I am SO glad you're back!

[Lorraine]

Got it! But it will have to wait till later today to install and texture. If I start the gennie up now at 1am, my neighbours might come over and drill a hole in the boat!

 

[Lorraine]

Hey Rokkit, it's really nice you have a common interest with your daughter, and music is a great one. Being unable to play anything except 'Mary had a little lamb' on the plastaflute when I was eight and being told not to give up my day job when I sing, I'm more than a little envious.

There are karaoke bars all over this city. I was in one last night and I got a wild hair up my butt. My boss and his boss both came into the bar. I let loose on "Let It Go" from the movie "Frozen". Not a single person in the place could believe that I could sing it. I got a few free drinks from it.

Can't have 'em doing that!

 

[Lorraine]

Ah, so you CAN give up your day job. You can busk your way round the world and sing for your drinks Me, they would pay me to leave!

It's fun for me. I think if I had to do it for a living I wouldn't enjoy it as much. And I'm 49 now, not 21. I don't qualify for American Idol anymore!

And they hold karaoke contests in these bars sometimes. I am not allowed to join....

 

[Lorraine]

True, taking what you enjoy doing for pleasure and then making a living off it can take the enjoyment out of it. Happened to me when I went professional with photography...it got so I didn't want to look at a camera. But not letting you in the competitions?! That's a bit harsh.

It's because the competition in most of these contests are your typical guys who can't sing but you can't convince them of that when they are drunk. I entered a couple of them and won the thing with only one song. Now if I am there, they won't let me enter because no one else will if I am on the roster. It's a money making thing for the bar.

 

[Lorraine]

Shucks, your reputation precedeth you, huh.

 

[Rokket]

Shucks, your reputation precedeth you, huh.

Yeah, but I don't mind. A lot of times when I am out there, people will buy me drinks and pay for songs for me to sing. In these bars, you pay to play. It saves me a ton of cash and I get to exercise my voice. It's win-win for me there. So what if I can't enter a contest where the winner gets a few bucks?

 

[Rokket]

Just to show the scale of the press, I put Dawn in there. I think she likes it.

 

[Lorraine]

I think she does!

Time to finish my cuppa tea and head to bed. I'll post my press progress when I fire things up later.

 

[Rokket]

Cool. I'd like to see what you come up with as far as textures. I will check it tomorrow. We will be underway, so I won't be able to post any pics or anything. But I will still be able to get on here.

 

[Lorraine]

I'm afraid I got sidetracked today on to using the DynCreater script on Poser dynamics. But the press is installed and I will be doing stuff to it tomorrow

 

[Rokket]

That's ok. I fully understand. I saw what that plugin can do. I'd have gotten sidetracked too!

 

[Lorraine]

Man, it was so much fun! And to see everything working perfectly was just bonza. I'm going to have to start getting Lully's dynamics now, no excuses! But may one a week so as not to pauper myself

 

[Terre]

Glad to hear that shiney works so well. I heard about it elsewhere and sent a link to a friend another place who uses D/S and Poser both. I think he'll have fun with it to.

 

[Rokket]

Things are shaping up around here!

I wish I was in port right now. I have most of the Rey costume for Dawn finished. The only thing left is to model the boots. They are going to be tricky because of how they were made, but I think I can pull it off. I have a workable tunic now, even though I am not totally happy with it. I may give it another go. Each time it looks better and better.

So how was your day?

 

[Terre]

It'll be interesting to see when you get it done.

My day was a normal Wednesday: run in circles trying to get multiple things done at the same time. Being a one person dept in charge of almost all of the store's pricing and an assistant front end manager is a handful.

 

[Rokket]

I've found that the easiest way to stop running around in circles is to pull the nail out of your shoe. But maybe that's just me?
