This is my homage to The Susa Bubble Story – an art installation by Rose Borchovski in SecondLife

It is A sweet but savage Story.
About how single Susa doubles up.
How she can’t handle to be out of balance,
and despite her best willing to be good,
Susa does wrong and tumbles down, and with her all the other Susas.

This is just a little story about how I discovered and fell in love with music via Social Media. I listen to Anji Bee’s Music Podcast every week, and in her Chillcast 298 she introduced me to Active Child. There was a free download in her podcast of their song Hanging On:

Active Child – Hanging On.

A couple of days later Anji shared a YouTube link on twitter of Active Child performing four tunes in a studio, and when I saw that I was sold

I bought the album You Are All I See on eMusic and started following Active Child on twitter.

Mid January they announced coming to Copenhagen on their tour, and I rushed to buy ticket. My husband is going too even though he doesn’t really know Active Child, but what he has heard, he likes.

So my conclusion is that social media works!

After we left the beach, Michaell moved with me to my other SIM. The SIM where my sister/alt had a church. Her partner left SL so she is not much online any more, so I have taken ownership of the parcel. The church still stands and the theme of the place is still very Nordic. I love that, but there is not much room for changing things. Instead I got a nice skybox where my PRIME bed fits perfect.

The skybox is free gift from Sweet Harmony and it really fits. I put a big pine tree inside because I like it and some cypress trees outside the window. A fireplace, a doughnut to sit in and a nice bed. What more can you ask for?

The partner of my sister left a platform on the parcel when she left. I love that platform too. I like to go there and just hang out and think about stuff. The look and feel of the platform is completely different from the rest of the parcel. It has a very warm feel to it with the big bonfire and the old ruins and stuff. I love that part of the SIM too.

I think I have fallen in love a little bit with Active Child. I love the sound of the harp and of Pat Grossi. They are on a world tour right now, and I saw that they are coming to Copenhagen too. So Manse and I are going to Lille Vega to see them on Marts 5. It is going to be so great.

In Autumn 2010 Michaell and I got a beach together (I wrote about it here). It was primarily my beach, but Michaell used it too and contributed as well. Then one day our neighbours introduced a huge rock right in our view of the ocean. That was very uncool. I know you can derender, but with Firestorm I had to derender every time I logged in and in Kirsten I couldn’t derender at all. The Estate Management didn’t really want to deal with it, so we decide we were leaving.

So late December I got a Space Navigator to help make my filming more fun. I used it the first time when I filmed our beach. I see now that I used it way too much. But I cannot redo the filming of our beach, as that is long gone. But we still have it here:

The music in the video is 7 Day Visa : Que Quiero (ft. Anji Bee). Buy it on iTunes.

It is a bit rough – I don’t know how to do the camera so it doesn’t look so edgy, and what is up with the colours? Any how… Here it is. My first attempt:

The tune I used here is Buck UK Once, and you can get it here.

I saw an article on New World Notes about a project that inspired me to make this collage. I think it is amazing to see how the Bine Rodenberger avatar has changed over the years. Or to be more precise; how little she has changed. SL has changed a great deal, but the essence of Bine Rodenberger has stayed the same. See more here: Flickr.
