Reason #537 Why I love Dreamer

Dreamer sent me some Timtams & Milo from Oz last week & OMG! YUMGASM! Completely & tote! ::hearts:: Thank you, thank you, thank you Dreamer!!!

A little bit of this... and a little bit of that!

It got super duper out of control. Oh yes it did. I noticed this a.m. that my Blogline feeds had mysteriously jumped up to 196 feeds. :o Time to start widdling down the list.

You: down to 118 feeds HawksRock Gunawan: ooooo You: thats the best I can do HawksRock Gunawan: making progress... HawksRock Gunawan: u can do it!!! You: *sigh* ok 115 HawksRock Gunawan: lmao, is that REALLY the best you can do? You: yes lol HawksRock Gunawan: pffft... how about 110 ... You: ok ok ok looking

It's amazing how I feel so bonded to some of your blogs that I can't pull myself to let them go. Haha. I was able to create 4 groups to hold the feeds that made it thru my elimination process... Friends Blogs, Shopping Blogs, Amusing Blogs & SL News Blogs. I think for every new one that I add, I'll be deleting one. That should save me from ever hitting almost 200 feeds again. Wuwu!

DJ'n at Club Eden Escape
So yesterday I DJ'd for Mike99 Barbosa and the Eden Escape grand opening. I wasn't sure what to expect with the crowd. It was small at first & the girls seemed hard up waiting for "men" to arrive. It's okay though, when Hawk's arrived, I made sure to lift my leg & piss on him... "MINE". Haha! Over all pay was good, tips were good and dancing with Hawk's is always the best. The club could use a rebuild to make it POW! As the club is now... it's lacking a nice dance floor, you get light raped, and textures could be better thought out. The crowd that came in switched genres often which led to an interesting hodge podge of music sets. I was live for a 2 hour shift (1-3 p.m. SLT) which actually blew by faster than I thought. No holding your breath on me becoming a full-time DJ again. I hate schedules & have way too much on my SL plate right now to commit, but a gig here & there is nice.

Desperately Seeking an Oval Track
If you remmy Hawks threw down the gauntlet and put out a public challenge to all Dominus Shadow owners. We've gotten a lot of response. The first being from Chelle Moore & Raver Bellows. We screwed around & raced a bit the other night. We spent some time (Hawks & I) scouting a track for our official challenge but have yet to find one that isn't like molasses lag, script haters, fucked up shaped or oval. We need to have room for like 5-10 racers, I think... Kitty Lalonde, Gillian Waldman, Chelle Moore, Raver Bellows, Jane2 McMahon, Crap Mariner, Razzap Schnookums, and Hope Clary. Any suggestions on an oval, non uber lagged sim would be greatly appreciated so we can get this thing under way. :D

Poses by AV Puli Animations
Last night Dreamer sent us to a "Sweet Sit" and we followed the creator, Pulaski Fizz to his sim AV Puli Animations. The sim's description says: Romantic Couple animations store. Star Gazers, Roses, Washing, Neko AO, custom jobs, Animationen, Animaciones, Animatie. I have to say that the Neko animations were more feral & some freaked me out but some were cute, while others screamed "WTF!" Anyways, it was something we did and mayhaps worth a look if you're bored. :D I may even go back & explore the sim outside the actual store later.

Intel Ignites OCC

Keeping with Hawk's super suped up rawr rawr theme... You can build a custom Intel OCC (Orange County Choppers) chopper on the Intel Ignites sim. Finally a commercialized sim that is actually worth visiting. After the Playboy, Microsoft & Silverscreen disappointments, it was nice to actually enjoy myself at Intel. Hawks & the rest of the JIS left me all alone tonight *pouts* so thanks to Chelle for leading me to this gem.
Build an OCC Intel Bike Work Station

1. To get a Head's Up Display (HUD), at the HUD dispenser do the following:
(Note: Dispensers are located next to the office and at the front garage)
a. Right click the motorcycle diagram and buy a hud for $1L
b. You will be prompted to accept inventory - this is your HUD
c. In your inventory locate the folder named "OCC Intel Bike HUD" and right click to WEAR the "Bike Hud".

2. Follow the yellow floor arrows to a Build Station and left click blue bike lift to activate

3. Build your bike!
a. follow the build station prompts and assemble bike parts until complete

4. Step outside or near the Garage and click the build HUD to start the sidekick. On the HUD:
a. Fingerprint Scan: to rez your bike
b. Select Ride and sit on blue bike frame
c. You will be prompted to allow attach and animate permissions for the motorcycle - confirm
d. Select Start (green button) to start up the bike and ride

Enjoy your ride!

Your bike attaches to you, though it does seem to pop out of thin air, so you can adjust it while wearing it if it's not sitting just right. No worries if you screw up, just stand up & rez another. The only disappointments I had was A. I couldn't pink it (no mod) and B. I could jump or fly with it. I did manage to jump a couple times, purely accidental. I think over-all that it was a fun process to build my bike & then have the satisfaction of riding it in a lag free environment. It still was no where the fun of Castle Wars but was fun for about 30 minutes. :D

Secondfest (Jun 29th - Jul 1st)

Okay, I am excited!! When you take a powerhouse like Intel as a sponsor and combine 9 SIMS into one big island of entertainment all geared up for a 3 day music and arts festival = huge potential for a fun time. From the looks on the website the sponsors of the event are trying to recreate a 3 day festival just like the many RL festivals this summer. There will be places to camp, food vendors, ,portable johns, and even be a mud fight scheduled for the last day of the event. Pet Shop Boys will be headlining the event (which ironically Jelly and I were just discussing earlier today and which bring back quite a few memories from high school.)

