Family Are We?

“I believe you’re looking for me Carrcassonnee. Get up Baker.”

Carr:

What happened to Wilson? Did you kill him?

Wheeler (w/ sarcasm):

Yes I killed him. Get up Baker. That’s my seat from now on. You sit over here. (sarcastically imitating Baker Bloch): Oooh, I’ll bring in Wilson. I’ll show Carrcassonnee. (end of imitation) But it’s always *this* seat. Where he can’t see me well.

Carr.:

I can see you.

Wheeler:

But not well.

Carr. (admitting):

No.

Wheeler:

How about now?

Carr. (seeing clearly):

Who *are* you?

BBloch:

Yeah Wheeler. Tell us about yourself. Here, I’ll get up. I get the hint. You’re taking over, etc. etc.

Wheeler:

I sure am.

(Baker stands and offers his chair to Wheeler)

In a moment bud. I’ll stand too. You stand and I’ll stand. You sit and I’ll sit. That’s the rules from now on. Right Carrcassonnee?

Carr.:

I don’t know. My brain hurts. Need Asprind. Run up to the marketplace Wilson and get me some Asprind.

Wheeler:

Cure for rabies? (she laughs)

BBloch:

I’ll go get them. Be back in a flash. Are you okay here alone with Carrcassonnee Wheeler?

Wheeler:

Why wouldn’t I be? We’re *the same*.

Carr.:

We *ARE*?

We Are Family.

Carr.:

Come on out Wilson. I know you’re in there. Come on.

BBloch:

I’m not Wilson. Anyway, I think you want Wheeler. Wheeler is in Wilson. The Wilson-Wheeler dichotomy. Who came first? What came second? Etc.

Carr. (thoughtful):

You’re not Wilson.

BBloch:

No. I came to ask about the collages. There’s a rumor around town that Spider will be let loose within them again.

Carr.:

Not Wilson?

BBloch:

No again. This happened once before LINK. Remember? (turning to Spider) Remember Spider?

Carr.:

Spider will talk one day but not today. Maybe tomorrow.

BBloch:

Are the rumors true?

Carr.:

Who told you this? Wilson?

BBloch:

Not everything revolves around Wilson, Carrcassonnee. *We’re* here. Baker Blinker, Karoz, Hucka Doobie, myself. We’re permanent. The permanent family members.

Carr.:

Do me a favor Wilson. Make a list of permanent and impermanent residents of this town. My town. I can’t move around well enough to do so. Census, perhaps. Yes, a census. Can you do that? Go to each house. Knock on each door of each house. Make a count. Ask pertinent questions. Report back to me. Go.

BBloch:

Alright I’ll do that later but there’s not many residences in town, actually. A lot of galleries, a number of so called businesses supported by the galleries…

Carr.:

You do this for me, I’ll send Spider into the collages. What specifics do you need from my end for the entrance?

BBloch:

I don’t know. What are your ideas about it? Do you have ideas?

Carr. (roaring):

OF COURSE.

BBloch:

O-KAY. (an obviously irritated Baker Bloch looks around for his blown off hat)

Carr.:

I will not argue with you again.

BBloch:

I-I don’t remember arguing before.

Carr.:

This has happened too often. Bring out Wheeler.

—–

BBloch:

Okay, we’re both here now. Just to confuse you more, hehe. So *there’s* Wheeler. Wilson and Wheeler. Two headed girl boy. (Baker Bloch looks at Wilson)

Carr.:

But…

BBloch:

Hold on hold on. I’m going to do a trick. Hold on to your hat Carrcassonnee! I’m going to revolve you around. Let’s see how this goes. Ready… go.

Carr.:

I didn’t feel much.

BBloch (after seeing it wouldn’t work):

No. The radius is too big. I was going to attempt to merge with Wilson.

Carr.:

That would be catastrophic! NEVER try that again. EVER.

BBloch:

Jesus Christ Carrcassonnee.

Fitz and Butch

Carr.:

I’ll talk to whoever I have to about 12 Oz Mouse, Karoz, and it must be fairly quick. You’ll do. How are you doing by the way? How did your date go?

Karoz:

I was snatched away from it to be here with you. It didn’t go awfully well.

Carr.:

Well… as Baker Blinker recently thought, you are trying so so hard.

Karoz:

Did she?

Carr.:

Yes. My advise is to keep on keeping on. She’ll come around. That Curse Purse… your line.

Karoz:

That Curse Purse.

Carr.:

Yeah. (pause) You’re still up.

Karoz:

Oh. I’ve been meaning to talk to you in more depth about TILE.

Carr.:

Great. Exactly what I wanted to say to you. So we’re in synch again.

Karoz:

Yes.

Carr.:

Yes.

(15 minutes later)

Carr.:

Enough of TILE. Mouse before forget.

