Put the great majority of my mainland holdings up for sale last week, but no buyers before the tier payment came around today. But it’s no big money burden. Maybe more Collagesity mythology will be generated now.

Synching
“I am Peter. I am The Rock. Olive. Peter. Olive.”
BB:
Thank you Carrcassonnee. We’re still plowing through Fringe, as you probably know. Up to season 4 now. The LSD episode and its red door has past.
Carr.:
We just have wrap up now. Timelines established.
BB:
The interview with Karl went well. You might also have noticed I am capitalized now. Baker B., not baker b. That’s because of the interview. Cool, eh?
Carr.:
Coolie. Cooler. Hot. Too hot.
BB:
Yeah, it’s been hot lately.
Carr.:
Cool down. Latte. Late.
BB:
Zeppelins might be a clue to ressurrect Led Zeppelin in a synch, Carrcassonnee. Or maybe Pretty Things.
Carr.:
I was dead. Yet unborn. Reborn. I am live. On the air!
BB:
Do you want to be a radio station, Carrcassonnee?
Carr.:
I want to be tv dead. Yes!
BB:
What do you think of Collagesity Heights? Your Heights after all. You rule them, right?
Carr.:
I rule them right, yes. Upper. Downer. (pause)
BB:
Where’s Hucka D. tonight?
Carr.:
Reigning in Spain. I Carrcassonnee.
BB:
What now for Collagesity? Oh, what of the Blue Mountain Urban Landscape? That seems to be a new creative focus. *Oh*, and the *move* went well, Carrcassonnee (!) I’m somewhat established on the [delete floor].
Carr.:
I haard. Do not forget the past in absorbing the present. The past will last.
BB:
Couple more questions, Carrcassonnee. My interview is coming up now, since Karl’s is done. What do I talk about? I mean, how do I discuss, well, *you*. And your synchs, for example. Or Pierre Schaeffer’s synchs coming before yours.
Carr.:
Be Honest. Honest Karl. Honest Baker B. Tune in. One then the other. Too follows Won.

Collagesity Heights 01
Groundside, Collagesity is emptying a bit as things moves heavenward. Collagesity Heights is born.
We start with The Square, which may soon become Square 1 of a 2 square system in theses heights. One in the southeast corner of Collagesity Heights, and one in the northwest corner. About as far apart as you can get in this skybox. Included in Square 01, then, is The Church of the Red Doors and Town Hall, along with the main entrance to the central structure of Collagesity Heights called simply The Gallery for now. In it are now 80 of the 100 Art 10×10 collages, as well as those within the World of Collages exhibit. Just last week, this art was instead found in newly rezzed groundside galleries immediately below Collagesity Heights (Gallery Jack and World of Collages respectively).
Another structure that has joined Collagesity Heights and its Square 01 is the Kidd Tower (right), which was literally pulled up several stories from the ground during this inclusion phase. It makes more sense now: you enter the tower at the main floor containing several Simple Wunderlich pictures from crucial Korean Channel sims. I’d like to talk more about the Kidd Tower soon, and its lasting worth to our reborn community.
On the other side of The Gallery lies The Garden. Baker Bloch sits on View Rock here, acting as a wonderful perch to look out over the Great Rubi Forest. Super!
Also moving up from the ground is The Theatre, still being worked on. You can reach The Theatre directly from the back of The Gallery. The Theatre is also a building surrounding Square 02, along with the Crooked Tower (left) and probably also the Sink Lair Gallery (not pictured).
As there are as yet no working bathrooms in CH, Baker Bloch has to teleport down to the ground to properly relieve himself…
… but he was soon back, checking out the theatre and further brainstorming about a perpetual Uncle Meatwad showing. “Keep on smiling,” hehe.
Collagesity Heights from the northeast, The Gallery being the dominating central building.

