‘Bout made a decision…

I believe I’ll keep Collagesity into September at least. Too nifty of a creation to let go of just yet.

I’ve *really* been focusing on the evolution of sunklands.com. Check it out if you haven’t already.

Strangest page so far, and directly related to Collagesity’s Carrcassonnee:

http://www.sunklands.com/fable

Still don’t know exactly what it means.

Much excitement here, like the creation of a separate blog called “6 Weeks of Shining” based on F&HE! Dec/Jan. posts.

http://www.sunklands.com/6-weeks-of-shining

And I’m working on shaping up the text for Paradox II, a project long in coming.

I’m also developing a page on the virtual villages I’ve created and then lived in for going on 4 years now, starting with original Pietmond and extending through present Collagesity.

Stay tuned!

Found again.

Of all people, it was Starbuccaneer Barista that found Spider. Ridiculously clever, she had lured him out of a Whitehead Crossing related collage in the Fal Mouth Moon with a bowl of dog food.

“Uhmmmm, yes: eat it up my precious Spider dog,” the resurrected Star said slyly. For she knew that a position of power would soon be in store for her because of this. She must speak to Baker Blinker asap; tell her of what she saw in the corridor. Share notes.

—–

“So that’s where I come from,” said Queen Alma I from the future, peering in again. “A merger of Starbuccaneer Barista and Baker Blinker.”

“And Carrcassonnee,” Hucka Doobie added. “She was strong at the time, having just absorbed the 11th. Tasted like chicken again to her.” He smiled ~~slyly~~ slightly.

“But little Spider would go back into the collages to be lost again. And again. And yet again and again.”

“And again!” Hucka Doobie added again. “You see, he was mistakenly rewarded for entering the collages. Dog food, sticks, squeeze dolls. All these lured him out but also kept him going back, knowing the endpoint.”

“How did it end?” the Queen asked. “Is he still in the collages even now?”

“Yes,” came Hucka Doobie’s answer. “He eventually became All Collages.”

Cardboard Derek Jones suddenly slid his way into the room through the seams of the closed door. “My Majesty. And… um, sire. The dog has reappeared again!”

“What synchronicity!” Hucka Doobie exclaimed.

“Too much so I would say,” says a more cautious Queen Alma I, reading out of a red book that had appeared in her hands. “I’m checked the script now. Spider has learned how to traverse time.”

“Then we’re all in big, big trouble,” returned a suddenly worried Hucka. “Big big trouble.”

Cardboard Derek Jones slides quickly toward them, holding forth a picture, which turns out to be an animation as the Queen and Hucka jointly stare in disbelieve. In it, Baker Bloch and Master Shake also jointly stare in disbelieve as a giant dog turns into a horse before their very eyes.

“That’s it,” Hucka Doobie says in finality, seeing Spider being fed/rewarded from “within”. “We’ve got to speak to Story Room about the 11th.”

Blathering

“This idiot Oh you speak of, the snarling Jim Carrey with the waterfall pouring up from his hand, he must be the culprit. In the next picture down — whatever — we see this same waterfall raining down on the dingo. The dingo is Carrey is Oh.”

Cardboard Derek Jones:

Yes ma’am.

Queen Blinker:

Oh has come up several times for baker b. recently. He does not recall the waterfall’s true origin. Typical. Typical of Baker Bloch, I mean.

CDJ:

I’m surprised you could contact Master Baker since the White Tower could not be completed today, connecting Collagesity with Virtual Heaven. Baker b. is always in the Sky Box, it seems, tinkering with stuff. You have a clear view there, and he can’t hide inside his many groundside buildings.

Queen Blinker:

I found him anyway.

Hucka Doobie (entering from the left):

Ice cream anyone?

—–

Hucka Doobie (to Queen):

You’ll just have to wait until he emerges in one of the other collages.

Queen:

In this Facebook, Baker B. claims to have met several people recently who had independent contact with Oh.

CDJ:

Oh? (then, blushing): Sorry.

Hucka Doobie:

I have read the transcripts. I know what happens next.

Queen:

We must go find Oh.

Hucka Doobie:

Not recommended, ma’am. That’s what I was suppose to say there. Your turn.

Queen:

Refried beans?

Hucka Doobie:

Exactly.

—–

“It was Makemake’s ice cream parlor out on highway 17. His father gave him away.”

Hucka Doobie:

Interesting that Space Ghost comes back into the picture. But I knew he would. Queen… do you remember when you were Sapphire? *Were* you Sapphire?

Queen Blinker:

I recall some kind of perch, but not the fish.

Hucka Doobie:

You were wearing blue. But that goes without saying. Do you remember your precious, little Aquamarine turned rebellious Aqua Teen?

Queen Blinker (facial expressions slightly changing):

You mean Prince Karoz?

Hucka Doobie:

Ummmm… yes.

