THE COMMON ROOM:

Tell us what are YOU doing/thinking/feeling right now.

End of the Common Room!

The Common Room was always envisaged as a temporary location. It was started when the original HeartBook collapsed owing to technical difficulties and functioned as a (very) partial replacement to it.

We are now delighted to tell you that the real HeartBook is back, far better than ever – just click here.

The job of the Common Room is over, though we will leave it here for archive purposes.

From my correspondence

I rather resent the expropriation of the beautiful concept of intimacy as a cheap euphemism for carnality.

Another Blondie

She and her brunette were having a terrible night being kept awake by a doggie that went

BARK BARK BARK

in the yard all night.

In the end the blonde could stand no more and she got up and marched out of the room in her pretty pink robe saying “I’ll fix this.”

A few minutes later she returned dusting off her hands with an air of satisfaction.

“What did you do?” asked the brunette.

“I settled their hash, that’s what,” said the blondie.

“But the dog is still barking,” said the brunette.

“It sure is,” said the blonde, looking pleased. “I moved it into our yard. Now we’ll see how they like it.”

You know you’re a blonde when…

You have a whole crate of Real Handymaid Tools left by an outgoing brunette, and you still use a kitchen knife for Serious Handymaid Jobs.

April Fool

For many years, the shroomly April Fool always held a very special meaning.  For some odd reasons, what was meant to be an April Fool’s prank would later become reality during that year.

So it may not be so far-fetched to imagine a house on the “sunny part of the Pacific Coast” or a controller-free, three-dimensional Wiibox.

Congratulations well in advance!

The door to a magic Aristasia?

You may have heard of the Nintendo 3DS which will allow 3D games without glasses, and of Microsoft’s forthcoming Project Natal, which will allow control of games by moving the body, using no controller.

What is new today is a rumor that the two companies will be collaborating on a console tentatively called the Wiibox which will allow players to move in a full 3D environment. The showcase application, called MyWorld will allow players to create rich cartoon-like or realistic environments in which they can both see the world all around them and interact with it by natural body movements.

So – by next year we could all be in the same virtual room, inhabiting the bodies of our choice (from beautiful princesses to living mushrooms) chatting, singing and going out on magical adventures at will.

The barriers between physical and virtual life are rapidly dissolving.

See you at the Mushroom Palace!

Imperial graduations

These are not Mushrooms.

Their Highnesses Mako (18, left) and Kako (15, right) have completed their schooling at the Gakushuin High School and Middle School, respectively, on Monday, March 22.  They are daughters of Prince Akishino, the second-born of the present Emperor.

Princess Mako will enter the International Christian University of Japan (ICU), Mitaka, Tokyo, this coming month. Her younger sister will continue onto high school at the Gakushuin, in Shinjuku, Tokyo.

Oh how pretty they are. Do they really have the Sun-Blood like our Imperial Family?

How do you make an apple puff?

Chase her ’round the orchard.

Isn’t that the cutest little joke? I really want to draw a picture of the little puffy apple running around the orchard!

Happy Eastre!

Welcome to 2030 – and just in case you are confused by Tellurians’ odd naming conventions for their second millenium – it is pronounced twenty-thirty.

Have a wonderful decade!
