from the outfit failure I added this tasty lollipop that Anarchist gave me today during my shift at Sanct ;-) ... be hugged and kissed for that, Anarchist ;-*

oh ... and here are my RL Asparagi right after I bought them ... they still look great ...
But to keep them that way I might need your help ...
maybe you could give me a shout now and then ...
something like 'Remember your Asparagi, give it some water !!! '

For next week Luna wants us to look into the fridge ...
but I swear I don't have any Eggplant in there ... it's yurgh too ... lol

52 Colours - #22 - Banana Mania

2011-04-02T08:20:00.009+02:00

Imagine King Kong's surprise, when all he wanted was eating a tasty banana ;-)
I love bananas, he loves bananas ... let's hope he loves me too ;-)

I had a whole lot of fun with Luna's choice for this week: BANANA MANIA
tho actually more with the colour's name than with the colour itself.
hehe ... and I didn't dare posting what I first had in mind ;-P

I'm a tiny bit proud of my outfit this time ;-)
I might even use it as a start for a new collection for my shop LoonAtic Wear ...
maybe something like 'fashionable food' ... *grins*
it's been quite a while ... quite a long time, to be honest, since I released new stuff for my store ...
must be this Colour Challenge that keeps me far too busy ... lol

Anyway ... ASPARAGUS for next week ...
what a beautiful colour, IM already looking forward to that one ;-)

52 Colours - #20 & #21- SkyBlue & White

2011-03-27T19:09:00.005+02:00

Ty Murphy ...
for letting Luna chose SkyBlue when I had a clip planned in bluebox technique ...
finding and doing a work-around cost me many many hours ...
and turned quite some of my hair into grey ...
but what made me mad most was ... this clip was meant to be for Rudh's birthday as well ...
and I was quite sad that I could only give her a mini version on her special day ...
Anyway ... Happy Birthday, Rudh ... again ;-) ...
and here it is ... my entry for SKY BLUE (clip and static)

darn ... Rudh got a tough way of cutting flowers ;-P

and let's hope that the next co-operation (planned for week 30) will run more smoothly ;-P

******************************************************************************

hopping on to colour # 21 ... where Luna gave us WHITE ...

and as I plan to do less clips for a while ... this was easier ...
even tho it didn't come out quite the way I had imagined it (as usual) ... lol

The sad bride ... lost in the sunken garden of tears ... finally met her true love ...

******************************************************************************
hehe ... did'nt think that SKY BLUE and WHITE would make such a strong contrast ;-)

and next week? ... ready for BANANA MANIA

/me grins and won't tell what image that just brought to my inner eye ...
must be Imdy's ebil influence ... ;-P

Spring is here

2011-03-23T21:53:00.011+01:00

All week the weather has been quite warm and very sunny ...
the sky was blue all day long ...
Sky Blue actually ... the colour of the post I still haven't done ...
and what did I do when I came home from work? ...
Did I go outside, enjoy the sun, jogging, gardenwork, relaxing on the terrace ???
Nope ... I sit at my pc, fight with flash and push poor Rudh around by copy and paste ;-)
(and late at night I pull some four strings ... lol) ...
But today I couldn't resist ... I grabbed my cam and and caught some early spring shots in our garden ...
nature getting ready to jump out ;-)

and then back to the cutting room ... so that I'll be at least able to do a double colour post this weekend ...

And the day got a lot better ...
In the evening I recieved a parcel ...
from my french friend ...
a poster with a comic from Boulet ...
limited edition 'I have a Dream' #15/40

how cool is that ;-))))) ... ÜBER COOL ;-))))))
it will get a frame and a special place ... and I already sent a huge virtual hug ;-)

darn ... the clock is speeding forward to midnight again ...

52 Colours - #19 - Umber

2011-03-12T07:50:00.004+01:00

kk ... this time a really quick one ... cause ...
UM ... UMBER ... what can I say ... .. .
I love my garden loo ... you prolly already noticed ;-P ...
... so I thought it's fine for ... UM ... UMBER ...
and this outfit from Bare Rose (I think it's called Cassis) ...
I never had a chance to wear it ... and prolly won't wear it again ... tho I love the stuff from Bare Rose ...
well ... it's the brown version ... close enough to ... UM ... UMBER ...

