--BELL--(1315)

Agatha Macbeth: What was it about then?
Bertram Jacobus: the movie ?
Agatha Macbeth: Mm
Bruce Mowbray: Director/choreographer Bob Fosse tells his own life story as he details the sordid life of Joe Gideon (Roy Scheider), a womanizing, drug-using dancer
Agatha Macbeth: I like him :)
Bruce Mowbray: Roy Scheider? He was also in JAWS.
Bertram Jacobus: very special story - about a broadview regisseur, but also about his dying - with all the episodes which for example madame kübler- ross described ... don´t remember all ...
Agatha Macbeth: And 2010
Bruce Mowbray: Yes, a sordid tale -- and a true one.
Agatha Macbeth: He played Heywood Floyd
Bruce Mowbray: That name has a familiar ring to it -- Who was Heywood Floyd?
Agatha Macbeth: Originally in 2001
Agatha Macbeth: The scientist
Agatha Macbeth: Don't remember who played him in the original
Bruce Mowbray: Oh YES! 2001 -- A Space Odessy (never could spell that word!)
Agatha Macbeth: Ah: William Sylvester
Bertram Jacobus: sometimes i have the impression, my whole life was a movie ...
Bruce Mowbray: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062622/
Bertram Jacobus: only a movie ...
Agatha Macbeth: That's the one
Bertram Jacobus: yes
Agatha Macbeth: Are you the director or the star Bert?
Bruce Mowbray: Does your "movie" have an interesting plot, Bert?

Bertram Jacobus: your´s aga ? ;-)
Agatha Macbeth: Probably
Bertram Jacobus: ;-)
Agatha Macbeth: I hate the way the pillars get in the way of the camera angles here
Bruce Mowbray: yes, especially when it's necessary to pull way back to get everyone in.
Agatha Macbeth: That's better
Agatha Macbeth: That's what I mean Bruce, yes
Agatha Macbeth: And why so many trees too?
Agatha Macbeth prefers things uncluttered
Bruce Mowbray: never can have TOO many trees, though.
Agatha Macbeth: Or a hug becomes a gang bang...
Bruce Mowbray: Ha!
Agatha Macbeth slaps her wrist
Agatha Macbeth: Behave!
Bruce Mowbray: Reminds me of something I read in a book about SL --
Bruce Mowbray: university studies have been done concerning what "emerges" from human behavior...
Agatha Macbeth: Ooh
Bruce Mowbray: and it has been noted that "ethics" emerges from human behavior in SL.
Agatha Macbeth: More so than RL?
Bruce Mowbray: Avatar interactions over periods of time . . .
Bruce Mowbray: well, in different ways than in RL.
Agatha Macbeth nods
Agatha Macbeth: It's a very interesting subject
Bruce Mowbray: I've discovered that myself -- in only the 4 months I've been here.
Agatha Macbeth: Thx Bert :)

Archmage Atlantis: still only one

--BELL--(1345)