Karoz:

We, our user, watched Shark’s party tonight. Eye got his leg cut off by Hand. Pretty gross actually. I don’t think baker b. used that in his synch.

Carr.:

*My* synch.

Karoz:

Right. Forgot.

Carr.:

Skillet is key. It says that on the wall of the party. You better go back and check. Baker b., are you there? It’s more difficult to tell with Karoz. Maybe I should have teleported Baker Blinker over here. She’s such a lovely girl Karoz. You are so luckey. Luckey lucky luckey.

Karoz:

I know.

Carr.:

So are you in there?

Karoz:

Yes. Yes I’m baker b. Looking out at the virtual world again. Looking at you.

Carr.:

Careful about the spilled wine.

—–

The Party must be examined very carefully. Golden Joseph, Skillet is Key… so much there.

Popping

She had a couple of minutes to kill before her date with Karoz, so Baker Blinker decided to dress appropriately for the occasion and pop over to the cardboard house art installation by new neighbor Art Oluja for several pics. The parcel is called “Huh?!” Baker loves it. Who *is* that oh so glowingly positive mystery woman over there?

Art for the art, I suppose. But is it being disposed of? Is this the old art being replaced by the new?

Then Karoz shows up and adds his own unique poetic take to the event before they head off to the Collagesity cafe for their sushi dinner, posing as “The Birth of Venus”.

“He tries so f-ing hard!” a touched Baker thinks. “I must keep saying yes.”

Lockey?

Carr.:

Just us two is fine. You are taking over. You *have* taken over. Invasion of the body snatchers. I know you.

BBloch:

No you don’t.

Carr.:

Yes I do. State your questions sir.

—–

Carr. and ~~Baker Bloch~~ Wilson talked for quite some time. Carr. explained that Baker was going through a different development than before. Karoz and Baker Blinker changed all that. Collagesity became permanent. Yes, I guess that’s maybe true, perhaps not in the sense that My Second Lyfe will always be around but that the virtual town will always be here. In some form… beyond just a collection of galleries. And that’s what they had to talk about: TILE. Carrcassonnee next brought in Karoz and Baker Blinker.

—–

Carr.:

You look simply radiant tonight Other Baker. What do you think Karoz?

Karoz:

Absolutely!

Carr.:

And what about you? Do you feel… radiant? You don’t look radiant.

BBlinker:

He’s working on it. *We’re* working on it.

Carr.:

But it’s absolutely very good that you are working on TILE now Karoz, at least. For that is the important point now. I to E to T to L. Never forget that. But your training won’t allow it. How’s Blue Feather Douglas doing over there in his pyramid at Crabwoo by the by?

Karoz:

Oh I haven’t spoken to him in many years.

Carr.:

Perhaps he’s dead.

Karoz:

No, I would have heard about it. We all would.

Carr.:

And Devil Dave. He’s left the scene, but he could return. He could renew the rivalry for Baker Blinker’s hand. You better think about that.

Karoz:

I have.

Carr.:

Well, I think we need to work on those changes.

—–

So Carr. chastised Karoz a bit for not putting much effort into changing his appearance from standard default grass texture. “Look at John Lockfry 02 over there,” states Carr. “Handsome devil. And now he’s dating Wheeler, luckey girl.” Karoz was thinking something different. Baker Blinker then admits she’s a bit jealous of Wheeler. “But not like Dr. Mulholland before her,” responds Carr. “You had quite the rivalry. But not for Karoz.” “No,” she admits. “Just…” “Just what?” Carr. queries. “She stole my purse!” Baker exclaims. “No,” replies Carr. “*There’s* your purse. You see, you didn’t lose it at all. Dr. Mulholland has — *had* — a different purse, two different purses in fact. Wheeler also has two now. But there’s your one white one, spinning around like a rotisserie chicken. You better figure that out.” “Curse purse,” Karoz then says.

—–

It’s Baker Blinker that holds it all together. Collagesity goes as she goes. She and Karoz.

Bumm’n Around

My new artsy neighbor Art is cooking up something on her property next to Collagesity. I’ll get back to that…

Baker’s still pondering what to do with his empty parcel on the opposite side of town, the Friends of the Rubi Forest one. Interesting balance.

Then it’s over to BoB again to pose with a mental patient. Halloween isn’t far away! I love that holiday.

BoB’s Crescent House is officially outta here, replaced with this similarly sized rectangular structure. The involved parcel has been bought. So much for Collagesity in BoB, it seems.

Baker was hopping around land parcels for sale through Lama Estates (as he sometimes does) and logs out right after encountering this blue cube in Varano on the Nautilus continent which appears very much like the one in Lynch’s Mulholland Drive movie. To reinforce its presence, when I log him back in the next time, the cube looms before Baker as he manifests. This *must* mean something, he rationalizes.

