    ShinjuJin Resident: Hi Storm
    Storm Nordwind: Hello ShinjuJin


    ShinjuJin Resident: how are ya doing?
    Storm Nordwind: Not too bad thank you. And you?
    ShinjuJin Resident: pretty well, thoughtful today
    Storm Nordwind: I guess that one up on thoughtless! ;-)
    ShinjuJin Resident: :P
    ShinjuJin Resident: took a dear friend to the hospital, to take her dad off of life support. He seemed so small
    Storm Nordwind: Ah... that is a moving occasion.
    ShinjuJin Resident: dad was center of family... only one everyone talked to
    Storm Nordwind: When the hub is gone, what will the spokes do?
    ShinjuJin Resident: that's the question, and the thoughtfulness

    ShinjuJin Resident: you know, the two daughters, and the mom... none of them can really hug
    Storm Nordwind: It is a lost and precious art
    ShinjuJin Resident: was like statues, and they really need to embrace one another
    Storm Nordwind: Suddenly they have to find themselves. Perhaps they defined themselves previously, to themselves and others, by a relationship. Now they may need to start anew. So it can be an opportunity. At least that is to be hoped.


    ShinjuJin Resident: from your lips...er, fingers
    CuriousBeing Resident: hi
    ShinjuJin Resident: Hi Curious, good to see you again
    ShinjuJin Resident: Hi Vorder
    Storm Nordwind: Hello CuriousBeing
    CuriousBeing Resident: nice to be here and to see you all
    Vorder Forder: hello all
    Storm Nordwind: Hello Vorder
    Vorder Forder: hello Storm
    ShinjuJin Resident: hm, how to describe what we were talking about ...
    Vorder Forder: loud meditation?
    ShinjuJin Resident: :)

    Storm Nordwind: We can start anew. :-)
    ShinjuJin Resident: let's
    ShinjuJin Resident: what floats up tot he surface for everyone today? any questions or noticings?
    Vorder Forder: do you have a topic or is it floating?
    ShinjuJin Resident: no particular topic
    Vorder Forder: the pool is there what are we wating for?
    ShinjuJin Resident: lifeguard?
    Vorder Forder: the pool is not very deep....I think
    Vorder Forder: but I say let´s jump
    ShinjuJin Resident: smiles
    CuriousBeing Resident: don't want to get my boots wet :)
    Vorder Forder: or getting wet in a fog

    --BELL--

    Vorder Forder: thank you
    ShinjuJin Resident: you too
    Vorder Forder: how did you spend that 90 secs
    Vorder Forder: ?
    ShinjuJin Resident: I am seriously approaching these pauses now, clearing the space
    ShinjuJin Resident: no browsing, with fingers or without :)
    ShinjuJin Resident: others?
    Vorder Forder: around the circel in 90 sec
    Vorder Forder: I agree

    CuriousBeing Resident: trying to pause simply, but many interruptions
    Vorder Forder: very important interruptions
    CuriousBeing Resident: can be :)
    Vorder Forder: so be it
    ShinjuJin Resident: I notice my mind look for something to lean on and there is a choice whether to do so

    ShinjuJin Resident: Hi Agatha
    CuriousBeing Resident: hi Agatha
    Agatha Macbeth: Evening all
    Vorder Forder: hello Agatha
    Storm Nordwind: Hi Aggers
    ShinjuJin Resident: How's the day Aggers?
    Agatha Macbeth: Hm, 24 hours?
    ShinjuJin Resident: :P
    Agatha Macbeth: Or did they shorten it?
    CuriousBeing Resident: seems shorter these days
    Agatha Macbeth: Does to e yes
    Agatha Macbeth: and me
    Vorder Forder: very short on my side
    ShinjuJin Resident: no rule that you have to count all 24.. can choose to have a 23 hr day and leave an hour out... or 90 seconds
    ShinjuJin Resident: creative accounting
    Agatha Macbeth: Which we did in October of course
    CuriousBeing Resident: :)

    Agatha Macbeth: Maybe time's a fluid thing
    Agatha Macbeth: Shame Pema's not here
    Vorder Forder: line or a circel?
    ShinjuJin Resident: went to see Interstellar, which tried to grapple with the question of whether time is a thing
    Agatha Macbeth: And is it?
    Vorder Forder: what did you think about that film?


