223 - Westminster altar

Dim Sum quietly pads through the darkened cathedral. She could almost hear the echo of her breath.


Real life exploded. In a very good way. Last month has been very lucky and very busy. First, we moved to a new (bigger) place, which became available after almost a year of waiting, so I had to pack, move, and clean the old place in the span of a week or so. We're still unpacking. Second, Thanksgiving happened (I was stuffed), and also my sister's 25th-wedding-anniversary-vow-renewal ceremony and reception. Third, I accepted a job offer and I started last week.

That said, I have to be very selective about what I do during my now-much-rarer free time. Dim Sum will continue until Day 365. However, that day could very well be a few years from now. ;)

222 - Dark passage

Dim Sum half-expects a Shakespearean actor to come out of the shadows. Thankfully, she can see better in the dark. 


Remember I wanted to do something innovative? Ta-da!

Actually, this is something simple. It's just three invisible lights worn as attachments. Not even projectors. Then I just had to find the right position for Dim Sum to get the right lighting. And that's not easy because she kept moving around. The texture on that wall on the left kept getting blurry, and I don't know why. So I had to keep refreshing textures.

The cathedral was created by TheBlack Box.

221 - Verily face-to-face

Dim Sum meows at the other white cat.
"Are you the doorcat?" she asked.
"No, I'm the bouncer," replied the other.
"Does it pay well?" she probed.
"I get all the tuna I can eat," boasted the other.


I was thinking this image is like a combination of this Goatswood pic and this haunted house pic, but I'm too tired to be innovative today. I'm actually supposed to be packing today and during the next few days.

The trick here is to figure out which one is Dim Sum.

220 - Baa, baa, blackface sheep

Dim Sum interrogates the sheep to find out what they know about the wool industry of the kingdom. But the sheep simply prodded her and wondered why her wool wasn't as thick or as fluffy as theirs. And they were shocked to find out that Dim Sum has never been sheared.


I couldn't get to the sim that I was invited to visit. I could see it on the map but when I try to teleport, SL says it couldn't find it. So I went to Tudor Rose instead.

While I was mucking with the windlight, a two-day-old newbie came really really close, and I thought he was going to bump me off my position. But he didn't. Then eventually, he moved around me, off camera. Then he came back again and got stuck in the tree trunk. So I said hello and he replied. Based on his name, I figured he spoke Spanish (or Italian) and when I asked him he simply said "jejeje". You could tell the Spanish-speaking people by their "jejeje" or "jajaja" laugh. ;)

Anyway, we had a short conversation with my broken Spanish and occasionally with Google Translate's broken Spanish. :) He said he's checking out this "juego" and I told him SL is not a "juego", but he could meet a lot of people here. Then I suggested he could go to live music events and, after he said he is also a musician in RL, then I sent him the URL to the wiki about music in SL. Then he escaped before I could give him more reading assignments. After all, who ever heard of getting homework from a cat inside a "juego"?  :D
