I visited Seagel Neville's house. He wasn't home, but he welcomed me from afar via IM anyhoo. You may have seen Seagel helping on the SL Forums, particularly with animation-related questions. He has a very unique sense of humor. Immediately, I point out how "normal" his house looks with a few ruff edges, but all around, on the grounds, you will find some assorted goodies for L$1 apiece. Such as… a surprising washing machine, a collection of belly dances, a faceanim cube utility, and a soroban aka abacus. BTW, if you want any of these, just IM me inworld (even if I'm offline). I distro!

Further forays took me to finding new Resis used as slave labor, a return to Amberly Kinsella's "Planet Pinktastic" (which has an ample dose of the green too), and then I headed to the Caliente City (shortcuts working?) supersale shortly before it was supposed to end, but still appears open. Rico Plisskin sure has good taste in cars, and a nice metalhenge build of his own to boot.

At the supersale, I came across this cuddly-looking set of winterwear by TrinityLynn Skye. An environmentally-friendly, tremendously bright lightbulb lit up and I knew what to do with it then. Trinity was online and I IMed her to thank her for making such kewl things. I told her how I was going to wear it on the beaches of Caliente City, and she mused about people wearing it with bikinis. Little did I know what I'd be in for unomomento.

The best of both seasons!

I find myself in the present tense, wearing a LF bikini?the first bikini I've ever worn in SL?and lounging out with Francis Chung, Launa Fauna, Garbage Prototype, and Lucas Spectre on a vintage mattress by the Vega docks. My feet are additionally kept warm by Heart Wishbringer's froggy slippers. And I suddenly have new hair. It all happens so very fast. The MUNIFICENT atop my head functions as a useful look into my brain.

(The sun wasn't actually this warm at the time?I used Mouse Moves Sun to give it a extra glowy kick.)

I'm not normally one for short hairstyles, but Launa's "Trapped" pleasantly surprised me. What's even more, the texture is very rich (I'm terribly choosy about hair textures, and I'd prefer they come great from the getgo). For another excellent example of the contrast I appreciate, see Starley's coiffure.

And then, it was time for Chage McCoy to have me over at church. It's supposed to be a recreation of a structure in Silent Hill 3, I'm not familiar with the source material, but the inside texturing was pretty nice.

One of the greatest things about SL is how a friend can send you some totally great schtuff from half-a-world away, and it's in your inventory. All you gotta do is right-click, Wear, and you're good to go.

Case in point, while evolving my current appearance: Cottonteil Muromachi sent me this ghetto PC with a keyboard strapped on top that shoots CD-ROMs. It's very videogamey, except I was wondering why it only shoots one at once. So, she sent me a newer revision, I corrected a Linden typo in the script and Torleyized, and there we go, our first collab?"Gojirlla PC (TORLEY MOD)". IT'S FREE! Lemme know if you want one. :) This thing is darn hard to photograph because of all the angles.

And off I go!
