Indeed, not at all unlike the fine, delicious roast I'm cooking right now.

"What might be in this roast," I hear you asking yourself.

Well, friends. I'll tell you all about it. Starring in tonight's Yet Another Enabran Roast are:

Those adorable little red potatos
Freshly-chopped mushrooms
Delicious vidalia onions
Chopped garlic
Red wine

And, of course, a choice slab of beef which will bathe in the delicious juices that issue from all of the above.

And what does that have to do with Second Life?

I'll tell you all about that, too. You see, Second Life is like trying to eat the above-described roast with a straw. You get all red in the face and in the end, you get no beef.

Off you go, then.

Postscript: Why am I talking about my roast? Because it's been too damn long and you're all starting to think I've lost the knack.

I don't think you've lost the knack, Enabran. But it certainly looks like you've lost something. Have you taken your temperature lately? Tried to walk toe to toe?

Hmm, it's funny you mention that because, you see, I'm searching for something, possibly taken out of my soul. Something, indeed, that I would never lose. Instead, I am distinctly of the impression that it's something somebody stole.

Yeah, around that time. I don't actually know why I go walking at night, but now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore.

missing your metacortex?

06-24-2006 17:09

Enny (if I can call you Enny) perhaps you were storing parts of your personality as AI "agents" in an extra-cranial "metacortex," like the protagonist in "Accelerando." Loss of connection with the metacortex can cause symptoms such as the ones you have described.

PTSD or a particularly bad romantic breakup can also present similar symptoms.

Maybe your anxiety is caused by the impending Singularity. We're all in that boat, I'm afraid. My response (may not work for everyone) is to move to Oregon. I'll see you in the woods.

Technically, you are indeed capable of calling me Enny, as well as any number of other names and titles. However, if you were to ask "May I call you Enny," I would answer that doing so would disqualify you from having any of my roast.

You need some Guinness Cheesecake.

But I won't give you the recipe until the next release.

We did Surf & Turf tonight, in honor of Sig's sweet new job. Grilled cod filets, skewered garlic shrimp, jalepeno buttered grilled corn on the cob, tri-tip beef roast, and crispy cold garden salad.

Yum!

Ok, I had mango-dusted sea bass with lobster mashed potatoes and am OK now.

Enabran, your metaphor suggests you are using a dial-up connection, I'd recommend broadband for SL.

I am happy to report that the roast has just emerged from the oven. After much careful observation, the meat has reached a point of utter perfection. It falls apart as I graze it with the blade.

Now I let it cool, that the juices may settle comfortably, deep within the roast's center.

I confess to having poached a mushroom earlier in the process of cooking. That I was able to remain conscious and not overtaken by a nearly sexual bliss at the consumption of this exceedingly perfect treat is a testament not to my own willpower, but instead to God's generosity that I remain sufficiently lucid to bring this adventure to its proper conclusion.

This is the way the roast ends.
