Message to Facebook

Weather making me cranky. Spending the weekend in Second Life where there is none. Will not have access to Facebook at the cabin I’m staying. “See” some of you next week. Happy snowboarding!

Snapshot1095_001

That’s my new cabin I set up about 250 meters from Town Hall. You can see part of Collagesity in the background. But, no, I probably won’t be spending all my time there this weekend. I’m going to try to be away from Facebook all the same.

Carrcasses

“Quick chat tonight, Hucka D. I’ve been involved a lot of the day [on Facebook] with talk and visions about audiovisual synching. Now in this blog I often call the products of such *carrcasses*, obviously related to the name Carrcassonne. Big Carr. has assumed the mantle of town deity, and united with head husband Perch and also dispelled at least one attack on the village from the outside, maybe 2. Carrcassonnee took over rulership of the carrcasses — they started to be called that when she came into power — about 2008 I guess. I just watched what could be considered the first carrcass, or the last non-carrcass in one. It’s a 2-n-1, again. It’s complicated.”

Hucka D.:

I’ll help. You are talking about the base carrcass, or Carrcass+0 and Carrcass-0 together. This is both carrcass and non-carrcass, just like zero is both a number and not a number. It is a base. Within you have many of the characters that now also appear in Collagesity, including Master Shake, including the Plutonian and Moonite, including the giant robotic town smasher suggested as an invasion deterrent by the Plutonian and Moonite jointly. This is the Insanoflex gone totally wrong and wonky. The missing piece shaped like an “M” was inserted to start this whole mess. It stands for “Men”… “Man”. These are also the Ancients described very early in your blog-creating, the Baker Blinker Blog to be specific, the original blog… the original baker b. blog.

bb:

Yeah. We have Oglethorpe at or near the beginning, controlling Baker Bloch in some kind of ill defined master-servant relationship. That’s the second Plutonian of Aqua Teen. And then the 2nd and last Moonite also appears early. And Master Shake of course. These Ancients controlled the early section of the blogs because Carrcass -0/+0 had just been created, and represented the last and latest audiovisual synch, Hucka D. These kind of synchs control the text of the blog in an undercurrent fashion. So when the first true carrcass came along, Carrcass-1 as I called and numbered it, then *that* became the default control[ of the blog]. There’s something a bit different about Carrcass-1.

Hucka D.:

And even Boxy Brown was in Carrcass-0, to go back to that one. You have to talk to Carrcassonnee about the carrcasses. Isn’t that obvious?

bb:

Suppose so.

Hucka D.:

She’ll make it more interesting to both you and others. That’s a function of the town as well. Collagesity. The hidden power and control.

—–

bb:

Let me give another quick example, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Of course. But then: sleep.

bb:

In Noru this past August, Carrcassonnee became very large just before Carrcass-11 formed, and afterwards became small or more normal sized again. She described it as being hungry and then being satisfied: the hunger caused her to be large.

Hucka D.:

She was pushing you toward the synchronicity. She knew it was coming up. *You* knew it was coming up. It was like a car full of people pulling up for a party.

bb:

Hmm.

Carr.:

Not to worry you or nothing, but I am becoming hungry again. Just slightly but it’s growing.

bb:

Okay. Thanks for letting me know, Carrcassonnee.

Carr.:

You’re welcome. We have another visitor.

Attack?

Checked out Medici University last night through Baker Bloch. A bedazzled Baker rests at a coffee house. Here’s the official website. Exciting possibilities!

More on the encompassing Linden Endowment for the Arts here:

http://www.lea-sl.org/

Snapshot1086_002
Another Tile Temple in the background?

The next morning, I log Baker Bloch in again and, through his eyes, *immediately* see those ghost lights in the southeast part of the woods.