The official posting reads:

Secondfest is a virtual three-day music festival inside Second Life realised by The Guardian and Intel, featuring live music from offline and online performers, theatre, ballet, cinema, animation and general chaos. It kicks off Friday 29 June at 6pm GMT (10am SLT) and rocks and rolls until midnight (GMT) Sunday night.

CHALLENGE ISSUED!! BRING IT!!

Calling all Dominus Shadow owners!! Jelly and I have taken up a new hobby of racing our two Shadow's at different race tracks around SL. If you think you have what it takes, or just have a craving to eat dust then either respond with a comment or IM either Jelly or myself, and we will school you in the finer principles of powersliding around the track as we pass you to take the flag. If you are looking to purchase one, then visit the Dominus Motor Company. They will set you back about 2400L's but they are worth every one of em the first time you jump the curb only to engage hover mode to fly it right back on and drop the tires just as you hit the track. If we can get 4 or 5 people together then we will set up a little circuit racing around the various tracks for fun. The challenge has been made, do you have what it takes??

101 Ways to Cook A Bunneh

Last night Hawks went to bed early and it was time to go bunneh posin' with the girls. Not only did we show up but we dressed the part. I think my conscious is starting to get to me, as I worried we were going to get in trouble for being bunneh imposters. On ward ho! You can read Rosie's complete post here: We May Be Bunnehs but We're Not Soft and Furry

We set that summer out in style...

This is our quiet time on Skype where we sit down & blog together. He does a post while I do a post. Normally I am much more prepared and know exactly what I want to be blogging, where as he is usually the apprehensive one. Call it Freaky Thursday but I am at a loss as to just one thing to blog & he is just going to town on his post. So hang in there, this is a summertime/water sport potpourri post. Happy 1st day of Summer!

Roller Skates & Water Balloons
How do you get that combo? Not sure but roller skating is fun, water balloons are fun. Why not throw the two together & have a blast!?! Now you can! These are a set of realistic rollerskates. They have been carefully designed to create a realistic beginner skating experience.
Included in the pack are the skates, a HUD for performing a few trick moves, and a water balloon you can throw at other skaters.
When the skates are attached use your normal movement controls. You will find movement is different. You will not stop immediately when you release your controls, but will continue to slide to a stop. If you hold down shift and and tap the left or right arrows you will do little spin turns. If already moving, tapping your forward/back arrow keys will slide you forward in a standing position, holding down the forward/back arrows will cause you to go into a full skate. If you press your back or forward arrows from a standing stop you will start skating immediately.
If you have a low speed collision with another avatar you will loose balance slightly, high speed collisions will cause you to fall over. Being hit by a water balloon will have a similar effect causing you to either loose balance or fall over depending on your speed. The hud you can attach has 6 fun tricks you can perform. simply click on the buttons on the hud to perform one of them.

Take a dip in your local swimming hole!
There are a lot of water ways in SL. All you have to do is look on the big map (or even the mini map for those of us that use it). One of the best things you can do is head down to Siggy's WaterWorks Island and pick up the Swimmer HUD. It's a summer time must have for everyone's inventory. The Swimmer is a HUD device that reacts with water in Second Life, the real sim water, and the rivers and oceans of Second Life. It adds buoyancy when you go in the water - and allows you to swim freely above and below the waters surface. The Swimmer can also swim in swimming pools using 'PrimSwim' water! Now you can swim in your home pool as easily as you can swim in sim water!
To go along with my nifty Swimmer, I added the new Pink with Polkadot Swimmies (water wings - seen in the pic above) from Sand Shack Surf Co.

Where to go...
If you are looking for some great places that are swim friendly as well as scenic and chalked full of stuffs... Definitely check out Dragon Moon Resort. Everybody is welcome! ONE rule only: Tolerate and respect each other! COEXIST! (Coexisting with griefers is not mandatory). This sim was actually built by an old friend of mine from the Wandie days, Demian Caldera. In fact, most of the U2 in SL concerts take place on Dragon Moon. Demian is a very very active participant in the U2 in SL projects. Anywho, back to the fun water stuff... You can swim among a big purple dragon, tube along skirting the sim with your lover, wind sail, play in the waves along the beach, catch some rays on the beach towels or just play drums. This is also a great spot for scuba diving with all the treasures tucked nicely below the surface of the calm waters.
Another awesome place with low lag & great beach is Parrot Island. A lush tropical island sim with public jetskis, beautiful waterfall with couples poses (not the best couple poses, but there are some) and perfect photo opportunity areas. Most of the area of this sim is dedicated to water than it is to land which makes this by far the most perfect spot for swimming & most of all jet skiing. Traffic is pretty low on Parrot Island which makes it perfect for time alone with a special someone (*coughs* Blue Hair & Gill). Unfortunately it is a no-build sim, so you can leave those pose balls at home *sigh*. Scripts are still allowed so bring that Couples Animator. *wink*

If all else fails...
PLAY TRINGO! :D I hope we've given you a few things to get you out of your SLhomes to help you bring in summer properly.
Go... go... go... Get out & get animated! :)))
