ShinjuJin Resident: it is.... quite a new aesthetic to get used to
ShinjuJin Resident: really neat and colorful
ShinjuJin Resident pans around
Bleu Oleander: it will be fun to see what everyone does!
Bruce Mowbray: Has anyone figured out what the plank on the roof is for?
Bleu Oleander: Xiri joined the group
Bleu Oleander: to sit up there
ShinjuJin Resident: saw the email just now, that's great
Bruce Mowbray: to sit on the plank?
Bleu Oleander: take the elevator up
Bleu Oleander: on the roof
ShinjuJin Resident: Oh so this is a pavilion and a ride ^^
Bleu Oleander: yes
Bruce Mowbray: yes, I see that one can sit on the roof, but does the plank have something to do with that?
Bleu Oleander: take a ride
Bleu Oleander: when you take the elevator up use plant to walk to roof
ShinjuJin Resident: I like the way these columns are done
ShinjuJin Resident: reaching out
ShinjuJin Resident: up
ShinjuJin Resident: and interesting little side circle over there
Bruce Mowbray: (can't sit on the plank.)
Bleu Oleander: side circle is the elevator
ShinjuJin Resident: ooh
Bleu Oleander: sit on the couch and ride up
Bleu Oleander: there ya go!
ShinjuJin Resident: oh, haha
ShinjuJin Resident: well that took playfulness
Bleu Oleander: lol
Bruce Mowbray: 's current display-name is "Bruce".
Bleu Oleander waves to Bruce on the roof
ShinjuJin Resident: fascinating. Darren had fun with this
Bruce Mowbray: (should have brought my bathing suit... looks good for sunbathing up there.
ShinjuJin Resident: "_
Bleu Oleander: :)
ShinjuJin Resident: :)
ShinjuJin Resident: How is everything else going?
ShinjuJin Resident: I haven't had a chance to wander... unexpected visitors over the last few days, then flu before
Bruce Mowbray listens.
Bleu Oleander: great here :)
Bleu Oleander: busy busy busy :)
ShinjuJin Resident: nice :) interesting salons?
Bleu Oleander: always :)
ShinjuJin Resident: ever have a salon that you wished you hadn't?
Bleu Oleander: interesting question but really no
Bleu Oleander: always get something from them
Bruce Mowbray wonders if Qt knows what a salon is.
Bleu Oleander: even if not my point of view on something
ShinjuJin Resident: wow, wonderful
Bruce Mowbray: (Not the same thing as a saloon, Qt.)
Bleu Oleander: gathering for conversation and performance
Qt Core: i'm wondering
Bruce Mowbray: :)
Bruce Mowbray: Maybe Bleu will explain for us
Bleu Oleander: we gather people a dozen times a month for interesting conversation and/or performance
Bleu Oleander: that's a nutshell version :)
ShinjuJin Resident: a dozen a month?
ShinjuJin Resident: @@
Bleu Oleander: yes
Bruce Mowbray: once every 2 1/2 days?
Bruce Mowbray: wow.
ShinjuJin Resident is now really amazed we ever see Bleu ^^
Bleu Oleander: we know a little about a lot of things lol
Qt Core: ok
Bleu Oleander: yes, hard to surface hehe
ShinjuJin Resident: :)
Bleu Oleander: did manage to start Art of Being though
ShinjuJin Resident: you mean here already?
Bleu Oleander: started the art gallery
Bleu Oleander: yes
ShinjuJin Resident: looking forward to seeing
Bleu Oleander: 3 levels so far hehe
ShinjuJin Resident: lol
ShinjuJin Resident: so far
Bleu Oleander: notecard in the sign with tp's
Bleu Oleander: lol
Bleu Oleander: starting a show and wiki page to document our pavilion project
Bleu Oleander: so wiki page started
Bleu Oleander: under "events"
ShinjuJin Resident: marvelous. my younger daughter popped up last night (she lives elsewhere) but will be going home tonight, so hope I might get in to explore
Bleu Oleander: and art gallery show started
ShinjuJin Resident: I did see the wiki page
ShinjuJin Resident: that's helpful
Bleu Oleander: will be nice to keep a record
Bleu Oleander: also for when we vote
ShinjuJin Resident: definitely
ShinjuJin Resident: not going to be an easy decision...can tell already
Bleu Oleander: we might decide we like a new one every month lol
ShinjuJin Resident: exactly!
