Pie

"Waiter, there is too much pepper in my poppycosh.  But I would gladly partake of your pecan pieeeeee..." -- Billy Crystal, When Harry Met Sally

Ironically, pecan pie is one of the kinds I don't have. Hrm.  But I digress.

For the last month or so, I've been buying a sample of every pie I can find, within reason.  And none of them really blew me away as far as eating animations go.  There was always some problem.  The plate's in the wrong hand, it's upside down, the animation doesn't fire, etc.

So I said to myself, "SELF!  YOU MUST MAKE PIE!"

And so I did.  I bought some full-perm pie sculpt maps and textures and went to town.  I bought a full perm fork sculpt map.  I found some old scripts and animations, gussied them up, and put them all together.  I'm not going to sell them, I just want to serve them at my party on Friday.

Oh, what's that, you say?  You didn't know I was throwing a party on Friday?  Well yes, in fact, I am!  (I'm so glad you asked.)  My fifth rez-day was on August 4th, and I'm having a belated party this Friday, the 12th.  It will go from 7-9 pm SLT.  Here is the event listing.

I'm hoping that people will actually show up.  New Babbage has been so welcoming to me since I returned in May...it's my fondest wish that a good time is had by all.

House in progress...

Still lots of plywood, but I got the structure done tonight, and found a texture set I like until I can make my own.  Although I'm loving the way the textures look, I'm hoping it's not to gothic-looking for Babbage, at least in the short term.

The black rectangle on the ground is a template of my plot in Academy of Industry, so I wouldn't build too big.

The cottage is coming along

Tonight I did some retexturing work, added a gable and some sculpted window frames.

Still on my to do list:

• Window panes
• New foundation texture
• Back walls (!)
• Interior textures
• Porch posts, balusters, rails, and maybe spandrels

I'd also like to add some kind of garden, and an area in the back for sitting and looking out at the sea.  Perhaps a dock, but I'm not sure.