Agatha Macbeth: Bless the Berti
Archmage Atlantis: Nice Agatha, plural Bert's in Latin
Agatha Macbeth grins
Bruce Mowbray muses: We're voting with our bodies whether we're "lost in the 60's" or not.
Agatha Macbeth: Like cacti
Agatha Macbeth: i think mine just voted against
Agatha Macbeth: It keeps saying 'you think you're HOW old????'
Archmage Atlantis: And do you answer Aggie?
Agatha Macbeth: I pretend not to hear dear
Archmage Atlantis: This life is an illusion
Agatha Macbeth: Hopefully
Dash Earthboy: as a young soul I think I'm still in single digits
Kiki Walpanheim: lost in the 60's?
Archmage Atlantis: The smartest, most caring, most daring women I have know here have never had trouble stating
Bruce Mowbray: ;-) (my "soul" is still in adolescence.)
Agatha Macbeth is lost in the 70s instead
Kiki Walpanheim: 1960's?
Archmage Atlantis: I forget, I was born old
Bruce Mowbray: Halllooooo, Zin.
Bruce Mowbray: Zon.
Dash Earthboy: Hi Zon
Zon Quar: hi again
Agatha Macbeth looks round for Zin
Bruce Mowbray: the Zen of being Zin.
Agatha Macbeth: and Zen
Bruce Mowbray: and Zon.
Agatha Macbeth: What about Zan?
Bruce Mowbray: Zun.
Zon Quar: Zon sounds best
Bruce Mowbray: Zon, is cool, indeed.
Zon Quar: nods
Agatha Macbeth: Does it mean something tho?
Zon Quar: sun
Zon Quar: in dutch
Agatha Macbeth: Aha
Zon Quar: ive been told
Bruce Mowbray: So, Arch, Is Koya also an illusion?
Archmage Atlantis: The Zin of being Zin, and This, and there are some heiroglyphyics to say that with also
Agatha Macbeth: I love hieroglyphics
Archmage Atlantis: Of course, Bruce......Nimbus is my RL cat
Archmage Atlantis: Koya is an idea
Archmage Atlantis: Nimbus is a being in this reality
Bruce Mowbray: Koya's namesake: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085809/
Bruce Mowbray: So, Nimbus is NOT an illusion?
Agatha Macbeth knows it well (Quoyaaniskatsi)
Zon Quar: arent we all
Zon Quar: illusions
Agatha Macbeth: We are pixels
Archmage Atlantis: Could be Bruce, but the guy knocking on the keyboard would then also be an illusion
Zon Quar: prentending to be Mes
Agatha Macbeth: He is :)
Bruce Mowbray thinks aggers might be what Pamala Clift would call a "disassociative."
Zon Quar: agger ?
Agatha Macbeth: Good old Pamala
Bruce Mowbray: She's FINE -- and no that old, either.
Archmage Atlantis: Thinks labels are just simple ways to catagorize complex things
Agatha Macbeth: Lucky her
Kiki Walpanheim: her voice is beautiful and sounds young
Bruce Mowbray: yup.
Zon Quar: all souls are yong
Zon Quar: its just the bodies that get old
Archmage Atlantis: Yep
Dash Earthboy: lovely to see y'all again...time for me to mow some lawn
Archmage Atlantis: that is why I like text
Kiki Walpanheim: we are not a body with a soul, but a soul...with a body
Agatha Macbeth: Go mow de lawan Dash
Bruce Mowbray: Stay cool, Dash -- and look out for the neighbor's dog.
Kiki Walpanheim: bye dash
Archmage Atlantis: When my bf heard my voice, it was higher in tone to his
Agatha Macbeth: And the neighbour's cat
Archmage Atlantis: It messed up our roles
Kiki Walpanheim: there is voice morphing in sl now
Agatha Macbeth: Was he jealous Arch?
Kiki Walpanheim: i tried that today, it was fun
Archmage Atlantis: No, Aggie......he is a kind soul
Agatha Macbeth: Aww
Archmage Atlantis: Just not ready of that part of this illusion
Yakuzza Lethecus: are there a couple of free voices or do you have to pay for all ?
Kiki Walpanheim: especially when you sing the hyms in a church in SL with voice morphing...

--BELL--(1400)