Snapshot1088_002

But it turns out to be a tank this time, appearing to come from a sim called Nibiru, very similar to the collaged word Norubi, then (Noru + Rubi: see here for first use). Just replace the “i” with an “o” and you have a 1:1 anagram; must be related. But Baker Bloch cannot find a sim called Nibiru on the world grid. Hmmm…

But why would a Nibiru originating warrior want to invade Collagesity? Are they related somehow to Perch’s cousin “Shadow” who just came for not one but several intense visits? A very good possibility, perhaps even a probability.

I’m confident that Carrcassonnee, now wedded with Head of Perch, has enough magic power to deflect any such attack, just like she dispatched Perch’s cousin a couple of days back. And Collagesity is sort of naturally fortified from invasion, with its narrow entrances at each pathway in. Never considered that before.

Snapshot1088_003

Hmmm again…

Turtle-Tank--97052

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nibiru_cataclysm

Astronomer Mike Brown notes that if this object’s orbit were as described, it would only have lasted in the Solar System for a million years or so before Jupiter expelled it, and that there is no way another object’s magnetic field could have such an effect on Earth.[33] Lieder’s assertions that the approach of Nibiru would cause the Earth’s rotation to stop or its axis to shift violate the laws of physics.

I just inserted a visitor counter script into the globe of the *Earth* at Town Hall. Collagesity (centered by this hall) = Earth/Earth’s Solar System?

Snapshot1091_001

Mention of [Lieder]hosen also found on the same table. Purposely misspelled?

Snapshot1093_001

Carrcassonnee consults with ambassadors from Pluto + Moon (jointly: Charon or Sharon, Moon of Pluto), about the visitor from Nibiru. Carr. correctly postulates that these 2 beings — one olive colored and jagged edged and the other red-violet and square-ish — are a similar two-in-one partnership like her and Head of Perch. She didn’t ask if they were likewise married to each other legally.

Snapshot1091_002

Carr.’s conclusions for now: Yes, Collagesity stands for Earth and its Solar System, and the Nibiru fellow an outsider looking in, a potential invader or dissenter at least. The latter is the specific word Dr. Hi (olive being) used to describe the interloper. Carr. realizes she is the manifestation of all unseen from Earth, beginning at Uranus (remembering the “up my bottom” joke from previous posts) and extending to at least Pluto. Uranus-Neptune-Pluto, then. So after thinking about it a bit more, Carr. realizes that the 2 visitors are merely manifestations of Perch and herself once more, split off for additional knowledge. So of course they’re married in that sense!

“Um, we, er, protect from the outside? *snort*”

My most popular blog post from the past week:

Nibiru Norubi agents checking up?

Another odd thing that happen today is when I was flying around the Rubi Forest through Baker Bloch about half of it disappeared, and the half next to Collagesity. A reboot solved the problem. Half Rubi and half No Rubi. In this manner, the tank and its driver appeared in the *Norubi* side of the sim.

—–

1:21pm:

The guys from Pluto/Moon also suggested Carrcassonnee insert a fake giant robot (animated) into the heart of Collagesity, figuring the appearance of an already invaded town might deter any actual invasion by Norubians. “Wouldn’t hurt”, they jointly added.

Carr.:

Call me Big Carr. Not Little Carr. That’s my Spider (!)

bb:

When I first talked to you in Collagesity, in Noru, you told me not to fly up your bottom.

Carr.:

He he.

bb:

You are a glop being.

Carr.:

Yes. Alien.

bb:

You were specifically suppose to be born on this day, in this sim. Astrology. Hints all day — yet I could not see them.

Carr.:

You must work on memory. I can help. The Woods can help.

[10 minute pause to feed Spider his din din]

Carr.:

Now, where were we?

bb:

Um, I can’t remember (!)

Carr.:

Typical.

[1 hour later]

bb:

So that’s how you found Spider. But how did Redd Foxx know…

Carr. (interrupting):

I have a bad habit of interrupting.

bb:

He wanted to be remembered.

Carr.:

Yes.

bb:

This is how he could do it. He made an agreement…

Carr.:

With The Father. Not God The Father. Just The Father. The Father admired Redd. Place that in The Woods as well. Redd Foxx.

