Walkabout

Holy Cow!

2011-09-30T05:49:00.000-07:00

December 2010? Seriously? I could have sworn I threw in a post here recently.

Ok, time for a picture dump just to have "posted something" again. Costumes coming up!

The theme was spring, so I went for the literal interpretation:

I don't actually remember the theme for this one, but I went as Mousin Hood, the hero that steals cheese from the rich and.. noms.

For the Out at Sea theme, I went as my RL dad. Ok, so it is a shorter version, but otherwise the resemblance is uncanny!

Again I don't remember the specific theme.. But I loved my costume! It's all stuff I just modded/retextured. :D just don't blink now:

Did you blink? No? Goo....AAAAGH!

And then there was the Heroes and Villains theme. I went as the ultimate villain.

(Can ya tell I have discovered Doctor Who?)

Next up: Fairy Tales. Now, we get our fair share of trolls at the Shelter, so I decided to show them how it's done.

Loved that avatar, will poste more pics of it later. Like, in 2013 or something. The skin is an Eloh-mod, the clothing is urchin-freebies and the trees are stuff from Botanical that was collecting dust in my inventory.

Next up: Decora? What is that, you say? I have no idea.. I just followed the instructions from the host, and it seemed to go well. :D

Then there was the Evil Doll-theme. I recycled this from three previous themes, efficiency ftw!

Gotta stop there for now. Maybe I won't wait until 2012 to post the rest.

Holiday Withdrawals

2010-12-24T03:18:00.000-08:00

Spending a week at my mom's house, which means no SL. Well, almost. I'm able to use a text based client, at least. Also, I figured I could make time pass while the "ribbe" is roasting by making a pointless blog post.

Oh don't look at me that way, I'm the chef of the day, I get to sit down now because I'll be plenty busy in an hour when the rest of the food has too be prepared.

Ok, picture dump coming up:

Posing with Mr. Snow Man, I made him two years ago, but I have a really big freezer. :D

Went out to have some fun with the sleigh, came home with pneumonia. Requesting sleigh with better steering system from Santa this year.

Me and Damion sat down for a rest. We got company as you see. This was just before we noticed them, two seconds later we were far, far away. If anyone heard screams, it was just.. we were just goofing around. Of course. >.>

Oh that silly Damion, he's so funny. And so dead.

There was eggnog, but due to ingredients, we had to grow up before having some.

Here's a pic of what I have roasting by the way. Well, not the actual one, but it looks just the same:

When done, it will hopefully look like this:

Yeeah. Hungry now. At least two hours to go. Gonna go find something to nom on.

No title because I can't think of one

2010-12-06T03:24:00.000-08:00

This is me, taking a nap to remedy the acute lack of sleep last night.

Well ok, that WAS the intention. I just had to check mail first. And plurk. And.. and.. and write a blogpost? o.O

Oh but I just had to share, I got new tees in the mail today, this being one of them:

No, that's not me in the pic, although I'd love to be that thin. Could do without the beard though. BUT OMG I TOTALLY HAVE THAT SHIRT NOW! :D I'm gonna wear it to work tomorrow and walk proudly around ignoring the cold and see the ~~admiration~~ confusion on their faces as they don't get it.

Sleep now, thanks.

Boredom=blogging?

2010-11-17T05:55:00.000-08:00

Staying home baceuse you'r sick gets boring fast, even with a long list of Heroes episodes waiting for me. I haven't watched Heroes since the first season aired, so I had some catching up to do. XD When I needed a break from that, I decided to just log on SL, take pics of whatever I happened to be wearing, and blog it.

The t-shirt in the pic was a happy find. Someone plurked about Starlust closing, so I headed over to look around as I hadn't been there in ages. Came across a small t-shirt shop, and shopping happened. I was impressed with how the print was so nicely matched up in the sides.

Shirt: Cautionary tale from Fox in the Snow
Pants: Blue jeans (part of Riley outfit) from Indi Designs
Socks: I.L.PUNK (blue) from :sey
Shoes: Lowtops from HoC (colorchange with script, and also modify)
Glasses: KRO 1.02 from Kumaki Glasses

Hair: James from MADesigns
Skin: Plinker's Boy PP-LB-510
Eyes: Summer Storm from Poetic Colors

Ok, I'm ready to return to Heroes now, but first, a few random pics from the Shelter theme dances.

