I'll remember this as the week I had very little time, and spent most of it in a foul mood.
Still, it was full of great stuff - a tour of the Vulcano community, and a lot of very enthusiastic new friends, the premiere of Dizzy Banjo's Parsec, and a wonderful fun time at the Extropia picnic, much of it sitting with Argent, watching our daughter dance like a wild thing and make friends.

They should all be like last week! I really got the balance right - a lot of work, a lot of fun, a lot of love.
Gods, I adore my family and friends - thank you all for one of the best weeks ever!

These holiday weeks have been seriously disorienting, and my time's been limited.
But I've rediscovered my non-work side, and it's going to get a *lot* more play in times to come!
Thanks to my family and friends, for leading me back to balance and "sophrosyne"!

It was a short but very full week!
Exhausted after the Solstice Party, I took most of the holiday week off, turning things over to the Other Personality in the atomic world. Friday saw me back in the social swing, with a *full* day. Saturday was unforgettable, as we opened the Extropian Embassy in Al Andalus with a great party, then went right into Extropia's first Town Hall meeting.
There was a lot distateful about the past few days, but I have my family, and we are strong.

One of the many ways the digital world is better than the atomic? Dance Dance Diplomacy!
We did good, had fun, made friends and built alliances with some *serious* booty shaking this week!
Just wait till the 12 hour Solstice Party this Saturday!!

*Wow,* what a long, full week! It seems like Argent's party was a good two weeks ago, instead of this past Wednesday!
This week the balance tilted back to family - fun and quiet time alike through the week. I got a new house, much warmer and more home-y than the Imperial Fortress, saw beloved
ciel_sb for a few moments, crashed *a lot,* and made a delightful new friend in
jenshikami. Extropia sold out, built up, had its first non-Board event (
vannesh's Blues Night on Friday), hosted a demo SL webcast -
Yeps, a full week!
I won't be around much this coming week, but after Friday, watch out! We'll be leading up to the big Solstice bash on the 22nd, with lots going on!

Wow, what a big, full week! I'll be paying for it this week, though, as the atomic Other Personality takes back some time to prepare for project deadlines :(
But, new friends and new Extropia citizens, new projects, a bit of precious family time, creative time with friends old and new - just the best!!

It was a week of building and Windlight, as the Founding Citizens moved into Extropia.
Life in Extropia continues to be a social blur - there's *always* people around, and new buildings springing up every day. We sold 4 1/2 more 1024 hex platforms this week - an upcoming mall and expansion space for several Citizens.
Despite the whirlwind of work, it was a wonderful family week. The best thing, goddess, the most wonderful part of the week, I didn't get a single photo of: Argent's and my daughter, Ciel, dropped in last night for a nice long visit, and promises to be around regularly, now that the Extropia power plant's available to open a temporal portal. I *did* manage to snag a copy of Ciel's profile photo - so if you see her around Extropia, welcome her - and *behave,* or two angry moms will be on your case! :)
(she *definitely* gets that seriousness - and the neckline! - from her other mom!)

The most amazing thing about this week? There's always people in Extropia Core!
Yes, we're aiming for the New World Notes Top 20 community list, which means drawing over 60 people an hour - but numbers are one thing. Going from a cloaked skybox to a busy downtown neighborhood is something else!
The week started with 44 people at Extropia's launch party, and ended with me dropping in on the 6 people hanging out at the Nexus late Saturday night: so many new friends, so much good will towards Extropia, it's amazing! And the adventure's just beginning!
I'll be away for most of the next three days, as the Other Personality attends to some atomic-world deadlines, but I'll be back around a bunch from Wednesday on, to get the Founding Citizens moved in, our last residential parcels allocated, some commercial buildings planned out - and, omg, *desperately* needed family time!

Gods, what an intense and full week!
The Extropia Core sim was delivered on Monday, so preparing for Extropia's launch took much of the week. Still, there was plenty of time for family, and friends old and new!
This was a glorious week for family, as we all worked and played hard together, and I was blessed by a visit from my beloved daughter, Ciel.
My weeks run Sunday to Saturday, for no real reason - so the party will get covered in next week's recap. I'll have a slide show up tomorrow or Tuesday, though - I've got 175 photos from it to sort and edit first!
