“Hucka D., I was going to talk to the revived Carrcassonnee in this here blog but she doesn’t seem to be ready.”

Hucka D.:

I’m not either. You better talk to her. Or else.

Carrcassonnee:

Hi Baker Bloch. As you can see I’ve grown larger. Nice to have Jeogeot Through Art and Word back in my sim. My sim. How are you doing tonight? How’s work?

bb:

Work’s getting better, I suppose. I wish I could just give back the pressure. But it’s good for me overall. Pressure is mainly good now. If I can keep from getting swirled into other people’s emotional turmoils. That’s my problem. I operate on resonance. Right now the resonance is abnormal for the most part.

Carrcassonnee:

Be aware that it might not change[ much]. I heard you found an Island. The Island.

bb:

Do you know about this island?

Carrcassonnee:

Some. I know that toy avatars are from there. It is a tale wagging the dog scene[ again]. Do you wish photos?

bb:

Sure Carrcassonnee.

Carrcassonnee:

I will provide some soon[ then]. How is your mother?

bb:

She’s doing okay I suppose. Must call her tomorrow morning. Wait… you’re talking to me, bb, instead of me, Baker Bloch.

Carrcassonnee:

Yes. Am I not allowed to do that[ now]?

bb:

No, that’s fine.

Carrcassonnee:

So we get to the subject of who I am. Who I *really* am.

bb:

You are Jeogeot herself.

Carrcassonnee:

Yes.

bb:

You are All Carrcasses.

Carrcassonnee:

Right. Another one of me is coming up soon. That’s one thing I needed to tell you. Work on me. It looms large.

bb (“reading” map):

A little carr. Spider. To navigate the narrow streets of Bath. Drive/Steer a Littcarr. Then something about Reddfoxx and racial issues. White… black. Take a Gander, I suppose.

Carrcassonnee:

Yes, I am England[ as well]. You must go back to The Island.

Seems like for the past several days, things I’ve designed for Collagesity have been rather quickly removed: Giant Carrcassonnee; White Tower. The underground remains intact, and I like that effect quite a lot. But frankly what I’m waiting for is the potential development of a *Southside*. But does Collagesity really need a Southside? — that’s a question I must be asking side by side with seeing this potential.

Traditionally about 2 months into ownership of even a larger tract of Second Life land, my interest in it begins to wane. Better — I use the generated energy and *shift* it into other interests. I’m doing my best not to let that happen this time.

What could the shift be this go around? Well, another carrcass is on the horizon — I certainly know some of the components. I haven’t started it, but the gear up could begin today, even. That’s how those things work.

Full bore GNIRPS research is another possibility, but perhaps more remote. 2 months into Rubi’s VWX Town, I shifted toward a heavy duty Shining obsession, generating a potentially separate work from the blog called “6 5 Weeks of Shining.” in late December and January.

And then there’s always collages. 🙂 The Shining research itself shifted over to intense collage generating in early February, a momentum that carried, to my great surprise, though April.

Then there’s the Great Outdoors. Well, Frank and Herman Parks to be specific. Check the title of this blog — everything is suppose to revolve around those parks — carrcasses, virtual village stories, collages — everything. And this year another big step forward was taken, I feel, through the creation of a good number of collages *based on photos taken of these parks.* Again we can be pretty specific about a location: Whitehead Crossing in Frank Park. But this impetus finally petered out in May as the heat, gnats, weeds increased. My woods photos mainly come from the spring and fall, or about March-May and then September-November.

This blog was suppose to focus on those parks and not Second Life, unlike my former Baker Blinker Blog (2008-2012). Yet it’s turning out to be a pretty direct continuation of that older blog.

… that Devizes has become another sister sity to Collagesity, along with Stonethwaite. Devizes is a much larger burg than either of the latter two, however. Is it still a true appelation?”

Hucka D.:

Yes. Good. Obviously Adam Westend has something to do with all this. You have found a Devizes painter and writer who may be the same as this Westend. Probably not, but we must check out all the corners. Fal Mouth Moon is a castle. Devizes has a castle, but a smaller faux version of a truer castle in the past. Baker Bloch uses the batgun to open up a portal between Collagesity and Devizes [in this Collagesity castle]. Adam Westend — “Batman” — comes through. Devizes has also been reborn as a summer destination for the coming year. You start to prepare, well, now. Today. Tonight.

bb:

Thank you, Hucka D. Even if I end up not going I’m going to prepare nonetheless.

Hucka D.:

Yes. That is the meaning of all this. Baker Bloch uses a batgun to open up a portal between Collagesity and Devizes in the Fal Mouth Moon, one of the few Wiltshire images appearing in the Falmouth [collage] series within. The Power Tower Gowlery, in contrast, is chocked full of ’em. That’s another tension, like Noru vs. Rubi. Wiltshire dominated Gilatona-Lis vs. Falmouth and its Whitehead Crossing culmination and Stonethwaite middle game. Like ironing. The Art 10×10 has kind of been left behind, however, don’t you think?

bb:

Yes. It’s the basis and foundation, but the battle moves beyond it. Is this like the battle between the Grays and the Browns?

Hucka D. (seeming to ignore bb’s question):

The batgun was used to open the portal — tunnel at Devizes. Then, *just coincidentally* — *not* — you open up a railroad tunnel in Collagesity. The two become parallel, see. You create the underground. Now… can you remember *before*.

bb:

The tunnel is also symbolic of a black hole, Hucka D. Specifically the star Cygnus X-1, as sung by Canadian rock group Rush in the mid-70s.

Hucka D.:

What’s on the Other Side?

bb:

Superman?