    CuriousBeing Resident: I saw that as well, did you like it?
    ShinjuJin Resident: bit of a mess but had interesting parts
    CuriousBeing Resident: yes
    Vorder Forder: a bit to long but good idea
    Agatha Macbeth still never got round to watching Il Mare
    Vorder Forder: I liked it
    Storm Nordwind: I never venture to cinemas any more.
    ShinjuJin Resident: Agatha, Il Mare is on youtube, at least in the US... wonder if you can see it that way
    Agatha Macbeth: Hm
    Vorder Forder: they had a fight on the glacer that part was not doing anything for the story
    Agatha Macbeth: I'll look
    ShinjuJin Resident: The film felt like a bunch of different films in one
    Vorder Forder: that part was filmed not far from where I live
    ShinjuJin Resident: really?
    Vorder Forder: fight in any form never helps not i even in a film
    Agatha Macbeth: Land of fire and ice

    ShinjuJin Resident: Do you watch films at home though, Storm?
    Storm Nordwind: Rarely. There is little attraction for me generally. And the fuss has died down by the time they arrive free on cable.
    ShinjuJin Resident: what does it take to get Storm interested in a film?
    Storm Nordwind: Hmm... no idea. I would have to have nothing else to do, I guess. And there is always something else to do. :-)


    ShinjuJin Resident: :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Isn't there just
    CuriousBeing Resident: lots of choices
    ShinjuJin Resident: for me I want something to push me to the edge of my thinking

    --BELL--

    Agatha Macbeth: Just don't fall off
    Vorder Forder: you don´t have to wear a
    Vorder Forder: what is the world the for thing you use jumping from a plane
    Vorder Forder: paracude
    Vorder Forder: a yes I think that is the word
    ShinjuJin Resident: chute
    Agatha Macbeth: Paracude is a good word
    Vorder Forder: you don´t need that thing
    ShinjuJin Resident: an experience I have only had in SL
    CuriousBeing Resident: like jumping with attitude - paracude
    ShinjuJin Resident: ha ha
    Agatha Macbeth: Yeh
    Storm Nordwind: Aha you mean parachute. :-)
    Agatha Macbeth: Hoping for a soft landing

    Vorder Forder: there is no ground
    Vorder Forder: without paracute
    Agatha Macbeth: There is no spoon
    ShinjuJin Resident: "thought that is nowhere supported"
    Agatha Macbeth: We regret that thought is no longer supported: please upgrade
    Vorder Forder: no spoon needed
    ShinjuJin Resident grins, exactly
    Agatha Macbeth: Thought 2015 maybe?
    ShinjuJin Resident: thought 3000
    Agatha Macbeth: Well that's planning ahead
    Agatha Macbeth: Future proof so to speak
    Storm Nordwind: Oh Hal. Just make it 9000 ;-))
    Agatha Macbeth: Yay
    ShinjuJin Resident: aha :)
    Agatha Macbeth: This is highly irregular Dave
    Storm Nordwind chuckles
    Agatha Macbeth: ♫ Daisy Daisy ♫

    Vorder Forder: this was very local who is Dave?
    Agatha Macbeth: Mr Bowman
    Vorder Forder: I can´t see anyone by that name
    Agatha Macbeth: 2001


    CuriousBeing Resident: smiles
    Agatha Macbeth: Space oddity
    ShinjuJin Resident: :)
    Vorder Forder: what do you think about that Billð
    Vorder Forder: ?
    Agatha Macbeth: Open the pod bay doors Hal
    Vorder Forder: Bill?
    Vorder Forder: don´t be shy Bill
    Agatha Macbeth: Is he a Viking?
    Vorder Forder: no no
    Vorder Forder: Álfur
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh him
    ShinjuJin Resident: time, a space oddity
    Vorder Forder: elf
    Storm Nordwind: In Icelandic.
    Vorder Forder: yes Álfur
    Vorder Forder: álfur
    Vorder Forder: same as elf

    ShinjuJin Resident: the scenes in the film were haunting... desolate vistas. Do you feel that near where you live Vorder?
    Vorder Forder: ummm I don´t have to go far for that feeling
    ShinjuJin Resident: fascinating. Is it something you seek out sometimes?
    Storm Nordwind does not recall ever feeling desolation. Always, it seems. life teems.
    Agatha Macbeth: There's no I in teem
    Vorder Forder: yes of course
    CuriousBeing Resident: lol
    ShinjuJin Resident: Life teems! love that

