My birthday and the last few days
Jan. 9th, 2007 03:30 pmFriday I spent out caching with a guy named Shadow. We went up to Fremont and got about 11 and 8 caches respectively (he'd cached up there before and I hadn't). We plan to do it again next Friday if the weather continues fair. I admit I have mixed feeling on the topic... we're very far behind rainfall for the year and may be facing a drought if we don't get some rain. Friday night Owl Moon used our circle to invoke rain.
Saturday, of course, was my birthday. I had a lot of fun. In the morning I went into Second Life and did WorldQuest, which was a game sponsored by a new art gallery opening. The first prize (which I won!) was L$2,500 (about US$10) and five pieces of art. It was a blast! And it took me to parts of the world I definitely plan to visit again - Scotland and New Paris, esp. Then Russell and I went to see the CIA movie, The Good Shepherd which was good but kind of depressing. I am *so* glad I don't live like that. Actually, I think that about movies I see fairly often. *grin* Russell and Kurt took me out to dinner at a local sushi place, Kubota, and we have an excellent meal and a wonderful night together.
Sunday Russell and I decided to try to see The Queen. We had seen that it was sold out the other times we'd been to the theater so we went early and got our tickets and then went to luck at the Rock Bottom Brewery. Despite getting in line in about the middle of the pack, we didn't get seats! Bah humbug. Onto the netflix list it goes. I'm not going through *that* again!
Monday we started planning our costumes for Rakkasah and Tribal Fest. We have been working on music for Tribal Fest and we knew what we'd do if we got into Rakkasah... I foresee much rehearsing in my future. *grin*
Today in Second Life I did my first "Getting Your Avatar Together" tour. I had three attendees, all at least 15 minutes late. One gal couldn't get her browser to stablize and left. We lost another after the first location and then SL went down repeatedly (I had to relog 4 times in 10 minutes) and the final tourist and I gave up. *sigh* I know that it wasn't anything I did or could have done different... but I feel like a failure. I spent soooo much time preparing for the tour and I hope I'll get a chance to help folks. I hope tomorrow's goes better. We're starting after the sceduled downtime and new software release... so I'm not actually really hopeful.
