SL/Things on screen are becoming more "real"

Hockey -- Second Life Hockey! -- was being broadcast on TV. It is amazing watching a simulcast of a sport that is all about speed...and Hockey speed being no problem in Second Life. We've come a long way in a short time!

My friend Uva Oxide, the walking-talking tree, showed up at the theater while the game was on.

Patric: down in front
Patric: you, the tree, down in front
Uva Oxide: yeah yeah :-P
Patric: this is supposed to be a live broadcast
Uva Oxide: man, I'm that person with the big hair
Patric: lol
Patric: you've finally become that person
Uva Oxide: I like to hide in the back if it's a big crowd ;-)
Patric: you need a trim
Patric: hold on, i got a chainsaw
Patric: j/k
Uva Oxide: yeah been adding branches actually
Patric: oh cool

SL/Treed

Speaking of trees...
I followed my good friend Uva Oxide (a tree) into a pop art exhibit where soup cans grabbed hold of us.
They carried us up to the ceiling and told us we were lovers/haters of pop art, before releasing us.
Here is Uva shrugging afterwards.
Here is a full moon seen through one of the windows.



I asked Uva if the moon had any influence over his growth, or was it all sun.
He didn't respond because he'd vanished.

There was no sign of his stump, either, so he was really missing.

SL/Tree Talk

I met a tree who could type in a creek. The creek had balls that contained poetry. The tree said he represented a virtual publishing company. I said it made sense that a virtual publishing company would be represented by a tree. I told him that he looked awesome and would blend in good with the environment. He said, "yes, esp if I sit down in a forest." Then I asked him as a tree, if he liked to sit or stand better. The tree then asked specifically about my smoke. I explained that it didn't make sense for me to give him a smoke, especially if he inhaled.
