Wol Euler: my god, corvi.

Corvuscorva Nightfire: good. Hope yours is?
Zon Kwan: life is good
Wol Euler smiles.
Zon Kwan: anything on your minds ?
Wol Euler: coffee and sunshine on mine :)
Corvuscorva Nightfire: the sound of my neighbors late night party.
Zon Kwan: oh
Wol Euler: ah :(
Zon Kwan: thats not fun
Corvuscorva Nightfire: it's okay...I'm awake. They aren't being too loud, just being outside.
Wol Euler: still, it's whatever time of the morning this is.
Corvuscorva Nightfire: I'm same as California right now.
Wol Euler: eh, not that late then. I hope you don't have to work tomorrow morning?
Corvuscorva Nightfire: no, not til the afternoon shift.
Wol Euler: good

Corvuscorva Nightfire waves to Stevie.
stevenaia Michinaga: wave to Corvi and wol
stevenaia Michinaga: *waves
stevenaia Michinaga: so nice to see you
Corvuscorva Nightfire: and you...* grins and oggles the flesh that threatens to flash through the dress*
stevenaia Michinaga: I must have been woken by your presence here (4:18 am here)
Corvuscorva Nightfire: must have been it! I'm relaxing toward sleep.
Wol Euler: hello steve
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, a new aquisition, I've been shopping
Corvuscorva Nightfire: heehee

Agatha Macbeth: Hi Woolie Steve and Zon
Agatha Macbeth: Woolie?
Agatha Macbeth: :p
Corvuscorva Nightfire giggles.
Wol Euler: furry, not wooly :)
Agatha Macbeth: I only just woke up
Wol Euler: heheh
stevenaia Michinaga: me too
Agatha Macbeth: So how you Corv? How's Arizona?
Corvuscorva Nightfire: Rather lovely this time of year.
Wol Euler smiles.
Agatha Macbeth: Warm too I'll bet
Corvuscorva Nightfire: not cold...except a bit north of here.
Agatha Macbeth munches her crumpets
Agatha Macbeth: Glad everything is going well anyway
Corvuscorva Nightfire smiles.
Agatha Macbeth: Wow, been a long time since I saw so many here at this hour
Agatha Macbeth: Usually just Wol and me :p
Corvuscorva Nightfire: it's Stevie's dress, I think.
Wol Euler: yep, and sometimes not even you :)
Agatha Macbeth: Ah, could be
Wol Euler: must be that, yes, the radiance
Agatha Macbeth: True
stevenaia Michinaga: attractes frm afar?
Corvuscorva Nightfire: yep..that's my theory.
Agatha Macbeth: Certainly eye catching
Agatha Macbeth: Is it an Eshi?
stevenaia Michinaga: meanwile in RL I'm watching a video about Dark Retreats
Agatha Macbeth: Sounds good
Zon Kwan: whats that
stevenaia Michinaga: http://www.thirteen.org/forum/topics...s/20/#comments
Wol Euler: oh?
stevenaia Michinaga: something Paradise mentioned in last night's session
Zon Kwan: wont go into that
Wol Euler: is it really what it sounds like? you sit in the dark for N days or years?
Agatha Macbeth: Ah Bon, heard of that
stevenaia Michinaga: weeks, in this case
stevenaia Michinaga: it;s all new to me
Wol Euler: I remember the men who were trapped in that mine in South America for -- I think one week? who had medical problems with their vision when they were brought to the surface
Wol Euler: no, surely far longer than one week
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, sometimes years
Agatha Macbeth: They were down there a long time I seem to recall
stevenaia Michinaga: not sure who feeds them

--BELL--

Agatha Macbeth: Wonder what Plato would have made of sitting in a cave that long?
Corvuscorva Nightfire: hahahah
Wol Euler: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Co...ining_accident
Zon Kwan: he would have said..get out
Wol Euler: 69 days underground.
Wol Euler: probably
Wol Euler: I'm sure they are right about the effect of sensory deprivation on perception
Agatha Macbeth: 69 days Jeez
Wol Euler: that's why it is used as a torture tool in some places
Agatha Macbeth: An invouluntary retreat
Corvuscorva Nightfire: I think..if I understand correctly..that it's used to heighten perception after..to make people more sensitive to sensation.
Agatha Macbeth can't spell this early in the day
Zon Kwan: hm
Corvuscorva Nightfire: which makes sense of it being used as a retreat perhaps.
Zon Kwan: doesnt like extremes
Agatha Macbeth nods
Agatha Macbeth: Well it's certainly one way of 'dropping the world' I guess
Zon Kwan: just close your eyes
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, that seems to be much of waht he says
Agatha Macbeth: Not for 69 days :p
stevenaia Michinaga: new clearity and accepting emerges
Agatha Macbeth: I can imagine
stevenaia Michinaga: assuming you know will be out eventually
Agatha Macbeth: Must remember to mention sensory deprivation to Fox next time I see her
Wol Euler nods.
stevenaia Michinaga: is she here much?
Agatha Macbeth: Sadly no :( RL is very busy atm
Agatha Macbeth: But she still attends the dream workshop on tuesday occasionally
Wol Euler: she seldom manages to attend the dream workshop these days
Wol Euler: heh
stevenaia Michinaga: rl prevent out "Dark Retreat"here
Agatha Macbeth: Might mention it to Max on tuesday
stevenaia Michinaga: 90 seconds at a time
Wol Euler: it is an interesting concept, I'll watch that this evening
stevenaia Michinaga: let me retype.. RL prevents her from attending our Dark Retreat here
Wol Euler: thanks for the clarification :)
Agatha Macbeth: RL is a pain
stevenaia Michinaga: my cat is walking on my hands
Agatha Macbeth: Awww
Agatha Macbeth loves cats
Wol Euler: awwwwwwwww
Corvuscorva Nightfire smiles.
stevenaia Michinaga: my car seems to enjoy being with me in SL, sits between me and my keyboard (on my arms)
Corvuscorva Nightfire: heh...he needs an avatar
Agatha Macbeth: Wouldn't it be better in the garage? :p

