Poll: Are pixies fae?

Feb 182010

Alright, can you help me resolve a dispute I’m having with my good friend in Second Life (and slightly crazy pixie) Koko?

It’s really simple. I say pixies are fae (also known as fairy or faerie folk), Koko says they’re not, they’re a species all to themselves.

So I was curious as to what everyone else thinks.

Beautiful Beadwork

Feb 162010

Tainee, our PCA, is a member of the family and we love her to bits.

Not only does she manage to keep the two of us on schedule, and handle all the stuff we can’t do because of our chairs, she’s one of those rare human beings who is just genuinely a really nice person. In the slang of the Service, she’s a good egg, snappy dresser, fun to be with at parties.

“Too Normal?? Me??” Revisited 6 Years On

Feb 142010

A conversation with Patrick a few days ago reminded me of a post I wrote in 2004, so I thought I’d add a little to it and bring it up to date. Original post is down below.

The conversation was pretty innocuous, talking about the way the sidewalks were totally impassable due to the snow being plowed onto them creating mega berms that will take ages to be cleared, and how it meant we’d have to travel on the road itself to reach the stores.

Snowpocalypse Day Four – Bracing For Round Two

Feb 092010

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get any pictures yesterday, but I wanted to get this update up from round one before round two hits – it just started snowing again.

I have no clue where he got it from, but yesterday we were astonished to see one of our neighbours come down the road in a Bobcat, a small front-loader excavator. He then proceeded to chunk out a wide path down the road, and even cleared our driveway enough so we can get to our trashcans.

So all the clearance you see in the pictures below is attributable to one resourceful resident, not the town, and not the county.

Render: A Geek Gyrl-Friday’s Assistant

Feb 082010

I was in a silly mood this morning, trying to avoid having to think about having to venture out into the snow to restock some supplies since there are more storms on the way, and decided to render a personal assistant for Yasmine Galenorn‘s personal assistant, GeekGyrlFriGEV.

Now, I know she’s a bit young, and might need the occasional burping and stuff, but I figure it’s best to start her training early.

So congratulations, GeekGyrl – you’re a momma

Snowpocalypse Day Two – Digging Out Begins

Feb 072010

I love how history repeats itself.

Most of the snow clearance you see on the ramp was done by our fantastic and wonderful PCA, Tainee. I did get to go out and start hammering on the ice on the ramp though – figures I get to do the destruction part

They think that plows might get to roads like ours mid-week.

Now, I realize people might say “Oh, well, the neighbors will all decide to dig their own way to the nearest cleared road” – and they very well might – but it won’t do us any good, since even a relatively small pile of frozen-slushed snow a car might drive through, or a pedestrian might step over, might as well be a solid wall for a wheelie.
