new products

i'm lazy, ok. i made new products. buttloads of new glasses at cheaters, a new belt, and some wristbands at unpop. check them out or not.

my first less boring post

i'm still posting here because SL is still not letting me in and neither is party poker. (human interactions in both are about the same)

i should be asleep, as well, or working on my essays, but you know, i'm lazy. that defines me as an SL designer. some designers are really talented, others are really crap, and i'm just really lazy.

so i stumbled upon a blog by a really crap SL designer who sells overpriced monotone outfits. she probably does much better than me, financially.

anyway, she amused me. first, she said snow crash was about an "interactive internet". she writes a fucking blog for fuck's sake. if the internet weren't interactive, it would be a newspaper or something. it would be mad magazine, stormtrooper, field and stream, or something equally retarded. and anyway, it was more about sumarian cult history than anything else, as i recall.

so from this, she goes on to talk about hooking up, because, as we all know, people who play SL are notoriously skilled at romance. she said there are 2 types of people in SL: those who act with their RL personalities and find meaning in SL and those who consider SL a game and just use it for sex and money (and probably marijuana cigarettes and rock and roll!). those definitions sounded a bit contradictory to me.

i consider SL a game. i consider life a game, but the stakes are much higher in life. Second Life is just a small blinds table of human interaction. if i see a big-ass dude who looks like an idiot in SL, i'll inform him of my opinion. in real life, i would just tell everyone outside of his earshot.

and what bothers a lot of people is that many folks in SL take it way too seriously. i don't follow this opinion, because, honestly, i don't think you can take SL too seriously. what could someone say that would display that they take SL too seriously? what people mistake as taking SL too seriously is people who take themselves too seriously.

if you find someone in SL who is everything you could ever to hope to find in a mate, i think that's fine. if you disagree, you probably think blind and deaf people should never mate just because they interact with people in a different, and basically limited way.

the people who annoy me are those who, say, think they contain the souls of sports' team mascots, people who can get worked up over having their avatar pushed a little, or people who use the word "ignorant" to mean stupid because they think it makes them sound more mature when they call people that.

those who know me know that i stir up a bit of trouble wherever i go. it's just my nature. i'm never cruel, but people still get really worked up. when you can practically feel their veins popping through SL, i sometimes try to remind them that SL is just a game, but what i mean is that they shouldn't take themselves so seriously.

there are 2 types of people in SL:

those, when affronted, think and/or say something along the lines of "HOW DARE THEY!"

and

those who take it in stride.

so in case anyone has read this, i'm going to still make it a point to affront each and every one of you at least once to determine whether you're worth the time to continue talking to. because how dare you if you're not.

sl is down so i'm updating this

i made some new stuff. i made a new line of belts that are pretty good. they've got an audio cassette as the buckle and lots of people have bought it so far, so i'm guessing it's nice. the belt buckle cassette is pretty much all prim-based, which is a plus.

i'm making another belt that's going to be sorta steam-punky. *if i can ever get back in sl.

i also made some really crappy bowties that are just single prim textures of bowties. i dunno, i was bored.

while sl was down today and i wasn't writing my essays that are already overdue, i made a few new lines of glasses for cheaters, which you should see coming out soon.

i would probably write more than just product updates here, but i figure nobody really reads this, anyway. maybe i'll put tutorials on it, but i dunno

new shop!

it's called Cheaters Eyewear, or cheaters for brevity.

i really should call this blog unpop, tacky shit, and cheaters, now, but i'm too lazy to change it.

anyway, it's still a tiny little shop now that only sells glasses and sunglasses. the name is from the old hipster lingo for glasses. in case you were wondering.

just search for cheaters in place search with "include mature regions" selected.

MORE FUCKING GLASSES

i'm like a glasses factory.

there are so many, i'm not going to post any pictures. just go to unpop from my picks.

anyway, the news, i guess, is that i'm thinking of opening a new shop, one devoted to glasses. i don't particularly like glasses (i'm much more of a clocks person) but glasses are piss easy to make and they sell like hotcakes.

i was also thinking of splitting off my spare lot into a bunch of little shops, one of which being a glasses place, another being a clock place, and i dunno what else. maybe i tie shop. everyone likes ties.

i also have a few essays to write, so this may all just be conjecture.

new glasses

ok ok, i know i don't update this thing ever, but i've never been into the whole blogging thing. i just made some new glasses that are ok. they're on sale at both unpop and tacky, so take a look.

not dead

after starting tacky shit, i sorta fell out of SL. well, i'm sorta back now. i don't know when i'll start designing, but i have decided to keep my shops running, thanks to ziek. i know nobody reads this, but you should all know she's a star.

i will probably be away from SL for the next week or so while i traverse london, but i will return