[20 minutes later]

Carr.:

The Star is bright. The Woods is shining. The. Each day it will get a bit stronger. Crosses the continent. And more. Shine a light all the way to the coast to the other coast. Space Ghost Coast to Coast.

bb:

It’s just Temple now. No choice.

Carr.:

Choice is over. Locked in.

What happens in Dallas…

Snapshot1074_003edited

It wasn’t as much a shotgun wedding as a bazooka one. The instant the magic words were said and the 2 souls became one, body and head together, they set about with their increased powers to dispel the ultra-violent, pincushion head of a cousin from the village for good. Nick of time.

Some concerned town citizens, more cousins, just before the resolving, quickie wedding (they’d seen enough already)…

Just then, an unexpected head angles into Collagesity from the southwest asking after another specific and somewhat similar looking head. I suspect: cousins.

What next? 02

Snapshot1070_003

Collagesity isn’t perfect, but it’s as perfect right now as I want to make it, perhaps. Next would be storytelling, usually, but a shift back into collage making might be a path instead. This weekend I may have a chance to return to Mythopolis for more picture taking. March on Sunday! My traditional spring hiking season is coming up. Daylight savings time begins the week after that. It’s a good time of the year, if only I can get past this perhaps one last really cold week here in Blue Mountain. Can I learn to love Blue Mtn. again and its hiking seasons?

I’ve advertised Collagesity on one popular SL art group and already received some encouragement. Am attempting to branch out in RL and contact other collagists and study their works. I hope to have an influence myself but I’m not sure that’s going to happen. As I was writing in an email today, maybe my unique perspective is on the heavy analysis side. I treat collages like dreams to be interpreted, or, more exactly, collage *series*, because they don’t exist in isolation any more for me. They almost always come in series of 10 at the least, like the latest Embarras series (10 and *maybe* counting… maybe).

I’d love also to go back to Middletown soon, and I’m sure that will happen. I feel like an art event at Dead Center Hill could come about in March. But I must think mostly of Blue Mtn. in March-May. Will Whitehead Crossing in Frank Park act as the focus this go around? Sharieland over in Herman Park? So many options still. One place I definitely want to go back and take pictures of is TILE Creek below Drink Lake dam., which I explored about a week and a 1/2 ago some.

It’s relieving to think that I probably won’t be giving up my Second Life land anytime soon to focus on the outdoors. I can have both (!). I still have over 260 prims to play around with in Minoa at last count. I still have wriggle room for experimenting.

“Yes I would like to talk about the creatures that stalk the land below the dam. You have a ditch running across the whole place…”

bb:

… pictured above.

Hucka D.:

Yeah. Suppose. Can’t see.

bb:

It is here you’ll… sorry… you go…

Hucka D.:

It is here *you’ll* make a camp. Perhaps not this spring but later. It’s perfect. The lake is alive.

bb:

Herman Park makes a comeback.

Hucka D.:

Yes. (pause)

bb:

What of the mystery hole?

Hucka D.:

Aliens made it. To get you interested in their lake and their park again. Your attention was floundering. That was their exact words.

bb:

Can my Second Life property at the Rubi Woods co-exist with my renewed interest in Herman Park, if that comes about?

Hucka D.:

It will come about. And, yes, to the question. Both can exist together, even feed off each other. Have you created an Mmmmmm in Second Life yet?

bb:

Not quite yet. Maybe tomorrow.

Hucka D.:

Make it early if so.

bb:

So we have the Mmmmmm’s crashing into their First Tree in the First Goodmobile, then establishing themselves and their civilization first around this tree, then spreading out across all of Great Meadow and even Good Meadow to the west, at least the red version of these toy avatars — around Baffle Bush and Big Log and Second Tree. Then King Bill establishes his small kingdom even further north west, on the edge of Good Meadow.