Creatures of the Night:

Witches and wizards (I came as a wannabe):

Halloween:

Rememberance Day:

Last minute work

2010-08-29T07:15:00.000-07:00

Falling behind on flickr and this place again. RL is holding me hostage, halp!

In the meanwhile, here's a pic from the costume Damion and I wore at the last Shelter dance (I was lagging too much to take pics while there).

Meet Gepetto and Pinocchio!

Damion is sporting a mix of various clothing he had from before, Gepetto's head is made by me, the hair is retextured library hair, and the moustache is from Discord.

My hat, bow and hair is from stuff I had in inventory, the rest I made. Not as detail as I had plans for, but somehow that's always the case - as I tend to do things last minute, and go "ok fine this will have to do" when it's time to head down to the Shelter. >_> A good planner, I am not.

All grown up

2010-07-15T15:29:00.000-07:00

I'm not always a kid in Second Life, so I figured I might post pics of my grown up-self too, starting with one of them "look at what I'm wearing"-posts.

Wearing in the pic:
*Josef* Black zipped pants
*Linc* Button down shirt black
HoC Industries Casual loafers
*BLITZED* Classic belt v.2 - Old leather black
*BLITZED* Chorus bracelet - black
Tribal Necklace from Gabriel

Syttende mai er vi så gla' i!

2010-07-06T22:03:00.001-07:00

Ok, so I don't really do much for Norway's constitution day on May 17th. It is usually filled with marching bands. I hate marching bands. This year I dressed up and joined the parade in Second Norway instead.

My outfit for the day was an outfit I found two years ago, that was the closest I found to a traditional costume.

The weather was good and people were dressed up nice. ^_^ Gotta click the big pic to see all of it, I think.

Ok, that's all for now, I really need to get back to this blog later, I'm just so superbusy!

Ok, superlazy. But whatever.

One down..

2010-05-29T07:05:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I forgot the blog again. I have some pics I need to sort through, some I'll share here. I need to get it done, because my computer is feeling blue and needs to be reinstalled. Before I do that though, I have to make sure that my other, older computer will be able to hold up in case things don't go according to plan. I reinstalled that one last nigh, made sure SL works (priorities, right?), so progress is being made.

I'll get around to it. Soonish. I think.

Oh Canada and ..Disney?

2010-04-28T09:28:00.000-07:00

I was lazy! Yep. But here's a couple of pics from the last three Shelter theme dances at least.

Ok, first up is the Canada dance. In the back is Meg and benton looking all strickt and authorative and stuff, while I'm waving a curling ball (stone? Whatever it's called..) around. :D (click for larger images)

Next up was the Disney theme. I made me a Donald shirt and matching shorts, and stuck my feet in Miracle grow overnight. :D

In this one it looks like Clarabelle is about to get punched!! D:

Not to worry, they were only dancing though.

Last Saturday was the FireEyes theme - since FE is like, totally ancient in SL. Old geezers should be celebrated, right?

Here's a pic of Winry, me, and Reina, the chick FE lured into dancing with him one time. (They still dance a lot.)

I got kinda busy the last weeks, 'cause Uncle Clathi gave me a bunny. Well, I kinda had to nag a lot before I got it so it was well earned. Only, then I got another one. And next thing I knew, I was overrun with bunnies!

Clathi likes getting mutant bunnies.

I don't this is what he had in mind though. XD

Ok, laters!

In Wonderland

2010-04-05T04:39:00.001-07:00

This Saturday I remembered to tae a few pics at the Shelter theme dance. And a couple of video snippets. :D

Video?

2010-04-02T09:17:00.001-07:00

Video!

I remembered I had the demo version of fraps and decided to try it out. That was fun. Must do that more.

The video I made is of the costume I'm gonna use at the Shelter dance this Saturday.

Clothing faire VENT

2010-03-16T11:29:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I head over to the clothing faire, some spending money in my pocket, hoping to find some nice stuff on the kiosks where the entire amount goes to a good cause. Of course, some stores only sell female items. Ok fine. But, when I get to stores that have female AND male items, and they have 4 kiosks with only female stuff?? Um, hello? Hey, I don't mean to be greedy, I can donate without getting something back.... But why do we guys always have to get such a bad deal? Even from the designers that sell stuff for guys??