It’s actually more of a box than a cube, but Baker couldn’t originally tell this from his position below it.

I aid him by digging up online pics of the Mulholland Drive cube. The similarity is obvious. What was found inside? More BoB stuff, but the parcel was banned.

As Baker is looking at it again for the purposes of writing this text, it appears the doubling of the Mulholland Dr. cube’s keyhole is completely accidental, involving a projection of the back of a slightly off-angle tv screen within. I think this fact may be odder than if someone did the effect on purpose. Just look at the similarity! SIGN. You can check the thing out here if you wish (look east).

Back to BoB for this picture of Baker Bloch posing between two blue women figures. But of course this could be Wilson again instead. And in reality, it is.

World of Lime? 01

(excerpt)

I could hardly believe it. We would need a road map to figure it all out. It could be said to begin with the letter to Liquor. Rhoda says that Liquor says Mouse is up to his cans. Now here’s the trick. Liquor got the wrong letter. This Mosquitor penned piece of paper, which also has something to do with Quito *and* *mos*quito LINK, was suppose to be delivered to Roostre. But Roostre, in turn, couldn’t open his letter he mistakenly received that was Liquor’s. Instead he’s [time] GAssed by this kooky (cuckoo?) clock.** Carr. then says this is the same clock that is in *our* Rhoda’s bar now. Let me insert a picture.

Oh, I forgot. It’s not there any longer.

Missing Clock.

But anyway, We The Family noticed quite some time ago that this clock actually *moves* on its own volition. We understood this because it started projecting from the back wall of the bar on the outside, and when Baker Bloch would push it back through to the inside wall, it would simply work its way out again. True story. Finally Other Baker got tired of messing with the obviously cursed thing and deleted it. But [12 Oz Mouse character] Clock is *real*. In *Collagesity*.

So that’s one element. Carr. is stating that “12 Oz Mouse” is not dead and that it will live on through her.

Rather early on in the short lived “Mouse”, bartender Rhoda is killed — telepathically sliced in two — by Square Businessman, also just referred to as Square. This comes shortly after Rhoda talks about Liquor’s letter and some other things he’s obviously not suppose to. Now our Rhoda was similarly killed, as documented in the “Baker’s Dream” section of “Collagesity Winter 2015-2016” (and there’s a picture of the now deleted cuckoo clock, three down). But [12 Oz Mouse’s] Rhoda’s death is foreshadowed by a hallucination (?) shared between him, Fitz, Skillet and Man-Woman. This is repeated in Carrcass-1, accompanied there instead by the music of Slint and the track “Rhoda” — no relation to 12 Oz Mouse’s Rhoda. But there’s another strange attractor[ involved]. And “Rhoda” is the only one (of 7 total) Slint songs used in Carrcass-1 not from their fantastic album Spiderland. And that’s Spider again… Spider is another character in “12 Oz Mouse”, and, as Carr. states, has been remodeled as a dog for Collagesity and kind of merged with Skillet, I suppose. So the [central] Fitz/Skillet duo of “Mouse” has been reshaped as the Carr/Spider duo of Collagesity. Getting confused yet? Phew!

But I must plug on… Equador is then mentioned indirectly by Rhoda before his death when he describes or attempts to describe the relationship between New Guy and Skillet. He says that New Guy is not as much cheesy green up on squirrels (Skillet’s species, as verified by Mouse), but more like Ecuadorian sleep. I have no idea what that means, so let me google it. This is indeed important.

https://www.google.com/#q=%22ecuadorian+sleep%22

I have no idea still. And a kind of creepy thing is that this blog post will now show up in the hits for the phrase. If future people do the same google search, they’ll be confounded by the same riddle, add this post.

Ecuador… Quito. Ecuador commonly misspelled as Equador, with a “Q” like “Quito”.

Next door is Columbia and its Bogota. We have jumped up a level. Wheeler.

Morning Meeting

Baker Bloch sips his morning beer and contemplates further changes for Collagesity. The focus *must* be on that Friends of the Rubi Woods parcel, he believes, the 512 that will remain when all else goes away. That is the foundation, he rationalizes.

But right now, all that’s on it is a still almost empty Home o’ Fibs partnered with a quite premature Christmas tree. Yes, gift giving has come early this year, Baker understands. Wilson-Wheeler.

He heads over to Carrcassonne for a prearranged meeting. Baker Blinker is already there.

Carr.:

Other Baker! Come join us. Baker Blinker and I were talking about changes. Ch-ch-ch-changes. David Bowie will return. What was his pseudonym again?

BBloch:

Bogota. Like the projected collage series.

Carr.:

Yes, I remember now. Bodega.