and now ... if you excuse me ... phew ... I need some fresh air, I guess ;-P

Next week to promises to be exciting again ...
not only is it SKY BLUE that Luna chose ...
(tho that causes a damn problem for me that I gotta solve SOMEHOW)
It's week 20 !!!!! ... that means ... TIME for another CRAZY co-operation ;-)
Stay Tuned ... *hugs*

52 Colours - #18 - Ecru

2011-03-05T17:17:00.005+01:00

Do you know ECRU ?
that's what's left when you had spilled some tasty coffee on your white shirt instead of drinking it ...
and used a weak detergent ... ;-(
(erm ... or did I just forget to put it into the laundry?)
Anyway ... best you can do is ...
Dye the whole thing in bloody darn ECRU !!!! .... (oups ... sorry)

ok ... maybe just dye it BLACK ... then the ECRU coffee stain will be gone ... DEFINATELY

mmmhhh ... I wonder if UMBER (that's Luna's colour for next week ... *sigh*) would work for that ...

2011-03-04T22:25:00.004+01:00

52 Colours - #17 - Electric Lime

2011-03-03T13:33:00.005+01:00

I know ... I'm late with this week's colour ...
but despite Hollywood's efforts to stop me
... with bacteriological weapons (flu), sabotage (software crash), psychologic means (almost nervous breakdown) ...
here it is ... the shocking truth about this year's Academy Awards Ceremony ...
(don't believe the fake that was on TV)

Special Thanx to Rudh for being so patient and staying awake while I was pushing wrong buttons ...
and to Zak for jumping in, beating Johnny Depp and bearing my heavy breathing ... *grins* ...
One day I'll learn how to use technical stuff and voice properly ;-)

So Luna chose Electric Lime for this week ...
and sent us into the limelight ...
which is pretty electric, I guess

Next week it will be ... erm ... ecru ...

oh ... and just in case you haven't seen this year's best movie yet ... here it is ...

o.o ... and guess what ... a post edit ... cause I'm ... yep ... a pea brain
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ZAK ;-*

52 colours - #16 - Teal

2011-02-19T08:13:00.005+01:00

Have you ever tried to draw with a mouse ...
it squeaks, shites and bites ...
but no proper line in the end ...

Seriously ... drawing with the mouse is a PITA ...
but finally ... after many years of dispair ...
I got me a tablet ... small and cheap ...
but I LOVE ... it ;-)

So I simply had to scribble this week's outfit for Luna's 52 coulours challenge ...

and I was so happy ... I did 99 TEAL somersaults in a row ...

damn ... I'm dizzy in the head now ...

but looking forward to next week's colour : LIME
watch out ... it'll be movie time again ;-)

Post Edit: ... it's ELECTRIC LIME next week ...
now me pea-brain heads off to find a lime to plug into a socket ;-P

Happy Birthday, Schatz

2011-02-15T00:45:00.006+01:00

... Happy Birthday to the best hubby I've ever had ...
actually the only one I ever had ...
but I wouldn't want another ;-*

kk ... I know it's kinda late here ... but there are places in the universe, where the day isn't gone yet ;-P

52 colours - #15 - Red

2011-02-12T23:30:00.007+01:00

I swear ... I only wanted to bring some LOVE into a cold world ;-P

and more swearing ... No avi was hurt in the course of this shooting ... honestly
they all live happily ever after ... I hope ;-P

A huge 'THANK YOU' to
Cats Kornfeld, Destiny Sandalwood, PrincessPayton and Mikeal Markova
for following my call and being patient victims ;-)))
you ROCK !!!!!!!!

oh ... and I didn't think it would turn out that violent ... lol ...
I'm a peace-loving non smoker ... seriously

For next week Luna handed us a less bloody colour ... TEAL ... whatever ... *grins*

note to myself ... 'find a less laggy place with no transparent cam catching prims' !!!!

Post Edit: (damn it ... I need to do a lot of post edits lately ... me pea brain)
Had I really forgotten to include this clip ... or did it get lost ... erm .. somehow ... got no idea ... but here it is ...

Erm... could I get some ... erm ... HELP ?

2011-02-09T00:40:00.006+01:00

erm ... I need some victims ... oh ... I mean ... erm ... help ...
for one of my nonsense pics ...
come as you are ... just dont't wear your most posh outfit ...
as it could get a bit dusty ... out there on the street ...
sure you can bring some friends too ...
soft drinks, coffee, beer, medical aid will be provided ;-P

Staten Island ... oh ... you can use this taxi :
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Staten%20Island/246/245/32
or give me a shout inworld ...
tomorrow/ today ... erm ... wednesday Feb 9 ... something around noon (12pm SLT)
won't take too long, I guess ;-P
kk ... I know that's a shitty day and time ... but no other chances for me this week ...

o.o ... maybe I better head off to bed now ... cya

52 colours - #14 - Black

2011-02-06T00:25:00.010+01:00

BLACK ... the toughest colour of them all?
Not sure if it is a colour at all ...
or just the absence of colour ...
the absence of light that enables colour?

