Winter Wonderland

Spent a little time out and about this morning - including some time on the Gacha Galley (Arrrh, mateys!).

The "Let It Snow!" sim is absolutely gorgeous - if you haven't been to see it yet, please do! The scenery deserves plenty of pictures without my mug in them. ;)

Moar Coffee

Actually today was one of those headache-y, "not enough coffee in the world" kind of days.

At least now I have an appropriate bed-head hairstyle for such days. (no, I haven't made it into the December Arcade yet - but somebody did and had 'my' color so woo  \o/)

My Typical November...

...involves very little actual SL time. Like millions of other writers around the world, I spend November doing NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), trying to write 50,000 words of original fiction over the course of 30 days.

So no shopping, really, and very little of anything else - but I did get 50,209 words written! (Now on to the harder part - trying to edit what I've written so it's actually decent.)

I'll probably start trying to get into the December round of The Arcade, but there's not as much I'm interested in getting this time around. :(

More September 2014 The Arcade

Gambling and trading for more of the current sessions hair styles in red. :)  I had kind of hoped for the "Nabokov" accessory, but Tableau Vivant's Writer Hair with the Moning crown is quite lovely.

September 2014 Arcade Scores

The thing I wanted most from this session of The Arcade - Exile's "Dancing On My Own" hair in dark reds. Love it, and I love that each shade of red on the coloring HUD can now be streaked in 8 different shades as well!

On the Hunt Again

It's that time again! The September round of The Arcade Gacha has been open for 17 hours (ish).  Trying to beat the 'three days to get in' this time!

The determined Gacha Hunter

::ETA:: Okay, I got in at about 25.5 hours for this round! (...which means it was about 4:30 a.m. my time, but... who's counting, right?)  Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get any of the hairs in red for my first round! Trades, ahoy. :)

Belated Hair Fair pics

RL kept me from posting these in a more timely manner. :(  These are three of my favorite gifts from the 2014 Hair Fair!

La Noir Soleil Designs:
Their gift hair is "Ally," a nice updo. The color hud included with the hair doesn't quite hit my usual shade of red, but it comes close enough that I'll wear this one quite a bit. :)

Another updo, but Amacci's "Zoe" is a much more casual side-bun.
