The night started, in SL, with DJ Jynxx's set - "Freak Night". The idea was to have people dress up in freaky outfits to party, and some did, but a lot of people just came as they were, and partied down that way, which is totally cool with us! We've always said that no one has to dress up to be included in an Exile event! She was streaming some awesome music, and everyone seemed to really enjoy it. Of course, she made the SHX Top 40 List, as Master had the night before. I did as well, but he managed to unseat me, heh.
Next up was Naked Saturday, which is always a blast. It started off with a bang, because the majority of people who had been at Jynxx's event decided to stick around as well as all of the regulars coming in on top of that. We've got a second Aussie on staff now, and she was there, which was a blast! I can see a little friendly rivalry possibly forming with her and Master, since they are from "rival cities". (I don't want to give away RL locations here.) Actually, we have quite a few new staff members, and let me take this time to welcome them to the family!! Yay for new staff members!!
I charted on the SHX again, which is cool! Master told me what number last night, but I can't remember, heh. I'm just generally pleased to make it on, no matter where I place. Its a true reflection on how much the people at my events are enjoying my music (the same for most other DJs, I assume) and it makes me feel really good to see my name pop up there with so many other talented DJs from SL. And, I can say, at least we are doing it the honest way, not by having someone come in on multiple avs, to vote up the songs and rank the DJs higher. :)
I had to leave right after my set to head to RL work. What a night there! The temperatures had really dropped, and the wind was howling like a pack of rabid dogs, and the snow was coming down fast and furious. Of course, I am driving around in all of this, with my windows down. I decided really quickly that there would only be one window down tonight, even though the papers were small enough that I could have thrown out both. First stop was Quik Trip, with 100 papers ready to go in, but we couldn't place them, as there had been an armed robbery!! Thankfully, everyone was fine, no one was injured at all. Remind me to hug Paula tonight and tell her that I am glad she is alright! So those 100 papers went into the back, and we went to grab the rest of route one. That route went off without a hitch, though the going was slow, and we did slide a few times. Route two was a little different, as there are lots of inclines and twisty turns and curves, so the going was slower still. We did actually get stuck once, but managed to push ourselves free, and kept going. By the time we got home, it was 8am.

When we got home, we went into panic mode. As we pulled into the driveway, I noticed that the front door was standing open. Initial reaction was to think we had been robbed again, and secondary reaction was to freak out, wondering where the dogs were! We both jumped out of the car and ran through the deep snow and into the house ... to find more deep snow. On the hardwood floors. And a wet couch, and other things. Everything was still exactly as we had left it, so we started calling the dogs. They came trotting out of the back of the house, where they had gone to try to stay warm. Achilles was a bit damp, but nothing horrible. Poor Loki, however, had apparently had a field-day in the snow outside, because he was wet and his fur had chunks of ice in it. All else was forgotten as we took towels to them, and the hairdryer to the little white Yeti that was once my little white fluffy baby. Next, we shoveled the snow out of the living room, and figured out what had happened with the door. The locking mechanism had jammed inside the door instead of securing, and so the wind had blown the door open, probably right after we left for work.
On a side note, we keep finding bones that Loki procured outside, and brought in, and hid. (Most of them in plain sight.)
And that's my blog for today. I am going to spend the rest of my evening curled up under blankets, with some hot chamomile tea, talking to Master on Skype, and finishing the hat I started crocheting for my Mom at her request. Its a soft baby blue, to match her eyes, and its going to have a matching scarf to go with it.
BTW, she loved the blanket I made for her. I got to give it to her on Christmas Day, when she was in hospital, but she really didn't see it until a few days later, when she was feeling a bit better.
Peace and Warm Blankets for All,
~R
