T Is For Torch Song

1 T is for Torch Song 01b

It’s quarter to three
There ain’t no one in the place except you and me
So set ’em up, Joe
I’ve got a little story you ought to know

~ Lyrics from “One For My Baby” by Johnny Mercer & Harold Arlen

A smokey bar, a melancholy piano and a beauty singing of lamented love. The perfect recipe for a torch song.

I’m not into fantasy or role play so I don’t usually visit Genre, but when I saw the theme this round was “Big Bands” I had to go. And I am happy I did.

This torch that I’ve found
Must be drowned or it soon might explode
So make it one for my baby
One more for the road
A long, long road

~ From “One For My Baby”

Q Is For Quack

1 Q is for Quack 02

I was a bit worried I wouldn’t be able to find anything in my inventory that began with the letter Q. Never fear – my ridiculously large inventory (although not as large as someone’s I know) didn’t fail me! I have a few versions of this floatie from Sway’s from a previous round of The Arcade and of course, I had to buy the Quacky cupcake at the Atelier Kreslo Cupcake Festival a couple of months back. So, I was all set!

I was supposed to do a photo shoot for a friend yesterday, but the general meltdown in Second Life forced us to reschedule. It was a perfect excuse to just float around the lagoon once I was able to get back in. Listening to music, chatting in IM with a few friends and soaking up the sun. Quiet. Just what I needed after the tumultuous day I had the day before.
