Fal Mouth Moon, The

Snapshot1509_001

New structure in town, but actually quite old. Formerly a haunted hotel, now it functions as a gallery for the Gilatona-Lis[-Falmouth] series (replacing the Power Tower Gowlery on that) and also as a portal to The Moon (replacing the Norris Building on that). More soon!

And, oh yeah, I’m definitely in Rubi for another month. Decision gate passed through.

The Fal Mouth Moon has connections with Bay City’s similarly fowl Falmouth Hotel via wig topped Red Skeleton. It’s also associable with The Shining’s cursed Overlook Hotel in snowy Colorado. An exorcism may have taken place there in past/present/future.

I don’t think…

rubi131204

… I’m going to be able to give up my Rubi property in the next several days. Set it up for sale? I could make my money back on a sale, but I have to weigh continued creative value (including value to this blog, of course) with giving it up and shifting to other emphases.

Check out the map of the Rubi sim above: The VWX Tower can be seen spanning the entire length of my town/property there, [over] 2/3rds of a sim long, but probably [considerably] over a sim’s length walking it from top to bottom. Interesting fun fact: You can’t walk it in reverse. But one thing I noticed on the map is that the [cat topped] City Hall lies almost precisely halfway down the length of VWX Tower, making a right angle with it.

Hucka D.:

1996. It was a good year for crop circles. You have two on your property now. Well, not crop circles. Glyph art. Composites. VWX Tower is a tile uniting audio and video. What is the audiovideo tile referred to?

bb:

It’s a towering tile, whatever.

Hucka D.:

Think.

Collage always there is.

“I wonder if Bracket Jupiter came back as a Tylepire on the Heterocera continent, specifically around Slosser?

Hucka D.:

Baker’s not here tonight, Edwardston. I will help[ instead]. I am Bracket as well.

Edwardston Resident:

Are you?

Hucka D.:

Yes.

Snapshot1411_013

Edwardston Resident:

It [the post] says, that Slosser was full, and it had done its bit. So bit equals bite, as in the bite that turns one into a, um, tylepire.

—–

Edwardston R. (still reading):

Looks like the last bit of Heterocera mythology I really have to deal with comes from the Pond District. Lakeview is afterwards, but no mythology developed there.

Hucka D.:

Not really.

Edwardston R.:

Slosser is sort of a broken off part of the Pond District, really.

Hucka D.:

Kind of.

Edwardston R.:

I think I want to study all the streams of Heterocera, and all the gorges, either dry or wet. Like HEC Canyon, which I still haven’t read about.

Hucka D.:

All centers around Rubi. Even when none of the [Baker] family lived there… here. Because we still live here, right? Last time I checked.

Edwardston R.:

Yes, because my house has not been deleted.

Hucka D.:

Good enough. Baker b. plans to set the land for sale soon, perhaps today. And he told me you’re okay with this.

Edwardston R.:

I suppose.


Heck’s Canyon.

Buses, Boats, Bibles, Butterflies, Beads, Bends, Bugspikes and Beards

Edwardston R.:

Hucka D., do you know this Nish Mip?

Hucka D.:

Yes, she is an explorer friend of Baker Bloch’s. Former friend… I don’t think they’ve communicated in years. Baker Bloch use to have a number of SL explorer friends but they, one by one, gradually dropped by the wayside as all moved on from Second Life and into real life or else other fake lives, or a combo of both. Another prime example would be Headburro Antfarm, who was also a friend of Nish Mip’s. You should study Antfarm’s work as well.

Edwardston (still reading Heterocera related posts):

And I see Heck’s Canyon has direct ties to Corsica continent. It is equated with the Valley of Nye, the huge, hypothetical ocean gorge that separates Corsica from Nautilus continents. Baker’s square Edwardston Station Gallery in the sky, the archetypal cube, peers down into it like a giant eye. Thus Eye of Rye. And appropriately the cube is the same as Jasper County, Illinois, and Jasper is the first name of Jack Daniels, whose namesake company just put out an unaged version of a rye drink.