First I thought I'd try it like my friend Walter ...
but his blackness became a kind of art ...
and is way too delicate and elaborate to be copied ;-P

Next I thought I'd just use one of my 365 daily pics ...
120-365 ... it's kinda BLACK, isn't it?
Funny thing is ... photobucket censored some of my daily pics ... restored most of them ..
but this one ... the only one with real nudity ... never caused any problem ...
prolly because they didn't find out how to turn on the light ... *grins*

erm ... yep ... there really is a pic above this sentence ... *grins*
Anyway ... I decided it was not my choice for Luna's colour challenge either ...

Nope ... I went a far more complicated way ... thought I'd do a quick movie ...
I chose one of my fav black outfits ... still unreleased cause it's unfinished yet ... but I love to wear it for the 'Bad in Black' events ...
and then the problems started ...
SL being a pita with rezzing, killing textures, crashing and whatever could go wrong went wrong ;-P
MovieMaker didn't behave much better, tho I was glad to find out how to get and make custom effects and transitions ...
The BlueBox thing and the strobo effect are fun ...
Composing and rendering the different parts, recomposing and rendering them again ...took AGES !!!
But I just love to mess with clips and things and always discover something new ;-)

For the music I chose a song by the dutch band Krach ...
check out their site ... it includes a real cool video ;-P
http://derkrach.nl/

those who know me or followed this blog, know that I tend rather to the Rock and Metal side ...
But I saw Krach at an open air during my last summer holidays ...
The most rainy open air I've ever been to ...
But when Krach played, their rocking, crunchy, cool electro tunes electrified me and put me into a kinda trance that made me forget the rain ...
I just danced the whole set thru ...
So ... whenever you should get the chance to see them ... grab it ... or get their album which is freshly released ;-P

So here it is ... my BLACK dance floor strip ;-P
Enjoy

and a special TY to my french LoonAtic who was willing to wiggle his ass when I needed a dancer ;-*

Next time ... RED

damn ... I already got another complicated idea ... I better start preperations right now ;-P

52 colours - #12 - Emerald

2011-01-29T08:16:00.007+01:00

I tought I'd take it easy on EMERALD ...
a quick shot wearing something emerald ...
looked easy ...

but then ... during a lunch break ... I decided to create a new outfit ...
I scribbled the idea on bit op paper ... messed around in gimp, avimator and tatara the next days ... and finally made it into SL to do the building stuff ...
fine ... it only cost me a bit of sleep since I never went to bed before 1am ... or even later ...
but I kinda liked the result ...

a formal dress with a freshly designed fishy flowers pattern ;-P ... a glowing emeral bowl ... a pose that changed hands all the time ... damn it ... can't my avi stop breathing and moving for a sec ... it's supposed to be a still pose ... lol
and finally ... a necklace with my newest sculptie ...
after I failed to find the scenery I had imagined and not having enough time to create my own ...
I headed to Sanct, cause there's a kind of graveyard beside my store ... and some old trees ...
that would do

then a friendly guy IMed me, asking if I was a kind of witch and if I had made the thing in the tree come out of my bowl ... ????!!!!???
Took me a while to find these 'things' in the tree ... and took me even longer to catch these strange things ...
just to find out ... OMG ... those are couple poseballs ... my poseballs ... accidently linked to my necklace ...!!!

I decided to remove them the other day, cause it was late already ...
When I logged back in next time, I was kinda caught into a shift and had already forgotten about them, when Mir, our LadyBoss, started to wonder whose balls ... erm ... poseballs were hopping around above the Sanct dancfloor.
O.O ... these buggers were fast ... lol
Mayala Loon: they have been too hot to catch ...lol ... too hot to handle ;-P
Mirari Cheney: lmao they were too fast to catch and i probably would have returned or deleted half the club trying
anyway after an event that was a bit stressy, but fun (tho for some reason I lately end up with rather less L$ on my account than before the events ... lol)
I took the (for me) rare chance to listen to Guen's cool tunes and tried to find out how to rock in a long dress ...
Hey ... it worked ... tho I hate when my legs poke thru the skirt ;-)

and next time ???
Looks like Luna wants us to do ... BLACK ... I wonder if I have any black in my invent at all ;-P

and before I forget ...
I want to hug 2 very special people, who are both going thru quite blue times ...
Be strong ... and never give up !!!
...☸ڿڰۣ--

Post edit .... of course EMERALD is #13 ... not #12 ... me is a pea brain ... lol

52 MadProps - #9 - Bundle Of Flowers

2011-01-25T00:22:00.005+01:00

To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache ...

