If I ever got a dog in real life it would probably be an English bulldog. I think they have the cutest face ever. I had a co-worker once who had one and hers was super big with all the folds in the skin and I would often joke with her saying that he had a face only his mother would like… meaning her. She would laugh as she knew I was messing with her. It looked like this one here except a bit wider.

Hope it’s been a great Monday!

Dreaming of You

On October 24, 2015 By AlexaIn Uncategorized2 Comments

Showing some more great stuff from the Geeks ‘n’ Nerds Event that will run until November 1st.

Everything, including what I am wearing is from the event.

“Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I wish on a star that somewhere you are
Thinking of me too

Cause I’m dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow I’ll be holding you tight
And there’s nowhere in the world I’d rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me…”

Jian for Home Show

On May 2, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, Furniture, Home, Landscaping2 Comments

This is a bit of a long post, though somewhat very therapeutic for me as this was not one of my best weeks and ended yesterday in not a very pleasant way. Though today is a new day and I look forward to just relaxing this whole weekend.

There is a new store called Jian coming to the grid, even though the creator behind it is not new and many know her work as a mesh artist under the brand of Dsyfunctional Designs. The sister store will be on the same sim as Dysfunctional and while it is now open to the public it will have its grand opening on June 1st. The creator has already made good on her renewed commitment to bring high quality mesh goods with low impact in geometry, textures and script time with their items at the Home Show 2015.

The first item that I want to mention is the ash trees. The new system that Jian is utilizing works exclusively with their products and Jian foliage. It’s such an easy system. You rezz your trees and attach the HUD and click it. There will be several options that you will be able to choose to work with the products… by season (spring, summer, autumn and winter), product or individual items. The last is quite handy when you want to individualize and give it that personal touch by changing each tree with its own season, the leaves and bark. I have a mixture of the spring, summer and autumn trees in this picture.

The next item is the bird bath that also can be customized with a texture choice menu that has 12 textures for you to choose from.

The last item that I want to point out is the hanging lanterns that too can be customized by just clicking on them. You will be able to change the texture as well as make a choice for the lights being on, off or set to day cycle based on the sim daylight settings.

As always with script items, make sure you work with a copy and keep a spare in your inventory in case something goes haywire. Then when you’re all done getting it exactly how you want it then you have the option to also delete the script so that it can reduce potential lag that scripts sometimes can create. I know that whenever I have landscaped with lots of greenery, grass always seems to create lag for me and I have to make sure and delete scripts once I get everything looking exactly as I like.

The remaining items being shown are from various creators that participated in the just finished round of TAG! Gacha. I don’t know if the machines will be available at the stores now that the event is over, but if they are and you get a mystery coupon you will not be able to claim those as that redemption location is now closed.

Whose lifting who?

On April 28, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Furniture3 Comments

It’s very rare that I will feel hungry in the morning. I try to at least eat something minimal and it’s usually a piece of fruit if nothing else. Today I wanted something more and didn’t have the time to really make something so I decided to go through a drive-through of a popular fast food chain for a breakfast sandwich. They were out of the muffin bread of the sandwich I chose and straws. I am hoping it’s not indicative of how the rest of my day goes as today I’m playing nice with all of my four bosses.

I don’t know where I was going with this picture when I started to open and put down items received when I randomly played machines in this round of TAG! Gacha. There were only a handful of stores that I really wanted to play and the others I played at random once or not at all. I find this event to be like a little mini arcade except you go to each store to hit the machines. Though what I truly like about this event is the HUD system that you can spin to get to the next destination. It made going around to each store so much easier.

One of the rare items, not shown here, that I played for is actually all items for men. Everything except the weights reminded me of those wrestler shows that my brothers used to watch when we were growing up. I think somewhere in a box of old pictures I have an autographed photo of some wrestler from a non-sporting event that I attended. It’s been so long ago that I can’t remember exactly when or the name of the wrestler right now. I do have a vague recollection of the picture itself as the wrestler is in jeans with no shirt and flexing his big muscles.

Have a great Tuesday!