Hucka D.:

You are becoming more and more like baker b.

Edwardston R.:

Maybe. (pause; still reading) Now I’ve come to the literature about the Pond District black hole, Hucka D. That’s another directly link with Corsica… literally, because the hole connects the center of Heterocera’s Pond District with Corsica’s Bracket sim and Comma Islands. I have done my homework!

Hucka D.:

Impressive. (pause) Too impressive?

Edwardston R.:

Now I have to understand about this King and his Queen in Ratcliff, Pond District, and their All White Horses shop in the downtown area.

Hucka D.:

It’s all a downtown. But… yes. You do.

Edwardston R.:

Bracket Jupiter is of course the King of the Stans, and his Queen there is the Brackage Queen. He just saw a picture of her in the art gallery on the mountain where his castle use to exist. Question: Is this the same as the King and Queen of Ratcliff?

Hucka D.:

A question to be asking.

Edwardston R.:

That is a central issue, and one I must confer with Bracket about. Is there any way to properly meet him?

Hucka D.:

There’s always collage.


“A” is Mount Pond;”B” is Baker’s new 512 parcel; “C” is what Hucka D. claims is The King’s old shop in Ratcliff, which he has just now identified by name (“All White Horses are One White Horse”, which the locals, again according to Hucka D., most frequently shortened to “All White Horses”); and then “D” is the site of the miniature city of New Gummton on the shores of Lake Sesia.

Another one?

Baker Bloch plays the keyboards at the Norris Building. He understands the generated microcosm. *I* want to play the keyboards. Purchasing commencing soon! But will it help spell the demise of VWX Town? Neither Baker Bloch nor his user know yet. But in the meantime, I decided to play around with the City Hall module and create another town tower, a really, really high one. And *long* — 2/3rds of a sim long. Almost a sim high. I call it the VWX Tower.

VWX Tower arching above the cat topped City Hall. Yeah, it’s way up there.

Which came first?

Eye of Rye and Chasm Deep Sink (Rye of Eye?)

Then below we have the outline of the Chasm Deep sim (orange) superimposed on the Eye of Rye picture, with the alignment between the 2 locations in place still. Remarkably, the 2 highlighted sims of each picture, Nostrilia (red) and Chasm Deep, turn out to, in essence, share the same diagonal (pink), *and*, moreover, intersect each other in such a way as to form a square whose sides are precisely *2/3rds* the length of the associated sims.

Because of this fact, the interference pattern can be easily broken down into a grid of squares 1/3rd the length of a sim. A 3×3 example of such squares making up the Nostrilia sim is shown below.

The Baker family believes this is a representation of 2 eyes focusing, one the Eye of Rye itself, and the other Chasm Deep Sink, peering in the opposite direction, as it were.

The implications here could be far reaching. Far reaching indeed.

Is it strange that I read this today after I just wrote the spanking new VWX Tower (constructed the night before) is *2/3rds* of a sim long?

More on this:

http://bakerblinker.wordpress.com/2010/09/29/notes-3/

Ear of Beer, to Ancients, was Chasm Deep sink, as Eye of Rye was the identified island in this blog. Same size — also represents an audio and video side of an a/v tile. Together they make a tile when cued together correctly, an exact 1:1 match. The Martians did this? And their 1/3rd size “sims”? Covered over by the regular size LL grid sims?

The 2/3rds sim overlap between Chasm Deep (ear, audio) and Norstilla (eye, video) is an audiovisual *tile*.

http://zentangle.blogspot.com/2010/06/on-first-day-of-naptime.html

This is much like Gridcosm, frequented by Mike Casey and also his arch-pal known as Bacon Hellershanks in virtual reality, still a resident of the Heterocera continent.

