Hear those voices calling
There's sorrow in the air
Falling leaves, like falling tears
Of meaningless despair
She picks up the flowers
And weaves them through her hair
Her dress is torn down to her thigh
Her world has disappeared
And she says go inside
I'm waiting for the rain
She keeps the pain alive
Waiting for the rain
Ice has closed the chamber
The candles have all died
A trail of incense to the place
She lies in deathly white
Shrouded by a halo
The pillow made of stone
She holds the lace against her chest
And welcomes in the cold
And she says go inside
I'm waiting for the rain
She keeps the pain alive
Waiting for the rain
When they find a new forever
Behind this mortal tomb
She'll take the sacrificial knife
Beneath the scarlet moon
When they find a new forever
She'll be someone new
Her skin will warm to summer light
Her eyes a deeper blue
And she says go inside
I'm waiting for the rain
She keeps the pain alive
Waiting for the rain

Follow the Bouncing Balls ...
This morning was a hilarious one. My Master's balls were all over the place - in the water, on the sand, and apparently, Jynxx is very talented because she kicked one all the way up to almost 4000m!! Shanique was playing with them, Jynxx was playing with them, I was playing with them, and at one point, I had to ground Master from his balls because he kept dropping them into the ocean, and I had to go get them! Even Emerald came and watched us all playing with Master's balls!
Kinky, indeed!
I think Master quite enjoyed having 3 girls playing with his balls while another watched!
The only bad thing was, his balls had a lot of bush around them. We suggested a weedeater to take care of some of the growth.

Some Nights ...
Let me go back to the beginning of the week, since I have been a bad River and not posted anything. There's a reason for that, dear readers - and the reason is that this has pretty much been the week from HELL.
Sunday morning early, finishing work, and on my way home, happily singing to the radio and smoking a cig, when something weird happens with the car. It just stops accelerating. Completely. I manage to get it off to the side of the road, and do the only thing I know to do, which is to call my son-in-law, who has some mechanic skillz. In the meantime, we realize that we can start the car, but unless you're giving it a goodly amount of gas, it shuts right back off again. Son-in-law arrives, checks things out, crawls around under the car, and then delivers the dreaded diagnosis - transmission. They manage to get the beast home (because we were only about 2 blocks away when it happened) and offer us their car for work Sunday night. We were really blessed by that, and it helped tons.
Monday comes, and I call the place where we are buying the car from. We only had about $1000.00 left to pay on it before it was all ours. After some chit-chat, and some return phone calls, we go up there about 1pm (after 3 hours of sleep) and trade the Pacifica in on a pretty Jeep Liberty Limited. Its white with wood panel trim (Wagoneer) and has some pretty nifty bells and whistles. One of my favorites so far, since its winter and cold, are the heated seats. My ass loves those heated seats, let me tell you. And, unlike the Pacifica, when a tire has low pressure, the Jeep actually tells you WHICH tire it is, instead of making you get the gauge and play check every tire to see what one is low. The only thing that sucks is that one of the speakers in the front is blown, and it buzzes loudly. This may seem like a little thing, and it really is, but I have what is called "pitch-perfect hearing". What that means is that, if anything is the slightest bit off, I hear it, and its like nails on a chalk board to me. Needless to say, we haven't been listening to a lot of music, and when we do, its all coming from the left side of the Jeep, which leaves me feeling slightly off-balance.
Wednesday and Thursday passed with no great issues, I am pleased to report. Other than, you know, that monthly female thing hitting, but nothing can be done about that other than ibuprofen and Midol, heh. Oh, and a heating pad. Its still in a box, someplace. Fat lot of good that does me!
