a question and a meme

the question, part 1: Anyone here in Second Life?

There's apparently a push (several pushes) to get a virtual pr/sales opportunity set up therein for writers.

I admit to not understanding the fascination of full-immersion virtual life (starting with Sims, and going on through this, and WoW, etc. My lack, I'm sure). So -- after wondering how anyone has time for one life, much less a second -- I ask the question, part 2: is it possible for me to dip into this, or should I just accept that this is one of those opportunities that will pass me by because First Life is too short?

Your Brain is Green

Of all the brain types, yours has the most balance. You are able to see all sides to most problems and are a good problem solver. You need time to work out your thoughts, but you don't get stuck in bad thinking patterns. You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about the future, philosophy, and relationships (both personal and intellectual).

What Color Is Your Brain?

*brainpalm* If every test I take tells me I'm well-balanced, why do I feel I'm going through life off-kilter?

(this morning I know it's because I got talked into that third martini. There's a reason I usually don't drink those things....)

last night's BAR benefit...

Since I referenced the martinis in my previous post...

some politics with your lunch...

from the NYT:

After a highly-emotional debate, the House voted 218-212 to set a timetable for bringing American troops home. Republicans said the measure would amount to micromanaging the war.

to which I say -- dudes, if you'd been managing this war at all, we wouldn't be in this mess. So ahead with the micro!
