Second Life

When A Pixie Meets A Chipmunk

Video PeepSideshow Darkward4 Comments

Yes, today I’ve got something just a little different! On Saturday, my good friend, Hope Seranade, followed me DJing at Breaking The Rules. From the moment she started speaking, we knew something was very, very wrong, yet very, very hysterical 😀 Somehow, some pixies – or chipmunks – had found their way into her SAM, and she sounded like…well, click play on the video to hear it yourself! By her third voice-over, I was in tears of laughter, but somehow managed to remember to grab my phone and record this momentous occasion. If you listen closely, you can hear me giggling at the end of the recording. Thankfully, I managed to press stop before I snorted! You can view on youtube here.

When I told Hope I had recorded it, she was appalled, but it seems that word of my treachery spread, and I was asked to share it on Facebook. So, this morning, I set out to create a video. After almost three hours of trial and error, I managed to capture the slides AND the audio, convert it to an .avi file and upload it. It was a LOT of work, but just listening to it – and knowing that anyone who stumbles across it can view it – made it all worth it.

Here’s to you, Hope…my homage to you in all of your pixified-glory. Alvin ain’t got nuthin on you 😉

Wrangling Butterflies

I didn’t blog yesterday because I was getting ready for a big night – I was prepping to complete one of the items on my Bucket List: I DJ’d in Second Life. I did my audition at Breaking The Rules, the club where I have hosted since it opened. My set ran from 2am – 4am SLT, so I was thrilled to have around 20 people stay awake for my set! I still don’t know if my audition was successful and I’ll earn my DJ tags, but I had a blast, once I managed to wrangle the butterflies and figure out how not to trip over my tongue 😉

I have to say that this photo shows exactly how I felt today – exhausted! I was so pumped after my set finished that I had a hard time sleeping. But I feel very proud that I overcame my fear and actually did it. I also want to thank all of my friends who came out to see me – for most of them it was very, very late, and they stayed awake to support me 🙂 I also want to give special thanks to Kaos, who wouldn’t let me “think about it” and gently pushed me into actually doing it. Hugs and ty, Bubby!

Update: I was working on this post as I was heading into the club to host my normal midnight set. The DJ overslept, so I got to take off my training wheels…I’m officially a DJ! Woot!

Getting Stuck At Scribbled Hearts, Or How To Explore A Sim And NOT Ruin Your Shoes!

I promised a few days ago I would go back to Scribbled Hearts to explore the sim. Since I needed to test out the “fix” I applied to Fernando to make sure he wouldn’t have another meltdown, I decided to head back over and fulfill that promise. As I was wandering around, shooting photos, a little story developed in my head. My apologies – this is going to be a long post with quite a few photos. I am going to attempt to use a “cut” for the first time so this doesn’t clog the feeds, or if you’re on my blog’s home page, you don’t have to follow my tale to the end without clicking into the post 😉

It all really started with this photo…

Oh no! My teleporter is broken, the only taxi in sight looks like it has come out of the back end of a Demolition Derby and I’m in a “no coverage area” for my mobile! This must be a Windows phone 😦

I guess I’m stuck here for a while. Maybe I’ll wander around and see what might keep my interest. Of course, I’m wearing heels on the one day I have to walk…sighs.