Agatha Macbeth: Sounds interesting
Archmage Atlantis: There are hymns here? Tell me where pls.
Kiki Walpanheim: yeah....didnt try to sing in sl before...and it feels good to do that in a sl church
Kiki Walpanheim: well....when you sing or when your friend does, there is...
Agatha Macbeth smiles
Kiki Walpanheim: otherwise, the church is generally empty
Archmage Atlantis: I love chants
Kiki Walpanheim: me too
Agatha Macbeth: Gregorian especially
Archmage Atlantis: Baroque music
Kiki Walpanheim: nods
Archmage Atlantis: Do you know what fish that your fish is modeled on Bruce.
Kiki Walpanheim: ahh....a flying fish
Agatha Macbeth: :)
Agatha Macbeth: A blue goldfish?
Bruce Mowbray: Nope -- do you know what fish Blub is modeled after?
Archmage Atlantis: It is a reef fish.....Known as an angelfish
Bruce Mowbray covers Blub's ears with hands.
Bruce Mowbray: OK -- go on...
Bruce Mowbray: ok.
Agatha Macbeth: Looks like a wrasse to me
Archmage Atlantis: That's it
Bruce Mowbray: an "angel fish"?
Archmage Atlantis: A wrasse would be much smaller, but the color is correct
Agatha Macbeth: Oh no, wrasse are longer...
Bruce Mowbray: Angel Fish
Agatha Macbeth: I just looked on Wiki
Agatha Macbeth: Definitely looks familiar tho
Archmage Atlantis: There are fresh water and salt water angel fish.......very different
Agatha Macbeth: Could be a piranha
Archmage Atlantis: Nope
Archmage Atlantis: Nice try Aggie
Zon Quar: time to go..c ya
Kiki Walpanheim: bye zon
Agatha Macbeth: The Zon sets in the west
Bruce Mowbray: Bye, Zon, Zin, Zen, Zy=un...
Archmage Atlantis: Well, it is a label....Blub is blub
Archmage Atlantis: A tautology
Agatha Macbeth: All fish taste nice
Bruce Mowbray: yup -- Blub the one and only.
Archmage Atlantis: yikes.....Carnivores///////uo
Kiki Walpanheim: btw....the pavilion here is nice...wondering if the higher levels of floors have been tried
Agatha Macbeth: Sorry, reading about piranhas
Bruce Mowbray thinks, "Figures."
Agatha Macbeth: I often used to sit on the roof when I first came here :)
Archmage Atlantis: How they can eat the flesh off a cow in moments?
Kiki Walpanheim: oh
Agatha Macbeth: With their teeth?
Archmage Atlantis: They feed in schools.....odd word that
Agatha Macbeth: I bet a lot more piranhas get eaten by humans than the other way round
Calvino Rabeni: I saw a school of fish the other day
Agatha Macbeth: Nice view Bruce?
Calvino Rabeni: the whole school about the size of a CD
Agatha Macbeth: Small fish then Cal
Calvino Rabeni: Yes, rather small, about the size of "rather" on this line of text
Archmage Atlantis: Yes, there was a school of alligators on tv yesterday..........a planned attack on a food source
Kiki Walpanheim: lol at bruce's tag
Agatha Macbeth: What kind of fish were they?
Kiki Walpanheim: Not-Angel man/ Angel fish....the tag
Kiki Walpanheim: the white tag below the avatar name

--BELL--(1415)

Agatha Macbeth: A floating text
Calvino Rabeni: I don't know what kind, there were a few different schools
Kiki Walpanheim: yeah
Agatha Macbeth: I wish i could work out how to do them
Bruce Mowbray: It's Cal's fault -- He gave me the hovering text.
Agatha Macbeth: I'll ask Wol when she gets back
Kiki Walpanheim: some script?
Calvino Rabeni: just off the dock, on a wind-less day
Kiki Walpanheim: nods
Bruce Mowbray: Talk to Cal, aggers.
Agatha Macbeth: Cal gets too technical ;-)
Bruce Mowbray: Oh come on -- all you have to do is wear it -- and then type /99 and whatever you want it to say.
Agatha Macbeth: Ah er well...
Agatha Macbeth: Where does it come from tho?
Bruce Mowbray: (Should I tell her, Cal?)
Calvino Rabeni: (Yes, but make it good)
Archmage Atlantis: Wol is too tech....OMG.....who are you people
Archmage Atlantis: Wol dumbs down everything
Agatha Macbeth: That's why I ask her!
Bruce Mowbray: Well, it is called "hovertext" - and you wear it on your shoulder. . . and Cal can probably give it to you.
Bruce Mowbray: But you're going to have to start being nice to him.
Agatha Macbeth: How nice?
Calvino Rabeni: heheh
Archmage Atlantis: Good question, Aggie
Kiki Walpanheim: so cal wrote the script....
Agatha Macbeth: Oh it's a script is it?
Bruce Mowbray: Don't know anything more about it than I've already said, sorry.
Agatha Macbeth: No point asking you then Bruce :p
Bruce Mowbray: I will try to give you a copy -- but I don't think it's transferable.
Agatha Macbeth: Useful stuff usually isn't
Kiki Walpanheim: i think you can see the origin of the stuff, where it is bought, or did i get it wrong...
Agatha Macbeth: Aha
Agatha Macbeth: ty
Kiki Walpanheim: well....i mean...i have a rough idea it seems somebody once told me how to see the origin of certain outfit/avatar/objects where it is bought...
Bruce Mowbray: YW!
Kiki Walpanheim: but dont remember how to...

