The truth of the matter is, if life was mundane and utterly predictable every day, we'd all be bored to actual tears. Luckily it's not, but... still, sometimes, we wish it was.

172. How to… smile at your reflection in the mirror.
It's inevitable. There you are, minding your own business and fawning over the latest release at Salt&Pepper or any number of brands in Second Life that make us question our definitions of wants vs. needs, and it happens: Hi there!

135. Is it just my viewer, or is your butt floating two feet above your head?

I was going to wait until the end of 2020, but as it approaches its 37th month and the days now seem to be 32 hours long instead of 24, I figured now is a better time than any. If I wait until the end of the year, I… Continue reading 135. Is it just my viewer, or is your butt floating two feet above your head?
123. How to… do your best.
Let's be honest here: Sometimes, the biggest, adultiest thing that you're going to be able to do in a day is get yourself out of bed in the morning. And you know what?