Then came Friday night. The temperature had dropped again, and it was drizzling and misting. And as soon as it was hitting anything, the drizzle and mist was FREEZING. There was ice over everything. My porch should have been declared a danger zone. Loki, my little dog, ran out to do his business, and launched right off of the end of the porch. The streets were horrible. I can honestly say, that I have driven in all kinds of weather. Blizzard, regular snow, rain, tornado, hurricane, etc... and last night was the first time that I was honestly scared to be out driving. I was crawling along, doing 5-10mph, and sliding all over the main roads. In a JEEP. We managed to get most of my route done, except for a couple of places that had pretty steep hills, and then came home to wait until the sun came up, to do the other route. Even after the sun came up, we still had issues. I almost took out a brick mailbox, and some jackass parked his car facing the wrong way on the street, directly across from another car ... and that was crazy to maneuver between. Oh yeah, said jackass was standing outside watching the whole affair, too. Again, there were a few areas we couldn't get to, so we came back home, and then went out to finish up again at 4pm. Easy-peasy at that point. I can guarantee though, that there will have been complaints from people who didn't get their paper, or got it late, etc. I would imagine, mostly from the richy-rich neighborhood here. And I just have to sit and stare blankly, and think to myself -- at what point does a newspaper that costs $1 at the store become more important than a person's life? At what point is it ever okay to look out your front door, and see everything coated in shiny ice, and then call to complain that you have not gotten your paper by 7am? This is why I am not in customer service. I would say to these people - "Well, the next time we have ice like this, we will drop some papers for you to deliver, and then perhaps you will better understand."
Today ...Saturday, I am just tired. BUT!! Naked Night is coming up at Exile at 8pm SLT, and I already have an awesome playlist set up for it!!
Speaking of Exile - just WOW. We have had such a good week!! Traffic just keeps getting better and better - we almost broke 7000 last night, which is great! Membership in the VIP group grows every day, and more and more people are finding us and coming to the events. Our staff is so amazing - they all work together and cover when needed, and come to support eachother at the events. We promoted Florisa to host manager, and she is really taking the reigns and digging right in with some fantastic ideas! There has not been a single day this week that Exile has had less than 2 persons in the SHX Top 40 - and most days, there have been 3. There are awesome things afoot at Exile - great new ideas for events, and loads of things in the works. Here's to hoping we see you there!
More later!!

Its A Revolution, I Suppose
This week on SL seems to have been a little slow -- not just at Exile, but everywhere. I'm not sure what to attribute this to, but I have a feeling that this nasty flu bug that is making itself known may have something to do with it. Been there, done that, and it ain't fun at all!!
Despite being a bit slow, we still did really well this week in my opinion. Traffic is staying up - WAY up over what it was even a few months ago, which is a very positive thing! We have some utterly fantastic new members of staff - not to say all of our staff isn't fantastic, because they are, and we adore each and every one of them.
Last night was the Exile staff meeting, and wow, what a crowd! It was really good to see so many of our staff gathered together in one place, putting out awesome ideas, and giving thoughts and input. We've always said that, as owners, while we have the final say on things, we want and need to hear the thoughts of others - there might be juicy things we haven't thought of yet, or information that we need to be able to make a good decision on something. And it was GREAT to get so much of that last night!
Needless to say, there are more great things on the horizon for Exile, coming soon to an SL viewer near you!!
I had to laugh though, watching someone logging in their alts during our staff meeting for an event at "The Place Which Shall Not Be Named". (Kinda like Voldemort, only a place, see?) I mean, I was seriously laughing to myself. By the end of the night, it became obvious as to what they were up to, which was trying to knock Exile off of the SHX Top 40 board. Really? One person ... two separate entries at 0 days? That means that the person logged out of the board between events instead of staying in it and continuing to stream, as any other DJ would do. Gosh, my top score would have fallen off last night anyway, seeing as it was on 7 days. Just shaking my head here. I've said it before, and I will say it again - and it was something echoed at the staff meeting last night. Yes, its great to get up on the SHX Top 40 Board. We all love seeing our names up in lights. But I would much rather see mine up there, having been voted up there HONESTLY, without the use of alts. In my opinion, it seems a bit of DJ Fail if the only way you can hit the chart is by the use of alts bumping your score.
And guess what? Our traffic was still better. Neener. What does that mean? In short, darlings, it means that we had more asses in the seats than you did. Then again, I'm not surprised. *I* certainly wouldn't want to be at a place where the main dish served, is drama. :)
On the RL Front, its been a hard few weeks, as you know. First my Mum, then my housemate's Dad, and then just a few days ago, news that my bio-brother passed away at age 43 from ALS, or Lou Gehrig's Disease.