I now have 'Hello Hello' above my head

Agatha Macbeth: One more and I'm a policeman
Archmage Atlantis: and, wrong, right......they are both relative to what each entity sees
Bruce Mowbray: None
Kiki Walpanheim: i see archmage's tatoo 天
Archmage Atlantis: *raises eyebrow*
Archmage Atlantis: Yes it was given to me, Kiki
Bruce Mowbray: and his shirtsleeves, too!
Kiki Walpanheim: oh
Kiki Walpanheim: it means,....sky
Archmage Atlantis: I did not ask for it
Kiki Walpanheim: universe...
Bruce Mowbray: cool, Arch.
Archmage Atlantis: The first totem given to me......let me look
Kiki Walpanheim: totem?
Archmage Atlantis: can't type.....nim needs to be held
Bruce Mowbray: I admire Arch for getting his priorities straight.
Bruce Mowbray: I admire anyone who can clearly distinguish between SL and RL - because I can't do that.
Kiki Walpanheim: me neither

--BELL--(1430)

Archmage Atlantis: is there an reason to distinquish?
Agatha Macbeth: I need to go off and sort this out
Bruce Mowbray: Ask Nimbus that.
Agatha Macbeth: Bye for now everyone

At this point, I disappeared to sort out my new hovertext

Calvino Rabeni: what is "clearly distinguish"
Bruce Mowbray: Byeeeee, aggers!
Kiki Walpanheim: bye agatha
Yakuzza Lethecus: bye aga
Calvino Rabeni: To distinguish or not to distinguish, that was the question
Yakuzza Lethecus: i can´t sadly
Yakuzza Lethecus: i am as pam said too immersed
Bruce Mowbray: "Clearly distinguish" means turning off the computer when RL matters need attending to.
Archmage Atlantis: What is nobler in the mind....:)
Calvino Rabeni: REALLY?
Bruce Mowbray: I am also IMMERSED.
Calvino Rabeni: TO suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous pixels
Archmage Atlantis: :)
Calvino Rabeni: Or to take arms against a sea of prims, and by doing so, Ctrl-Q
Yakuzza Lethecus: i can  ´t even imagine to find such a variation of ppl in rl, and to be surrounded by that many subjects and even ppl whom are deeper involved into these
Kiki Walpanheim: i think that s for quiting.....
Calvino Rabeni: To sleep, perchance to multitask
Calvino Rabeni: But in the sleep of multitasking, WHAT DREAMS may come?
Bruce Mowbray: Me neither, Yaku. For those reasons, SL is a most valuable resource --- ACCESS is what it's about.
Yakuzza Lethecus: i multitask often since i get too stuck into single subjects easily
Archmage Atlantis: These are the dreams, they come
Yakuzza Lethecus: stuckness is my enemy as well unconcentratedness
Bruce Mowbray: Aye, there's the rub.
Calvino Rabeni: Horns of a dilemma, Yaku
Yakuzza Lethecus: yeah, those are i try to balance
Archmage Atlantis: He/she/it lived many decades ago......this point in existence has been seen....I see you
Calvino Rabeni: Hmmm, yes, good old "he/she/it", I'll never forget him/her/that
Kiki Walpanheim: concentration and repeatedly doing one thing is fine....as long as it does not concern others
Archmage Atlantis: That is why I prefer "e"
Bruce Mowbray: Whoa, Kiki. Do you really mean that?
Calvino Rabeni: > <
Calvino Rabeni: >-<
Bruce Mowbray: What is >-< ??
Kiki Walpanheim: well.... they say that whatever you want to achieve , if you spend , say 100,000 pesistently on doing it, it is likely you achieve what you want...that is called diligence....but when it is about unrealistic anticipation towards other ppl, it is not diligence no more...but...
Kiki Walpanheim: 100,000 hrs
Archmage Atlantis: Kiki is still typing
Kiki Walpanheim: i have finished typing
Bruce Mowbray: ok. I was thinking about Koya -- and the concept of "Balance" on an individual level.
Calvino Rabeni: 100000 hours is a lifetime
Kiki Walpanheim: well....that was exaggerating...so...
Archmage Atlantis: It was not exaggerating
Kiki Walpanheim: but spending 3-4 hrs a day practicing one thing for 10 years
Bruce Mowbray: ok. Even ten hours.... if not in balance with the rest of one's life?
Calvino Rabeni: approximately 50 person-work-years
Kiki Walpanheim: the time invested would be formidable
Kiki Walpanheim: well....then subtract some zeros from it
Kiki Walpanheim: not trying to be accurate....just as a demonstration

