Big E Gallery: Cutting Edge, 01 December 19, 2009

“Hucka D., I think I’m going to try something a little different for this photo oriented post. Ready?”

Hucka D.:

As I’ll ever be.

bb:

Let’s start, then, with the Wall of Ass. on the 15th floor, right at the top of the Big E.

Hucka D.:

First off, you need to clarify the difference between the Big E Gallery and the Big E.

bb:

The Big E is a 50 meter high giant E within the Big E gallery, which is a 60×60x90 meter rectangular box. The Big E Gallery takes its name from this “E”, which is fully visible within a large transparent section of the west side of the gallery. You can see it here. The Wall of Ass. lies on the next floor above the transparent section.

Hucka D.:

Alright. What’s in the Big E now? I know you had this set up at your Something To Chro About gallery in Healy this past summer.

bb:

It’s still a bit of a work in progress, Hucka D. The “Where are we on that?” exhibit occupies all the side floors below the first floor of the “E”. That exhibit, also housed in the CHRO gallery at one point, summarizes my SL existence up until my essential move to Jeogeot in May. That’s a dividing line.

Hucka D.:

True enough. You became a Jeogeotine, then. You found your true place in SL. S U N K L A N D S.

bb:

And this is what this cutting edge part of the Big E Gallery is all about. The continuing story of Jeogeot as I am experiencing it, and recording it through this Baker Blinker Blog.

Hucka D.:

The Big E within the Big E Gallery — still think you should call the overall gallery the Big Schwa Gallery, baker b.

bb:

I’ll think about it.

Hucka D.:

But the Big E is filled with the history of your interaction with the Jeogeot continent up to the discovery of Sunklands just past the first of August. Is that right?

bb:

Yes, because the Big E exhibit in Healy was set up at that time, just before I discovered the Sunklands, or Sunklands.

Hucka D.:

The move to Jeogeot in May was a pivotal point for you baker b. Sunklands is a part of that, but Sunklands is beyond the Big E, as I’m gathering.

bb:

We should also add that the Big E is a direct symbol of the Korean Channel of Jeogeot, which, first, Karoz was exploring in May-June 09, and then Baker Bloch took over to explore the rest in June. This switchover from Karoz to Baker Bloch is the same as the front (schwa) and back (e) of Big E itself. So in this way Karoz is the front of the E as it faces the outside from the gallery’s transparent part of the wall, and Baker is the back.

Hucka D.:

I’m assuming I can glean the nuts and bolts of this Korean Channel story by following the posts in this blog concerning that subject, earliest to latest.

bb:

Should be able to.

Hucka D.:

Now I’m looking at these [presently], and remembering how Karoz went up the Korean Channel, usually starting at the lower right sim of Xilted and moving up the coast, until one time he fell into a portal connecting Jeogeot with the next SL created continent of Maebaleia. The specific post I’m looking at is here. It looks like in the next post related to the Korean Channel subject, Karoz does manage to hike all the way up to the top of the channel, but this one where he moves to Maebaleia seems to be the switchover you talk about. Suddenly he finds himself in what we call the Blue Feather Sea of Maebaleia, its largest inland body of water. And then soon after this, as described in this post , he finds the Big E itself in the waters of the Blue Feather, a “dramatic re-creation” as it is called.

bb:

But it looks like *you* told him to call it this. And told me the same, thus the title of the post.

Hucka D.:

Anyway, Karoz didn’t immediately recognize the names of the sims on the Big E, because he was looking at the “e” side and not the “schwa” side, which he was much more familiar with, having hiked most of those sims now a number of times.

*****

The phantom side he was able to pass through to enter the interior of the Big E appearing in the Blue Feather Sea is the same one shown in the photo below, baker b. And that’s a picture of the Shamon island (Shamon Island?) to Baker ’s right, and almost the same size as the 2d version that appears on the cube face in front of him. Since Karoz’s visit to this island, it has become the office of Head Mole Michael Linden. You can see some of his stuff in the photo here. You need to think about that further, baker b. This island basically lies on the line separating the 2 sides of your Big E… my Big E as well.

So that’s step 1 in our examination here: to explain the two sides of this “e” and how it is divided between Karoz (front or schwa side) and Baker Bloch (back or e side). The next several posts of the Korean Channel subject of this blog give additional tidbits of this story. In this last and latest post on the subject as grouped in this category, we have the same top of Big E pictured — the Shamon island. This is a division between front and back.

Also we should explain Karoz’s limited circle of influence as superimposed on the Jeogeot continent as a whole. Here it is explained as Dark Side of Oz within Oz as a whole, and also Psychogumma within Psycho as a whole. We know this is the length of an album (Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon and Ummagumma respectively) within the length of a movie (The Wizard of Oz and Psycho), according to your early audiovisual synchronicity finds, starting with your unique take on Dark Side of the Rainbow as contrasted to the normal definition described in The Definitive List.

*Which* serendipitiously brings us to the next big subject: rabbits!

12/20/09:

bb:

We will continue, Hucka D. Now if you travel through the entire Big E or Big Schwa inside the Big E gallery — all 10 stories — you emerge at the top at the Wall of Ass., the first part of which is pictured below. Baker Bloch is staring directly at the representation of St. Lemon of Troy, the patron saint of Sunklands perhaps. This is to the far right of the Wall of Ass. Above it is a picture of Jack Nicklaus, once greatest world golfer — since usurped by Tiger Woods. We’ll get to Tiger in just a second. The transition between the two would be the *clothing* of Sunklands, formerly naked if not shivering. That would only come about…

Hucka D.:

When Chilbo itself was formed. Chilling the land. Clothes were needed afterwards. But this would, of course, still be Chilbol or Chilbolton or Chilbotown and not present Chilbo. Pre-Linden (grid), then.

bb:

I suppose the nakedness would be revealed as bad, then, by St. Lemon of Troy. It reminds me of the Garden of Eden, and God making Adam and Eve ashamed of their nakedness. As I’m reading now (in an online article), this climate was created after they partook of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge.