    --BELL--

    Storm Nordwind: that is profoundly true Aggers! :)
    Agatha Macbeth nods
    Vorder Forder: Wormhole is being used today
    Vorder Forder: ?
    ShinjuJin Resident: appreciated
    Vorder Forder: are you sure
    ShinjuJin Resident: not often :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Holes are curious things
    Vorder Forder: going back in time or into the fugture
    Agatha Macbeth: Lots in Blackburn I hear
    Storm Nordwind smiles
    Storm Nordwind: Though they're rather small, Aggers ;)
    Agatha Macbeth: They are indded
    Agatha Macbeth: But they still had to count them all
    Vorder Forder: oh
    Storm Nordwind: Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.
    Agatha Macbeth: Yep
    Vorder Forder: hehe
    ShinjuJin Resident: I'd love to tell you all...
    Vorder Forder: Albert Hall
    Agatha Macbeth: The hole story
    Vorder Forder: yes

    Agatha Macbeth: Wonder how that thing on the comet's doing?
    Vorder Forder: why don´t you?
    Storm Nordwind: Hello Korel
    ShinjuJin Resident: Hi Korel
    Korel Laloix: Osiyo
    Agatha Macbeth: Hello K
    CuriousBeing Resident: its sleeping I think
    Agatha Macbeth: Aha
    CuriousBeing Resident: hi Korel
    ShinjuJin Resident: listening to the lullabye
    ShinjuJin Resident: (sounds recorded from comet)
    Agatha Macbeth: Sounds like....
    ShinjuJin Resident: crickets sort of?
    CuriousBeing Resident: teeming with life?
    Agatha Macbeth ponders comet crickets
    ShinjuJin Resident: !

    Vorder Forder: my wormhole is open at the moment I am going to jump....thank you all and take good care
    ShinjuJin Resident: take care Vorder

    Agatha Macbeth: Be careful in there Voder
    Agatha Macbeth: Who knows, he might meet Dave Bowman
    CuriousBeing Resident: or Cooper
    ShinjuJin Resident: may or may not return to tell us about it
    Agatha Macbeth: Alice?
    CuriousBeing Resident: her too
    Agatha Macbeth: Down the wormhole
    ShinjuJin Resident: alice 3000
    Agatha Macbeth: Alice bot
    ShinjuJin Resident: :)
    Korel Laloix looks up Dave Bowman

    CuriousBeing Resident: Shinjujin are you enjoying your new facade?
    ShinjuJin Resident: I am, would like to experience more, hope to
    ShinjuJin Resident: you?
    CuriousBeing Resident: yes its somewhat interesting
    ShinjuJin Resident: I feel stronger, scrappy
    ShinjuJin Resident: what have you noticed?
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh my
    CuriousBeing Resident: mostly just hard to follow the log
    Storm Nordwind: scrappy?
    Storm Nordwind: As it in spoiling for a fight?
    ShinjuJin Resident: a little tougher, and not exactly spoiling for a fight but up to it
    CuriousBeing Resident: I feel a bit quieter
    ShinjuJin Resident: like I could handle a climb

    Storm Nordwind: If you changed your avatar but kept your name, would you feel the same?
    CuriousBeing Resident: no
    ShinjuJin Resident:  quieter because of difference following the log?
    CuriousBeing Resident: the name is the thing for me
    ShinjuJin Resident: I did that a few times, and yes i agree the name is BIG
    ShinjuJin Resident: and the commitment to stick with it a while
    Storm Nordwind: Your name ShinjuJin, is perhaps what empowers you. That is why I asked.
    CuriousBeing Resident: not sure how long I will

    --BELL--

    ShinjuJin Resident: may be. I quite like the name, although it wasn't what I set out for, and was a long collaborative process between SL and I to finally arrive here
    Storm Nordwind: If you kept the same avatar but changed the name to Nancy Gentlefeather (or something) I wonder if you'd feel so "scrappy".
    CuriousBeing Resident: should see if ScrappyBeing is available :)
    Storm Nordwind chuckles
    ShinjuJin Resident: ha ha ha
    ShinjuJin Resident: fluffy wunderkinds
    Agatha Macbeth: Erk

    ShinjuJin Resident: Do you feel more curious, Curious?
    CuriousBeing Resident: not really, just quieter
    ShinjuJin Resident: I feel allowed to take more time now, but I am not sure if that is the change, or Storm here as co-host
    ShinjuJin Resident: likely both
    ShinjuJin Resident: clock slowed a little
    Agatha Macbeth: Wind it up maybe?

