Memories on the Screen

Our brain is such a powerful tool, it makes the world's super computers look like amateurs, and even the most useless of people are brilliantly clever if they really put their mind to it! They run our bodies and keep us alive, they keep skills held tight so they can be used any time they are needed, and they hold on to so many of our wonderful memories as well as those things that we wish to forget, our secrets, our hopes and our fears... We can call on them when we need them, some come to the front of our minds unbidden, and others are locked up tight... 
If we had a machine that could tap into our memories, I wonder what we'd discover... 

I think if we had a machine that could share our thoughts it could be either really great - a way to help us clear our minds of the bad things - or really terribly - if things are used against us... Imagine if someone got hold of our innermost secrets?!!! 
I'd hope that if someone has seen memories in my head, they will only find the happy things. Memories of my childhood days, reminders of my favourite toys. There are so many that spring to mind at times, things I'd forgotten, things that may no longer exist... 
Whilst I don't have a machine, I will admit that I DO have a lot of toys, lots of them to remind me of my youthful days. Once the machine has found the image, it could be printed out and everyone can take a closer look at all my lovely toys... Things like my AMAZING Rocking Horsey - from Ananas at the Fifty Linden Friday Birthday Bash - or my beautiful dolls, but you have to be careful, there is one that is a little more lively than the others... Watch out for the Pistachio Puppet - from tardfish at Enchantment - he's not as cute as he looks, he's very stabby... 
Now as the image on the screen of the picture in my mind is small, luckily the print outs are a little bigger and give you a proper close-up...

Color the World, Me and my Plus One!

Wow looks like it's a HOT day again tomorrow, today has been pretty warm too... I've been trying to focus on some random things to keep me occupied and avoiding the heat. 
I decided that today was a good time to take part in a challenge that we've been set in the blogging team for Ananas. They like to keep us on our toes, and keep us interested in the things we're blogging. This time we're being challenged to play a game of "Check Me Out: And My Plus One"... 

Now the idea behind the challenge was to showcase an item from Ananas, and feature a plus one... It didn't have to be a partner, it could be a friend, or a colleague, or even another blogger on the team, yet I guess, for the ease of it, I grabbed HellBone from what he was doing and pulled him into my little blogging world. 
Now, what would we do... We grabbed some MASSIVE crayons and decided to start drawing up a plan of what we'd be working on, when the plan fell together and we decided to "Color the World"... These epic crayons are an Ananas release that can be worn and leave a trail of brilliant colours as you draw all over SL.

What do they eat at the Teddy Bears Picnic?

If you go down to the woods today, you're sure of  big surprise, 

If you go down to the woods today, you'd better go in disguise! 

For every bear that ever there was, will gather there for certain because,

Today's the day the teddybears have their picnic!

Gotta love a picnic, gotta love teddybears, and for some reason today my jammies seemed like the perfect disguise to sneak down to the woods today, and search for the big surprise... 

As the bears gathered under the flowering trees, in amongst the daisies, I snuck into the clearing and became one of the group. My Fuzzy Wuzzy Pj Set - from STOIC - were apparently he perfect disguise, I think it was a perfect added touch was attaching my teddybear around my leg - a MOMOCHUU "Jana Bear Garter" - like my baby... 
Now all we need to do is find some food... I have a feeling that one of he bears fancies a burger... Maybe it's time we fire up the grill? Would it be safe to light a BBQ in the woods?