I'm glad good ol' Shakespeare (I just love that guy) did all that pondering already ...
so my virtual me can pic up her flowers again and await Sookie's next mad prop ;-)

52 colours - #12 - Taupe

2011-01-22T07:54:00.002+01:00

TAUPE ... huh ... erm ...
I guess I need a 'session' to get an idea for TAUPE ............

a good 'session' can work wonders ... *grins*

Anyway ... I can't have this tasty ice cream just melt away ...

52 Colours - #11 - Indigo

2011-01-15T08:25:00.004+01:00

INDIGO ... more a feeling than a colour for me
those wonderful twilight moments ...
between night and day ... sleep and wake
when dreams are intense ... sweet ... disturbing ...
so real ... so hazy ... and too soon forgotten

click pic to enlarge and read the poem

back to pics instead of the video I made for Sienna ;-)
but for a change with a nano-StyleSheet *grins*

While I was dreaming my indigo dreams
I was wrapped in nothing but a wonderful
Tattoo : CoLLisions 'OhneDich' for a better view on the tattoo click here
beautifully created by Guenevere DeCuir

The next colour Luna wants us to do is TAUPE ... omg ;-)

Ty for the rocking FUN

2011-01-13T00:34:00.005+01:00

Last Thursday was 3KS-Time ...
and as every year it was so much fun ...
and as usual I'm sad that it passed by so fast ...
It was a blast ... those 3 rehearsals and the minishow ...
a big thanx to Uzi, Erik and Daniel ... awsome guys and cool musicians ;-)))

and I'm glad I didn't have to play that Katy Perry Song ... lol

Wait ... you mean ... December is gone already ?!?

2011-01-10T22:45:00.003+01:00

52 Colours - #10 - Sienna

2011-01-09T16:22:00.006+01:00

For this week's 52 colour challenge - SIENNA

I proudly present
a freshly restored pearl of Wild West Movies
featuring the amazing
Rudhmellowen Laguna

in
The Ballad of Calamity Rudh & Loony May

not just playing in a theater near you ...
but right here ... right now

Enjoy

btw.... I'd like to recommend this movie for the next Academy Awards ...

This shooting with Rudh was so much fun (besides that she's quite a kickass killer) ...
Maybe the town ain't big enough for the two of us ...
but our blogs are ;-)
So watch out for more to come

But first it's time to think about next weeks colour ...
Luna handed us the envelope with INDIGO

52 MadProps - #6 - Coat Hanger

2011-01-05T12:40:00.005+01:00

Damn ... came home late at night and all I wanted was my bed ...
Maybe I should have got out of my jacket before putting it on the coat hanger ...
Next time I just let it drop on the floor ...

and it's all Sookie's fault ;-P

52 colours - #9 - Silver & a Happy New Year

2011-01-01T19:00:00.005+01:00

SILVER gave me more problems than I thought ... kept me busy all afternoon ... lol
and because I really wanted to post it today, I dropped my plans to post edit the pics in gimp ...
you get them kinda just cropped and RAW ... lol
but what else is there to do an a New Years day ;-P

Hope you all slipped well into 2011
After 2010 had been a rather quiet year for me (with a few exceptions) ...
I wonder if 2011 will bring some more excitement ;-))
Wishing you all the best for this year ;-)

here comes SILVER for Luna's challenge ...

oups ... was that my fault?

next week is the 10th week of the challenge ... and a special co-operation planned for that ... which I'm really looking forward to ... even tho SIENNA will be another tough one ...

I can't get enough ...

2010-12-30T16:42:00.012+01:00

... reasons to make some pics ... *grins*

When I was zapping through the links in 'Luna's 52 colours challenge' ...
I came across Sookie Slafford's blog and her ...
MadProps Challenge ...
52 weeks again ;-)))
The challenge is about channeling your creativity and using a different prop every week in order to create a picture.

kk ... this challenge already started a bit earlier...
it's already at week 5 ... and the props up to now have been ...

