I said I'd stop playing Second Life. I was wrong. I couldn't stay away. Now I'm playing it nightly.

Last night I built a 3-D model of a biplane and won 100 bucks for it in a contest. That's a hundred "Linden dollars"--play money. Oh, but it will help me build bigger and better things. Things that I can sell for more Linden dollars.

To keep things in perspective, I'm not as addicted as my neighbour, Lola. She's a pixie who owns a patch of land on the same hill as me in the Second Life sim. On the weekend, she spent twelve hours straight working on a tank. That's dedication.

So if you're wondering where I am, I'm probably building airplanes in the sim. Huh? What time is it? I forgot to sleep again.