--BELL--
Bleu Oleander: its such a fun process
Bleu Oleander: to create context
ShinjuJin Resident: was talking with someone about the manners around formal tea tastings and other such occasions... that even if not a judging, the best guest is considered someone who gives not just compliments but feedback.... I was a little surprised by that
ShinjuJin Resident: but perhaps 'formal' is the distinction
Bruce Mowbray gives feedback at a formal tea ceremony?
Bleu Oleander: makes sense in a way
ShinjuJin Resident: well yes I think it is that it shows they really bring all of themselves to the event and activity
Bleu Oleander: I like feedback especially if given genuinely
Bruce Mowbray nods, starts to get the point.
ShinjuJin Resident nods...
Bleu Oleander: the worst is if someone just gives an obligatory compliment not from the heart
Bleu Oleander: like "that's nice"
ShinjuJin Resident: lol, or "how unusual!"
Bleu Oleander: or "interesting"
ShinjuJin Resident: :) said in a sing song
Bleu Oleander: hehe
Bruce Mowbray: would such feedback be offered as a commentary upon the ceremony itself, or upon the tea, or what?
ShinjuJin Resident: I think it would be the entire environment
Bruce Mowbray: hmmm.
ShinjuJin Resident: because tea tasting doesn't really stop and end in cup
ShinjuJin Resident: the tea is everything
Bruce Mowbray nods.
ShinjuJin Resident: but then I think back to events that I've had, especially when young and first having events...
ShinjuJin Resident: and the worst feeling was actually someone who would ask "but where is..."
ShinjuJin Resident: or "what about..."
Bleu Oleander: :)
Bleu Oleander: or why didn't you ...
ShinjuJin Resident: and I would be there, too late to do anything about what was missing..
ShinjuJin Resident: yes!
Bleu Oleander: or "we usually do it another way"
ShinjuJin Resident: haaha yes
ShinjuJin Resident: everyone tends to have sensibilities they grew up with
Bleu Oleander: or "interesting you chose to do that"
ShinjuJin Resident: hahahah
Bleu Oleander: a million lines ha!
Bruce Mowbray: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24VtH7pZWWE
ShinjuJin Resident clicks
ShinjuJin Resident: oh wait... forgot no sound
ShinjuJin Resident: will have to watch later
Bleu Oleander: for later :)
Bruce Mowbray: no sound for moi either.
ShinjuJin Resident: ah
ShinjuJin Resident: I remember one of the first events with my then inlaws... I was trying to help and picked up a jar of pickles and came to ask which plate to use. my mil shreeked so loudly that everyone looked, "We can't put that on the table!"
Bruce Mowbray: oh dear.
Bleu Oleander: lol
ShinjuJin Resident: and I didn't bother to correct her, but later in life I've looked back at is as the funniest moment
Bleu Oleander: i'm sure that made you feel good .... !!!
ShinjuJin Resident: on it as*
ShinjuJin Resident: omgoodness I was mortified
ShinjuJin Resident: it took me years to try to help again
Bleu Oleander: I can imagine
Bruce Mowbray: why couldn't you put pickles in a plate on the table?
ShinjuJin Resident: she saw the jar
Bruce Mowbray: I mean what's wrong with that?
Bleu Oleander: oh my lol
ShinjuJin Resident: thought I was going to put a jar of pickles on the formal table, heheh
Bruce Mowbray: oh,now I see.
ShinjuJin Resident: well, exactly... not the biggest sin one could commit
Bleu Oleander: pickle ediquette
ShinjuJin Resident: even if horrifying from her end
ShinjuJin Resident: :)
Bruce Mowbray nods. . . . I tried to regard other people's reactive notice as they are problem, not mine.
Bruce Mowbray: try*
Bruce Mowbray: reactiveness*
ShinjuJin Resident: yeah... I was terrified of her... think Judy Dench
ShinjuJin Resident: lol
Bruce Mowbray: [pokes the Dragon...]
