Wol Euler: dead for a few decades now, but I guess she's fine
Agatha Macbeth: Aww
Agatha Macbeth: Fruity lady
Agatha Macbeth: And you look very rosy
Wol Euler: Spring!
Agatha Macbeth: Boing
Wol Euler: though in fact I notice that they seem to be dead roses. Hmmmm. This outfit isn't what I thought it was
Agatha Macbeth: Ah, so it's masquerading
Wol Euler: hmmmmmm
Wol Euler: this won't do
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe you have greenlfly?
Agatha Macbeth: I really like that Indyra place
Agatha Macbeth: Turns out I already have something from there

Wol Euler: and re boobs: you'll just have to take the rough with the smooth
Agatha Macbeth: Hehe
Agatha Macbeth: Smooth indeed
Wol Euler grins.
Agatha Macbeth: Just had visions of Storm turning up on a whim and ejecting you
Wol Euler laughs.
Wol Euler: do people get ejected for nakedness now?
Wol Euler frowns.
Agatha Macbeth: Oh I dunno
Agatha Macbeth: I don't have much on myself come to that
Wol Euler: the bits are at least covered
Wol Euler: Respectability is Maintained.
Agatha Macbeth: Some bits eh?
Agatha Macbeth: Hope your head is better now
Wol Euler: yes, thanks. It was an odd two days or so
Wol Euler: I slept all afternoon on wednesday or whenever that was, from lunchtime to early evening
Agatha Macbeth: Par for the course then :p
Agatha Macbeth: Rip van Wollie
Wol Euler: alas no
Wol Euler: I'd love to sleep all afternoon all the time
Agatha Macbeth grins
Agatha Macbeth: I'm suprised you don't have a whole catalogue of dreams with all this shuteye
Wol Euler: that surprises me too actually, it#s odd how few I remember
Agatha Macbeth: Only the ones with railway stations perhaps
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: well, come on, railway stations!
Wol Euler: stands to reason, dunnit?
Agatha Macbeth: I try not to
Agatha Macbeth: :p
Wol Euler: you sit while you reason? I suppose taht works too
Agatha Macbeth: You can get arrested for that sort of thing
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe it's different in Sweden
Agatha Macbeth: (Toilet at the next bell)
Wol Euler gets the cameras ready.

--BELL--

Agatha Macbeth: Back
Agatha Macbeth: That's a weight off my, er, mind
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: what did you do on May Day?
Wol Euler: morris dancing?
Wol Euler: may pole decorating?
Agatha Macbeth: Gardening
Agatha Macbeth: Somehow apt
Wol Euler nods.
Agatha Macbeth: That's when the weather here actually allows you to do it of course
Agatha Macbeth: I had to turn this headdress upside down because my feathers disappeared under my hair
Wol Euler chuckles.
Wol Euler: works fine this way too
Agatha Macbeth: Yes I like it
Agatha Macbeth: Makes me look like Pocohontes or something
Wol Euler nods.
Agatha Macbeth: Or Montzuma's daughter
Wol Euler: nah, you'd have more gold for that one
Agatha Macbeth: Yah
Wol Euler: and chains, and bloodstains from all the human sacrifices
Agatha Macbeth: Chains would be pretty cool ;-)
Agatha Macbeth: Not sure about bloodstains
Agatha Macbeth: Would need to go to a vamp place for that
Wol Euler smiles.
Agatha Macbeth: Actually, can't remember last time I got a bite request
Agatha Macbeth: Looks like the vamps are leaving SL too
Wol Euler: no, nor I. It seems to have faded away
Agatha Macbeth: Nothing to get their teeth into I guess
Wol Euler: *rimshot*
Agatha Macbeth: *romshit*
Wol Euler: are the books still selling?
Agatha Macbeth: Books?
Wol Euler: vampire stuff
Wol Euler: surely you heard of that?
Agatha Macbeth: I've no idea
Wol Euler: wow
Agatha Macbeth: Van Helsing?
Wol Euler: no, new, recent, the vampire trend shit
Agatha Macbeth: Must have missed that
Wol Euler: can't imagine how. At least in Germany it was ubiquitous
Agatha Macbeth: I need to get around the belfries a bit more perhaps
Wol Euler: "twilight"
Agatha Macbeth: Zone?
Wol Euler: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_%28series%29
Wol Euler: no, vampires

