I wonder if your hamster is related to my hamster ....
I will definitely try low draw and the come early, stand-in-one-place approach next time. Apparently the sound problem was unrelated to the age of the hamster. My computer thought that whatever produces sound in SL was a Very Bad Thing and quarantined it.

I am desolate! My first ball and performance in the Duch, and SL first denied me sound, then all colors except grey, and finally any presence at all. (Now I don't seem to be able to get back into SL, even to my own house.) My deepest apologies for missing this event. (I also apologize if I was missing critical items of clothing during any of my brief appearances.)

I am currently re-reading Tom Jones by Henry Fielding (in preparation for the discussion at Rocca Sorrentina). I remembered it (required reading in some college class) as a series of meaningless adventures involving a lot of romping in bed. After plowing through the text, I had no particular desire to pick it up again, and I'm not sure I ever bothered even to watch the film (starring Albert Finney), which is supposed to be quite fun.
I have been amazed to find how much more I am enjoying it now. The female characters are more significant and more complex than I remembered, and I have especially appreciated the commentary about writing that Fielding has interspersed throughout the work. I may even dig up the film version!

Sounds absolutely fascinating. And I just noticed that Amazon (sorry Tiamat - I feel your pain) has Fever Season available in Kindle format for $5.99 . . . .

For those who read French and are interested in 18th century law & justice -- La Grce du roi: Les lettres de clmence de la Grande Chancellerie au xviii sicleby Abad Reynald (2011). The book not only explains the process and power of pardon as exercised by Louis XV and Louis VI, it presents the stories of the crimes and convictions for which the pardons were sought, from the Marquis de Sade to a young domestic servant convicted of theft who was championed by Queen Marie Leczinka. The book is not light reading, but the stories are fascinating.