Hucka D.:

Direct link there, baker b. Keep going…

bb:

Well, St. Lemon, um, wrote his epistles or letters, which unfolded like a golf game through 18 holes. The playing of an 18 hole game of golf was like clothing oneself.

Hucka D.:

When *Woods* plays the 18 holes. Perfection. Better than Jack. Jack was seen as old and in the past. Nakedness. Something to be left behind and be ashamed of. The Great Bear or Golden Bear. But is this right? Was St. Lemon of Troy right to provide the good avatars of Sunklands with this knowledge — this fruit?

bb:

The lemon is the fruit in this case.

Hucka D.:

Yes. Lemons and limes. And oranges. Not apples?

bb (reading):

“Nudity on the beach is prohibited by…” Then it ends. Is this “God”, then?

Hucka D.:

The Bible is not God’s word. It is God’s word as interpreted by Man. It *covers* an older truth, just like Adam and Eve were themselves covered. Like the good avatars of Sunklands, then called Sinlands by some, or Sinklands. Sinking, sinking… gone, in their opinion. Lemon pulled them out, gave them clothes. Plaid was popular.

bb:

Let’s move, then, to the picture to the left of the “naked Nicklaus” where Tiger takes center stage. The picture was shot in what’s called the Redd Zeppelin, pointed out to me by Bacon Hellershanks, who is the gallery owner directly before Baker Bloch in this Art Galleries of Second Life list, now with way over 600 galleries included. Looks like in the meantime, though, a Badgirl Lyne has inserted herself between Bacon and myself — owner of Taijitu. Interesting. I gotta run over to Bacon’s gallery sometime soon and give him a 5 star rating, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Macon bacon.

bb:

Back to the Redd Zeppelin. I inserted a picture of a red clad Tiger Woods between Lennon and Marx, Groucho in this case. Karoz is staring directly at this central picture. We know that Lennon-Marx is a direct representation of the Rabbit Hole, Hucka D. (pause) Below this picture we have, then, a rabbit, or the figure of a rabbit. This is the cover of the Donnie Darko DVD. Or the official movie poster, I suppose. Within the figure of the rabbit we have the stars of the show, um, showing through. To its immediate right, we have a picture of an older Peter Graves, old like Jack Nicklaus, and also with a red shirt like both Jack and Tiger Woods. He has Donnie Darko rabbit eyes. Peter Graves stands for Peter’s Grave.

Hucka D.:

That would be correct. Peter Graves is Peter’s Grave, the one in Otaki Gorge. Peter’s Mound. The 18th hole.

bb:

Perhaps strange that in this blog I haven’t been able to complete the needed text for either of the Otaki Gorge related set of snapshots, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Then below Peter Graves and also Donnie Darko you have a picture of Peter’s Grave or Peter’s Mound itself, except the palm tree, the pin of the 18th hole if you will, is replaced by a mailbox that the Donnie Darko rabbit is standing next to. I think this collage was created on Halloween, baker b. A Halloween gift[, then].

bb:

Donnie Darko first encountered Frank the rabbit on a golf course, Hucka D. Don’t remember if the hole is named, though. He also finds the numbers written in magic marker on his arm when he wakes up the next day on the same hole. 28064212. Suppose that should be written 28:06:42:12, because it is a time. The time of the cycle of the moon, and the same as the time that Donnie Darko has to save the world by making sure he is himself killed. Moon, then, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

We should move to the next picture in your blog post.

bb:

Hucka D., I’m wondering if Peter the Rabbit, or the Peter buried in Peter’s Mound or Peter’s Grave in the Otaki Gorge, is the same as St. Lemon.

Hucka D.:

No. He’s not.

bb:

Oh. Peter lived in Noru, though?

Hucka D.:

We should move into the elements of this picture. We now see the maps of the Rabbit Hole, for there are 2 needed since it is located in 2 places at once — Jeogeot and Maebaleia (continents). So although the bottom map says “Second Hole” here and the top map has “Rabbit Hole”, they are actually one Rabbit Hole, or two entrances to the same hole. This is how St. Lemon himself moved from Maebaleia to Jeogeot to spread his word of anti-nudity and so on. His revelations.

bb:

The Revelations of St. Lemon of Troy, then.

Hucka D.:

Correct. The Bible. The Babble. King James Version of the Necronomicon. Mad Arab.

bb:

Alright… On the lower map there is a 41 or 47 pictured as well not far from the Rabbit Hole, part 2.

Hucka D. (correcting):

There are no “parts” to the Rabbit Hole. Only the whole hole.

bb:

That’s fine. The Maebaleia hole version, then. Is this a 41 or a 47?

Hucka D.:

It is both and neither. But, certainly, you were suppose to make the association or ass. with the Room 47 of The Rabbits. That’s coming up in an instant.

bb:

The reason we know this *has* to have something to do with Lemon, is because *Lenin* was born in Ulyanovsk Oblast in reality (or First Life), and the Rabbit Hole is in this same sim in Second Life.

