[01:18] Wol Euler: hello hana! congratulations and welcome home :)
[01:18] Hana Furlough: Good morning, Wol!
[01:18] Hana Furlough: Thank you!
[01:19] Hana Furlough: are you surviving the heat?
[01:19] Wol Euler: barely :( I hate summer
[01:19] Wol Euler: I really think I will have to move, this is so unpleasant
[01:19] Hana Furlough: oh no!
[01:19] Hana Furlough: where are you thinking to move?
[01:19] Wol Euler: but I don't know where to go

[01:19] Wol Euler: no plan, just a vague feeling
[01:20] Hana Furlough: that's as good as any plan
[01:20] Hana Furlough: perhaps better

[01:20] Wol Euler: summer in Saskatchewan is close to ideal for me: 25°C max, low humidity, gentle winds
[01:20] Wol Euler: but I don't think I could work there
[01:20] Hana Furlough: sounds nice
[01:20] Hana Furlough: much like parts of the sf bay area
[01:20] Wol Euler: and I'm no more likely to win the lottery this summer than ever before :)
[01:21] Hana Furlough: hehe
[01:21] Wol Euler smiles.

[01:21] Wol Euler: funny what people choose to complain about. Some people leave Saskatchewan because of the winters, I contemplate moving there because of the summers :)
[01:21] Hana Furlough: to be honest, i was never a fan of summers in the bay area
[01:22] Hana Furlough: too much fog
[01:22] Hana Furlough: granted, kyoto is the opposite extreme
[01:22] Hana Furlough: but i do enjoy a little warm weather
[01:23] Wol Euler: *warm* is fine :)
[01:23] Wol Euler: just *warm* is lovely in fact

[01:23] Wol Euler: hello chameleon
[01:23] Chameleon Hermit: hi...
[01:23] Wol Euler: what an amazing skin
[01:23] Chameleon Hermit: wat is this place?
[01:23] Hana Furlough: hello chameleon!
[01:23] Chameleon Hermit: thank u
[01:23] Wol Euler: I'll give you a notecard and a brief intro :)
[01:24] Chameleon Hermit: hi hana
[01:24] Chameleon Hermit: ok
[01:24] Hana Furlough: wow nice av
[01:24] Wol Euler: this is a meditation and discussion group called Play as Being
[01:24] Chameleon Hermit: i just dun wanna be human in this world
[01:24] Wol Euler: we gather here 4x a day (most days) to talk about meditation practices and other matters, and sometimes just to chat
[01:25] Chameleon Hermit: oo... a spiritual group?
[01:25] Wol Euler: that notecard gives you the basics about what we do, and a link to our website http://wiki.playasbeing.org/
[01:25] Wol Euler: mmhmm

[01:25] Wol Euler: well, for certain values of "spiritual", depends how you want to define thtat
[01:25] Wol Euler: we are non-denominational, not explicitly religious
[01:25] Hana Furlough: that has a nice ring to it
[01:25] Chameleon Hermit: i see...
[01:25] Wol Euler: we record these meetings and publish them on our website so that absent members can read what was said.
[01:26] Chameleon Hermit: interesting
[01:26] Wol Euler: May we have your permission to include your SL name and your comments in the record?
[01:26] Chameleon Hermit: sure..
[01:26] Wol Euler: thank you
[01:26] Chameleon Hermit: btw, dun mind my profile..
[01:26] Chameleon Hermit: i'm far from wat i seem to be
[01:26] Wol Euler raises an eyebrow.

[01:27] Wol Euler: understood, but perhaps you might consider bringing those two into agreement with each other. Just a thought :)
[01:27] Chameleon Hermit: my real self and my false persona?
[01:28] Chameleon Hermit: haha... i can.. but something is holding me back
[01:29] Chameleon Hermit: 4.30pm in my place.. 1.30am SL time..
[01:29] Wol Euler: atlantic coast of America, then?

[01:29] Chameleon Hermit: singapore
[01:30] Chameleon Hermit: the tiny dot

[01:31] Wol Euler: sorry, I misread that, thought you had said 4am
[01:32] Hana Furlough: did the air clear up there at all?
[01:33] Chameleon Hermit: no..
[01:33] Chameleon Hermit: still hazy
[01:33] Chameleon Hermit: but improved
[01:33] Hana Furlough: oh that's good
[01:33] Hana Furlough: hope it gets better entirely

[01:34] Wol Euler smiles.

