Lesson 41

On By AlexaIn Events2 Comments

“We’re all human and we all goof.  Do things that may be wrong, but do something.” ~ Newt Gingrich

Working Hard

I couldn’t help and use this quote, because it perfectly fits these pictures of goofing off while in the office and by rights, totally wrong if it’s against office policy.   Perhaps your experience is different to mine.  I don’t know of too many companies that allow you to take the phone off the hook, sit back and recline to watch a movie on the computer and my favorite of all… to have a buttocks planter?

Taking a Break

I wouldn’t advice anyone to indulge in the activities above — unless you want to take a forced week off.  Smiles.

Linden Endowment for the Arts

“The mind of Frankx Lafavre is a dangerous thing.” ~ His personal quote

Frankx Exhibit 2
Butterfly Glass Sculpture

A friend of mine is participating in this current round of the Linden Endowment for the Arts (LEA) Artists-in-Resident Land Grants program.   The following description was taken from the LEA blog, which you can visit for more information.

“The LEA Land Grant program seeks to promote and nurture the arts in Second Life, through a five-month land grant to recipients. Recipients can be individuals or groups interested in creating or curating art, or proposing cultural projects which would require/utilise a full-sim build and can be completed within the allotted time frame. The LEA is able to offer land grants through the generosity of Linden Lab.”

I could not even begin to describe this Australian friend of mine as he is quite a mixture of many things combined — 99 % all good.  His land is called Devil’s Island, so I think he deserves that 1% bad.  Chuckles.   Since I have known him I have always admired his artistic side and his passion and tenacity for building and scripting.   I am extremely glad to see him finally taking more of a plunge to share his art with the Second Life community.

Many of his recent and some of his past works can be seen at LEA and the art sculpture below is a gift that you can locate during the visit.

True Love…7 Year Itch

On By AlexaIn Events, Home2 Comments

7 Year Itch

I didn’t start off with wanting to do a blog post today, but after placing this salty boat bar set at my new home it sort of lent itself to a picture.  Originally, my first take of pictures had a plant in the corner where that cigarette machine is at, though it just didn’t seem to fit.  Then I remembered that I had purchased the machine as a backdrop for something else I had in mind.

Now I’m just having a giggle as my sign says love never lasts and the machine has the name of the store, which is “Seven” and my mind just went… “until the 7 year itch then all hell breaks loose.“

It’s my party, and I’ll cry shop if I want to
Cry Shop if I want to, cry shop if I want to
You would cry shop too if it happened to you… 

{part of the lyrics from “It’s My Party” –  song by Leslie Gore}

I turned all of 3 years on Wednesday, and so I did a little shopping to celebrate.  Lucky me Collabor88 opened up its new round that day and that couldn’t be more perfect.

Happy Birthday to me!! 🙂

Beam of Light

“The love of knowledge is a kind of madness.”  ~ C.S. Lewis

Photo Image 7

Yesterday I tinkered a little with Photoshop and it’s not a program I am eager to learn to use. Personally, I find it such a difficult program to understand even with all the hundreds of tutorials online that I can view.  It’s just not an activity I envision utilizing some of my free time doing. However, I can’t help being fascinated by some of the effects I see on pictures and wondering how it’s done.  

I might have mentioned in one of my past posts that I pretty much use PicMonkey to touch up photos.  It’s simple, easy and fast and truth be told I like instant gratification and on to the next thing.

Here are my results.  The cropped picture above was done strictly using PicMonkey and the two pictures below are the outcome of my lesson in inserting a beam of light into my photo using Photoshop.

The before.

The after.

I’m quite happy with the way it turned out that I just might play with it again. 🙂

Morning ride…

I woke up this morning rather unexpectedly at 4 a.m. and after tossing and turning a bit more I just finally gave in and got up.   If I lived out in the country I would probably own a horse and be out riding at midnight instead morning light.

May your Friday be filled with sunshine and happiness!
