things i would post to lxy & jergins' board if i could

1) AWESOME POSTCARD

http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/1431/judgevq4.jpg

2) it's raining

3) I CALL BULLSHIT on my computer for turning itself off mid-thesis!!!!!!!!

http://www.ctrls.com/images/ctrls_keys.gif

fortunately i am skilled in http://www.ctrls.com/images/ctrls_keys.gif and only lost 1/2 paragraph.

still BULLSHIT!!!!!

uh oh is it a macbook? mine has done that, but i got it fixed, but it also sometimes (very rarely) restarts itself when it's asleep wtf

anyway i wanted to post this on the BALTIMORE thread
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3060/2714121887_7d49e7aa5d_o.jpg

it IS a macbook! i should check on this as i think my applecare runs out in may! thankig u.

harbl, that is a very neat picture. can you tell us about the history behind the statue?

no but i can tell you a story about me. i did not take that picture, nor did i know the statue existed before i found it! i like statues and i like statues of frederick douglass. he is a really statue-ish person. he looks like a lion. that's why he is called "the lion of anacostia" by some. another funny thing about that picture is that in the comments on the flickr page one person said "is that lenin" and another person said "he really looks like marx." wtf morons?

did your frederick douglass interest come from your years in rochester, or did your years in rochester come from your frederick douglass interest?

i liked your story about you, harbl, i hope you will tell us some more.

i am being sincere just in case you can't tell.

i can't remember ever not being interested in frederick douglass, but probably when i learned about him in 5th grade it was his cool hair that i liked the most.

and thank you estela. that's about all there is to me.

check him out

― yur twit (tehresa), Thursday, February 26, 2009 5:09 PM

great minds, etc.

when is lajb coming back

what do you mean, it is back

you're right

lajb's just not that into us

i am into u

lajb is the swings and u are the roundabouts.

i hope you are not one who becomes nauseous from roundabouts!

nooo<3

it's sad how we all have low self esteem since we got dumped by lajb.

l&j

its sad how we are starting to forget crucial details.

It's sad how jergins is copy editing to rub in the rejection

http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd118/embarchie/364284317_28cc5a9460.jpg

y u brake heart?

hurt & appalled

lost & jilted

i am going to go cry myself to sleep

if that's the kind of dismal gloom you would post to l&jb if you could it's no wonder we got turfed out.

can we just make a new board called Doom & Gloomboard then, D&G

gloomboard has kinda of a neat ring to it that fills me with feelings not so gloomy! huh.

count me in, i have a melancholic streak.

for some reason i envision glow worms.

on gloomboard.

can i be a doom&gloomboard admin?

http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/6276/dgcrystalbraceletca8.jpg

i am feeling pretty damn doom and gloom so let me be in on this bitch

ok how do we get a new board

uh oh

you said what i was going to say and didn't say because i knew it would incur the wrath :((((((

but
i tried to say
'if this will deter you from board creation then ;-) lol jk'
but it was locked
and i couldn't

guys think for a minute, how would you get a private board w/o someone setting it up and inviting u in the first place xpost

maybe keith could do it and leave u out of it

does keith still monitor sandbox?

btw thankig u for noize mod

we were trying to shoot for the stars and reach the moon ok

JUST 1 MORE THING TO BE GLOOMY ABOUT :(

i wanted to write some posts with rain clouds in my voice.

i wanted to read those posts with thunder bolts in my ears.

seriously, i'm all in favor of you guys being boring in a place i can't see. let me think on this for a minute, drive home.

jerkins is back.

guess who made me this wayy!!

i'm in favor of you being a cock in a place i can't see

i shouldn't have said that.

i want you to be right there, jergins, crying along with me, feeling sad about my travails.

what do you think l&j board is for?!
xpost

i want a stylesheet that puts this disclaimer under every post

yeah i would also like it to make it like every post begins "hey guess what, "

hey guess what, that would suck.

that was a working example.

callin bullshit on a broken vacuum cleaner!

calling huge loads of bullshit on A train not running btw utica & jay

O_o

i would post about how the first mile of my run no thanks to lingbert on the old final lolution thread i had this in my head

god he has such a smooth baritone voice.

the invisible basketball is so great, and his vest also

srsly anyone hatin on roundball rock should be forced to sit and watch that pussycat dolls shit for all eternity w/ their eyes held open clockwork orange style.

