Jet Set Lara: travel, decadence and the pursuit of pleasure

Completing the circle

No, I didn't forget about you. I've been exploring the world, working hard to complete the circle. Sometimes this means doing more and blogging less :-)

You are the World

Completion, Good Reward.

The World is the final card of the Major Arcana, and as such represents saturnian energies, time, and completion.

The World card pictures a dancer in a Yoni (sometimes made of laurel leaves). The Yoni symbolizes the great Mother, the cervix through which everything is born, and also the doorway to the next life after death. It is indicative of a complete circle. Everything is finally coming together, successfully and at last. You will get that Ph.D. you've been working for years to complete, graduate at long last, marry after a long engagement, or finish that huge project. This card is not for little ends, but for big ones, important ones, ones that come with well earned cheers and acknowledgements. Your hard work, knowledge, wisdom, patience, etc, will absolutely pay-off; you've done everything right.

Out of this world...

I must be the last person in the Colonies to discover that Number Six is on the February issue of Playboy :-)

Where in the world was Jet Set Lara?

Yes, I have disappeared. But I am doing well as you can probably tell ;-) And I will come back with an update once one of you guesses where I was when I took the above pics.

Happy New Year!

Only in Japan: Artificial Girl 2

A reader of the blog recently sent me a link to Artificial Girl 2, a Japanese 3-D erotic simulation game starring a "fully customizable" young Asian girl accompanying the player on a virtual island. The game's goal is to help her finish her math homework before Monday's class.

Just kidding!

Too bad it doesn't come in a multiplayer edition :)

Seduced by Number Six

The people who have met me in real life know I never watch TV. Naturally, there is one exception: Battlestar Galactica. And yes, I admit that if the statuesque blonde Number Six was bi, I would almost certainly be a Cylon collaborator in New Caprica...

The new season starts tonight at 9/8C on the SciFi channel.

Companion in Space

I became an avid Firefly fan after reading about the canceled TV show on the Business Summit Blog. In that entry, Teresa mentions I remind her of Inara Serra, the sci-fi show's high class courtesan (Thanks Teresa!)

Firefly was a well written, edgy and fun space western. It made it to the big screen with the release of full feature film Serenity. You can still purchase individual episodes on iTunes and Amazon.com

Enjoy the clip! Now I can go back waiting for the new season of Battlestar Galactica :)

I was expecting Lara to taste better...

Having not brought enough Barbies for the Burning Man Bar-B-Que, I had to content myself with power bars and other goodies to survive the harsh desert environment.

I couldn't resist stocking up on some "LARA bars", especially since they have a Lara signature on the back side and described on the packaging as "A magical harmony of fruits, nuts and spices". What a disaster that was! I think I'll stick with the other goodies next time ;)