I just exited Bare Rose's shop with a big pout on my face. Yeah they too had good guy stuff for sale, but I wanted to buy from the kiosks for a reason ya know. Dresses just ain't me.

Main point: If those who sold clothing for guys and gals put up stuff for both in the kiosks, there just might be more money in it for RLF.

*sighs and hopes for better luck at the next stop*

Royal is me

2010-03-15T14:29:00.000-07:00

So, The Shelter had a Royalty theme last Saturday. I decided to go for Indian prince, and went-a-lookin' for a suitable outfit. After some googling and inworld searching, I ended up with the outfit below.

This outfit is a jodhpur that I got at {Zaara}. It had nice textures, but was a challenge to mod. usually jacket prims arn't that much of a pain, but with this one I ended up reciting some of my nicer words. The outcome was acceptable though.

The surprise was bigger when I noticed the neck. The jacket texture left a not so nice line on the transparent area.

At first it had me growling at the screen ('cause I'm picky like that), BUT fortunately tweaking the jacket layer sliders was enough to hide it. All in all, it worked out well.

Oh yeah.. and I forgot to take pics at the event. Oops? I will punish myself by not eating any chocolate today. Since I don't have any anyways.

Jammies!

2010-03-06T19:40:00.000-08:00

I am really tired, but decided to jot down a quick post before I crash. The theme party at the Shelter today was jammies, so I was gonna make my own and add some accessories. It's good to plan ahead, yes? Unfortunately I tend to not to get past the planning stage, so once again I found myself in psp working on files, checking the time going ... well I'm not gonna repeat what I was saying, some people might scold me for the language. ^_^'

Anyways, I had planned to do a "sweet dreams"-thing and use candy and stuff. Once I got to work I couldn't find any useful pics, and and.. long story short, I had to settle for less. I did get time to make me a doll though. It was inspired by last nights munching. :D I named it Bertie. Just like the original. Cause I'm clever like that, yeah.

Lailantie had penguin jammies and slippers. They were kinda cool. The slippers looked warmer than mine, which were made of jellybeans. Did you know that dancing in jellybean slippers makes your feet warm, sticky and colorful after a while? They smelled good though! Kinda fruity.

This here is Velveeta. She's kinda bossy. I think she may have noticed the drawing I made of her with a moustache and big ears that I taped to the coffee bar at the Shelter, cause she was saying mean things about me, like how I haven't learned to share and stuff. I proved her wrong by giving away Berties, I did! Good thing I have an infinite number of Berties, or I would've had to sneak around to get em back later. >_>

Benton is the host of the Saturday theme party. I think he had a "SL-special"-pajamas for this event, as he was grey from the waist up all evening. His head was also on backwards. And I think he was trying to eat Meg's brain. Oooh I get it now.. He's become a zombie! D:

I think we may need a new Saturday host soon, cause zombies get rather smelly after a few weeks.

Here's a nice romantic pic of India and Cricket, look how he's gazing into her eyes, looking right into her soul.. Which is a good thing cause duuude! Check out her hair! If he looks away from her soul and sees the hair roll thingies he'll prolly laugh his ass off and make her all angry and next thing you know he's being attacked by a rolling pin.

"Darling.. I have something to tell you.. Just between you and me.. oh and the big ass BUG on my shoulder.."

Damion showed up with some yucky green goo on his face. At first I was wondering if maybe I should say something.. but then I heard a few comments that made it sound like he had done that on purpose. They called it a "mask". I don't know, it was a pretty crappy mask if you ask me. I mean, since it was green maybe he was trying to be the Hulk, or that gnome from Spider-Man, I have no idea. I should give him the adress to a GOOD mask-store. *nods*

Oh! He brought a twister game though, so that was pretty cool!

A few more pics on my flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lorentwine/

Ok, NOW I gotta crash. Sooo tired!