Hucka D.:

Good Meadow became Great Meadow at that point. Or visa versa.

bb:

And he[ King Bill] had his martin bug keeping him company.

Hucka D.:

The bug beats the bird[ after all].

bb:

He was *orange*, this King Bill. He was sought after for intense wisdom. The other Mmmmmm’s were green and red mainly.

Hucka D.:

Mainly. (pause)

bb:

But then they eventually migrated, gradually, into Hermania and the rhododenron.

Hucka D.:

A great magnet that was indeed. Great Magnet. That’s their phrase for it.

bb:

Because it had so many entertainment and cultural possibilities. And I suppose the council at Meeting Rock took place around this time — in the transition between meadow dwelling and rhododendron dwelling…

Hucka D.:

There had to be a council because there were so many diverse cultures in the area. The Mmmmmm’s, the Mossmen, the Marbles. The big 3 M’s. Then the sentient beavers and their swearing ways. But others you haven’t studied yet. The ones that worship the ditch, and the hole. The lake is alive. Drink Lake.

—–

The Mmmmmm’s wanted to stay in the meadow so they would be seen by rescue planes. But part of them split and wished to live in the rhododendron… safer. A small city (Hermania) was established around TILE Falls and Tip Drip. TILE and Tyle became confused. Meeting Rock was activated. 4n1 or Foreign One or 4orrin1. Hole Tree resonated with the hole at the other end of Drink Lake, Hucka D. Hucka?

What next?

Hucka D.:

Someone has been to Collagesity recently. Shadow Man[ or Woman]. Baker Bloch saw its shadow from his new digs in the Norum Gallery. Mossman and his cousin Boss Moss cowered in the underground while he entered the [Red Umbrella’s] basement. Turns out Shadow was only looking for his own cousin: Perch. “Have you seen him?” Shadow queried the two moss beings. They understandably fled down the passage into the basement of the Fal Mouth Moon, but contact has been made, baker b. If we do not wed Head of Perch with Carrcassonnee soon enough then Shadow will steal the show. Your job is to figure out what he or she is and came from, and how to stop. Can you do this for me?

bb:

Sure, Hucka D. Do you want me to start tonight?

Hucka D.:

Tomorrow is fine. But make it early.

Collagesity: Weekend Projects

This weekend I worked on what could be considered the bookend galleries of Collagesity in the Rubi Museum (now merged with the Town Diner) on its southern boundary and the so-called “World of Collages” on the northern edge. I’ve basically completed all I can with both now.

World of Collages is a project that will always have a working end as you move upwards through the building. This particular gallery will feature guest collage artists whose work I respect and also display well, within the limitations of Second Life texture uploads. Right now we have a selection from “regulars” Kollage Kid and Kenneth Rougeau, but I’m on a search for more. And just to note here, the collage efforts of Julie Sadler are also in the village, housed in the Norum Gallery on its west side. I haven’t made a decision whether just to move her work into the World of Collages gallery or just leave it separate — or display it in both venues.

Snapshot1062_006

I haven’t mentioned this yet, but lately I’ve begun to create cutouts myself besides just buying freebies from the SL Marketplace. Exciting! Here we have Mossman and his cousin Boss Moss, plus Lisa Simpson. More on the way!

Snapshot1062_009

Then we come to the Rubi Museum inside the Town Diner. Now while you grab a quick bite to eat and drink when visiting Collagesity you also have something to stare at. Each prim supports two textures displayed as an animation, similar to what I did with the larger Noru Museum this past summer in that version of Collagesity. I’m quite pleased with the results. I’ve decided to focus exclusively on my VWX Town in Rubi from this past winter in the exhibit, instead of ranging out in an attempt to encompass all my stops in the Rubi area down through the years now. This tightening allowed me to fit the storyline into the Town Diner, and not have to use a separate, larger building like was the case in Noru.

Snapshot1062_012

On a break I also had time to take a quick trip to Heterocera’s west coast using one of the marvelous Yava Script pods.