Hucka D.:

First and Second Life at least.

bb:

This same play on words is created in the album How Can You Be In Two Places At Once by Firesign Theatre, Hucka D. Lennon is substituted for Lenin on that album, as Groucho Marx is for the communist Marx. Red or Redd equals communism, then, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

And Dr. Zhivago.

bb:

Then, to complete the pictures shown in this snapshot (below), we have a shot of the Rabbit Head in Villeneuve, more recently discovered (on Yd Island). We have already made the association between this mysterious Rabbit Head and the same pictured in the Donnie Darko movie poster, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

They are the same. You still only have 1 month to plumb the mysteries of Yd Island. You better get hopping!

bb:

Thanks for that reminder, Hucka D. I’m also starting to think that the Rabbit Head of Yd Island represents the rabbit of Donnie Darko *shot* (in the eye). That’s the reason for the red oaks on the island. A theory, anyway.

Hucka D.;

Next picture!

bb:

Well, here we see two stills from David Lynch’s INLAND EMPIRE, one of the Laura Dern character just before she dies in the movie — well, the movie within the movie. And then one of 3 rabbits, also a type of movie within the movie, I guess. A *very* complicated movie, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

It’s the greatest movie in the history of cinema, baker b.

bb:

You know, Hucka D., I don’t really doubt that too much. It’s as good as any.

Hucka D.:

There’s one other… guess we shouldn’t go there[, though].

bb:

Anyway, Laura Dern’s character has just been stabbed with a screwdriver, Hucka D. A *hole* has been made, and reinforced in other ways in the movie. Pomona is mentioned by the Asian whore while the Dern character is dying within the movie within the movie. This is, once more, the Rabbit Hole.

Hucka D.:

And Courtney Love’s Hole. They lived through it. I want to say that cuss word again…

bb:

Go ahead.

Hucka D.:

Nah, you go ahead.

bb:

The Rabbits of David Lynch’s INLAND EMPIRE mysteriously resided or reside in Room *47*, Hucka D., the same number that *might* have appeared near the Rabbit Hole of Maebaleia. Like you said, that ass. obviously should be made, even though it may look a bit more like a 41 than a 47.

Hucka D. (repeating earlier thought):

It’s both. And neither.

bb:

Then there’s a Courtney town in Love County, Oklahoma, Hucka D. “Courtney Love” again. We also know now, thanks to ESBUM, that The Rabbits lived or live in Oklahoma, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Yes.

*****

bb:

Oklahoma is Tiger?

Hucka D.;

It was red and it had something to do with the telling of time.

bb:

We better tackle the rest tonight, Hucka D. Let’s start from the far left, the end that matches the far right. This is a picture of St. Lemon of Troy again, but with the “lemon” behind his head now instead of front. According to [our] former thoughts, Hucka D., this lemon was shifted from front to back around a 1000 years after the saint’s death by citric acid overdose. Wonder if this has something to do with a front and back 9 now?

Hucka D.:

Yes, this is the front and back of the same representation. St. Lemon then enters First Life as St. John of Patmos. And this is where we can insert the Bunny Boy mythology in as well. This also reinforces that the bunny in question is a Bozo, baker b. It is from Sirius indeed. The Bozos knew about that as well as the Dogons.

bb:

Deep water there, Hucka D.! We better back up a bit.

Hucka D.:

Not as deep as it is on Sirius, my friend. That rabbit is from Sirius [I tell you]. 28 days to figure it out, baker b.

bb:

Well, we have to finish this post first before I can explore more of Yd Island, Hucka D.! So to complete we have the album cover of “Introducing Lemon” by Cheer Accident, but, as you might put it, no accident indeed that the album was named this, and with a picture of a man holding a trumpet in Sgt. Pepper style garb.

Hucka. D.:

No accident, no. [Not chance.] But Lemon or Lennon is instead holding a french horn on the Sgt. Pepper cover. It is instead neighboring Ringo Starr who is the trumpeter in the band. As Paul is the “I”, or the *Eye Star*, *see*, then Ringo is the “E” after the “I”, and then Lennon represents the “T”, transposed to a “V”. George is the “L” to complete. VILE. Or VEIL. But it’s also TILE, baker b. And that’s where [your] temple must figure in. Sgt. Pepper is the entrance to the temple. Solomon’s, but also others. Like yours. Deep.

bb:

And “love” is also pictured on the back of the Aoxomoxoa album by the Grateful Dead to complete. I should also clarify that the Beatles, to me, obviously want to imply the word LOVE through their hand positions on the back cover of the Sgt. Pepper album, Hucka D., with Ringo the “E”, Lennon the “V”, George the “L”, and then Paul as the completing “O”, the beginning and the end, or alpha and omega. I and O. IO.

Hucka D.:

And *we* better end as well. Thank you for talking to me about this, baker b.

bb:

You’re very welcome. Thanks very much to you as well.

And we thank *you*, Fleep!

Decisions… November 29, 2009

Baker spies a blackbird. Cheap optical illusion here, in case you didn’t guess.

Baker looks up at floating beach balls.

Baker and bird with yet another bird. Another black bird.

‘Nother view of a Pennyroyal sculpture in Scarpyland.

Crabwoo. No, Baker Bloch cannot probably live here. He prefers Teasdale for sure!

The Rabbit Hole on the Maebaleia continent, once more. “Wrapped in plastic” one could say.

Home, home again.