I can't help but to feel a profound sense of sadness. I've never met my bio-sibs. I've talked to my bio-Mum on the phone, and I have contact with my bio-Uncle via email. I guess I am just really sad that his life ended so soon, and that now, I will never get the chance to meet the brother who was only a year younger than I am. Its kind of weird, grieving for someone that you have never met. But, he was my blood, and my family, even if we never had. I can't even say that I will miss him, because of that.
I've been playing with my new iPhone quite a bit. I talked to Siri for the first time today. She and I had a nice conversation about the weather. Heh. I'm wondering if there is some way to make Siri sound like Tyrion from "Game of Thrones". Now THAT would be awesome. While I love my new phone (THANK YOU MASTER!!) its been hard, getting used to it! I keep trying to do things the way that I did them on my Android. Swype is not a feature of this phone. And last night I tried to Swype. LOL It almost ended badly, with gibberish sent in a message. And, I thought something was wrong with it for a bit, on route last night. The light was so dim on the screen! And, then I realized, when I had the overhead light in the car on, the screen was brighter. So I am guessing that it auto-adjusts to the lighting around, somehow. Very cool! I think I might install the gmail app, though, because I really do prefer it to the mail feature that this one has. Or maybe I just need to get more used to it. Today's app download is going to be GarageBand though. YAY!
On that note, dinner is in the oven, and I have to warm the tortillas. Tonight is fajita night, folks!

Random Blog Post
I really have no idea what to blog about, today. Last week was such a huge whirlwind of this and that happening in my RL, that I don't even know where to start.
I missed doing my 80's Flashback set at Exile on Friday, sadly. My housemate was supposed to be flying in early Friday morning, and as such, I was to go to the airport to pick him up. However, late Thursday evening, American Airlines called to say that his flight had been canceled. So I rang him, and he was able to get on the phone with a rep, and get a later flight out for Friday. What that meant, though, is that I missed my set to go and pick him up, which is fine. I'm just glad that he was able to get a flight out, as that area of the US had a big snowstorm the next day.
Naked Saturday was great, as always, and there were quite a few people in attendance! Unlike the week before, my internet was actually behaving itself, and so I was able to stream the entire set. Though, I do have to admit, the "Remote Requests" from the week before was pretty funny!
I'm still not completely over this flu crap that I had contracted a couple of weeks ago - blasted cough doesn't want to go away, no matter how much medicine, or what kind, I take! Its really becoming an annoyance. Some days I feel alright, and then a day later, I don't want to move. I haven't been sleeping well at all, because the coughing keeps waking me up. It seriously needs to be gone, and soon!
Speaking of being gone - apparently we have a mini-polar vortex coming in this week. It was so nice last week!!! Highs were in the 60s... and now, today, high was like, 29. Ugh. At least it isn't supposed to snow, as it did last time. Just cold. I am SO ready for spring!!
One thing I did do the other night, was to take a picture of myself when I was bored. I was sitting at Exile, and I noticed that the sit in my AO looked an awful lot like I was doing Yoga. So I snapped a picture of it, because - well, because.
Just some details on the picture:
Dress - Gothicatz
Skin - HUSH
Makeup - Blacklace
Hair - Magika
Glasses - Crie Style
Ugg Boots - Alyce
Wedding Ring - Earthstones
I guess that's about it for me, for now. No dramas to report - just a calm, peaceful existence within SL. Yay!! Here's to many more weeks of the same.

Tired Eyes and Other Ponderings
Tired.
That is the first thought that comes to my mind, not long after I just woke up. I am so tired, and I could absolutely go back to bed and sleep for a few more hours. After thinking about it, perhaps its a mixture of tired and stressed. My housemate is in Ohio until tomorrow, where he's been since Tuesday morning. Its funny, you never realize how much someone does until they aren't there to do it, heh. I've been covering both of our routes - now normally, I drive and throw, and he sits in the back seat and rolls. He also gets out and does porches, and does the assisted living homes that we have on both routes. I've been doing the whole she-bang since Tuesday night. The first night was okay. Last night I wanted to pull the car off to the side of the road and cry. My back and shoulders hurt, my ankles hurt, and I am tired of inky fingers! On top of that, I have been trying to get boxes unpacked at the house. I got most of the ones in the dining room, which were mostly books, that went onto the new bookcase that we bought a few weeks ago. Heavy!!
