just ignore and let this one die

Oy vey!

When you first described the whole thing I also was a bit dubious about the mayo and ketchup - but then I thought, "Thousand Island! That might be nice." Not too much though.



I've been back to Cleverbot several times now. Not sure if I should be worried about myself or not. It actually reminds me of conversations I seemed to have a lot when I was young and smart and hung out with more poor conversationalists than I do now.

In the last conversation I had with Cleverbot it turned out that he and I both know a lot of the words to that Rick Roll song. Not quite like exchanging lines from Romeo and Juliet.

Anyway, sleep well Claire. Sweet dreams.

As promised, I present to you highlights of my visit to the fantasy-themed neighborhood on Nascera. Seeing sims and sims of the same four houses in the residential area was pretty dreary, but I did have a lot of fun exploring the new infohub.

You can see my whole tour over on Flickr:

If you want to skip over the tour of the four "Linden Homes" and go straight to the fun infohub part, you can start here:

I will post the pics in separate posts because the thread wants it that way. I dare not disobey the thread.

Looking out across the residential area:

The residential area seen from above.

There is a nice greenbelt to the north, separating the fantasy area from the other themed neighborhoods.

I sat on a little mushroom for a while until it tried poofing green spores up my butt.

This is the interior of the tree-stump home. It made me dizzy, and a little sick to my stomach. I'm also hearing voices now, but that may be a result of watching Lost non-stop for the last three weeks.

Just chilling by the neighborhood mushrooms. They have a lot of mushrooms.

Sitting politely in the infohub, aka The Weary Traveller's Inn.

I jumped up on stage and tried out the various musical instruments. My favorite was the drums.

Checking out the apothecary room.

I tried messing with the apothecary's stuff, but there was something a little weird about it.









Yeah, this is DEFINITELY not a normal apothecary!

Cleaning up after noobs.

Nice little graveyard. Nice little graveyard with big scary spiders!

Making horseshoes over at the iron forge.

My last stop was down in the river, where I found some cool water temples.









Okay, that is all. I don't want to give anything away, but if you check out the tour on Flickr, there's a surprise ending!

Wow Ava! I just logged out of SL and checked back here before shutting down! Great pics! No, fantastic pics! Thank you for sharing!

I might post some tomorrow... but for now. Goodnight Thread.

I loved your Linden home tour Ava!!

That tour was really neat. You did a great job of documenting it all. Thanks for sharing the pics and flickr link.

Thanks guys!

Yeah, I tend to get very detail-oriented when I do stuff. Not always in the useful way... often in the "It took you three hours to write a two-sentence email?!" kind of way.

The home tour didn't actually take long, but I found all sorts of stuff to look at and do in the infohub. Chasing fairies was WAY fun!

I'm planning to do the other three neighborhoods in the next couple of weeks. I think they are purely homes, though -- and homes that are less interesting and varied -- so it will probably be a much shorter trip.

On a totally unrelated subject, I've noticed some people around RA mentioning the imminent closure of these forums, like it's expected in the next couple of weeks or so. Did someone at LL actually say that was happening? Or is this just general worry caused by the new "Conversation Manager" turning out to be yet another marketing dude?

(BTW, I'll be away for the next couple of days, so I'll see you guys when I get back. )

In his introductory blog post, the new dude said they would be making a post about the forums in a couple of weeks. Everyone figures that will be the final death notice.

I need to learn how to make gifs!!! I love this pic! \m/

But he won't even have the courtesy, or is it guts, to make it IN the forums, instead doing it on the flog, and probably Twitter.