--BELL--(1445)

Bruce Mowbray: But -- the point is---- Does something I do for MYSELF (and do in an imbalanced way) affect the world?
Archmage Atlantis: Once said, the zeros cannot be extracted
Bruce Mowbray: ;-)
Bruce Mowbray: [written in pixel granite]
Archmage Atlantis: The answer is yes
Archmage Atlantis: has to lift nim, brb
Kiki Walpanheim: enjoyed pab...see ya
Bruce Mowbray: Bye, Kiki --- have a good day!
Yakuzza Lethecus: i think i wasted many hours of my live being stuck in my own world believing false things and not communicating enough and not being surrounded by enough diverse opinions
Calvino Rabeni: Maybe so
Archmage Atlantis: Yaku, my mother was in the first co-ed class at the University of
Calvino Rabeni: It's better to believe false thing in good company
Archmage Atlantis: Florida
Archmage Atlantis: I choose to believe
Calvino Rabeni: I do appreciate the value of diversity regardless of its truth value
Bruce Mowbray: SL must been a valuable tool for you, Yaku -- SUCH diversity here!
Bruce Mowbray: be.
Yakuzza Lethecus: how to preserve naturalness each moment ?
Yakuzza Lethecus: we can meditate, can we forget everything ?
Yakuzza Lethecus: should we forget everything `?
Calvino Rabeni: I saw a book in an alternative bookstore - "The Eightfold Path to Complete Spontaneity"
Archmage Atlantis: Never forget
Archmage Atlantis: But be free, yes
Yakuzza Lethecus: i feel a bit sad, good night
Archmage Atlantis: Rest small daughter
Bruce Mowbray: I've found that when I meditate, those things that upset me previously have less impact -- I react less . . .
Bruce Mowbray: I don't know whether that would also work with memories -- but I think so.
Bruce Mowbray: sad, Yaku. We are listening.
Calvino Rabeni: The Middle Way would be - it's good to be able to forget a large variety of things on special occasions
Bruce Mowbray: Do you wish to say more, Yaku?
Calvino Rabeni: Yaku has been forgotten by this session :)
Bruce Mowbray: Oh dear. I'm sorry that he left,,, just then.
Calvino Rabeni: Although one of us could speak on his behalf
Archmage Atlantis: Really
Bruce Mowbray: about our own being sad?
Archmage Atlantis: is Yaku a he
Bruce Mowbray: or about his?
Archmage Atlantis: or a she
Bruce Mowbray: His voice certainly sounds like he's a he.
Archmage Atlantis: crashing
Bruce Mowbray: WB, Arch!
Archmage Atlantis: Ghost in the machine
Archmage Atlantis: Ty

--BELL--(1500)

Archmage Atlantis: nim is liking thiss....he has all my attention
Bruce Mowbray: That's fine, Arch. I'm going to need to get supper pretty soon.
Archmage Atlantis: Time to end the party
Archmage Atlantis: It is an hour overdue
Bruce Mowbray: For me, I am afraid so.
Archmage Atlantis: Nite all
Bruce Mowbray: See you both later, I hope!
