    Corvuscorva Nightfire: nods
    milakel Resident: i was a regular at kira cafe and there was one more step to pab :)
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: heehee
    milakel Resident: yet i was at first reluctant and cautious to look into it
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: why?
    milakel Resident: it seemed to me like a new age religious club :)
    milakel Resident: of sorts :)
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: haha
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: it is like that in a way
    milakel Resident: yea
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: and to tell the truth if it was REALLY like that
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: I'd hate it!
    milakel Resident: :)
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: :)
    milakel Resident: well, i still stay away from the new ageness bits :)
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: nods.
    milakel Resident: i like when things have practical applications and when there's a viable context present
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: thinks.
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: I don't feel that at all..I don't need all of my research to be applied
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: i like it for it's own sake
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: the thing I think is "new age" is when people talk about stuff that ought to be true because someone smart said it
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: instead of thinking it carefully through
    milakel Resident: ah, that happens in academia all the time :)
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: indeed
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: drives me crazy there, too
    milakel Resident: i see new age as talk for the talk's sake
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: thinks


    milakel Resident: wait, who is the guardian?
    milakel Resident: sleepy riddle? :)
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: no clue...I came late and the session really is over
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: probably should turn off the recorder!
    milakel Resident: yea
    Corvuscorva Nightfire: thank you!
    milakel Resident: :)

    The session mostly ends there, but Mila and Corvi have a great chat after that having stopped the recording.  We should get their permission and log it here.

    BTW - SL stayed logged on (with the riddle av sleeping) right throgh the next 1pm session and until about 4pm when came home and stopped it.  No region reboot.