    Storm Nordwind is reminded that as co-host he should apologize in advance for his non-attendance next week, as it is Thanksgiving in the US.
    ShinjuJin Resident: Oh, yes :)
    ShinjuJin Resident: no worries, hope you have a wonderful holiday
    Agatha Macbeth: What are you giving thanks for exactly?
    ShinjuJin Resident: I am not sure of my plans yet... kids are away
    ShinjuJin Resident: always something, Aggers?
    ShinjuJin Resident: teeming life?
    Agatha Macbeth: Who'd be a turkey

    CuriousBeing Resident: general gratitude
    CuriousBeing Resident: too much to enumerate
    ShinjuJin Resident: indeed, but a good exercise to try
    CuriousBeing Resident: yes
    CuriousBeing Resident: try to do that often
    Agatha Macbeth: Doesn't Canada have on in a different month?
    Agatha Macbeth: one*
    ShinjuJin Resident: different day, but I am not sure about month
    Storm Nordwind: October 13 this year
    Agatha Macbeth: Probably giving thanks for something different
    Agatha Macbeth: Like snow
    Storm Nordwind: (Second Monday in October.)
    ShinjuJin Resident: I think I will make a point of stretching to limits with attempts to enumerate, as a practice this year
    CuriousBeing Resident: nice write down actually
    ShinjuJin Resident: nice idea
    CuriousBeing Resident: find at least one new thing each day
    CuriousBeing Resident: could be nice to do as a wiki 99 day thingy

    ShinjuJin Resident: there is an exercise I do from time to time but hadn't done in a year, of "writing how your life seems at this moment" then stopping and just sitting for an hour or three, without writing or anything. Then, afterward, writing again. I can't explain why but it is always a profound experience
    ShinjuJin Resident: that isn't a bad idea at all = 99
    CuriousBeing Resident: will try that
    Agatha Macbeth loves a 99 in the summer
    ShinjuJin Resident: Was something Stim suggested years ago and I've kept it up
    ShinjuJin Resident: :)

    ShinjuJin Resident: time to go... chinese food getting very cold :)
    CuriousBeing Resident: ok nice to see you all
    ShinjuJin Resident: am thankful to see you all
    Storm Nordwind smiles
    Agatha Macbeth: Cute boots
    Agatha Macbeth: Take care
    CuriousBeing Resident: bye all
    ShinjuJin Resident: take care
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh your hair is different K
    Korel Laloix: Yes it is.. smiles
    Agatha Macbeth: I got used to the blue look
    Korel Laloix: Gift from a friend... so tring it out.
    Agatha Macbeth: Nice
    Korel Laloix: Wish my hair could have this much body RL.
    Agatha Macbeth grins
    Storm Nordwind: Age and change of diet has robbed my hair of its body this year.
    Korel Laloix: If I did this to my RL hair it would be arrow straight again in a couple of hours.
    Agatha Macbeth: Goes well with the feathers
    Korel Laloix smiles

    --BELL--

    Korel Laloix: Been wearing a lot more in RL recently.
    Korel Laloix: Talking point at work if nothing else.
    Agatha Macbeth: I can believe it
    Korel Laloix: I have these holders made of silver on a beaded small pipe like this one... and with a clasp I can change the feathers whenever I want or get new ones.
    Agatha Macbeth: That must look amazing
    Korel Laloix: The look is not the really important part on some though... I wear the feathers from my totem when in the right mood, and some of those are not bright or interesting really.. visually at least.
    Korel Laloix: Spiritually though, it can be a real lift.
    Agatha Macbeth: I can believe it

    Korel Laloix: So you have anything you wear or keep with you that has a spiritual presence for you?

    Agatha Macbeth: That's an interesting question
    Agatha Macbeth: I never really thought about it
    Agatha Macbeth: Sadly I need to visit the RL toilet and do a few things...
    Korel Laloix: ok.. SMILES
    Korel Laloix: OK.. smiles
    Agatha Macbeth: Have fun and be good
    Storm Nordwind: Bye for now!
    Korel Laloix: Take care.. thanks for the book reference.. I will see if I can buy it for my tablet.
    Korel Laloix: ciao bella
    Agatha Macbeth grins
    Agatha Macbeth: Books are way better than kindle
    Agatha Macbeth: Bye Stormy
    Korel Laloix: Yes.. but I am cheap.
    Storm Nordwind: ha - yes!
    Korel Laloix: Ciao
    Korel Laloix: Back to RL for ma as well.
    Agatha Macbeth is old fashioned
