there are a number of reasons i have not posted, but mainly the computer problem alluded to in an earlier post has not been remedied, and thus i have not had the luxury of sitting in my room and writing about things.
BUT
tonight is different since i had to create my very own Second Life account. I am taking a class on Shakespeare in film, and one thing my professor is interested in is virtual representations of Shakespeare, so i had to make a second life account, and this weekend i am going to virtually attend a virtual play at a virtual theater.
second life is pretty creepy- i wanted to make my character really funny looking (with purple skin and giant feet or something), but its actually a lot harder to use than i thought, and i got pretty frustrated with the “appearance tweaking” in the game. namely, i could not get rid of the brown hair that my character has, so instead i had to have white hair protrude out of it. Yeah second life, REAL REALISTIC, TWO HAIR-DOS AT ONCE.
I wouldn’t reccomend second life to anyone though. Immediately after joining the server, i had two dudes walk up to me and ask “HEY GIRL U WANNA CYBER?”. Pigs! I promptly flew away (you can fly in second life duh) out over the ocean, where i stopped flying in hopes of seeing my character flounder in the water. But no! I sank straight to the bottom where apparently you can walk across the barren ocean floor forever. I wonder if anyone does this!?
Also, the other weird thing about the game is that its pretend life on the internet.
i dont know what the thing below my polka-dot underpants is. I also lost my shoe :(

you might be wondering why i posted the picture of the communist-era inspired image of china that includes a ping-pong paddel.
its because i am recognizing that china plays the game of ping-pong so that an american writer need not ever do it again.
i’ve seriously heard like fifty reports about the chinese ping-pong team in teh beijing olympics, and the general line goes something like this:
“”DID YOU KNOW THAT CHINA PLAYS PING PONG AS A SPORT???! WE ALL PLAYED IT IN A BASEMENT WHEN WE WERE KIDS IN THE USA HUH! DID U KNOW THAT HALF OF THE PEOPLE IN THE MEDAL TOURNAMENT ARE CHINESE? WHOAH! I GOT THE INSIDE SCOOP ON PING PONG AND DECIDED TO CHALLENGE LI MEI WI WHO PLAYED ON THE CHINESE OLYMPIC TEAM 20 YEARS AGO. SHE BEAT ME 21-0!!!! WHOOPS!!!! IS PINGPONG A REAL SPORT??? IS CHINA 4 REAL!?”“
goddamnit, yes pingpong is a sport, as much as dressage or pistol shooting or holding your breath is a sport.
the USA mens basketball team has won gold a whopping 13/16 times it participated. but they never talk about how the sport was invented in the US or how nearly all professional internaitonal players play in the US.
it’s cause they’re chumps.
also, ping pong is way funner to watch than a goddamn women’s marathon for an hour. thanks for nothing, NBC.