Color of the VWX Tower modules, west to east:

Modules number 13 total for the VWX Tower, the first and last being green. It’s a triple octave. In contrast, City Hall, based on the same module, is a *single* octave:

GREENredyellowblueGREEN.

City Hall is topped by a cat. The much longer and higher VWX Tower is not, and actually cannot be due to property constraints.

Each of the 4 green modules/sections of the VWX except the bottom presently contains a single figure (Lt. Pepper; hooded figure; Giant Rotating Head of Bob). Only the bottom green module (of 2) of City Hall contains a figure (Ben Thar), if you don’t count the topping cat.

Eye of Rye? 03

Until then, I’ll leave you with a simple collage of a new crop circle that Hucka D. is implying relates to the Baker’s discovery of the Eye of Rye island. Some interesting comparisons for sure here.

Chatters…

Hucka D.:

Yes. Thanks in turn. Eye of Rye perched on the edge of the Valley of Nye, peering down into it almost. No, make that definitely. An eyeball on the edge. Chasm Deep turns the other direction.

“It would be best if Edwardston started with the concept of the Sylver Forest and moved from there. Roger Pine Ridge should be understood. Why does Waters change to Pine Ridge?”

bb:

Roger Pine Ridge is certainly eligible to sit at The Table, along with variants Peter Gabriel, Little Robert Plant, Marty and Lemon, and, lets see, Dr. Blood or Knik now. Day Ravies?

Hucka D.:

Dr. Blood is truly at the Head of the table now. He’s Da Man. The Director.

bb:

He might like ordering Marty around, harhar.

Hucka D.:

Roger Pine Ridge definitely wants to join. The Tide is Turning. Flat top. Use to think the world was flat… 1936.**

bb:

Theory, Hucka D.: Waters changing to Pine Ridge in ’36 opens doors to Sylver Forest memories.

Hucka D.:

You’ll have to tell Edwardston Resident about Roger Pine Ridge and Montgomery County, Arkansas.*

bb:

Your favorite state after all, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Right. Left.

**QUOTE:

The countdown of 10 to 1 at the end of “Four Minutes” in Quadrospirited begins when the father enters this santuary…

spiritedaway01

… and then ends with the fountain bathed in the light of the 4 sacred colors.

spiritedaway02

Then when the parents and their daughter Chihiro leave the sanctuary or station immediately afterwards, they encounter would I would call a direct replica of TILE Mountain in your Herman Park, while Waters starts “The Tide is Turning” song with, “I use to think the world was flat.” In the real world, TILE Mountain is Flat top. (also known as Yards or Yds. Mtn.) In Peewee Big, this message is clarified. We have a reprisal or direct borrowing of the 10-1 countdown in this newer synch, and then the beginning of “The Tide is Turning” song as well. However, in Peewee Big we have a segue into The Beatles’ “Come Together”, where the lyrics start…

“Here come old flattop
He come groovin’ up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball

…as Richard Dreyfuss in Close Encounters realizes that the sculptures he is creating are simulations of Devil’s Tower, Wyoming, a place earmarked for contact between humans and e.t.s in the film. At the very place he breaks the top off his biggest sculpture to make it flat, cementing the association with Devil’s Tower for him, we have Lennon singing the word “flattop” in “Come Together” — flattops obviously, um, coming together (then Dreyfuss grooves up slowly to the revealed sculpture, to add to the synchiness, and he may have joo-joo eyeball as well?). The coming together here means, moreso, humans coming together over contact with extraterrestrial species, but also Dreyfess coming together with a new woman (his wife had just left him), as they head to the real Devil’s Tower to witness the contact up close and personal. You now know that Bill Mountain is a place of contact between humans and aliens, and Bill Mountain is very close to TILE Mountain or Flattop. It is, in fact, the next mountain *down* from TILE. It has less elevation but is more secluded, a more likely place to encounter aliens, in fact. And this is what has happened.

