Busy, Busy, Busy

It sure has been a while since I've posted anything here. I'm keeping very busy lately but I should have more time soon to devote to SL and this blog. But real life (RL) must take precedence.

Most of what I have been doing is DJing. I DJ at House of the Rising Sun on Friday nights but I've added Tuesday nights as well. Then I also DJ at Dolls Of Death on Sunday nights. At Rising Sun I play mostly blues music and at DoD I play hard rock, metal and just some fun songs too. Each event lasts 2 hours and I usually need an hour of prep time, so there's 6 hours out of my SL time that gets used up. But I do enjoy DJing lately. I have been reluctant to in the past but a few things have happened.

Meeting Angel with cat
First of all, Oluthus has shown me a much much less expensive means of maintaining and paying for a music stream than the one I have been using for the past 4 years. Secondly, I have found a less expensive way of finding requests than Amazon.com. Thirdly, I have found a great way to thank people for their tips and that's to give them a gift of something I have made myself, such as a sex bed or tanning blanket. I even have some customized butt plugs for the more adventurous out there. What it boils down to is that I am able to give back not only music and a fun party, but some gifts as well. But what this means is that I should try to come up with a different gift for each event. Not easy to do. But as I find more time in SL, I'll find more time to create some useful, fun stuff.
Angel and her new man Crashed

I was able to meet a new but very elusive daughter of cat's (which makes her a daughter of mine), Angel. We visited on the beach for a while and cat had to go but Angel and I hung out for a while. It appears she enjoys battle competitions which I do too to an extent. I don't get into it to the point where I wear a HUD or anything, but I do like to hang out, battle and kill when I have time. Zombies are best but other avatars will do as well and that's what Angel is into. She also recently introduced me to her new man, Crash. They met while setting off bombs on each other. Yes, very romantic.

Rosa stopped over for a bit a while back. She and I had sort of a lack of trust issue which has taken me a bit to get over, but over it I am. I did a little catching up with her and made sure she knew she was welcome to our home anytime. I believe she is still with DancingDragon.

A Visit With Rosa

There was also some time for me to explore. cat has not been online very much at all lately and so when I did find time to logon, I was mostly alone. So I would go exploring, looking for places that she and I can visit when she returns. I found a great many places and Nim helped me find one, but on one sim I was exploring a waterfall and came across this snow leopard. He pretty much left me alone but made a few sounds that reminded me that I was a guest there and should not step on any tails.

I have also been hanging out at one of my favorite sims of all time in SL and that's 2Raw Extreme. It's a sim made up of several race tracks and you drive up impossible streets to get to them too. The place is huge, ever expanding and more fun that I care to admit. Basically, you go there to race your motor cycle or car. Anything that requires roads to work can be used, ridden or driven there. I usually rez my Harley and race to the very top. The track at the very top is probably the best one they have. However, the very top has changed recently. They are adding onto it all the time. I can't wait to explore this new part and report on it here to you.
The Awesome Racing Sim

Hopefully, I'll have more free time for SL coming up soon. Look for more frequent posts here.
