Rabbit Hole Updates February 9, 2010

Well, the picture of the cute rabbit couple I’d just checked up on 2 weeks ago is gone in Blackmount, replaced by this ominous, dork-like object — same spot. Almost looks like the new object is being bent into the hole through some unknown gravitational pull.

Compare to some of the images in this video, if you wish.

Just for the record, this rabbit picture had been located on this spot since at least last August. Same person appears to own the land. Why the switch in objects at this location all of a sudden??

A day or two earlier I “accidentally” created a new SL desktop background on the home computer, making an eye-in-hand Second Life shortcut logo already present on the desktop appear just below a hole I photographed that reminded me of the Rabbit Hole (several sims away from this much smaller hole). Below is an edited version of the screen shot, focusing on the hole. Thought it odd at the time but didn’t understand the meaning. But now: was it a foreboding of the dorky object that similarly appeared, in mysterious fashion, next to the actual Rabbit Hole? Good chance.

But maybe it’s not as much a phallic object as just something being bent toward the hole, which, if so, would be the same as a black hole, as portrayed in the 3d Homer episode.

It might also be related to the Pie Hole of Big Island, covered or marked by a Tron video arcade game.

Also perhaps worthy of noting is that the SL logo here is superimposed with a shield the four colors of TILE — red, green, blue and yellow.

And that’s not all I’ve found out. The dimensions of the opposite side of the Rabbit Hole, in Ulyanovsk Oblast, have been altered: although it appears to be the same depth as before, the hole is markedly narrower and the pool of water at the bottom smaller.

More as I come up with it.

Update, 6:55am:

Well, I’ve admitted in this blog that I’m not the most observant person in the world, but when 2+2 stares me in the face long enough, I can’t help but realize it represents the number 4. And I think that’s exactly the case we have here: 2 pairs of rabbits equals 4 rabbits total, and part of the same equation operating acausally across space/time. The first pair is found in this photograph that *use* to stand directly north of the Rabbit Hole at Blackmount — male and female obviously here.

The *second* pair has just been created almost next to my Aotearoa property, just over the line in an Otaki Gorge 512 parcel that, until only a couple of days ago, was the site of Lark Blackheart’s small gallery instead. We again have an obviously female rabbit (head), coupled with what could be a male, topiary counterpart.

This subject is discussed here, and below is a pertinent photo from that post.

A possible clincher that the two are related? Well, as demonstrated in the below snapshots, the rabbit head topped store in Otaki Gorge and the 1 prim dorky looking thing that *replaced* the picture of 2 rabbits in Blackmount were created on *the same day* (2/4/10) — even within 2 hours of each other.

Just to complete, the topiary rabbit head next to the store was created 2/7.

So let’s go along, if even for a bit of fun, with the idea that the 2 pairs of rabbits I’m describing here are one and the same, and that the 2d bunnies of Blackmount somehow magically shifted over to Otaki Gorge and assumed 3d form, to put it simply enough, or at least the part above their torsos. 2 plus 2 does equal 4. What could this possibly mean?

Admittedly I’ll have to think about it.

Further thoughts for now:

* both pairs of rabbits are out of line with each other, although the 2nd pair (Otaki Gorge) do not stare in different directions like the 1st (Blackmount)

* both pairs of heads involved seem about the same relative distance apart

Stay tuned!

Notes… SID February 9, 2010

Hucka D., you stated here that we’ll start with Kansas City Life this time regarding a SID’s 1st Oz related interview, and equate it with Second Life. K.C. Life is used to strengthen the Kansas side of Dark Side of the Rainbow over the Oz side. This makes it (exactly length) 13 over the (exact length) 12 of the Oz Part. This is non-corrupted as opposed to corrupted.