The Trip

snapshot1953_001

“And here is the 2nd temple, Edwardston. This would start in June 2010, or a little before Pietmond that September. The construction of this second, more accurate temple then eventually created the big black hole linking Heterocera and its Pond District with Corsica and its Comma Islands. Bracket will have more information about that soon.”

Edwardston Resident:

I can’t wait!

Baker Bloch:

We thought…

Edwardston Resident:

I thought *I* could create the history of Heterocera, in tandem with Bracket or working with Bracket.

Baker Bloch:

It’s all centered around [Rubi], this place. This is the center. The Pond District is attached to this center. The HEC Canyon is attached to this center. Heterocera’s more recently discovered continental Diagonal is based on this center, most likely.

Edwardston Resident:

How about, what do you call it… the community with the virtual Chelsea Hotel?

Baker Bloch:

VHC Town I’ve been calling it. But let’s call it VHC *City*, because it is considerably larger than our VWX *Town*.

Edwardston R.:

I am excited to be a part of this project. And if I do this, you’ll keep me around in December, and the town.

Baker Bloch:

Maybe. We still might have to move back to Philudoria. But you can write the Heterocera history [based] there.

Edwardston R.:

Maybe. I have my house here, however. I gain inspiration by walking around VWX Town, and the Rubi Woods. And I like the neighborhood as well.

Baker Bloch:

Maybe we should just take a trip to Philudoria and see what you think.

—-

(45 minutes later)

“How about you, Bracket? Edwardston is cool with moving to Philudoria now he sees how close it is to VHC [City].”

Bracket Jupiter:

I can work from anywhere, as long as I have a small base on Corsica. And I do now (Asha and House Greenup), thanks to you. You are trying to make up for past mistakes. You haven’t *quite* made up for them, because I had to die and be reborn, after all. But I will admit now that you are trying. I will keep reading the piecemeal history of the Corsica continent from the Baker Blinker Blog. I’m up to Asha, actually.

Baker Bloch:

I think the house there might be safe for a considerable time. My guess is that the avatars there are themselves privy to an illegal build way up in the sky somewhere. As I said before, I’ve been up about 2000 meters, and didn’t see anything. But since the avatars are obviously in that space (judging by the green dots on the world map), the skybox must be further up, and, importantly, further away from the ground and your house there. I hear you’ve also been talking to Cardboard Derek Jones about House Greenup.

Bracket Jupiter:

Yes, he’s pretty excited about it being set up in the, um, in its most natural spot… beside Greentop. He wants to visit soon as well.

Baker Bloch:

So you think that CD Jones is okay with us moving back to Philudoria, despite not having near the amount of land as before?

Bracket Jupiter (nodding head):

I think so.

Baker Bloch:

How about Carrcassonne? You’ve been talking to her recently as well.

Bracket Jupiter:

Yes, the other day we chatted at her pool. We discussed Corsica in the way that Carrcassonnee can discuss, well, anything. Wholistic she is. She agrees that Corsica is an elephant.

About

For a bit, all the Baker family avatars were spread out from each other, exploring different parts of Second Life. For Baker Bloch, an attaction became some small islands at the eastern edge of Sansara’s Sea of Secundus.

Snapshot1455_001

He notes the similarity between the design of the evil eye he finds there and the croppie beer logo found on the 1st Falmouth collage. This is indeed *awareness*.

Bracket Jupiter, in the meantime, was bumming around his old hangout, the Bracket sim’s Magicland. This was the site of the village he presided over as King of the Stans, with his former castle towering over it to the southwest.

Snapshot1457_007

He inspects an art gallery now found on his old castle’s mountain, and immediately stumbles upon 2 works by a person named Bracken. He understands the synchronicity.

Snapshot1457_011

Snapshot1457_012

Bracket is not pleased how the top of the mountain has been redesigned. He deems it artificial and forced.

