Andromeda

Bernardo Quintana 405 . October 4, 2007 . 11:27 pm

I haven't posted anything lately related to my Second Life rendezvous and it's been on purpose. I have consciously taken some time off as it suddenly became too overwhelming.

Two weeks ago I saw Evo Morales give a speech at Cooper Union and the man was amazing. That night I dreamt that I met Evo in Second Life and taught his avatar how to fly. Yes... our avatars were friends. On another occasion not long ago, I found myself having more fun at Club Heaven than at a Real Life bar and to make matters worse, I think I'm starting to develop a crush on a colleague's avatar.


For all these reasons plus the fact that I can't stop thinking or talking about Second Life, I decided to take breather. My brain has always been adept at handling large amounts of visual information but then again I do not want it to fry on me so soon.

This week though my 'vacation' was interrupted because our class had two online meetings. Luckily they were great meetings. It's a different experience to hang out and explore Terra Firme with people you know from the real world. We visited very interesting places (will go back to that later) and met a tattoo artist, Gothotta Zander, who had met his Real Life wife, Jinger Curie, in Second Life.
They lived on a beautiful piece of land by the water and had a barn with cows, dogs, chickens, etc.




I have decided that if I ever have a pet in Second Life it will most definitely be a cow... I will name her Andromeda.


Now back to my vacation.