[01:37] Hana Furlough: did you both have a good solstice?
[01:38] Wol Euler: oh damn damn damn and damn, I missed it *again*
[01:38] Wol Euler: the gatsby moment
[01:38] Chameleon Hermit: huh??
[01:38] Hana Furlough: i almost missed it! but then the 7 a.m. group reminded me
[01:38] Wol Euler: Daisy asks Nick "Do you always watch for the longest day of the year and then miss it? I always miss it."
[01:38] Hana Furlough: strangely, i felt it got dark early
[01:38] Hana Furlough: ahh i see
[01:39] Hana Furlough: : )
[01:39] Wol Euler: it was a good day, some work stress but no more than usual given the stage of work we are at
[01:39] Hana Furlough: the less stress the better
[01:39] Wol Euler: agreed
[01:40] Wol Euler: well, two more weeks and it will be over (for this time)
[01:40] Hana Furlough: oh good!

[01:40] Hana Furlough: hang in there!
[01:40] Wol Euler smiles.
[01:44] Wol Euler: so, Wi, do you ahve a meditation practice?
[01:45] Wol Euler: (sorry)
[01:45] Chameleon Hermit: tough..
[01:45] Chameleon Hermit: my mind is restless
[01:45] Chameleon Hermit: the heat here is dstracting..
[01:46] Chameleon Hermit: i'll read the website..
[01:46] Wol Euler nods.
[01:47] Wol Euler: we were talking about summer heat as you arrived actually
[01:47] Wol Euler: complaining, in fact :)
[01:47] Hana Furlough: haha yes!

[01:48] Hana Furlough: although it's pretty cool here right now

[01:50] Chameleon Hermit: ^ ^
[01:50] Wol Euler: O.O really?
[01:51] Hana Furlough: yeah

[01:51] Wol Euler: my gods it seemed only a few hours ago that I looked up at the newish moon and thought "two weeks to full"
[01:51] Wol Euler sighs.
[01:51] Hana Furlough: yes
[01:51] Wol Euler: this is awful

[01:52] Hana Furlough: seems just yesterday it was a crescent
[01:52] Wol Euler nods.
[01:52] Hana Furlough: but tonight we can enjoy it
[01:52] Wol Euler: I shall hope for clear skies
[01:52] Wol Euler: for all of us
[01:53] Hana Furlough: yeah, we've got a lot of clouds right now, but some clear patches

[01:54] Chameleon Hermit: i gotta clean the fan..
[01:54] Chameleon Hermit: afk mode
[01:55] Chameleon Hermit: afk
[01:55] Hana Furlough: happy cleaning
[01:55] Wol Euler smiles.

[01:56] Wol Euler: [01:21] Hana (hana.furlough): to be honest, i was never a fan of summers in the bay area [01:21] Hana (hana.furlough): too much fog [01:22] Hana (hana.furlough): granted, kyoto is the opposite extreme [01:22] Hana (hana.furlough): but i do enjoy a little warm weather
[01:56] Wol Euler: could you expand on "kyoto is the opposite", hana?
[01:57] Hana Furlough: oh it's incredibly humid and hot in the summer
[01:57] Hana Furlough: like 38 degrees with high humidity
[01:57] Hana Furlough: in a basin
[01:57] Hana Furlough: it's insane
[01:57] Hana Furlough: not as humid as taiwan, but close to it
[01:58] Hana Furlough: hard to appreciate much of the time

[01:59] Wol Euler: wow, very much like here then
[01:59] Hana Furlough: then you know the feeling!
[01:59] Wol Euler: the air gets trapped in the valley and just *bakes*
[01:59] Hana Furlough: yes!
[01:59] Hana Furlough: and it often gets hotter at night
[02:04] Wol Euler: yes, amazing how that ahppens
[02:04] Hana Furlough: for sure

[02:05] Hana Furlough: i should get going
[02:05] Hana Furlough: i'm off to meet a friend for dinner in an hour

[02:05] Wol Euler: bye hana, take care and enjoy dinner
[02:06] Hana Furlough: thank you!
[02:06] Hana Furlough: bye!
[02:06] Wol Euler: actually I should go too, this shopping/laundry/cleaning won't do itself
[02:06] Hana Furlough: haha
[02:06] Hana Furlough: enjoy!
[02:06] Wol Euler: chameleon, nice meeting you. enjoy the weekend