Snapshot1457_014

Returning to VWX Town, Bracket confers with Cardboard Derek Jones about the possibility of moving back to Corsica, perhaps Asha. He explains that Baker Bloch is attempting to set up the true House Greenup there. C.D. seems very excited; Bracket Jupiter has become his new BFF.

Snapshot1457_016

Bracket Jupiter inspects the location of a former rival Corsica castle. This would be in Fisher Rigg, talked about some on the old Baker Blinker Blog (LINK). The town has since been basically derezzed. Bracket doesn’t miss it, and tried to destroy it himself several times with his fleet, or so he claims.

Snapshot1457_026

A new city has sprung up close to the old location of Fisher Rigg. Bracket comes away not too impressed. Not even worthy of an invasion, he thinks.

But Asha could be different…

Edwardston Again.

We follow another day in the life of VWX Town citizen Edwardston Resident. He wakes up in the Home o’ Fibs, his claimed residence…

Snapshot1451_002

… and takes a look out the window to see if any major changes have occurred in the town since he went to sleep. None spotted.

Snapshot1451_005

He decides to do some meditation this day before heading out into the virtual world. A little synchronicity here: note that the position of Edwardston’s arms here are almost exactly the same as the ballerina’s he tried to identify so hard with the day before.

Snapshot1451_007

Perhaps thanks to the additional calming influence of the meditation, Edwardston begins to think outside the VWX Town box, taking the perspective of a green crystal shaped skybox on the neighboring property to the west flying the rainbow colored flag.

Snapshot1451_010

Edwardston also makes an identification this morning between the neighbor’s rainbow flag (left center) and the similar rainbow colors of the Temple of TILE’s labyrinth, also glimpsed in the above snapshot (right center). This makes another kind of one-to-one match for Edwardston using this particular perspective I, his user, provide for him once more.

Snapshot1451_011
Edwardston looking toward the neighbor’s low skybox from his back porch. Two rainbows can be glimpsed.

He heads over to the Power Tower Gowlery, remembering that the same labyrinth was also in one of the 1st floor collages (Gila 07: “Temple Dors”).

Snapshot1451_012

In looking at the other collages in the gallery, he notices that the Temple of TILE building is in not one but several, including Gila 05 (“Height and Depth”)…

Snapshot1451_014

… and also Latona 01 (“Exodus”). “Exodus from what?” Edwardston finds himself thinking. “Is this a picture of the fabled Pietmond? Is this the *end* of Piemond?” If Edwardston would have peered a little closer at Latona 01, he might have made out the name New Pietmond on a dark structure just below Spongebob’s pineapple house. So Edwardston kind of got it right: the picture is about the dismantling of Sikkima’s New Pietmond, which existed just south of Rubi’s VWX Town in early 2013. Edwardston hasn’t made that connection yet; that Baker’s lived in this area a number of times with different sets of builds as a result.

Snapshot1451_015

Edwardston moves up to the 3rd floor and the Lis series, taking another look at Lis 09 (“Up into Victory”). He understands this is about resurrection, and correctly associates it with his own recent birth as VWX Town resident.

Snapshot1451_018

Snapshot1451_020

This red haired figure from the following collage (Falmouth 01) is somehow him… reborn in this town in this time. It is both a man and a woman in one, he realizes, staring at it. He even attempts to physically merge with the figure, as he had earlier done with the Confluence ballerina (and Bracket Jupiter had done with The Shining’s Jack). With less success this time — the red haired being was a little too large for the match.

Snapshot1451_021

Edwardston teleports outside VWX Town toward the house with the rainbow flag. His figure smushes together into a ball shape, and he feels he is being rejected and punished for not being able to do as Baker Bloch wished and identify with the town’s central ballerina at the Confluence Place.

Snapshot1451_023

Soon his correct form pops out from the ball again, but he still feels exiled. Dejected, he decides to head away from VWX Town in a southwesterly direction, soon finding another small community in Rosieri. “Could *this* be a new home?” he thinks while wandering its deserted streets. No, it would not be. I don’t think.
