My Second Day in Second Life
My Second day in Second Life brought more surprises than the first one.
As part of my homework this week, I have to go to a Second Life event, take a picture –or snapshot- and then post it on Facebook.
Just trying to find an event became part of the Second Life amusement. The default search wasn’t giving me any results that I liked: I went to Google search after running into a few dancing room where some naked people walked into me and others were just there, dancing. What for, I don’t know.
I went back to the “real” world, and searched on Google for Second Life day events. To my surprise, I found a someone (though there are many people) who posts all the Second Life events, everyday, on his blog. But still, none of those were of my interest or I had too much trouble trying to find out if my First Life hour was ahead or behind Second Life’s.
Next step: I went home. My First Life home. I typed in Madrid on my search bar and only one thing showed up: La Casa Encendida, a place where you can visit exhibits, go to concerts or have dinner.

After walking around the Arthur Rimbaud exhibit for a while, I was shocked by the advertisements on the walls –real advertisements from the same company that sponsors the center- and how similar it looks to the Casa Encendida that I know from Madrid.

I will post the snapshots today and then I’ll go to bed and dream of Second Life hallways. It still creeps me out a little, but I’m getting used to it.
It’s still too big, too broad and new to me as to navigate through it comfortably and expect to get to the places that I want to see. It still intrigues me what people do on Second Life, how they feel, why do they want to stay there “dancing” sometimes or maybe go shopping when you could just take a walk outside. I want to know why people “buy” houses in Second Life. Why do they play videogames in Second Life? I want those answers.
If you ever need a hand on the grid, let me know. Just drop a message to Mace Maverick.