1. umbrella ...

2. paintbrush ...

3. television ...

4. giftbox ...

5. mirror

I found 4 pics I've used before with these items ...
but I don't even own a tv ... lol
so I bought a nice ol telly for 0L$ on the marketplace ...

and made a quick 5 MadProps Pic

'I just finished painting an umbrella-painting and wonder if I should watch some nonsense on tv ... lol...
unfortunately the giftboxes are all empty now, but they had awesome' content before ... and still make a nice deco ;-)
Now I look forward to the next 47 props I'll have to find, create or buy.

I missed November ...

2010-12-27T23:15:00.004+01:00

... well ... actually I missed my November Slideshow ...
but it's hardly ever too late, isn't it?
So here it is, a fine selection of my November snapshots ;-)
And as I didn't remember all the names (spank me) and I didn't want to look like a fool (even tho I'm a LoonAtic) ... I just dropped the titles ...
summerized you'll see smexy and crazy SR-staff and patrons ... strange things that happened ... awesome outfits ... murder (poisoned chocolate and simple shooting) ... the ebil bunch ... Walter in pink boots (spank me again ... *grins*) ... my cool DJs ... and the hottest pic I've ever made of Guen ;-)
Enjoy

Did you see SDD vanishing in one of the pix? ...
Unfortunately he vanished from my Friday-midnight shift too ... due to RL, if I understood him right ...
But the good thing ... actually the UBER AWESOME thing is ...
I got my Hoochie back as reg DJ ;-)))
Oh ... and I found out on xmas that it's not just Imdy ... aka Richard Simmons ... aka Dr. Phil .... no ... It's god who is my DJ now ... *grins*
So I grabbed the pure ebil femal weekend power out of the slideshow ...

and will put it into my profil pics right after finishing this post ...

cause Erika and Imdy sooooooo ROCK !!!!

52 colours - #8 - Green

2010-12-25T12:34:00.006+01:00

o.o ... and actually my post #300 ... wow ... didn't think I'd make it that far when I started blogging ... lol

and now Luna made us do GREEN ...
a colour that can be very festive ... or stolen from the xmas-tree ..

but I want to make it a tribute to the Green man ...
the guy that made my life green ...
the band that can still make me sad and happy at the same time with their songs ...
wearing two outfits I made long ago ...
My girlfriend's girlfriend dress and the Vinnland-Flag top & skirt ...
and I tinted my loved Fender Precision into Type O colours while virtually rocking to Anesthesia ...

R.I.P. Peter and ROCK heaven & hell

... and boy ... I wish I could pose like that while playing my bass ... but I'm rather one of those shy and silent bass players (if any at all) ... lol

next week's gonna be sparkling SILVER ... guess I like that too ;-)

I wanna be an Angel ...

2010-12-24T02:36:00.003+01:00

... when I was a kid, the teachers at school always made me 'Mother Mary' in those darn Nativity Plays ...
prolly because my name is Maria and I already got long brown hair in those days ...
But all I wanted to be was one of those lazy Angels in the background, who could wear a beautiful dress, had those gorgous wings ... and most important ... didn't need to say anything ...
Now I thought I could make this dream come true in SL ...
made me a nice dress, grabbed my wings and even a halo ... and looked out for a Nativity Scene ...
What can I say ... guess it's easier to be the ebil Snow Queen next time ;-)

Wishing you a Merry Christmas, lots of presents and a good time with friends and family

*hugs* and *love*

Pre Xmas Fun

2010-12-19T21:54:00.006+01:00

OMG ... it snowed today ... I mean, it really SNOWED ...
Where I live we usually get maybe 2 or 3 cm of snow in 1 or 2 weeks a year ...
Today alone we got 15 cm ... and it had already snowed the days before ...
I saw Talis' view onto the Winter world today ...
So I thought I'd share my view out of my window with you (taken this afternoon) ...
I so love snow ;-)))

Funny how the snowflakes look in flashlight ... like 'full bright' activated ;-P
Too bad it started raining now ...
and forcast says my chances for a white Xmas are rather low ;-(

Talking of Xmas ... I got 2 presents today already ...
and ... spank me ... I could not resist opening them ...
Now isn't that cute ... Hellbone turned me into Mini-Rudolph ...
and Rudh gave me a matching reindeer-friend ;-)))
Ty Hell and Rudh ... be hugged ;-*

There was just that lil problem of paying the rentbox for my mainstore now ... I couldn't reach it anymore ;-P

erm ... and damn ... looks like I gotta do some xmas greetings too ... soon ... not even a week left ;-P

Don't Eat the Yellow Snow ...