Hucka D.:

Jeogeot is Wazob is SID’s 1st Oz…

bb (continuing):

That somehow the centered *hole* of Kansas City Life, exactly two minutes long and overlapping Zappa’s 200 Motels psychedelic Centerville with the first two minutes of Lou Reed’s notorious double album, Metal Machine Music…

Hucka D. (continuing on his own track):

You have forgotten Sapphire and let Nick of Barkley take over. You must achieve Balance.

bb:

You said this allowed the *second*, the other, to move in. This hole to be filled. In 2001. (repeating) This is Second Life.

Hucka D. (correcting):

Second Lyfe. Your Second Lyfe.

bb:

Jungian meaning of the phrase, then.

Hucka D.:

Yes. Jeogeot. (pause) Equals Wazob… (pause)

bb:

Equals SID’s 1st Oz. I know. (pause) What of Tronesis?

Hucka D.:

Lamb and Ram die together. Weakness becomes a strength (I assume Hucka D. is talking here about the rearranging of the 4 traditional sides of the Lamb Lies Down On Broadway album within the Tronesis synchronicity to make one of the strongest, if not the strongest, come last instead of first).

*****

bb:

Switching subjects for perhaps a moment, I have a feeling Wilma is attempting to read this blog now.

Hucka D.:

She will be. Jasper the Rook or Crow or Blackbird flew into the open window and began pecking on the 13th, the one before 14. Baker’s Dozen.

bb:

That’s the one which outlines the 10 collages of the Jasper series, Hucka D.

Hucka D. (mysteriously/fasciciously):

Yes, I know.

bb:

Was she able to make sense of it?

Hucka D.:

Hard to tell yet. A BROOK runs through it.

bb:

What does that mean? (pause) BROOK equals ROOK?

Hucka D.:

Blackbird. CHRO (spells this out).

bb:

Blackbird come out of the sky? Frisbee?

Hucka D. (still quoting Tronesis):

“Suddenly…”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ekGp4JoBl8

bb (pondering):

… Well, I’m going to keep on reading down the (new) SID’s 1st Oz catageory of this blog, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

I’ll wait.

*****

bb:

Hucka D., obviously an important subject for this point of the blog is the discussion of Piedmont, degradation of Peter’s Mound or Pete’s Mound or Petemond. (pause) Was the Cross of the Lamb — another Tronesis related subject, it seems — the creation of another reality superimposed on supposedly rl reality? In the shape of this cross with arms 44 years apart?

Hucka D.:

You know in your heart it is. 1974.

bb:

To weasel our way into a SID’s 1st Oz discussion we must first pass through Tronesis.

Hucka D.:

Good enough. What happened in the Newton (Jasper County, Illinois) library in 1886? Michigan was found… St. Michigan. Head without a body. Brainard. Ray? Could be. St. Joseph’s becomes St. John’s and done. Church of the Holy Hermaphrodite founded. Adam and Lillith together again. Revelation… 1886. Then in 1930, in Lamb County, Texas, Peter is there again, a cowboy from Spade who attempts to save a whore in Hart by circling around the world in 7 minutes. 6 and 7; p’s and q’s. The Lamb lies down; a killer storm blows through. In 1974, Lamb Lies Down On Broadway was released, mainly composed by another Peter (Gabriel). Not made into a movie… (Hucka D. speaks dramatically here): or was it?? Lead character Rael is also found to be the same as a channeler at the time. In 2018, Peter the Robot who knows the total ins and outs or p’s and q’s of the Tronesis synchronicity has his pink beam epiphany. Then in 2062 the circle or cross is complete, with head swallowing tail. Cross of the Lamb is a Dunne deal. Peter Dunne.

bb:

We better end. Thank you.

Decisions, 02 February 8, 2010

Can you tell I’m a Gemini? Here’s my latest ideas: I’ve found I simply can’t give up the Pudding Hill parcels, or at least the two I rent from LaMa Estates. The upper one, or the “third” one as I’ve been calling it in this blog (one not rented from LE) will have to go, as I just learned today. No choice in that unless I want to buy the land. But I had made a decision to give it up anyway. So Pudding Hill will remain in the mix, yes, but only 2 1024 parcels instead of 3. Since I rent both from the same company I can combine the prim count and divided it between the parcels as I see fit. That’s an advantage and a twist.