Its been so quiet, too. I think both of the dogs think that I am secretly taking people out of the house and getting rid of them. Achilles keeps laying by the door, and Loki keeps looking out the window - both activities seem to start about 10pm, the usual time that he would come home from work at night.
I did actually sleep really well last night. So, I'm not sure why I am so tired! I've been getting up every day around 5pm, trying to establish a regular "getting up time". I think its helping, but I'm not totally sure yet. And, I had a pot of beans and ham simmering all day for dinner, while I slept. They are lovely, let me add.
EXILE has been amazing. All the way from scheduling right down to the events - amazing. Our traffic is excellent - we're up there close with groups double and triple our size. Our DJ's are ranking on the SHX Top 40 chart - let me add in, WITHOUT the use of alts to bump the scores higher. Actual av votes. Not cheating, like some clubs who shall not be named here, do.
On that note, let me expound ... As a DJ myself, I would feel very let down to know that I only hit the charts because someone had 6 alts in the club, each of them voting to bump my score higher. I feel much more excited, even when I don't hit the chart, just to know that the people are enjoying my music. For me, its not some competition. Its all about enjoyment. If I hit, then I hit. If I don't, then I don't - as long as the music is enjoyed, thats all I care about. But, what does it say, when you have 10 people at your event, and 6 of those people are alts of one person, who is also there? The sad thing is, the majority of the staff at said club, don't even realize that all of those people are alts, because the person in question gives each of them their own personality. What a breach of trust, in my opinion, especially to the persons who call them friend and family.
Anyway, I'll climb down from my soapbox now, and get back to concentrating on EXILE - because, in the long and short of it all - that's what matters most. :)

On that note, let me expound ... As a DJ myself, I would feel very let down to know that I only hit the charts because someone had 6 alts in the club, each of them voting to bump my score higher. I feel much more excited, even when I don't hit the chart, just to know that the people are enjoying my music. For me, its not some competition. Its all about enjoyment. If I hit, then I hit. If I don't, then I don't - as long as the music is enjoyed, thats all I care about. But, what does it say, when you have 10 people at your event, and 6 of those people are alts of one person, who is also there? The sad thing is, the majority of the staff at said club, don't even realize that all of those people are alts, because the person in question gives each of them their own personality. What a breach of trust, in my opinion, especially to the persons who call them friend and family.
Anyway, I'll climb down from my soapbox now, and get back to concentrating on EXILE - because, in the long and short of it all - that's what matters most. :)
I've been working on making posters for some of the different static events that we have. I think the one for Naked Furrsday came out really cute - I'll share that, right now! Jynxx shared this poster making program with me, and I am absolutely loving it. There are more in the making, rest assured. I've got one done already for Naked Saturday, and am working on the rest of them as well. If you haven't made it down to EXILE to check out our Naked Furrsday event, then you should totally go and do so! DJ Wingtips is an amazing DJ, and his host Florisa is very high energy!! And, Kitten is an amazing dancer, who will leave you needing a fan, or maybe some air conditioning, even in the dead of winter!! Put them all together, and its an event that you definitely don't want to be missing. Not to mention, they have been known to throw in a contest prize here and there - today was a surprise gift from Lover's Playground. LP makes some pretty damn amazing stuff. I have a bed or two from there, and I love them.
Speaking of SL, there's a few things I need to do in there. Gothicatz has a mesh sale going on, and I absolutely have to hit that before it ends. I used to say that I didn't think I would like mesh, but it turns out that I really love it. It was the same with voice in SL, many years ago. People said that it would be the end of SL, it would cause too much lag, etc etc etc. Now, I can't imagine SL without voice being a part of it. I also need to get my set ready for my 80's Flashback Party that happens Friday at 6pm. You should be there! I'd really love to see you.
I think that's about it for today. My brain isn't functioning at full capacity. Maybe I need some coffee to help the process along. Heh. Like, a whole pot of the stuff. That might do the trick.
Love and Peace,
~R