--BELL--

Agatha Macbeth: Sounds like it's been done before
Wol Euler: there was a point when three of the five were on the German bestseller list simultaneously
Agatha Macbeth: Go figure
Agatha Macbeth: Where's Barnabas Collins these days? ;P
Agatha Macbeth: And Daphne
Wol Euler: who are they?
Agatha Macbeth: Oh you don't remember that series from the early 70s?
Agatha Macbeth: Bit like the Addams family
Agatha Macbeth: What was it called?
Agatha Macbeth: Something shadows I think
Agatha Macbeth: Kate Jackson was in it, pre-Charlie
Wol Euler: nope, never heard of that
Agatha Macbeth: Actually I only watched it because of her <chortle>
Wol Euler: Dark Shadows, google says
Agatha Macbeth: Yes!
Agatha Macbeth: That's the one
Wol Euler: the actor who played Barnabas died in 2012 aged 87
Wol Euler: (it says here)
Agatha Macbeth: As I recall Christians objected strongly to showing such things to kids
Wol Euler: well, some christians object to educating children at all
Agatha Macbeth: Hehe
Wol Euler: "keep them dumb and compliant"
Agatha Macbeth: Saves them venting their spleen on the LGBT community anway :p
Wol Euler: "ignorant people are easier to mislead"
Agatha Macbeth: True that
Agatha Macbeth: Look at Hitler
Agatha Macbeth: Hope you don't get hay fever wearing that
Wol Euler: okay so far :)
Agatha Macbeth: Or wasps
Wol Euler: I guess the butterflies are wafting the pollen away
Agatha Macbeth: Little wafters
Agatha Macbeth: Work today?
Wol Euler: only housework
Wol Euler: so no
Agatha Macbeth: That's bad enough
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: at least I can stay home
Wol Euler: and nap between loads
Agatha Macbeth: And fall asleep
Agatha Macbeth: Yeh
Wol Euler: seriously, don't you plan your naps in advance?
Agatha Macbeth: Mm, no
Agatha Macbeth: They just happen
Wol Euler: well, if it works for you ...
Agatha Macbeth: Seems to
Agatha Macbeth: Must be a z-thing
Wol Euler raises an eyebrow.
Wol Euler: say what?
Agatha Macbeth: Zzzz
Wol Euler: ah
 

--BELL--
 

Agatha Macbeth: How's family?
Wol Euler: declining slowly and decently
Wol Euler: Mom is making herself sick with guilt and worry and overwork
Agatha Macbeth sighs
Agatha Macbeth: She probably needs to to the work to take mind off stuff
Wol Euler: perhaps
Wol Euler: but there might be a point halfway between where she was distracted but not working herself to death.
Wol Euler: perhaps
Agatha Macbeth nods
Wol Euler: anyway, nothing to be done about it
Agatha Macbeth: Still sad tho
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: it is
Agatha Macbeth: But all part of the process I guess
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: I find myself taking refuge from the sadness in anger.
Wol Euler: rather than facing it
Agatha Macbeth: Everyone copes with things differently
Agatha Macbeth: Some just get drunk :p
Wol Euler nods.
Agatha Macbeth: No Shige this morning?
Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident's current display-name is "Curious Foo".
Wol Euler: nope
Agatha Macbeth: Hello Foo
Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: hello guys ;)
Wol Euler: hello foo