Queen:

The Prince will not be spoken of again for 3 days. Then I will tell you what became of him. He had his circle and he could not go out of it.

Hucka Doobie:

He has to come back[ you know].

Queen:

Mum.

—–

bb:

So is Queen Blinker Sapphire? Or is it Baker Blinker in the future? I asked her through Baker Bloch what was going on and she didn’t have a clue. The coronation, if it is a true event and not another lie — or maybe it’s one of those truth lies…

Hucka D.:

The manifestation point has not been reached. Yet things are happening all around us. Yes, there was an attempt to rebuild the White Tower today. We have photographic evidence that Spider has indeed disappeared inside the Yale collage series, and that this mysterious Oh is involved. I have spoken with the Queen directly, even. I went into the future just for this purpose. She suggests I go to Meddletown again. Or Middletown… whatever.

bb:

Will you become 1Pink again?

Hucka D.:

I’m afraid it is destiny; in the script.

Spider gets lost (again!)

“Your Majesty, the dog Spider has disappeared into the “Art 10×10″. I’m afraid he’s lost for now.”

Queen Blinker:

Just as I planned, he he. Seriously, show me the involved collages. How many were there? What was the initial work? We need to post people on all floors of the Power Tower, Fal Mouth Moon, and Toxic Art for signs of the poor pooch. But he did volunteer, after all.

Cardboard Derek Jones:

Yes ma’am. I have taken pictures of the progression. He first attempted to make contact with the wise old fox, who turned her back on him. Then he tried the dingo in the next picture down… the previous picture, I mean, in the Art 10×10 progression. Sorry, ma’am.

Queen:

That’s all right. This was in the Newton series?

CDJ (checking notes):

Yale, ma’am.

Queen:

Show me the progression you speak of. Reverse progression, I suppose.

CDJ:

Yale ma’am. I mean, yes ma’am.

—–

CDJ:

And by that last collage, he had disappeared into relatively total abstraction. We believe the dingo, being not as wise as the fox, let’s say, led him into danger. He disappeared inside the water.

Queen:

Interesting. What is that body of water? We might have to go to the Real World and retrieve him there. Is that the River Key?

CDJ (checking notes again):

Give me just a minute ma’am. (pause) I do not have notes of the location.

Queen:

Then we must contact baker b. in the real world and ask him. He’s the one who made the collage, after all.

CDJ:

Yes ma’am. (then, reconsidering): What ma’am?

Becoming

bb:

So you wish to instead speak of 1Pink. Parts 1, 2 and 3?

Hucka D.:

Yes. I wish to become Jello Jack. Gelatin?

bb:

How are you going to do that?

Hucka D.:

The same way I do anything. Pretend. Then it is.

bb:

Why don’t we just talk of Carrcass-11, then, the newest one.

Hucka D.:

Do we have clearance from Queen Blinker? Alma I?

bb:

I’m not sure.

Hucka D.:

Bar.

—–

“Let’s get back to SID.”

—–

Queen Blinker:

I am in control now. Benevolent monarch, just as you expected. Former mayor Baker Bloch will be my primary counsel. Cardboard Derek Jones will put voice to the concerns of neglected Westside. Southside will remain a mystery for now.

bb:

Queen Blinker, thank you for appearing earlier than your actual coronation in this blog.

Queen Blinker:

You are welcome, baker b. You are me.

bb:

Yes. And Baker Bloch. The “B” word I can’t say. Why does all this have to do with 12 Oz Mouse?

Queen:

12 Oz Mouse is you from the future.

bb:

What is the mystery of 2130?

Queen:

It is a series or layers of mysteries. Baker Bloch and I have already gone into the mystery corridor at the Top o’ Confluence. We have seen the end but also the beginning. I instruct through that knowledge.

bb:

And your title — Alma I. Where did that come from?

Queen:

The good townspeople of Collagesity, headed by Baker Bloch, appointed the name. It came with the realization that Collagesity stands in for the capital of Jeogeot herself. Now. The Confluence Place will be reconfigured as my Confluence Palace. I will stand in the corridor. Sit, actually. We need a throne still.

bb:

Are you Carrcassonnee?

Queen:

That is a good question. I am.

bb:

You…

Queen:

I have appointed several committees to review projects. A new SID’s 1st Oz interview is on the list. An in-depth analysis of Tronesis and Peter SoSo Gabriel’s role in it as well. Big E, obviously. Kidd Tower. We will send the dog ~~Diamond~~ Spider into the Fal Mouth Moon collages for information and energy. Southside will be sealed up. X-Spot will eventually shift from general to personal. And, very important, I’ve commissioned work to begin again on the White Tower, leading from Collagesity to Virtual Heaven. It will not be a Tower of Babble.

bb:

What’s at the top?

Queen:

Wormhole. To Whitehead Crossing.

bb:

Interesting. How does that work?