roundball rock is a stone classic

my favorite ever conan episode was the one after nbc lost the nba contract and he was like the real tragedy is that roundball rock is gonna be retired... but i think there are places where it can be used... and then he played this montage of like jurassic park, edward scissorhands, charlie brown christmas all with the roundball rock music

what he needed to do was mix that into his chuck norris lever and gone to town.

a list of things that max and i both like:

1. roundball rock
2. baz luhrman's romeo and juliet
2a. accompanying soundtrack

i think thats an incomplete list

please feel free to add to it.

drinks thread:
i am having a drink.

guys did you realize we did the banana thing once before?
http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=58&threadid=326#unread

i think that is the grapefruit thing????

it is but it deviates to banana talk mid-thread

harbl, how do you feel about grapefruits?

are you trying to flush lingbert out, if so i hope it works.

i feel pretty good about grapefruits but i think they're inconvenient

they are a bit cumbersome!
i think they are tasty in a unique way.

xpost estela i don't think it will work!

i had a salad with grapefruit the other night

also buttered lettuce and curried almonds i found it delicious

that sounds like an amazing combo!

wait buttered lettuce? gross.

sorry--not buttered lettuce

butter lettuce

and it was really good, the best part of meal at brooklyn restarant the general greene

btw grapefruits allegedly will give you breast cancer

jealousy is an unattractive quality in an orb.

i would like to call bullshit on people protesting in the city's largest intersection that every bus goes through and making the buses a billion minutes late so there were 50 people at the bus stop. i don't know what they were protesting but whatever it was i don't support them. unless they had a union rat, which i didn't see

http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=44&threadid=70453#unread

dohhhhh

do they not have union rat in other countries? that's why america is the best

you guys are sick

SCAB!

i wonder if anyone has ever stabbed and deflated a union rat, you know to prove a point

wld lol

you know what is weird/creepy: i just plugged my contacts into twitter and am now following lxy (lol yr "tweets" are so fascinating!!). it creeps me out that once people have yr email address they can find you ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNETS. lucky i use about 6 different email addresses.

and how creepy is facebook: i tried to remove my last name from my profile because i'm getting paranoid about Big Brother now that we're about to start immigration bullshit, and it wouldn't let me!!!!! so i had to go thru all my wall-to-wall msgs and make sure i hadn't said anything dodgy, and then sort thru my whole inbox.

can't believe all the super personal crap i used to spew all over the internet :/

i could give you lessons in leeriness if you like.

i believe this was topic of much discussion at our face-to-face encounter

come on do u really think ICE knows how to use the internet?

speaking as a person whose lolborderpatrol relative was offered ice, i wld say sort of.

huh?

she can sort of work the internet and was offered an ICE job.
so maybe they would find yr fb shit.
is all i'm saying.

wha?

i think as long as your profile is not like "i am really enjoying my sham marriage" or "about me: i killed someone in my home country but it's ok i'm in america now" but i don't know what goes into these decisions

like maybe ice has a list of fb dealbreakers

I know you are a student of the law, and your reasoning makes perfect sense, etc. but gov't bodies be gettin mad ridiculous baout things so I dunno! Seems like I have heard some stories of people's applications getting denied for some really trivial, stupid reasons :/

Anyway I agree with smoove, keep that dastardly ytth out!

oh yeah i am just guessing and being silly not being a lawyer here. actually i agree best to play it safe :/

it's less ICE and more USCIS that i have to worry about. i was actually the one telling ytth to stop being paranoid about them finding some kind of dirt on us on the internets, but then i read this press release thingy where USCIS says that they will look at things like social networking sites. so i went on a deleting rampage.

o yeah i forgot they are separate things now that ice is called ice and not ins :/ that's fucked up!

it's all v confusing in this country; i mean, you have like 12 different types of police!