BBloch:

No. *Bogota*. Like the capital of, um, Ecuador? No, sorry, ~~Bolivia~~ Columbia. [The smaller] Ecuador and its Quito are next door.

Carr.:

That is precisely what I want to talk about with you guys tonight. I hear you are watching “12 Oz Mouse” again up in the real world. The oh so cool real world. Should that be capitalized?

BBlinker:

Well, we’ve had our time to chat so I might leave you and Baker to talk about that.

Carr.:

No no, Baker Blinker. I want to speak with both of you. This involves both of you. “12 Oz Mouse” is very important. And not just because I was the *star* of the show, mind you. (Carr. laughs here)

BBloch (smiling):

You were very good in it.

Carr.:

Good? I was spectacular. My finest role. Perhaps by a good margin. Whadda ya say we go up to the theatre and watch some episodes. Oh, I guess that would spoil it for the user, however, the one that types these things we speak of and orchestrates what we do. Are you up there baker b.?

(All look heavenward. No answer.)

BBlinker:

You say that Karoz is also involved in that.

Carr.:

He is my double in the show. As I’m sure you’re sick of hearing me say, I play Fitz the Mouse, the star. But in *certain* ways, Karoz is also Fitz. And then in other ways, *both* you guys are Fitz. And Spider over here is Skillet, who is a squirrel and not a dog, as Rhoda ponders, or a rabbit, as Roostre guesses. Both are wrong.

(The Bakers exchange glances with each other, like, “here we go again”.)

BBloch (finally sitting down):

Okay, Carrcassonnee. We’ll bite. What’s going on with “12 Oz Mouse”?

My collages in other people’s spaces

First off, I have a new and artsy neighbor in Collagesity: Art Oluja. I halfway suspect this may be another incarnation of my old friend Veyot, who was a neighbor and actually integral part of Collagesity/VWX Town in 2 other locations in past years. But whatever: welcome! I’m very excited to see what develops on the 624 sq meter parcel in the coming days and months. And she’s added Collagesity as one of her picks.:)

Newer friend Pearl Grey then sent me an inworld notecard giving locations and brief descriptions to some places virtual renditions of my collages are being displayed in Second Life. Many thanks again Pearl! A very nice gesture indeed.

The first (Boos 10: “The Martian”) is found on a back wall at Sojourner’s Ground on the Maebaleia continent. It’s owned by Klaus Bereznyak, who’s been around since 2007. An old virtual soul, then; here’s his homepage.

The final collage of the 2007 Oblong series (“Lymeyen”) is then displayed in a parcel under construction called A Little Piece of Art owned by, well, it’s owned by my new neighbor Art (!). The plot thickens…

I really like the idea of a “judgmental alien”. I can identify!

This is found on the oldest continent of Sansara, by the way.

Next up is a somewhat larger parcel called Art and Weird Words, with a quite creative treehouse display of Rose Hill 06: it’s sideways! But I think it works in this environment. I forget to have Baker Bloch sit in front of it for the picture. Oh well.

The owner here is — yes, Art Oluja again. Next door is Saul’s Place Cafe, with a display of Saul Goodie’s very interesting abstract art pieces. Whether chance or not, this is also quite near Soujourner’s Grounds. Just down Route 8B. Is this the start of some kind of art city along this route? Only a couple parcels of abandoned land separate the two. And I should also add this: “Art and Weird Words” is found in a sim called *Wyrd*. Wyrd is a type of portmanteau of “weird” and “word”. Interesting!

And then as I kept poking around, I found Rose Hill 07, the next one up in the series, displayed in the other treehouse on the Art and Weird Words parcel (or should that be Art and Wierd Words?). Hmmm… interesting again. Actually, as I’m remembering now, Pearl mentions in her notecard that both treehouses contain collages. I still recall creating both of these works late into the night back in 2005. They’re based on some similar motifs. Kinda scary stuff — darker than most of my works.

Here’s the involved treehouses and a connecting bridge.

Treehouses and Saul’s Cafe.

The last link in Pearl’s notecard took me to her own residence in Rosieri, not far atall from Collagesity, being only about 500 meters away. I had a old friend named Cocoanut Koala who use to own a considerable chunk of that sim. I mention some of her intricate and detail oriented work in this 2014 blog post.

I was very pleased to find a piece by Earl Dinkin within. Now I’m not friends with Earl, but he has numerous galleries all over the mainland continents I’ve run into, by accident or not, again and again. A bit more of his very cryptic story here. He’s another old virtual soul.

And then me as Baker Bloch in Pearl’s living room before yet another one of my Rose Hill collages (Rose Hill 03: “Just Passing Through”). Another Baker Bloch shows up as I take this picture. Or is that Wilson again?

If so, then who’s on the porch offering watermelon to all?