Aotearoa, though, I believe — once again — has to go. Now I certainly can change my mind about this, but my window of decision has narrowed to a week now, at which time my rent will run up in Aotearoa. If this all comes to plan, and I think it will now, the Blue Feather Gallery will turn out to be more of a building experiment rather than a long term solution for a stable 10×10 gallery. Honestly, and I know it wasn’t practical for SL, but I liked the Big E gallery there more and the complexity involved. But I also realized it was too big and a little too “gawky”, shall we leave it. Blue Feather Gallery is certainly more streamlined, but, really, the collage series are more logically laid out in the cube form of the Edwardston Station Gallery. And I think *that* should be their final, virtual resting place, not the BFG, nor any other type of gallery they’ve temporarily resided in, no matter how much nicer it looks on the exterior. So that’s what I’m going to do: set up the Edwardston Station Gallery in Pudding Hill, maybe on the lower of the two parcels now. And with the extra prims I’ll have I can keep the “Down The Rabbit Hole” exhibit within, along with the Rabbit Hole tube connecting the two halves of this exhibit.

Another factor will be that I can certainly have the option to keep the Yd Island 1024 if I give up Aotearoa.

Speaking of the Rabbit Hole, new developments in that area of research for sure! I’ll leave that for another post, though.

“I’m running short on time tonight so I’ll just bring in Hucka D. and chat with him a bit now. Hucka?”

Hucka D.:

That was a close call! I knew you had to stay in Pudding Hill but I couldn’t directly influence your decision. You had to pass through Blue Feather Gallery [as it turned out]. And you’re staying on Yd Island — good. You can always rent more land later on. Other parts of the sinks will need to be healed. Sunklands. Spring *is* coming believe it or not. You will shift to rl more, then. Blue Feather Gallery was rather bad timing in that way. The October version of the ESG came at a better place. A similar buildup will occur later on. Maybe at Yeot??

bb:

Thanks for that Hucka D. I’m getting a lot of information about St. Nick of Barkley inside Big Sink, and how some type of split formed between him and who we’ve been calling St. Lemon of Troy. Care to elaborate any tonight?

Hucka D.:

St. Nick of Barkley was from Mythos, from Wazob. That made him unique. He left Sharon just as it was about to merge with Wazob, making the latter whole. This is like the situation in Texas in the mid-18th Century, a long time ago now. Texas had the choice to remain independent or merge with the U.S.

bb:

California as well, Hucka D.

*****

Hucka D.:

He (Barkley) knew that Jeogeot was another representation of Wazob, a more public space. He shifted his interests over to here. The decision of Wazob was not to have avatars as we know them enter that (more private) space. Ned of Barton came along to help him with his new life, a kind of vice-president of Sunklands. This later became St. Lemon?

bb:

I’m letting you tell me, if you wish.

Hucka D.:

Then that was so. St. Nick had access to information placing Ray the brainard in this valley at a certain, specific ancient time. Time travel was affected, even. Toys were invited in. Chilbo had the tree but Big Sink had the hole. Vortextra.

bb:

It’s my idea that St. Lemon of Troy, if he is the same as this Ned of Barton, didn’t approve of the centrality Big Sink brokered in Sunklands overall. He united the other sinks as one against this almost-monopoly of power. Blackmount Sink was one of these. He created the Rabbit Hole of Blackmount.

Hucka D.:

He was *shown* the Rabbit Hole. After that, Sunklands needed Blackmount. It briefly became the center but not for long. Same thing happened later with Otaki Gorge just east of Big Sink. Same thing happened in *Aotearoa*. Petemond became a center for a while. That was the compromise between Barkley and Lemon. It was not in Big Sink but it was not far away at all. Closer than Second Sink, but also in the direction of Second Sink. Sure you want to give up Aotearoa?

bb (without a beat):

Think so Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Good, then. I’ll say you’re making a very wise decision, then.

bb:

The pull away from Big Sink was a pull away from Brainard (again)?