Black, White, Red [All Over]? November 19, 2009

Loose thoughts before perhaps bringing in Hucka D.:

The “E” shaped island in the Sea of Despair certainly means something. Gypsy Triplicate (as we’ll call the Collective Gypsy from The Moon who may be the same or an aspect of Karoz’s mother) may have practiced TILE, maybe as a counter to what her father was doing in Maebaleia at Crabwoo. She had the “Big E”, somehow (or “Big Schwa”).

What the heck. “Hucka D.?”

Hucka D.:

Present. She was a TILEist. Titlest. She had the ball, er, cube.

bb:

Joplin Ball?

*****

bb:

She had a blimp? Zeppelin?

Hucka D.:

It was called The Arab. Or Barracuda. Barracuda, I believe. Yes.

Hucka D.:

These are your gypsy sisters, baker b.

bb:

I see (!)

Hucka D.:

So there you have it. The gypsy sisters had a Zeppelin that was actually a Barracuda, which was then condensed as a Joplin Ball/Sphere and sent to Jeogeot. Why?

bb:

They had something to hide and they wanted to “Rock It?” [dunno]

Hucka D.:

Think. Think.

bb:

They had a ship… Barracuda. But it wasn’t a Zeppelin but it contained the Joplin Ball which could be unfolded as a Redd Zepppelin. The ball was the same as a Titlest… TILEist. Woods.

Hucka D.:

So it wasn’t The Arab here. It was the Barracuda.

bb:

Newton 09 and Jasper 09.

Hucka D.:

TILE. E. T.

bb:

Should we talk to [The Wilsons] as variants?

Hucka D.:

No. Plant will do for now. And Marty. And a dash of Lemon to liven up the Salad.

bb:

But this is what it means. The Wilsons. Maybe Wilsonia? [who has been called just Wilson, after all]

Hucka D.:

You can go ahead and tell Gypsy this. And you can return to The Moon and Gelsomina if you wish. Don’t be afraid. Through Karoz, I mean.

bb:

Thank you.

Loose Thoughts, then Hucka D., etc. November 17, 2009

Hucka D. has indicated that Gypsy, in triplicate form, is or was the last holdout to [him] owning all of Jeogeot and Maebaleia. The solution?: perhaps to separate The Moon sim (and attached Sea of Despair and Gelsomina) from the mainland, as it is now. But what does the triplicate form of Gypsy mean? I know in Karoz’s initial visit to The Moon, he found this tangle of “Gypsies” that took a bit of research to unravel.

I can’t help thinking that the 3 Gipsys in Alabama and Missouri are involved here.

What the heck, let’s just bring in Hucka D., if he’s game. “Hucka D.?”

Hucka D.:

Yes, we had to separate The Moon from Maebaleia. The Blue [galleries] are traces of this… indicate Blue Earth or Earth itself, blue as seen from The Moon, of course. And then the cube of Blue Feather Sea itself, another Earth. Blue Feather… Blue Earth, subtract the “F”. Blue “E” as well…

bb:

Can you tell me more about the Blue Feather Gallery in Crabwoo?

Hucka D.:

Giant “E” in the [northwest] corner. Tells history of my continents. Museum.

bb:

Yes, Plant mentioned the Blue Feather Gallery is a museum as well, but I think he was talking about the one in Sternberg.

Hucka D.:

Yes…

bb:

The “E” in Crabwoo replaced something that was there earlier, didn’t it? I’m thinking that the Blue Feather Cube was there, the “e” before the “E” or that became the “E”.

Hucka D.:

Close enough. The Seed. Direct conduit.

bb:

Between Second Lyfe and Earth.

Hucka D.:

Between Second Lyfe and All Earths.

bb:

Was the cube the same as the Temple of TILE?

Hucka D.:

Ask about the continents spinning around each other.

bb:

Ok, I’m asking.

Hucka D.:

Taijitu. Black and white. 09 and 09. Newton…

bb:

… Jasper. (pause)

*****

bb:

Let’s see, the two continents were formed, the Rabbit Hole, then [connecting the two], and then the Joplin tree was brought from Maebaleia to Jeogeot. At the time these were the only two Second Lyfe continents.

Hucka D. (reinforcing):

Only two. Rabbit Hole connected, yes. Residents were called residents still, but it was understood that the name came from The Residents. In your — our — reality now, this connection has somehow been lost. Not really understanding why myself. Must be a masking from a higher dimension.*

bb:

Did the continents physically *spin* around each other?

Hucka D.:

*Yes.* Circle.

bb (ruminating):

Chilbo and Crabwoo… hmmmmm…

Hucka D.:

2 parrots, one red and the other blue-green. Between them Little Robert Plant Variant was born. *Through* the Korean Channel, Baker Bloch on one side and Karoz, now, on the other. Big E and Big Schwa. Had the tube… mentioned that several times now, a number of times.

bb:

LRPV *stabilized* the spinning?

Hucka D.:

Yes again!

*****

Hucka D.:

We are very fortunate to have Little Robert Plant Variant helping our blog generation here, baker b. Marty moreso but Plant is very important as well. Not priceless like Marty, but he comes at a very high price normally.

bb:

So, let’s see, Gene Fade, a toy avatar, perhaps the last of the mossmen, slips through a crack in reality to enter Second Lyfe. He eventually makes his way to The Moon and impregnates Gypsy with Karoz to continue the mossman species. Karoz technically has the ability to safely walk on Granddaddy Mtn in any location, a thing forbidden to Mossmen of Frank and Herman Park next to Granddaddy.

