Coffee w Odia @ Lost in Pages Books & Cafe Lounge

12 September 202213 September 2022

My daughter Odia and I metup for a late nite coffee at Anαstαsıα Fαlcor Herrerα (Anastasia Nova)’s delightful Lost in Pages Books & Cafe Lounge. We had lots to catch up on and didn’t loungify as much as we might have. Nonetheless, Anastasia’s coffee shop is a sweet spot. I’ll never understand why SL’s wonderful coffee shops are so empty. Oh well, lucky us.

Last year I met some of Odia’s friends who had just opened a new club. I was sad to learn that the club has since closed and she hasn’t see so much of the friends. Physical World or Virtual World, I guess life always happens.

Odia always seems to get taller. I always seem to get shorter. And, of course, she teased me about how awkward it is to be a grown woman and still have a mom who’s trying to be a teen goth. I trotted out the old “melanin challenged” line, but she wasn’t buying it. OK, maybe it won’t kill me to soak up a little vitamin D. I’ll work on it. (maybe).

Sweet dreams baby girl.

I popped by in the morning to snap a photo of the actual shop. Just so you know, yes, there’s more than just a sofa there! Lots of cozy furniture and yummy drinks. If you can’t find love, at least you can find coffee.

Now open! Great place for photos and to hang out with friends! Bring your creative juices! I can’t wait to see what you do with the place!

DISCLAIMER: I am not related to Anastasia Nova and this post was not sponsored by Lost in Pages Books & Café Lounge. Odia & I did get free coffee while we were there. AFAIK, everybody gets free coffee. Anyway, it is a very sweet coffee shop. And while I’ve never met Ms. Anastasia, I have no doubt that she is a perfectly sweet person as well. And who knows, maybe we’re cousins!? It’s possible.

Retired latex model. Flirt, tease & friend without benefits. Say “Hello!” I won’t bite! (not even if you want me to) Over the years so many “SL Killers” have come & gone: Cloud Party, Blue Mars, InWorldz, Sansar, HiFidelity, and more. Mostly gone now. Zuckerberg’s “Metaverse” is in trouble. Meanwhile, SL keeps pressing on. Even so, don’t take it for granted. SL could die, or changes to SL, or changes in your life, could cause this beautiful dream to end. Even if the dream does continue, beloved characters might exit the stage. Savor every moment.

Other Cool Stuff

I’ve worn many hats and tried on many identities as an avatar. I’ve been young and I’ve been old. Skinny and full-figured. Black and white. And red and green. A cheerleader and a derby girl. A barista and a host. I’ve seen so much love and beauty, so much desire, so much hunger for love and connection in the virtual world. I’ve seen that hunger and need expressed in unhelpful and destructive ways. Ways that can make living in this world as frustrating as living in the first life we came from. I’m touched by the tiny acts of kindness that surround us every day. If we can make it here, we can make it anywhere.

I’m an Urbanist! I’m into bikes, transit, and walkable cities. I’ll walk instead of TP if I can. Is that possible in SL? Not entirely! Ban lines, security orbs, curtain walls & “fake” sculpted land that traps you between it and the actual ground all make it hard. But I try! If I can walk I will. I blog about my adventures on the railway systems of SL. Jane Jacobs’ book The Death and Life of Great American Cities is a bible for me. I try to live my avatar life consistent with her ideas.

I love Guest books! It’s so great that you can wander by someone’s small, cozy parcel and leave a little note that you were there. And read notes from others who have made this similar discovery at some earlier time. I love SL memorials and cemeteries. They’re bittersweet to be sure. But a world that appreciates lives lost, also appreciates lives being lived. It’s an incredible virtual world!
