Woooo I just got back from guesting on Tonight Live with Paisley Beebe in Second Life, it was totally fun. WHAT A ROCKIN' SHOW. Paisley made me feel at ease right away, doing the run-through prep with my fellow guests Slim Warrior and Diana Allandale was so lively and funny, and Yxes Delacroix, Rena Mayne, and Ember Farina were soooo helpful in answering my questions and providing info so I didn't botch anything up! It sure looks easier in hindsight, but that's the way a lot of things are, eh?
My only regret is that ~10 min. was not long enough to get through all the topics Paisley had in mind for me, even with my speedy talking, but perhaps there'll be a sequel. I'm avid about followup.
There was an ongoing joke about eating all the chocolates because the big couch's leftmost seat (from the perspective of the audience) had this built-in anim that made it look like you were eating out of a box of varied candy hearts.
I am immensely energized by my beloved wife, Ravenelle Zugzwang, being there for me. I am going through some pretty exciting (and at times jarring) changes right now in my first and Second Life. Ravie keeps me on course when I get unfocused, and reminds me every day of what's really important about being alive. "Do great things!" is one of the first motivating quips she ever said to me, and I keep that close, and act on it. As a kid, I wouldn't have understood what a powerful force L-O-V-E is, but I'm beginning to.
Ravie also took photos of the event like the two above, so check it out on her Flickr stream.

Glad you had a YAYZERAMA!-istic time!
It's odd because I see myself as moving, talking relatively slow, but that's my own skewed sense of spacetime. Thanks Hexx, Smiley, and Spikez!