Hucka D.:

Because he is virtual… phantom, at least as walking in RL goes. But as you know now — today — the portal system is broke.

bb:

Yes (pause). Does Gene Fade come to The Moon after it has been broken away from Maebaleia?

Hucka D.:

That is stability. It also separates from a 1:1 relatioship with Mos Ainsley, then. Yes, Gene Fade broke the spinning. Karoz was born.

bb:

You said Plant ceased the spinning, [though].

Hucka D. (not directly answering):

Real taste buds we had in those global days. Salad Days, which are the same as Lemon Days.**

*****

bb:

I think I have part of it. The *Joplin Tree* stabilized the spin and made Jeogeot more separate from Maebaleia. The Joplin tree is both black and white. Taijitu. 2 continents in one, because it was brought from one [Maebaleia] to the other [Jeogeot].

Hucka D.:

And then *planted* in the middle of Big Sink. Except it wasn’t.

bb:

The [Joplin Tree] seed was the same as the tube, wasn’t it? [Plant's tube.]

Hucka D.:

What is the Chilbo tree, then?

bb:

It’s like a roulette wheel. The ball entered the Chilbo slot, not the Crabwoo slot. Crabwoo was almost forgotten. Chilbo became the peak of Second Lyfe and the 2 continents.

Hucka D.:

Except it wasn’t. Big Sink. Chilbo needs Korean Channel needs Sunklands…

bb:

What is my relationship to Chilbo now?

Hucka D.:

Chilbo is the eyeball to the outside. Sternberg… it’s not much different than Sternberg, really. Sternberg could be another eye. Was for LRPV. Before he became just RPV [without the Little].

bb:

Plant stayed peripherally involved in Sternberg like I did — am doing — with Chilbo?

Hucka D.:

He kept singing there, yes. Off and on. Not a lot. Sunklands kept him fairly busy. Tube and all.

bb:

I’m picking up something about MessiaenSphere, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Fuchsia diamond. Center. No reflection. S. Jackson. Perfection. Alien. Ball… sphere.

bb:

We better end.

Hucka D.:

Thank you.

*****

* Hucka D. has indicated that the name “residents” for the avatars of Second Lyfe was actually inspired by the group The Residents, also hailing from San Francisco like SL founder Philip Rosedale. But for some reason, this fact has become lost.

** In directly associating “Lemon Days” with “Salad Days” here, Hucka D. seems to be referring the following quote from the liner notes of Cheer-Accident’s Introducing Lemon album: “It wilts the lettuce, but freshens up the salad.”

Hucka D. And Chatter… November 12, 2009

“Karoz is sooo happy, Hucka D. I think you’re going to say he found his mother on both moons now, of both Jeogeot *and* Maebaleia almost on successive nights. Amazing.”

Hucka D.:

Two sides of one coin. Heads and tails. Heads and feet. Head to foot.

bb:

You don’t wish to talk more about this tonight?

Hucka D.:

Moon and Earth. Blue Earth. Blue, blue, blue.

bb:

You, you, you?

Hucka D.:

Yo. Nes.

bb:

Do you own The Moon as well… wait, that’s the only thing you *don’t* own.

Hucka D.:

[Right.] Hold outs. Don’t remember, though.

bb:

Hold outs? How?

Hucka D.:

There are 3 Gypsies who are one Gypsy. Triangle. Study that purse, er, curse. Both actually. One.

bb:

What about Blue Feather Douglas?

Hucka D.:

Yes. Him too. We better end.

bb:

Thank you.

The Moon Redux, 03 November 12, 2009

Some maps of the adjacent sims of The Moon, Sea of Despair, and Gelsomina, the first depicting them in isolation, and then the second showing their relationship with the nearby southern tip of the Maebaleia continent. I thought it important to show the second because this proximity figures into Hucka D.’s story of how he (or his father?) owned both Jeogeot and Maebaleia, but not The Moon and attached sims, which he calls “holdouts”. I’m sure I’ll be speaking more of that interesting side story soon.

And just a note about that “E” shaped island: Turns out it is about 50 meters long top to bottom, or about the same length of Karoz’s “Big E” (or “Big Schwa”). Now my thinking is that this cannot be a chance occurrence, and that the two have to be directly related now. So I’ll also definitely have more things to say about this as well, perhaps tying it to the holdout status of the Moon complex mentioned just above (I think it might have something to do with TILE, just to wet your appetite a bit).*

Reminder: no islands were in the Sea of Despair during Karoz’s first visit.

Karoz on the western tip of the “E” shaped island looking north. The top of a sailing ship appears over the far side of the island in front of Karoz, not visited at the time. However, as Baker Bloch is checking behind Karoz today, he finds the ship is called “Blackspot – the Sloop Raven”, a totally empty galley with no further clues, seemingly, of the nature of the former crew members.

From his same position, Karoz turns around in his tracks to look back at The Moon and the tower with the dragon mentioned before.

Taking a closer look at that rusty lamp and post.

Relaxing inside a nice “Canal Narrowboat” moored off the southern coast of the main Gelsomina island, not far from the empty sailing ship.

Tiles beside the wood stove within. Birds, ships, flowers and, yes, bunnies, hehe.

Another object — a leaning plank of wood, it appears, both created and owned by Wiseold Sage. Like the small configuration of standing rocks just to its north, it lies on the highest plateau of the island. Also on this plateau, besides several giant trees and some smaller trees, are perhaps mysterious rock floors partially protruding from the ground, again owned/created by Wiseold Sage. Remnants of a building that use to sit on this plateau?

