This a flash post about homes, shows and BBQ. Home Show 2014, an event exclusively for home & garden stuff is open and full of goodies. I chose two releases for this post and it's this cool new desk by DIGS and this neat barbecue set by 11th Hour. You can find them both at Home Show 2014. Taxi to follow.

This is a post about gachas and cool bomber models. Gacha haters may have a lot arguments against them (some valid) but you can't deny that this SL trend is giving the opportunity to creators to come up with some really creative sets. A fine example is this new Airplane model kit by Eleventh Hour available at Oh my gacha event. Having spent quite a few hours putting together models as a kid this set brings back memories. The gacha includes 2 rare items and 6 common and the price for each play is 50L.

This is a geeky post about geeky decor, geeky events and geeky memes. The Geeks n' Nerds event is open and it's full of geeky awesomeness. On top of that Berry, inspired from the event, has a new meme in her blog aiming to find out more about our geekiness. Geeky questions, answers and credits to follow.

1. What do you consider yourself to be? Geek? Nerd? Dork? None of the above? All of the above? I can't really answer that for my self. What I can tell you though is that I have a lot of useless information/trivia stored in that head of mine so that may make me a nerd. I also love science fiction, I have played every cRPG worth playing in the past 15 years (Baldur's Gate still wins) and I have a huge pack of Marvel comics gathering dust somewhere. You decide.

2. What was the first computer you ever owned? An old 386 back in the 90s. It was a gift from my uncle who got a newer one at the time and I was mostly using it to play the original Duke Nukem and Leisure suite Larry (yes, I was a little pervert).

3. When and how did you first get on the internet? During the age of ICQ, trying to score chicks in my early teens.

4. Which geek fandom do you subscribe to? I can't really subscribe to any fan group but I know I love the Star Wars expanded universe (comics, novels, games) and I used to like Marvel universe (the original one, not the crappy movies one) but I haven't really followed the latter for a long time.

5. Star Trek or Star Wars? Since I am a sci-fi geek I like both but I am more of a SW fan. Not the typical SW fanboy though since (as mentioned before) I am not really a fan of the movies but I love the way darker and more interesting expanded universe. I mean you have this awesome source material with lightsaber duels, space knights, space mages and all you do in the prequels is make three crappy movies about boring space politics and Jar Jar Binks. I 'll pass. Also Han shot first.

This is a post about my new living room and memes of severe introspection. Strawberry posted another meme last Monday and I finally got to it one day before she posts her next. This time it is called the introspection meme and believe me,  I really tried to be seriously introspective but I failed miserably. Bunch of questions, answers and obviously introspective SL furnishing credits to follow.

1. Regardless of your current number how old do you actually feel? I'm 28 and I feel 28 with the occasional geeky moments (they are a lot though).
2. Which is worse, failing or never trying? I'd say never trying but only with carefully calculated risks. Recklessness just to say you tried something equals stupidity in my books.
3. If the average life span was 40 years would you live your life differently ? Probably a bit differently, yes. It's not always a matter of choice though.
4. Are you more worried of doing things right or doing the right things? That's a difficult one. I like to think I am doing the right things the right way and since I am always right and others are wrong, it's not that hard.
5. Would you prefer to be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton? Worried genius, blissful ignorance isn't my kind of thing.
6. Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend ?Yes and no. Yes because I've been known to be honest with friends and speak my mind even if I come out as harsh to someone I care for. I expect the same from my friends towards me. No because I keep forgetting to unmute my phone and I'm really bad at returning calls. That's just annoying.
7. Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were extremely upset? Does it really matter now? No. It never does in the grand scheme of things.
8. At what time in your recent past have you felt most passionate and alive? I ate a really good donut yesterday. I'm really passionate about my donuts.
9. If you just won a million dollars, would you quit your job? Yes.
10.  If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today? People I don't know. I'm planning ahead.
11. What do you feel is the difference between being alive and truly living? Well, the way I see it if you wake up and can't really form coherent words, your flesh is kinda peeling and all you can think about is delicious brains, you are not truly alive, you are just a zombie. The  truly living are those people outside with the delicious brains running for their ( true) lives. Just my two cents.
12. If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake? Because mistakes suck. Most people I know never learn from their mistakes anyway.
13. What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you? Pee in the shower. Oh and tell everyone in my RL about SL.
14. If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be? To develop its obviously superhuman powers of comprehension and perception in order to dominate the world one day. And hopefully remember who gave the advise when that day comes.

Damn thats was long! Now credits.

This is yet another quick decor post because with all the awesomeness available in the various events at the moment, there is so much stuff to blog! This bedroom suite (bed,nightstands) is from Eleventh hour and it is on sale at the current round of faMESHed (open until the end of the month). I like the "summery" feel it has to it and it even comes with rotating fans and coconuts! Credits to follow,
