Rosanna’s Hole

As you probably know Cazaluff and Rosanna came to live on Turing Isle II (not together you understand, but separately.) Anyway, Rosanna starting digging… and digging… and digging… until she had a great big hole. And blisters on her hands. And a stiff back.

Me and Dad and Aunt Lucy think that she’ll probably throw Logan down in the hole and then fill it in again. I’ll need to make sure that I’m elsewhere that day.

Under The Sea

Logan and I found this place where you can walk through a tunnel and see all the creatures (and the radio-active waste) under the sea.

I was kind hoping that Jules Verne or someone would sail past so we could have a little chat, but no such luck.

Anyway, we saw this octopus, who looked to me like he was lining up to cause a bit of bother…

…so I warmed up the glass where he was sitting a little bit and he ran off.

And The Shoes Go Round and Round

I went with Blu and Cazaluff and Logan when they went shopping at a sim called YABU. Shopping usually starts out fairly sensibly, they go to a store or two and look at clothes or shoes or hair. Then gradually it deteriorates: Blu buys something and then a few more things and then Cazaluff buys everything in sight and then she runs out of cash, has to got to the ATM and then she gets lost.

So after a while they were all separated and wandering around at random and I spotted a sign that said “Shoe Factory” so Logan and I went to have a look.

They are clearly concerned about safety, so I made sure that Logan stood back from the railing. I didn’t want her to get her hair caught in the machine and being dragged into it only to end up with me having to explain to the manager why the shoes were all covered in pieces of Logan.

So all the shoe ingredients go into the shoe making machine and the valves go up and down…

and the shoes go round and round

Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho

and they come out here!

Never Leave…

…Your Avatar Unattended

Because someone will get you. Rosanna left hers and Logan and Cazaluf started slapping her around.

Of course this was quite a mild one, you should have seen what happened to Ebi Ebi back in the winter before I was born. Blu, Cazaluff AND the dogs got him, whilst Logan held the camera.

Yokels Hollering

Have I ever told you Logan’s mother’s story about the Yokel and the Huntsman? No? Well, it comes from a very old Punch cartoon.

Huntsman: “Where did you see the fox?”

Boy: “I ain’t seen no fox”

Huntsman: “Then what was ye hollerin’ for?”

Boy: “Cause I likes ‘ollerin’.”

Recently, some eighty years after the original cartoon was published, I had the good fortune to witness the rehearsals for the  twenty-first century re-enactment.

Here they are, four yokels, sittin’ ‘pon a fence,  ‘ollerin’.  (-:

Cazaluff’s Boat Ride

Cazaluff moved into Turing Isle II and built a big house. Then she had the boats delivered. On the night that Isle of Dogs opened we all went for a ride with her to celebrate.

…we all looked so cool…

… and we’ve all heard the tales of life on the ocean waves and all that…

…and how this could be you…

OOOOPS! And now it is.

Puppy

Ok, so you are very, very cute.

In fact you are adorable, but if you ever, and by that I mean ever put your tongue into my mouth again, there will be trouble. Big trouble.

Isle of Dogs

You know that place that I said I wasn’t allowed to talk about and take pictures of? (Not the one with the dancing girls and the poles, the other one, you know… the secret one?) Well, now it is not a secret.

.

First came the announcement from Enrico…

…me and Logan then made another one for the people on Turing Isle in the Dog Park so they would know to come too. (Actually we made that one just because we can. Logan likes sending messages to the estate and she likes hollering. Simple pleasures, eh?)

So then you press OK and you go out through the Vavoom! store and get onto the bridge, and go slowly so that you don’t fall into the water between the sims.

and oh… who’s this? It’s Dad wandering around aimlessly. He looks like a bloody tourist.

Meanwhile up in the new Plaza…

Rico is waiting for the people to come and looking apprehensive…

…Blu is busy making a few last minute adjustments…

and on the little deck by the waterside, the gulls are waiting for someone to come and feed them. But, it won’t be me I can tell you, the last time I got near the gulls, one of them stole my chips. I’m not having that happen again, chips I can bear but I don’t wanna lose a Frankenbabyburger to them. They just gobble up anything in sight, so they wouldn’t appreciate good quality fare like that.

Durostore Fire

I do not know the whole of this story, and I may not understand all of this correctly yet. But apparently, about a year before I was born, Blu and Logan did some work for the DuroSport Electronics Company in Jarang.  Blu and Logan did a lot of work on the Prism DuroSport SL-6001VRMP.  “The most unique media player in all of Second Life.”

I am not completely clear what LogSpark did in this venture and what they did not, but it looks like someone hired dancing girls, which is always good.

But I am a bit worried about the fat bald bloke with the cigar and the things I have heard and read about him: bad cough, fascination with ‘the law suiting’, and total inability to spell anyone’s name correctly.

It seems that trouble follows them wherever they go and I hear that this protest sign was just the beginning in Jarang.

.

I hacked into raided borrowed some photos from Logan’s collections and found these:

Vladimir Concescu, Chief Product Engineer.This is his Second Life Avatard (sic) his real life photo is even more scary than the fat bloke’s.

A rare (2007 era) photo of Blu, Ebi and Logan

An even rarer photo of Madmann Legend who disappeared shortly after the completion of the project. Foul play is suspected.

This is the photo of the fire itself, it was taken by the security cameras and sent to Logan by one of the proprietors. We are all very sad to hear about Otto.

Finally, you had better see the video that Nero Rang posted to youtube of the fire, he also posted about it in the DuroSport Insider blog.

Terraforming

Blu was terraforming Turing Isle II and Logan and I went to help.

Blu got stuck in the ground almost up to her waist.

She was trying to get Logan to help her out.

But Logan was just standing around looking like an idiot in an arthritic looking crouch.

I was so embarrassed.