No Trouble
Carr.:
You are troubled today.
Baker B.:
Nah, just tired. I always seem a little tired. Edna and I have never been high energy people, however.
Carr.:
Ne meither.
Baker B.:
I’ll probably read about Rubi’s VWX Town tonight.
Carr.:
Good to know. Weekend coming up . Whattaya got planneded?
Baker B.:
Nothing. Low energy weekend. Sitting around. Probably need to fix the new computer. Probably need to fix the furnace. Probably need to work on the gutters. Probably need to do a lot of stuff.
Carr.:
Sounds like a planned.
Baker B.:
How about you?
Carr.:
Deity Conference… the usual.
Baker B.:
Oh. Where?
Carr.:
Over in Kerchal’s place. Olive and Orange will be there. Whattaya call them? Err and Monique.
Baker B.:
Unsure. The Plutonians?
Carr. (seeming to count):
Uranus, Neptune, Pluto… A, B, C. 1, 2, 3. (pause) Yes, Pluto.
Baker B.:
Have you seen the new flyby pictures of Pluto, Carr.?
Carr.:
Yes. Me.
Baker B.:
Meaning it is a picture of you.
Carr.:
Yes. Me in Two. Me Too. Charon and Pluto. Me and Me Too. Pluto and Moon.
Baker B.:
Who could have guessed The Residents would be at the end of the solar system?

Latest Collagesity Dev.
Wappo Jack disappeared from behind the arch of his castle recently. But I’m betting on a quick return.
I played around with inserting the Temple of TILE with its walkable labyrinth beside and actually partially penetrating Wappo’s castle. But I decided it was too crowded in that area as a result, with too many prims used. I didn’t take pictures of the aborted effort.
Wappo Jack peers into another structure I briefly played around with — an upward extention of the Red Flower Theatre.
This is another addition I messed with, presently deleted but rezzed again just last night. It’s an edited doubling of Moard Ling’s House 14, a large structure that sits directly atop the flat part of the new skywalk. I could fit a lot of art into that potential gallery. We’ll see what I can do with it.
At present I have well over 500 prims to experiment with on the property. Super! That’s the reason for the newest wave of building.

UM
“Carr., last night yet another Uncle Meatwad resonance surfaced in Fringe — and the wife and I were thinking about it at the same time (!).”
Carr.:
Yes I heard. Do not do another interview unless Uncle Meatwad is out there for others to view. Your choice. Karl is playing it cautious. Understandable. Either keep it to yourself for now or allow “out there” for others to view as a whole. Don’t just put the pressure on[ delete name].
bb:
Yes, I think I’ll tell Karl that tonight. But you see how…
Carr.:
But you see how important it is to get UM out there. It should live. It is the last of the positive carrcasses and also the first of the negative carrcasses. It is both. It is neither. Last… first. I am Olive.
bb:
And you still love Peter.
Carr.:
Yes.

The oval or *olive* shaped theatre might be the only Collagesity building totally enclosed within the new skywalk from an overhead view. And it’s brown, matching the color of the skywalk’s connectors. But the theatre from this view might also be said to just touch it (“kiss” it) to the northeast. The Path of the Red Flower has now been closed off by the back of the theatre. The structure, still unnamed (the Meat Dome?), likewise touches the World of Collages building to the northwest, and also comes within 2 or 3 feet of the Sink Lair, again to the northeast.
Actually as I’m looking inside, I’m reminded that one set of stairs from the former path still lies directly against the north wall of the theatre, with a red flower at the top and another one near its bottom, at the back door…
… and then another one is found right at the front door as well.
Looks like this might be, then, The Theatre of The Red Flower, or probably Red Flower Theatre or just The Red Flower.
The complementary walk to the Red Flower on the south side of Central Stream has likewise been decommissioned through placement of new structures Gallery Jack and Wappo Jack’s Castle there. This would be the former Red Shroom Trail.
Tough but necessary losses both.

3:30AM update:
Been playing around with programs that convert VOB files to MPGs. I’m pretty sure I can create a viewable MPG of Uncle Meatwad to play as a dropbox link, which means it probably will also play on a prim in Second Life. I believe I’m not even going to try to upload the resulting MPG to Vimeo or especially Youtube because of the involved copyright violations. It is a time capsule. But I’ll still allow people to view it through this blog I think — and in Second Life. The Red Flower Theatre is about to, UM, flower(!).
Then I want to do a detailed analysis of UM, just like I create for my collages.
Also I have to get my new computer hooked up again. Been using my older Dell formerly in the basement for about a week and a 1/2 now because the new one wouldn’t boot up correctly. We’ll try out some possible solutions in the next several days. Else I’ll have to take it in to the campus computer lab to let them look at it.

Theatre
If it’s going to be a theatre it might as well be a theatre. This seems to work.
Now I’ve just got to figure out how to pacify the all-powerful town deity Carrcassonnee and show Uncle Meatwad there.