View into the 2 giant trees of the plateau, called “Emerald Forest Mega” in their descriptions. The higher of the two is kind of leaning into the other, with a small stone walkway separating the two on the ground. The walkway leads to a viewing platform just to their north.

Before leaving this night, Karoz decides to take another look at the Crooked House to see if anything has changed over there in the meantime.

But in doing so, he notices that two avatars have come to the island, apparently looking for *him*. He is scared. He is also trapped way up in the top of the house, with no easy and quick way down because of the ladders.

From his position, however, he is able to take snapshots of the two obviously investigating avatars. One happens to be Gypsy Dejavu, the very same Gypsy that owns the island. He is thrilled (!), but also too shy to make his presence immediately known. He hids out in the tower of Crooked House, then, waiting for them to leave. But they don’t — they silently stand on the island scouting around, Gypsy just underneath him, and what turned out to be a family member just to the south. The snapshot below takes in both of ‘em, with Gypsy more to the front.

Karoz in his unanticipated hiding spot, anxiously waiting for the Gypsy and her mate to leave the island. Didn’t happen.

Well… what *did* happen? I hear the reader asking with baited breath. The two finally called to Karoz saying they see him up there (which I halfway doubt), and that they just stopped by to say “hello”. Well, that friendly overture was all Karoz needed to joyfully bound down the ladders into lower rooms, where he met Gypsy and the equivalent to her sister in the main room of the house.

I won’t bore the reader with all that was discussed, but Karoz effectively recounted how he found The Moon sim through the “gypsy purse” on Otherland Islands (Gypsy certainly remembered living there!), and also slyly asked if Gypsy knew of other moss beings like himself (thinking, of course, of his father Gene Fade, who Hucka D. has claimed lived on this very island, and perhaps was the mate of this very same woman who stood before him!). Karoz ended up making authentic friends with the both of ‘em, to his great satisfaction, and stated that when they *do* have a party at the caravan scene (Gypsy explained that they were hoping to have such a gathering soon), to *please* invite him, and to not forget. He also volunteered to wear a different shirt, although, after Gypsy and friend offered to help him shop for a different skin (I think), he explains he cannot change his moss texture, and then tacked on the word “unfortunately,” which I think induced a laugh or two. AND, let’s not forget that Hucka D. has also claimed this Gypsy Moon might be the MOTHER of Karoz. Had he truly just had the incredible privilege to befriend his own mother???

I personally think Hucka D. will clarify this comment later on. I believe that “Gypsy Moon” is, in a way, Karoz’s mother, true enough, although if you asked her point blank about Gene Fade, she wouldn’t recall a thing, and for a good enough reason. Karoz’s mother is somehow a blend of this Gypsy and also the alien creature found on Mos Ainsley, likewise the “moon” of Jeogeot, as The Moon is the actually moon or satellite sim of Maebaelia (again, in Hucka D.-speak). There is some unspoken, unexplored, and un*folded* dimension between these two, um, extremes, involving the whole of what is going on (the “spin” of the 2 continents in question, associated in this blog with the Taijiu).

Anyway, Karoz is very much looking forward to the promised gypsy party on The Moon!

* I also think Fellini’s film La strada, starring Giulietta Masina as Gelsomina, plays a part in this overall story.

The Moon Redux, 02 November 12, 2009

Right on the northern edge of the Sea of Despair sim is found this rusty lantern on post, created and owned by Wisold Sage. I noticed he (or she) has a created a number of other objects or structures on Gelsomina. You can actually buy this isolated object, but I thought the price was a little steep: L$250. Thought about the similarly “stranded” purse and other objects from Cooper’s Island, and had the idea that, similarly, this post and its position might mean something in the long run. So I decided to include a picture of it here.

The two largest islands of the several in the Sea of Despair separating Gelsomina from The Moon appear in the below picture. Karoz is standing on the somewhat larger of the two, perhaps suspiciously shaped like a capital “E” (see here and here). The rusty lantern/post appears to the left of the ship in the background.

Interesting shells on the floor of the Sea of Despair.

A small, barren island separating the two largest islands of the sea mentioned before. No objects whatsoever on any of these islands, not even vegetation.

Then it’s on to Gelsomina, where Karoz reinspects the cave at the southeast corner of the large island of the sim, taking up about 80 per cent of its landmass. The grave topped by the celtic cross found in May still lies within. Person or persons buried there: unknown.

This cave notwithstanding, Gelsomina, like The Moon sim, had changed considerably since Karoz’s first visit in May. Like the addition of this “Red And Gold Moroccan Tent” near the center of the island.

And then actually here’s another unchanged object, seemingly: what’s called the “Crooked House” tucked in the northwest corner of the sim, on a smaller, mountainous island. Karoz would be visiting this house in a moment, with more adventures in store for him!

Top of the island, with a Stonehenge-ish configuration of standing stones.

Next!

The Moon Redux, 01 November 12, 2009

Since Karoz revisited Mos Ainsley, the “moon” of Jeogeot, and found so much there, it was only logical that he should follow this up with a visit to the likewise satellite of Maebaleia, the sim actually called The Moon, and also first visited in May like Mos Ainsley. Once again, he wasn’t disappointed. Not in the least! For it was to be this night that Karoz actually met Gypsy, if not Gypsy Purse then perhaps the next closest thing, we’ll say.

Below Karoz sits in a comfy chair in the main store on the island, selling “Boho Vintage Retro Clothing” and owned by the Califuria group.

