Where No Av Has Gone Before

I was excited to discover that six new sims have been added adjacent to Arianti where Mermaid's Dream is located. These new water sims make a connection between the continents of Nautilus and Mãebaleia (and don't think it wasn't tricky to track down the continent names, since they don't seem to be listed together in one place, but are scattered throughout the Second Life Wiki*).


I had been hoping that something would eventually happen. These new sims now link together a sizable body of water -- perhaps more than 30 sims, depending on how obstructed some of the passages are -- that hopefully will remain clear for boating. So you may see Mermaid's Dream -- my Tako, that is, not the shop, or Blue Wizard, Minto's boat, moored at the dock from time to time.

--------------------------
* So I'll list them here for posterity. The current Second Life continents are:

• Sansara - the original and largest of the mainland continents.
• Heterocera the "atoll continent" to the north of Sansara
• Jeogeot - the "Korean" continent south of Sansara
• Islandia - two "island continents" adjacent to Sansara on the east; developed by Anshe Chung.
  
• Mãebaleia - the southernmost of the three "eastern continents"
• Nautilus - the middle of the three "eastern continents"
• Corsica - the northernmost of the three "eastern continents"
  

Oh Will This Mad Whirlwind Existance Ever End

OK, I admit it: I don't really have an excuse for not updating this blog for over a month. I'm sure every blogger (except maybe Natalia, Torley, Zoe...) goes through periods where the priorities lie elsewhere.


One good thing; My shop Mermaid's Dream has been raking in the loot earning a bit of cash. Who would have known that mer animations were in such demand? I've been playing around with other products; a line of simple mer tails, an Atlantean "scooter", and a wheelchair for those times when you absolutely have to go out onto dry land and don't want to drag your tail around (thanks to Morris Aabye, who was working on the idea and graciously let me steal it). I also redid the cave/grotto to be a little more interesting than the hemisphere I had before.

I now have a vendor up in Rua, thanks to the owner jemma Flora.

The problem with the wheelchair so far is that I keep falling over in it and end up flopping around on the floor. :-P