Hucka D.:

Barkley became too — infatuated, shall we put it — with Ray. Ancient texts and all — buried his head in them. Head in the sand, some said. Not seeing the rise of Lemon’s power and influence with the other sinks. Not seeing that the leader is always a leader with a price. (quoting part of St. Nick of Barkley’s famous poem): Big valley, huge valley.

bb:

Ego problem, then.

Hucka D.:

In actuality, he and Brainard were very similar. Very.

bb:

The same? Time travel, perhaps? Reincarnation?

Hucka D.:

Yes. (pause)

bb:

Is St. Lemon of Troy the same as Peter the Good, a rabbit avatar perhaps?

Hucka D.:

Yes. Yes?

bb:

He became attached to a rabbit mythology at any rate.

Hucka D.:

He found or made popular the Rabbit Hole of Blackmount. He found the portal between hemispheres.

bb:

Jeogeot and Maebaleia.

Hucka D.:

Yes, good to reinforce that. And good to put the “Down The Rabbit Hole” exhibit in the ESG (Edwardston Station Gallery). And great to put the 10×10 at the very center of Big Sink. Do you think it could be a cube version of the spherical Brainard (if so)?

bb:

Dunno, Hucka D. — interesting.

Hucka D. (smiling):

Isn’t it.

bb:

I think this is a fascinating new development, this introduction of St. Nick of Barkley into the picture, who was actually a resident of Wazob…

Hucka D. (correcting):

Sharon… just before Wazob.

bb:

Right. Sharon, which then, after merging with Wazob, became the Chrysoberyl province of the country and assigned the letter “P”.

Hucka D.:

The last pea into the pod, yes. Sealed the dealie.

bb:

I have a feeling St. Nick of Barkley is going to say some interesting things soon (!)

Hucka D.:

Tonight, if you like.

bb:

Is he a spirit, like Sapphire[,then]?

St. Nick:

Ho ho ho! Found you. It was the cube of course. Putt it on in! (laughs).

bb:

St. Nick of Barkley, I presume?

St. Nick:

Ho ho ho! The same!

bb:

Was I a good boy this year, St. Nick? (laughs as well)

St. Nick:

You were a great little boy. Played the role to a tee, he he he.

bb:

Right, good one. Can you tell us about your existence in pre-Wazob Sharon and how you transitioned to Jeogeot?

St. Nick:

Ho ho. Well, that’s a big valley story. A catastrophe plowed the Big Sink and the others here but mainly the big one. A valley was formed, (with a) side for you and a side for me. As it always has been and always will be. There’s room for both.

Hucka D.:

St. Nick must get some rest tonight and so must you. And to all a good night!

bb:

Thank you both.

Nascera Expansion, 04 February 7, 2010

Newest picture of the Nascera continent expansion. Already it is quickly approaching the size of the smallest, present continents of Gaeta and Heterocera. For now, you can still clearly see the square extent of the original 64, now making up considerably less than half the total land.

And Baker was super pleased to see that whole sims have still been set aside in new development as buffering park regions, just as was the case with the original 64.

Moving to the southern part of the continent now, we have expansion in this direction of the fantasy themed region. The below ridge butts directly up against the west side of the old 64.

Interesting terrain just south of the channel running through the fantasy region, below the Bluebells sim. As of this writing, none of the new sims have specific names, nor can you teleport directly to them. Instead I, or Baker Bloch, had to teleport into the original 64 and fly into the newer regions.

While at the above location, Baker spotted an avatar hovering between two jagged hills directly in front of him, and decided, just out of curiosity, to see who it was. There weren’t many avatars in the new regions, and I think Baker had only encountered a couple of moles so far, busy making adjustments.