--BELL--

stevenaia Michinaga: makes note... sleep in green pajamas
Corvuscorva Nightfire: why Stevie?
stevenaia Michinaga: (watch video to understand)
Wol Euler: ah
Agatha Macbeth: 'Shark infested custard'
Wol Euler: I suppose if the Mormons can have magic underwear, the Bon-ists can have green pyjamas
Agatha Macbeth: Indeed
Agatha Macbeth: And the Bon people don't even knock your door and annoy you
Corvuscorva Nightfire smiles. Okay...the Bon and ya'll's spirits have created the right atmosphere of relaxation
Agatha Macbeth: Yay
Corvuscorva Nightfire: such that I am sleepy.
Agatha Macbeth: Aww
stevenaia Michinaga: smiles, night Corvi
Corvuscorva Nightfire: G'night....it's green pyjama time.
Wol Euler: yay
Agatha Macbeth: Sleep well babe, take care
Wol Euler: goodnight, sleep well
stevenaia Michinaga: my sum will rise in an hour or so
Agatha Macbeth: Come and see us more often
stevenaia Michinaga: son
stevenaia Michinaga: sun
stevenaia Michinaga: ops
Wol Euler: yes, please do
Agatha Macbeth: Son Sun sounds like a cambodian politician
Corvuscorva Nightfire nods...I will.
Corvuscorva Nightfire: g'night.
Agatha Macbeth: :)
Agatha Macbeth: Hugs
Agatha Macbeth: Well that was a good start to the day :)
Wol Euler smiles.
Agatha Macbeth: Can't remember how long it's been since I saw her
Wol Euler: several ages
Agatha Macbeth: Truly
Wol Euler: though not geological ones
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
Agatha Macbeth: Fortunately not
Agatha Macbeth: Oh, we lost Zon...
Wol Euler: yeah, I noticed that when corvi left.
Wol Euler: he tends to come and go without warning
stevenaia Michinaga: he here often at this time?
Agatha Macbeth: He likes to sneak in an out unannounced I think :p
Agatha Macbeth: Actually not, I don't think
Agatha Macbeth: More usually it's QT
Wol Euler: he comes irregularly
Wol Euler: less often than qt though, yes
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe it's his age :p
Wol Euler raises an eyebrow.
Agatha Macbeth whistles
Wol Euler chuckles.
Agatha Macbeth: Anyway....
Agatha Macbeth: Work today Wollie?
Wol Euler: yes, very soon
Wol Euler: I'll have to leave at 11 to start getting ready
Agatha Macbeth: Aww, give em hell
stevenaia Michinaga: me too, after I go back to sleep
Agatha Macbeth smiles
Agatha Macbeth: Sleep is something I don't have a prob with
Agatha Macbeth: Waking up, yes
Agatha Macbeth: Usually takes about an hour at least
Wol Euler: not hell today, we are driving out into the country to look at the site of our next competition
Wol Euler: a church hall
stevenaia Michinaga: I can wake right up, usually the problem
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Wol Euler: followed by a walk in the woods and a picnic
stevenaia Michinaga: nice agenda
Agatha Macbeth: Lovely
Agatha Macbeth: Hope the weather holds
stevenaia Michinaga: work.. then feast
Wol Euler: looks to be a wonderful day, warm and sunny
Wol Euler: unseasonably warm
Wol Euler: actually

--BELL--

Agatha Macbeth: Well I seem to need the toilet, so will go and park myself for the guardian meeting later
Wol Euler: all right, and I'm off
Agatha Macbeth: Take care folks
Wol Euler: take care, my dears, be happy and productive
stevenaia Michinaga: night, good to see you
Agatha Macbeth waves
Wol Euler: bye!
