Day 45

Literati had a few twists today... My first opponent quit. We know how much I enjoy quitters. Here was the board:

My second opponent... They thought me a cheater. ~sighs~ See.....
I knew I would get a snide comment by their attitude when I played the word "CHEATER" I am pretty sure they were thinking yes, yes you are. Sometimes I truly dislike being knowledgeable in words. I suppose that it pretty sad when you can get to such a point. I just hate when people think I am a cheater when I truly know I am not. I am just the average Jane. I can't play words against someone who manipulates a board.

When it comes to winning a game of lit oddly there is a strategy behind it as well. Try to not leave point spots open for your opponent unless it is worth the points you are getting for the risk. Block or use the 2 and 3 word scores so your opponent cannot use them. Even add points in your head to know the best plays. Then add into it the knowledge of letters you receive and being able to apply them to the current board. It can seriously take some thought or you will kick yourself after as you go damn I had such n such a word why didn't I see it?

Oh well... here was the "cheating" board:


Today's Movie: The Sheltering Sky

The scenery and the music in this are absolutely amazing. It is a story of a husband and wife and their male traveling companion. It is a sultry film in spots admittedly.

The couple have been married 10 years and their marriage is not as it should be. they sleep in separate rooms. In the movie they both have at least one affair with another. While they travel place to place they try to find what it is that they love so much. It is apparent they enjoy their intimate relationship. It is the rest of the time they seem so far apart. They travel so much that at one point she even mentions she has not unpacked her bags in their travels.

The husband is suspicious of the travelling companion and his own wife so will keep moving them about to stay away from him. He will fall very ill with typhoid. As he gets sicker they both realize all that ever mattered was the other. But is it too little too late?

The movie ends with a very thought provoking statement: "Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well, yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless. "

For IMVU... I was building an oasis. I wanted a sand spot for the dancers. In the book series of Gor which is the role play I am in in IMVU the women dance in sand pits. I wanted to have one. I found one in the catalog and choked as I saw the price I knew the dev cost and I knew how much profit they were making. I refused to pay it. I was gifted the item however. I decided I could make one better than that and charge less stealing their thunder... Here is my project:

Day 45: Sand Pits
2 Sand pits available: Copper and Steel
These are round carpets with no poses you must add your own. this leaves them versatile.
Both have realistic sand centers with an ornate metal border circling it,
Whether you have a beautiful dancer to dance in the sand, a warrior battling in a sword fight, looking for a pit for horseshoes, or you are an athlete getting ready to throw a shot put this is perfect.
PLEASE NOTE BY CATALOG DESCRIPTION WHICH ONE THIS IS.

So pretty much you can buy this one here for 1235 credits:

Or you can buy both of these for 1200 credits:


I suppose that was not very nice of me. However I really hate when people try to rip other people off. It does not cost that much to derive the items. Such a high price is ridiculous.

See you tomorrow with "T"