Bleu Oleander: oh my gosh
Bruce Mowbray: yes, I'm getting a clear picture now.
ShinjuJin Resident: :)
Bleu Oleander: not exactly the mil you want!
Qt Core: i used to have lunch with my cousins on boxing day (the same with i had lunch and dinner on christmas) and after all that formal time i always tryed for the unusual form and recipes
ShinjuJin Resident: so many neat things about her but a look that could make concrete
ShinjuJin Resident: traditional recipes Qt?
Bruce Mowbray: that sounds really good to me, Qt.
Qt Core: sometimes traditional but from others traditions, at least, or from other times/places
Bruce Mowbray nods, lovely.
ShinjuJin Resident: since you cook well are you often host?
Qt Core: i'm rarely host, lesser and lesser with time
Bruce Mowbray nods, me too, Qt.
Bruce Mowbray: (fortunately.)
ShinjuJin Resident nods...me too but feeling an itch lately
Bleu Oleander: me three :)
Bruce Mowbray: :)
Qt Core: this boxing day tradition died with my mother health decreasing and my cousins leaving home
Bleu Oleander: I used to cook a lot and host
--BELL--
ShinjuJin Resident: ah, nods.. times and seasons
Bleu Oleander: don't seem to have so much time lately
Qt Core: me and my mother had the most fun in researching for the recipes, sometimes we started in early october
Bleu Oleander: I love to cook, mainly because I love to eat lol
Bruce Mowbray: You know, Aphrodite plays hostess every week in her Italian Villa sim.
Bleu Oleander: yes
ShinjuJin Resident: heeh Bleu
Bleu Oleander: nice community there
Bruce Mowbray: of course, one is expected to dress for the occasion . . . 18th-century dress that is.
ShinjuJin Resident: I've visited a few times ... it really is immersive
Bleu Oleander: somehow I don't relate to that part :)
Qt Core: wonder how a 18 century paesan would be taken ;-)
ShinjuJin Resident: now I'm getting conditioned... fell silent right away upon text... except that at first it was a jetpack notice
Qt Core: a trek uniform and a space anomaly may be acceptable ?
Bruce Mowbray just noticed for the first time that his eyes change color when he puts on his eighteenth century coat.
Qt Core: space/time
ShinjuJin Resident: I don't think so Qt... Boxy came once but I think it was on the down low lol
ShinjuJin Resident: can't invite bunnies etc
ShinjuJin Resident: maybe for events
Bruce Mowbray nods. it's a role-play sim -- Aph's I mean.
ShinjuJin Resident nods
Qt Core: the theme being 18th century italy ?
Bruce Mowbray: Yes, that's it.
Bruce Mowbray: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24VtH7pZWWE
ShinjuJin Resident: the strong boundaries do create a very distinct experience
ShinjuJin Resident: its own world
Bruce Mowbray: ooops! wrong paste.. Here....
ShinjuJin Resident: (will remove with posting)
Qt Core: tryimg to remembering history of those times, little principates, several areas under spain domain (maybe)
Bruce Mowbray: ty. I can't seem to get Aph's LM to work.
ShinjuJin Resident: still called wesphalia?
ShinjuJin Resident: ty Bruce.. see name has changed
Bruce Mowbray: I couldn't get it to show up in chat, so I just gave each of you my LM to Aph's place.
ShinjuJin Resident: Aph Rocca Sorrentina, Villa Vesuviana
Bruce Mowbray: btw, Aph will be flying to Rome this week.
ShinjuJin Resident: yes, read that!

ShinjuJin Resident: Darren's always been great with those
Bruce Mowbray does not feel particularly dainty . . . wonders why.
Mediterraneanmonkseal Resident: is this Darren part of pab?
ShinjuJin Resident: I like the text too - "we've arrived!"

Mickorod Renard: i think mine will be very simple
Mickorod Renard: like me
Bleu Oleander: let me know and I'll put you on the schedule Mick
ShinjuJin Resident: so nice to take the time to taste each one :)
Bruce Mowbray: From a distance, this pavilion almost looks like a spaceship . . . but the stained glass brings it back to Earth.