2010-12-18T23:31:00.003+01:00

When I was perving through a lot of those blogs that are in the 52-colours challenge ...
I stumbled over a nice pic in siXX's blog ... *grins*
And a song came to my mind again that is cruising there quite often these days when I look at all the snow outside ...
thought I'd share it with you ;-))

and damn ... Zappa was such an awesome musician ...

52 Colours - #7 - Cerise

2010-12-18T09:50:00.009+01:00

CERISE is french for cherry ...
I wonder why CERISE is kinda PINK ...
where I live cherries are RED ...
anyway ... lets have a pic with tasty cherries ... erm ... I mean ... CERISE ...

but honestly ... I like cherries as much as I like PINK ... erm ... sorry .. CERISE ...

and hey ... why am I that edgy ??? !!! ???

next week's gonna be GREEN ... now that's a colour I LOVE ... ;-))))))

Ty Luna ;-))

Watch Out ... Xmas will be hitting soon

2010-12-17T22:56:00.003+01:00

Arf ... I had forgotten to light the third candle here in my blog ...
Maybe because I'm still not in any holiday season whatever mood ...
maybe I hoped I'd get an extra week squeezed in before Xmas hits us ...

Advent, Advent ... ein Lichtlein brennt
Erst eins, dann zwei, dann drei, dann vier ...
und wenn das fünfte Lichtlein brennt ...
dann hast du Weihnachtern verpennt ...

Guess that won't happen to me ...
I'll never reach a fifth candle if I keep on forgetting the others ;-P

erm ... maybe I shouldn't say anthing ...

2010-12-15T01:01:00.008+01:00

... about the once again remodeled Sanctuary Rock ...
but when I come home after a very long day I'm sometimes a bit grumpy ...

Even tho I should better have gone to bed immediately ...
I decided to hop into SL,to have a look at the new SR and quickly set up my store ...

big double ARF ... (did I mention that I should have gone to bed?)
First ... I like the idea with the dancefloor on the isle ... I like that there are some nice corners and stuff to discover ... tho I couldn't see much due to a lag stronger than usually ...

But what Idon't like is my shop now ...
the old Mall was generously built ... I loved the details like the stairs and the railings ... and the big window-front was so cool ... and offered an easy view on the items that were displayed ...

and now ... altho the store has prolly the same size still and more 'Wallspace' to put items on ...
it's a pain to move the cam around inside ... it's harder to watch the items from the outside ... and it gives me the 'rabbit hutch feel'.

On the other hand ... there's a nice lil graveyard right next to my store ... maybe I'll bury my shop there sooner or later ... as I don't sell anything anyway ...

I better put some effort back into RL music ...
I'm in two projects for January ... lots of rehearsing to do ... and it promises to be a hell lot of fun ...I'm so exited about it ;-))))

kk ... but now I'm really off to bed ... to hug my pillow :-)

52 colours - #6 - Yellow

2010-12-12T01:42:00.006+01:00

... erm ... not goldenrod again ... huh?
... YELLOW this time ... right?
that's what Luna wants ;-))
kk ... let's make it quick and (almost) easy ;-P

I went to a professional photographer to get it right this time ...

erm ... maybe he wasn't THAT ... erm ... PRO ...

so I did it myself again ...
YELLOW as the sun I had in mind when I made this outfit ...

turn around please ... ty ...

but even the sun has to go down now and then ;-P

btw. ... I made the outfit white/tintable ...
means I can do next weeks challenge CERISE easily ... *grins*

52 colours - #5 - Sepia

2010-12-08T23:57:00.005+01:00

kk ... before I miss out on another colour in Luna's colour challenge ...
Here's my SEPIA Pic ...
and I swear there is some SEPIA in this über cool outfit from Bare Rose ...
I hardly ever go shopping, but when I do so, then there ...
Too bad that I hardly ever have a reason to put on this 'Lich Queen' outfit (spank me if I spelled it wrong)
and the old photo is definately in Sepia ... isn't it?

sooooooo ... next week it's gonna be YELLOW? ...
couldm't I just use goldenrod for that? ...
not? ... kkk ... then I'll give it a try ... somehow ...