Nostalgia FTW

2010-02-27T16:10:00.000-08:00

Was looking through my pics and found a batch I had forgotten to put on flickr. I went to visit Second Norway in SL a while ago, here are some pics from there. :)

Apparantly this is based on Bergen, I have never been so no idea how accurate it may be. Oh and.. don't tell anyone I was sitting like that with no life jacket, k..? >_>

Ok, you just don't leave your tractor unattended with the engine running. You just don't.

And I have NO idea what happened to the barn wall!!!!1!!

This kitty was ever so patient, waiting for a snack to appear...

...when a big rat finally showed up, it decided it wasn't too hungry after all. Chicken! XD

Ok, nostalgia-attack in 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1...

Skomakergata! From a kid's show that used to air in December, every day until Christmas eve.

Inside shoemaker Andersen's home. (Yup that's me in the back. Way back. Behind the newspaper!)

Tøffe Tøfflus! A talking slipper, that is. Fond of parsley and had his own home cinema in the kitchen counter.

Ok, moment of nostalgia over for now. XD

Whatcha doin' on Saturday?

2010-02-21T17:08:00.000-08:00

I know what I'm doing. Almost always, that is. The Shelter has a themed dance at 1pm SLT every Saturday, and since I love putting together a costume.. I'm in! So, I figured I'd throw in a couple of pics from Shelter dances. I don't always remember to take pics, I need to shape up when it comes to that.

The clown was for the circus theme. I modded an eloh skin, smacked on a creepy clown pic, did some tweaking and there ya go. This look is, like, totally me.

Hair: Joseph - Deviant Kitties
Outfit: Masquerade - Bare Rose

Another pic of me.. dancing on the table CUZ I'M BADASS LIKE THAT! *cough* Yeah. Also on the pic is Patience and Benton.

At the Pride & Prejudice theme I just decided to come as a street urchin. And fittingly the outfit is a freebie I picked up somewhere. :D The book next to me was not on display, it was a newbie, Damion. He kept almost tipping over me. "Death by Jane Austen", such a potential tragedy! And he did it on purpose too! What an arse! D:

Oh and Christmas is a while ago, but here's me running for my life from a deadly otter at a theme dance from last year. Ick!

Well I know what I could do..

2010-02-19T20:53:00.000-08:00

Post random pics of what I'm wearing every now and then! it seems to be the "in" thing to do, so why the heck not. :D

When I saw the promo pic of the hoodie from :Sey, I just had to have it. Been wearing it since, with the rest of the stuff worn in the pic. Ok, so maybe I need to do some laundry soon but.. Meh! Who cares! As long as I don't kick the shoes off in public, noone can tell how long I've used these socks. *nods*

I've had the Zanzo sneakers for quite some time, they have become my default footwear. Comfy, cheerful, and I can run damn fast after pissing off certain people. *cough*

Maybe it was a bit unfair to not show the tee better, but at least you can tell that's Homer peeking out, yeah? I might show it off better later with more tees from the same store, they have a bunch of funny tees. :D

Oh, and if anyone wondered about the neko eyes.. That's just me being forgetful/lazy when changing avatars. XD

Skin: Plinker's boy PB-LB 510 skin
Hair: The GL - Broder
Eyes: Zanzo - Nekovision (Sapphire pure)

Hoodie: :Sey crawlers
Tee: Intrigues Co. - Homer Moo Moo
Pants: Primitive Design - Fight Club reborn
Socks: :Sey I.L.PUNK
Shoes: Zanzo - Supah Fresh Sneeks

Ok..

2010-02-19T17:28:00.001-08:00

I'll have to find a template that works with posting pics without snipping them in the sides.. -_-

O Hai!

2010-02-19T15:50:00.000-08:00

Yeah! I'm gonna try and actually use this blog.. Once in a blue moon. :p

Since that is a very spontanious decision and I have nothing to post, have a couple of random pics instead.

Me at the zoo. There were supposed to be some big cats around here, but I didn't see any.

This is my uncle Darion. He's a big cat sometimes. Maybe I should bring him to that zoo.

This was for a photocontest thingy. I didn't win. Can you believe that? Sure the winning photo was totally awesome in every way, but.. Look at my hat! It's wicked cool!! :D

Zomg

2009-10-01T16:10:00.001-07:00

Maybe I'll post pics here if I remember. :D