Wol Euler: *here* not at teh cafe

Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: about talsk here
Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: talks
Wol Euler: have you had a formal introduction and were you asked about publishing on our wiki?
Agatha Macbeth: You know about the recording?
Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: yes,i heard about it...
Wol Euler: and did you agree? :)
Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: i wasnt talking with anyone about this so i dont know
Wol Euler: okay
Agatha Macbeth: The LL terms of service require you to give consent to being recorded :p
Wol Euler: no they don't
Agatha Macbeth: OK
Wol Euler: they require us to obtain it
Agatha Macbeth: They don't
Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: you must explain it to me but i just have to run noww

Wol Euler: it's not a problem
Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: must go
Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: ...
Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: ...
Wol Euler: ah :) okay then
Agatha Macbeth: Now look what you did :p

I'd like to mention in my defence that Foo contacted me later to apologise for leaving in a hurry because he had to go to a RL event and his driver was sitting outside honking the horn. But perhaps I have been doing this for too long.

Wol Euler: awwwww
Wol Euler pouts.
Agatha Macbeth: You really need to be gentler with people
Wol Euler raises an eyebrow.
 

--BELL--
 

Wol Euler: are you taking the piss again or was that really harsh?
Agatha Macbeth: No, just an observation
Agatha Macbeth: You made it sound like you were giving a lecture
Wol Euler: hmmmmm
Agatha Macbeth: Or a policeman saying 'you can't park here'
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe you've been in Germany too long :p
Wol Euler: in a place where people care about words? maybe
Agatha Macbeth: Yes
Agatha Macbeth: Plus people are more used to being treated like they're in the army there
Agatha Macbeth: It's a cultural thing
Wol Euler: perhaps. To me, your statement was false and I was attempting to correct it.
Wol Euler: [02:13] Agatha Macbeth: The LL terms of service require you to give consent to being recorded :p
Wol Euler: this is false, they do NOT compel him
Wol Euler: they compel us
Agatha Macbeth: Well technically yes
Agatha Macbeth: But we're not in a court of law here :p
Wol Euler: true enough. Maybe I've been doing this too long
Agatha Macbeth: Well, you did what was right
Wol Euler: maybe I should just shut the fuck up and see what happens
Agatha Macbeth: But could have done it differently
Agatha Macbeth: No, technically you were right all the way
Agatha Macbeth: All I'm saying is people react better by handled in a certain way
Agatha Macbeth: More low key if you like
Agatha Macbeth grins
Agatha Macbeth: Anyway you can make it up to him on tuesday
Wol Euler: or I could just let it go and not give a damn
Agatha Macbeth: But would that make you feel better?
Wol Euler: no, because it leaves Pema and I open to sanctions from the Lab if people complain about being quoted without permission, because somebody else was too lazy to ask
Agatha Macbeth: True
Agatha Macbeth: But is that really the issue here?
Wol Euler: yes
Agatha Macbeth: Not that you feel bad about it?
Wol Euler: well, clearly not. What do you think is the issue here?`
Agatha Macbeth: That you feel bad about it
Wol Euler: I feel bad about misunderstandings, yes. I feel bad about accidentally upsetting people
Agatha Macbeth: There you go then
Wol Euler: and I suppose I am also annoyed that things which have possible serious consequences for Pema and I are not taken seriously by anyone but me
Wol Euler: it's easy for others to say "nothing will happen" when it's not their accounts on the line
Agatha Macbeth: Well maybe we need to bring that up in the appropriate place
Agatha Macbeth: There isn't a GM tomorrow is there?
Wol Euler: no idea
Agatha Macbeth: No, I on't think so
Agatha Macbeth: Or mention it in email if you want
Agatha Macbeth: I'm sure Liz will read this anyway :p
Wol Euler waves.
Agatha Macbeth: Hehe
Agatha Macbeth: Plus remember English isn't Foo's first language so he may have been confused about exactly what you were saying
Wol Euler: which is exactly why I care so much about using the right words.
 

--BELL--
 

Wol Euler: anyway
Wol Euler: what the hell
Wol Euler: whatever
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, whatever
Agatha Macbeth: Right, shopping time
Agatha Macbeth: Clean well
Wol Euler: will do
Wol Euler: shop well
Wol Euler smiles.
Agatha Macbeth: Bye for now