He focused in, and lo and behold the avatar turned out to be a JohnnyMac Lemmon, making Baker actually gasp at the time. Why the surprise? Well, it’s obviously a kind of mashup of names John Lennon and McCartney, and reference to these two names had *just appeared* on the cover of the newly minted second edition of Sunklands Today, a picture of which actually appears just beneath the photo below (if you’re viewing the blog from the home page). The specific reference is “What Marty Said; Lemon = Lennon?”. Marty, to remind regular readers, is a former spirit guide of the blog referred to as a Paul McCartney variant, with the name Marty being derived from an edited version of the letters of Paul’s surname. The name Lemon in this blog, according to Marty and perhaps Hucka D., refers directly, in turn, to John Lennon. Anyway, here with JohnnyMac Lemon, we have a eerily similar mashup of names McCartney and Lennon; hope you can grasp that queerness at least a bit.

Despite advertising himself as friendly and inviting others to say hi to him, Baker Bloch balked at direct contact. Best, he thought, just to take a picture and allow the associations to unfold within the blog.

Additional note: Mr. Lemmon apparently is staring directly toward the Bluebells/Corrigan ruins complex.

New Sunklands Today Edition February 7, 2010

Just a cover for now.

Go get your free copy at Sunklands Central today!

NOTE: We had to fire the old editor because of the misspelling of the word Sunklands on the first edition’s cover, along with the wrong date and wrong price. And the overuse of exclamation marks. Otherwise it looked great!!!!

OK, you guys are just f-ing with me now. Right? :-) February 7, 2010

See this post now for more information. And I’ve written a bit more description below as well.

This is apparently the former location of the Rina home store, a clothing outlet. I’m taking it that the new home is in Otaki Gorge, then.

Baker sits and essentially merges with the *3rd* bunny on the property. Is there some kind of direct relationship between Baker Bloch and Peter the Good, as Hucka D. has speculated about on this blog?

With a 96 meter draw distance you can just make out the top part of the female rabbit’s head under discussion from Peter’s Mound, also in the Otaki Gorge sim.

And with a 128 meter draw, both heads are clearly visible. To remind once more, Peter’s Mound has already been determined to be a grave of a rabbit or rabbit avatar *considerably before* the appearance of these 2 giant rabbit heads nearby.

Nascera Expansion, 03 February 6, 2010

More slopes in the northern part of the continent. But Baker is heading south again by now, toward the original 64 again.

A path piece in mid air.

I don’t think these type of paths were found in the older California modern sims. Nice addition. Despite the many disenting opinions, I feel the new continent has some really interesting promise, again taken for what it is.

The empty land, again, separating the old California modern region from the new California modern development to the north. Please make this a park, please make this a park, please…

Looking across the empty expanse to the original development.

Then on the west side of this empty area we find more Japanese themed houses, another expansion on the old 64 taking place on the west side of the continent and already reviewed here a bit.

Looking east from whence he came.

Nascera Expansion, 02 February 6, 2010

More snapshots from the burgeoning Nascera continent, now expanding in all directions.

To the north lies more California modern housing development. But first we have interesting, empty terrain beyond the upper border of the original 64 sims of the continent. I really, really hope they turn this large area into a park. We’ll see soon enough; new Linden homes are advertised to be available Feb. 17th, only a bit over a week away. I assume they’ll have all new land ready to go at that time.

More hills within the new California modern developement.

Interesting hollow of houses on the new, northern edge of the continent at sunrise, surrounded by treed slopes.

Another hill with a house apart from the rest.

I’ll let others give the details of the new houses, and if anything has changed from the originals. My focus is on the land itself, and any mythology that might be derived from a study of the continent.

I was pleased to see this larger tract of forested land within the housing developments.

A longer shot better showing the typical relation of houses and landscaping in the populated areas of the north, with most of the trees found on slopes separating the various housing “clusters”. Interesting.

More typical draw distance an avatar would use (96 meters), with “softer” terrain changes.