The island that is basically the same as The Moon sim had changed much since Karoz’s intial visit in May. The store perhaps not as much, but almost everything else. Like this caravan of gypsy wagons that certainly wasn’t around the first time, and which has apparently hogged up so much of the homestead sim’s prim allotment (was it even a homestead sim before? Probably so — just didn’t recognize it as such, then) that most else had to go.

Details of a sink within one of the caravans Karoz found worthy of a snapshot.

The inevitable deck of tarot cards, with soothsayer crystal ball here as added divination option.

Details of some objects in the general area…

At least the proximate sailor’s wagon and gypsy wagon are still here on the island’s south beach, although the cave behind them with its interesting pool is no more. Also gone is the rock rimmed goddess portal from the former visit — lots has changed, as I said.

Karoz doesn’t remember this dragon and tower either, but it may just be a faulty memory. Much has been seen and done in this virtual world since May even (!)

Karoz looks out with the dragon across a sim called the Sea of Despair, with added islands now. Actually, I think before it had no islands.

More adventures ahead!

Chatttt… November 11, 2009

“Gonna jump right into this, Hucka D., since I already took notes today on what we might speak about tonight. You there?”

Hucka D.:

Good that Nish Mip and Sachie Bade are working hard on their blogs, as well as Ms. Tuque. Have you asked her about the tree yet?

bb:

Not yet. Do you want to talk about the Joplin tree tonight… wait, I know what you’re going to say. You want me to speak about Heartland USA Tour.

Hucka D. (tucking pollen coated hands underneath chin in a listening position):

Um-hummmm…

bb:

You want to go, don’t you?

Hucka D.:

(big smile)

bb:

We’ll have to see about that.

Hucka D.:

I can sit in the back the whole way. Duck down when cars approach. No one will see me, or at least no one that counts.

bb:

What if we get pulled over for something… never mind, let’s not talk about this right now, the going along part, I mean.

Hucka D.:

And I can’t wait to see Mammoth Cave again.

bb:

Again? Oh right, you can go to Earth at times — forgot that part.

Hucka D.:

Yes, that was to meet Arthur. Remember?

bb:

Sort of. Something about Cub Run Cave as well. Yes, here tis. It was just a short letter, and then you were quickly on to Arkansas, it seems, with Grassy. So you realized something about Hurla Dontbee at the cave’s mouth?

Hucka D.:

I realized I was her as well. Like you are both Baker Bloch and Baker Blinker (blinks).

bb:

Animus and Anima in one, then.

Hucka D.:

Rodeo?

bb:

Wanna talk about that tonight as well?

Hucka D.:

That could have been the end between me and you, baker b. That letter. I could have stayed on Earth, you know.

bb:

*You* made those two create the similar letters, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Yes. Egg. (smiles again, a strange smile tonight)

bb:

What does it mean?

Hucka D.:

After 6 [parts of the blog] you thought you were done. Through. You wished to discard me and Baker Bloch and Baker Blinker. Lemon World. Crawl into the cube, I said.

bb:

Yeah, *you* said that.

Hucka D.:

You were typing it.

bb:

Well… that’s just the way it works.

Hucka D.:

Yeah, I’m not quite understanding this post where Baker Bloch enters the cube, then.

bb:

You’re acting a little differently tonight, Hucka D. You sick or sumtin?

Hucka D.:

I’m kind of someone else tonight.

bb:

Hurla Dontbee?

Hucka D.:

*Yes.* I am in Hart.

bb:

Can we or should we talk about your father Kelley more tonight, Hucka D.? I’m sorta fascinated by the possibility that he owned both the Jeogeot and Maebaleia continents at once, the 3rd and 4th ones of SL… I know, I know, you’re going to say Jeogeot is really the second.

Hucka D.:

No. I’ll go along tonight with it being the 3rd and Maebaleia the 4th. I’m easy tonight.

bb:

Plant around?

Hucka D.:

You usually hate when Plant shows up.

bb:

Not true.

Hucka D.:

Yeah, I think so.

bb:

No. I like Mr. Plant. Plant.

Hucka D.:

Well… I don’t think he’s going to show up tonight.

bb:

Wanna speak about Kelley, then?

Hucka D.:

Well…. (blows out air). He’s me. I’m the bank. Cub Run and all. Cabron… Cub Run. It was all me, me, me.

bb:

I think I speculated on that before. So *you* owned the two continents, Hucka D.?

Hucka D.:

Yeah, but I got bored of ‘em. I gave it to Chilbo.

bb:

Gave it?

Hucka D. (lackadasical):

Yeahhhh, there were, well, I had some other… wellll…

bb:

Are you saying that you purposely devolved Crabwoo to Chilbol?

Hucka D.:

It was too much, you see. You had to cut it off somewhere.

bb:

Is that why I’m having a harder time putting together the Maebaleia continent story, even though I know something really substantial is there?

Hucka D.:

It’s a future thing mostly. I am a good egg.

bb:

I thought you were going to say “good Square”.

Hucka D.:

Yeah, that too.

bb:

If you don’t mind me asking, where’d you get all the money to buy the continents, Hucka D.?

Hucka D.:

Oh, they weren’t that much. Daddy really gave them to me.

bb:

So there is a daddy involved.

Hucka D.:

There’s always a daddy involved. (speaking to me directly): Daddy.

bb:

Well, can you tell me more about the Maebaleia story, then… tonight?

Hucka D.:

Yeahhhh.

bb:

You sure that [you don't want] Plant to show up tonight?

