On a more positive note from my previous post I'd like to award plaudits to Valaryia DeVinna & Raven Bohemian from Love of a lifetime Weddings. They organised the most wonderful of days and were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Val's had a few problems in RL from what I can gather but none of these distracted from her professionalism on the day - it was a pleasure to deal with herself and Raven. Highly recommended and I'll post some of my own pics from the day shortly. If you're thinking of getting married in SL and want a planner go straight to Val and Raven, you won't regret it.
Well hello world! It's hard to believe that I have not been in here since around Feb. The knee is still shot to hell. I have gone through some injections that have done nothing to help, so I have been really pushing it. The doctor is being less than helpful about the pain. For the most part I just grin and bear it.
Work has been insane!!! I'm busting my ass everyday. I'm starting to wonder why I have other employees when they seem to be not doing anything. Then there is my boss, who is not telling me anything about what is going on. Gotta love these corperate types, they must think that they will loose some special power if they share the information.
I'm still on the look out to chat with someone that might have gone through something like I have with my knee.
Hi, All, I've just posted a beatnik-themed video to YouTube under SLLonesock. I've uploaded it here. The members of Lone Sock Productions and friend Alley McNally put a lot of work into it. Please enjoy!
Just in case anyone reads this....if your from the UK I would like to extend a personal THANK YOU for being our friends through thick and thin. We haven't always agreed (noting Independence Day tommorrow), but we have found strength in each other. I have made several very good friends in SL and in RL from the other side of the pond, and you really are a lovely people. I don't think we say thank you enough so please take this as P doing her part.
So in honor of our holiday tommorrow....THANK YOU UK!
So I got married to the most wonderful woman, photos to follow if anyone is interested but what do you expect when contacting Wedding organisers in SL? Is it unreasonable to expect that they might actually help organise your wedding day considering the money they charge? We ended up with the most amazing woman to help us, more of her later but we had to work our way through two of the most unprofessional, unhelpful, amateurish organisations known to exist in SL.
If Dragon from Dream Weddings at Wedding Roses is reading this, we're still waiting for your quotation, it's only been 6 weeks and the wedding has been and gone but we're patient.:) If any one approaches Dream Weddings to organise their wedding day you'd better get there at least a year in advance to get any kind of assistance before your big day.
The amazing Anastacia Markova from the Fanastacia Weddings got my vote for the single most arrogant, rude and unhelpful wedding Organiser in SL. Don't give up your day job baby, your customer relation skills stink to high heaven. To anyone looking for a wedding organiser STEER WELL CLEAR.
I have been told so many times "good things come to those who wait" just have patience...Being away from SL for close to 2 1/2 months has truly taught me patience - but did I believe in the first statement? Ummm in my life not really but did I go the "pity me route" - a little but I didnt walk around my whole life and go oh poor me with everything that has happenned in my rl LOL I just say that hey my life has not been dull and leave it at that - why bore someone with some of the details...lot more people out there have had worse and just needed to say deal with it and move on...not that I am perfect and havent vented with some of the circumstances but its part of life....yeah yeah right - its ok roll your eyes but its all good and what a story or rather book will it make when I do find time to sit and write it ~ but recently I have thought about good things coming and I am sooo happy....looking at someone from afar and thinking geez this person does seem way to nice to really be that way, but time has proven me wrong...for the moment that is all I will say but I am smiling in sl and each moment that I have spent is truly precious...it is nice to honestly meet someone who does walk the walk...hugzz
During a meeting that was held last night by the management team of Amnesia, it was eventually decided that the venue will once again change how it looks and operates.
The new design is said to be one that does not exist in the Second Life grid a the present time, an oldskool warehouse look to make it appear like a proper rave venue.
It was also decided that the current schedule will change to go along with the new design, with a block of times dedicated to events with the other times being freeplay zones so that other DJs of Amnesia can arrive at the venue and get in a bit of practice or throw their own private parties.
It is unclear as to how the decision to restructure the venue came about but it is clear that the restructure of the venue and schedule will also mean a restructure of the staff group.
It has been said that Amnesia is closing its doors on all events this weekend in order for the management team to regroup and get everything into place ready for the reopening. The new build is expected to be in place and operational by Tuesday July 7th and is rumoured to incorporate a few new features.
Ok so I didn't plan to blog two mushy things in a row but this is special.
Two friends surprised me tonight with the most amazing videos of my SL wedding. I knew they were going to do a video, but I never expected anything as wonderful as this! So now I share with you all. :-)
The following videos are by Charlie Navarathna & Moonstone Eiren. They are the same video set to different music.
Hi guys, I'm sorry I "neglected" y'all. Noh .. I didn't. But I was occupied this week. Working hard, staying in hotels without internet or offering too expensive internet. 17 for 4 hours connection - I have to sleep, you know - is a little too much over my budget. I don't think my office would appreciate me if I would have taken payed that, with the crisis and all.
And for obvious reasons I can't be IW while I'm working, although the connection at this customer is sufficient.
So ... except for messaging my SL girl and MSNning my daughter, I didn't get to anyone else. But TGIF. 2 days of possible online time ... I just hope it's not too hot. Yesterday it was 87.8F/31C over here. That's hot, you know. I guess that's why all dutchies get hot, these days. lol
So .. if you see me IW, please don't pounce me, and let me handle my IM's first, pretty please. Okay?
This time no positive or filosophical things .. just a message.
Have fun, guys. See you all soon. :)
And Chissie .. sorry I couldn't teach you this week. Next week we'r on again :D