Queen:

Create a tube long enough and everyone will want to crawl through it (smiles).

bb:

What of Story Room? Will Carrcass-11 be open source?

Queen:

Yes. Or no.

bb:

Are you consulting with Story Room as well?

Queen:

Spider will find out more.

“Just checking in”

Hucka D.:

Baker Blinker will become the Queen of Jeogeot, Alma I as the townspeople will title her. What will Baker Bloch’s reaction be? Can they eventually rule as King and Queen?

bb:

It’s an interesting idea, and, I think you would like to add, an inevitable conclusion of the Jeogeot equals SID equals Wazob concept. Collagesity can stay alive as the result.

Hucka D.:

Projects will be sorted. A SID’s 1st Oz interview is in store. You will interview *me*. How about that? But we’ve already spoken about the possibility.

bb:

Yes. I believe we must warm to the project. How do you wish to attack SID’s 1st Oz this time, as opposed to other times by other[ spirits]?

Hucka D.:

Booker and baker? Baker is you. Booker is you? I am Hucka D.

bb:

You’re saying you are a real[ spirit] and the others are fake or faker?

Hucka D.:

Yes. I am the Bee at the center of SID. I cause the mobius triangle that trips Jack Pumpkinhead, sparking the synchronicity itself. Where is the grounding 4th? It must be the wound up Tik Tok. Tik Tok is me as well in the movie — the Bee of the film. To ground me is to ground the new SID’s 1st Oz interview.

Hucka D.:

I am becoming 1Pink.

Quick notes…

Carrcass-11 might be mapped out already. I still have to tape and fine tune, but I should have a fixed work by next week. Excitement yet again (hurrah!). Unfortunately I can’t talk about it much in this blog. I will go so far as to say it represents a primary mesh between two related movies, add in two secondary video sources.

Perhaps on a somewhat related note, Giant C or Giant Carrcassonnee has been removed from Collagesity to free up prims, but may return now that I have a considerable cushion in that area thanks mainly to the replacement of House of True Lies with a 2 prim slum building. It’s a good looking product, and, anyhow (I must ask myself), how much would I go into the House of True Lies for anything? At current time I have about 260 prims to work with in Collagesity proper. Many more are added through my Southside property, but since I plan to sell that in about 2-3 weeks I’m not going to count those prims.

I forgot to mention that I also bought the Arrowtown property this week and lumped it in with the rest of Southside.

The X-Spot/Middletown developments remains on hold as I complete C-11. Giant Carrcassonnee, I feel, will return to the collage village, at least at times. I need her wise, oracle-type advise on matters such as Middletown, Jeogeot, C-11, and beyond.

Notes

A Carrcass-11 appears to have begun. Excitement! A strange one… but all seem strange at the beginning. It will evolve. But it will also take energy from Second Life development now.

For that reason and others (prim limits comes to mind) I might simply table the Jeogeot Through Art and Word exhibit and fill the X-Spot Gallery just with collages. The art of Andy Burgess and his crazy quilt cityscapes might be a good choice, and seems to mesh with the idea of Collagesity as a large montage in and of itself. I had Baker Bloch fly around the old area of Middletown yesterday and some interesting things perhaps remain but most is now vacant land. I’m not sure an archelogical dig into that region will be successful in uncovering significant stories about its past. But I’ll keep trying. So I think I’ve about decided that JTA&W will have to go, and I won’t enlarge it instead.

I’ve positioned several one prim buildings on a parcel next to Southside that remains vacant. I’ve im-ed the owner and stated that if he wants to remove them it’s fine with me, and I just erected them as transient eyecandy. I even have a name for the small neighborhood: Arrowtown. The bow of the statue Diana aims an arrow directly into its heart, with 3 lone, snoozing residents — friends, as it were — as focused-in targets.

Overall town goverment remains vaguer. I don’t think Westend’s Confluence Place will be demolished now, as I found out I can cut its prim numbers almost in half. But Westend as a whole has little personality, and contains no galleries as such. The planned Stairs Gallery No. 2 at the end of the main path cutting through the suburb remains empty, as does the town hall. As does the Confluence Place mainly, subtract the several jungle animals positioned on the bottom level just in front of its large, square waterfall. Oh, and the small dog named Spider still standing and spouting out permutations of the number 2130 in his recess on the top floor. The House of True Lies appears to remain a place where townspeople resurrect when they die, but I’m not totally sure. What direction is Westend headed, if any?

I always want to have about a spare 200-220 prims to work with when I reduce back to just Collagesity and Westend. Yes, I’ll have to “give up” Southend in about a month, although the possibility remains that I can turn over the land to a rental agency like Lama Estates. But even if so, Southend’s prims will be separate from the land I own, so I’m going to have to reduce anyway. Unless I shift my sky sandbox over to Southend — I have plenty of prims left to work on that parcel presently.
