News From Dejerrity

My brother in-law Dejeritty lives in Manhattan, New York, N.Y. in first life. I have been worrying about him since the Frankenstorm Sandy, the largest Atlantic hurricane in recorded history, hit New York City on Monday October 29, 2012.

Thankfully I got a message from him today telling me that he is well but that all of lower Manhattan lost power at 8:15 PM Monday night when a transformer station literally exploded. They are expecting power to be restored in his area sometime on Saturday - hopefully.

Well, that´s a load iff my chest!

Onslaught of Crow-Men

I was standing on the back deck of my home minding my own business and talking to sweet friends in Instant Message when an onslaught of crow-men suddenly hit on Southern Charm. At first it seemed like an invasion of thousands of huge birdlike creatures but when all the dust settled and the wings were drawn in it turned out to be only Guyke and Janttu paying me a surprise visit.

Once I had recovered from the initial scare we settled down for a nice talk in or under a Halloween tree that Guyke had in Inventory.

The conversation circled around, but was not limited to,

  • the titles of catholic clergy,
  • the Frankenstorm Sandy hitting the U.S. east coast today and our well wishes for our friends their,
  • the upcoming American elections and our worries about the possible outcome,
  • the size of governor Mitt Romney´s cojones,
  • if we would ever want a man that wears magic underwear or not,
  • how long it takes for ones virginity to grow back,
  • the foaling of horses,
  • the nasty customs in Belgium and Sweden around visits to the restroom,
  • if we knew a good Halloween party coming up,
  • the ultimate busy or away response in SecondLife and last, but by all means not least,
  • what Janttu may - or may not - have been doing on Skype to suddenly agitate Guyke in the middle of it all.