Hucka D.:

Nahhh. I can… I can (pause)

bb:

“Hucka D.?” (pause) “Hucka D.?” (pause) Well, it looks like it’s just me again. Maybe I should just theorize on what Hucka Doobie might say about the 4th continent. I know that Gypsy Purse lived on The Moon of the continent, on a sim literally called that. It’s Maebaleia’s equivalent to Mos Ainsley. “Right, Hucka D.?” (pause) Anyway, she isolated herself because of a curse where she appeared as men wanted her to appear. This is like the opening episode of Red Dwarf IV, the pleasure GELF called Camille [shown on Valentine's Day, 1991]. To Grassy she appeared as a female Mmmmmm, and to Hucka D., she was Hurla Dontbee, except moreso… “right, Hucka D.?” (shorter pause). This caused the squabble which was ultra-exaggerated through the toy avatar-SL avatar conflict at CREEK, culminating in The Wilderness battle where Hucka D. and Grassy squared off directly opposite each other. They were not good eggs on that day. Then to Gene Fade — who moved into the vacuum created by Hucka D. vs. Grassy, in short — she appeared as a female mossman, um, mosswoman. By that time she had isolated herself on her Moon [of Maebaleia]. Karoz was their luv child. Her true form was as the alien, much like the Mos Ainsley alien… figured that out as well. And she also appeared to Gene Fade as the last mosswoman as well… another Red Dwarf borrowing [as he was the last mossman].

So if this is all true, then Blue Feather Douglas must be real as well… the father to Gypsy Purse still? Caused her curse in some way? Akin to Baker Blinker’s Shakenstein related curse? [must be]. “Gypsy created TILE, didn’t she Hucka D.?” (pause) Blue, green, red, then yellow and back to blue. Complete.

(to be continued?)

Joplin Seed Ball Sphere, 02 November 6, 2009

“Rabbit Hole, then, Hucka D. Two places in one.”

Hucka D.:

“At once.”

bb:

This Rabbit *Hole*, then, was used by St. Lemon of Troy to disseminate the epistles [Maebaleia > Jeogeot], first the front 9 then the back 9 to complete.

Hucka D.:

Two places in one, at once. Lenin. Lemon. All Hail Lemon.

bb:

How exactly did that work, then?

Hucka D.:

Obviously since teleportation was more difficult in those days, way more, the contingent who wished to move between the two daddy owned continents had to stay fairly close to the holes in question. Sunklands was on one side [Jeogeot], and then the Lake District of Maebaleia on the other. It was like a telephone line that you could actually crawl through.

bb:

The hole was 300 meters deep… er, long? Or 600?

Hucka D.:

300. 3000?

bb:

So you just drop down the hole, say, in Ulyanovsk Oblast, and you’d come out, after a 300 meter drop, on the other side of the world in Blackmount. Like the proverbial hole to China.

Hucka D.:

Think so. I never saw it personally.

bb:

You said you use to live in Sunklands, though. With the alternate Bakers who were married and you were a purple or black alien woman avatar instead of a bee avatar. And you never saw the Rabbit Hole, then?

Hucka D.:

Oh of course I saw it. (pause)

bb:

Hucka D.? Well, anyway, reader, I would assume that’s how The Bakers, with this alternate Hucka D. in, er, tow, moved from Lake District, Maebaleia to Sunklands, Jeogeot, perhaps also carrying the Joplin seed/ball with them. Right, Hucka D.? (no answer). They would buy the 1024 parcel — perhaps even rent it — attempt to plant the seed, which might have been a bogus seed, like the one sold to Jack of Jack in the Beanstalk? “Hucka D.?” Anyway…

Hucka D. (interrupting):

2 seeds. 2 balls, baker b. One for now and one for later. Mulligan, then.

bb:

Obviously, then, this seed, this ball, is also identifiable with a golf ball. Hadn’t made that connection before. Was the seed or ball “planted” in the 18th hole, Hucka D.?

Plant:

I am here.

bb:

Hi Plant. Well???

Plant:

The end is the center, yes. End of the World. Armageddon. Amagon.

bb:

Arkansas. The end of the world really comes there.

Plant:

*Could* have come there. If the timelines weren’t altered. You don’t have Mena as a household name in this one. Thankfully.

bb:

I see. So my theories were right.

Plant:

Dead right. You don’t need all that explosed…um, exposed. You don’t need to light those wicks.

bb:

So Hucka D. was wrong when he said Arkansas should be the center. And perhaps Bunny Boy now as well.

Plant:

Bunny Boy is a work of genius. Beyond Marty. (smiles)

bb:

You seem to enjoy saying that.

Plant:

You’re darn toot’n. (smiling still)

bb:

But Marty now realizes this as well.

Plant:

It still digs at him. He’s not the greatest in the whole universe and all. Mozart, pheh.

bb:

Bunny Boy will never get the exposure it needs, Plant.

Plant:

You can help there.

bb:

I knew you were going to say that (blows out; shakes head).

Plant:

You have a pattern now. What’s the common link between Residents and [delete name] now in the temple?

bb:

Key Rock and Castle Rock, I suppose. The one and the twelve or thirteen. Baker’s Dozen.

Plant:

The temple provides the missing piece. Missing seed.

bb:

The Joplin Seed-Ball, you mean.

Plant:

You can still plant the seed. You can still save Second Lyfe. Third Life… that’s a key. The Key.

bb:

Marbles. Um, is the seed a marble?

Hucka D.:

We better end tonight, baker b. Thank you.

bb:

Thanks to you as well. And Plant.