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e320/HarleyQuinneWY6/gif stuff/E-motes/Boy/boy-cop.gif

when i first moved to ny state i was really scared a cop would try to pull me over and i wouldn't notice because their flashing lights were red/yellow instead of blue!

everything in the whole world should just be the same wherever you go

in france the stop signs say "STOP" and not "ARRETEZ-VOUS" or "ARRETES!" which is just odd to me

in japan the only "english" word all japanese people know is STA - PU (stop)

o(>< )o

today i saw a guy wearing a shirt that said on the back

BAD ASS
White Boy

much respect 2 him

Great shirt. Admin white boy!!! Thanx for resoure :)

IT'S RAINING, HUGE LOUD RAIN AND THUNDER AND LIGHTNING.

i passed out last night, pants around the ankles style don't remember going upstairs. and when i woke up my shades were up and my window was open and it was snowing, big cottonball flakes

did someone take pic for this?
http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=44&threadid=1944

where is lxy when you need her!

fuck all yall

the thing is, you could have posted that to lxy & jergins' board had you wanted to! so... aren't you kinda askin for it? or maybe we should laud you for deigning to post on these lesser boards.

http://mail.google.com/mail/e/1E3

i am crabby today. i was not. until i came to work. now i am.

i actually had a pretty fun time at work today

calling bullshit on my adviser!!!!!

tehresa, i hope you have a wonderful time in seattle, i wish i could be there.

thank you, estela! i hope i do, and i wish you could, too!

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3461/3367096142_33e8bf9798.jpg

lol i just noticed that says 2morrow

spooky!

that note made me have vivid dreams of an attic full of raccoons, mice, rats, cats, squirrels, etc. i was going to call him this week because squirrels also live in there. idiot broke the attic window over a year ago so it's just wide open. i went up there and was looking out and a squirrel was climbing in and just stared at me. it's like living in a barn.

i lived in an apartment in rochester that was a converted attic, so i'd always hear the squirrels running around on the roof and (i fear) in the crawlspace. once one decided to hang out on my window sill and stare at me for like 15 minutes. i even to pics because it was so lol. but the noises at night are creepy!

sorry bout your dream. that sounds unpleasant :(

i still haven't heard the noises. i wonder if they're sleeping in there now. i'm afraid to look lest i get attacked

in the dream there were piles of leaves in the attic, and when i moved them aside mice crawled out one by one and congregated in a tight blob of mice and i was just thinking "what can i possibly do about this? all the animal traps in the biggest hardware store in the world cannot solve this problem. i'm so fucked."

how is seattle, tza????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

“A competent organ is now investigating the case,” the North’s official news agency, KCNA, said.

^ i would like to tell jergins this was a great find

it's raining

it's raining

it's raining

it's like we are cosmically aligned

it's windy

according to widget weather it is going to keep raining for six more days at least.

make the world green

we will have sun tomorrow.

am clouds/pm sun

what a cheesy forecast.

better than the reverse!

i like to walk through the park after work.

are you an autumn leaf frolicker
i hope not
because if i come to seattle in autumn
and you have moved there
which i hope so
i don't want to see any antics
well not that kind anyway

i have been known to frolic in summer storms and their resulting puddles
however
i will try to keep any frolicking under control in your presence
but
there will be antics

there will be tsks

i would be upset if there were not

that is worth a tsk in its own right.

my posts on here are red herrings, i'm not prepared to reveal what i would post to l&jb if i could since i can't.

i believe that post is a red herring, estela, and i think it is important for you to know that it is far too late for equivocation.

i feel so toyed with and used.
i don't know what to do.

you just made estela's day

i have a thread idea but i don't feel confident about it so i won't start it. it would just be for my own benefit anyway. i'm being an eeyore lately prob

i want to read your thread.

ok i will do it in a bit but you won't like it it's very american and very me lol

it's raining.
also, it's thundering.
also, lightning!

it's winding here again

WINDS OF THIS MAGNITUDE MAY MAKE DRIVING DIFFICULT... ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES. MOTORISTS SHOULD USE CAUTION IF TRAVELING TODAY.

high profile vehicles like limos? lol

word play

i like your thread, harbl.

thanks estela. i've been wanting to share my favorite songs with the world. i actually have more in favorites but i'll slow down. i would like more that have real movement and actual singing. and more RARE @@P youtubes. and more soul trains!!!! also some of my favorites have disappeared from favorites because of copyright :(

L@@K

it is raining and a half.

you just made estela's day

i wonder which side of lxy said this, i think the other.

it's raining.

it's raining/snowing/winding

oopsie

i would say hello to lxy and jergins and lingbert and tehresa and smoove operator and t. silaviver and harbl and max and i forget.

cant believe you remembered me last

how ungrateful.

hi estela.

i was going to thank you for remembering me first until i clicked on the video.

now i don't know what to think.

i suppose i will be named ungrateful also.

you are all terrible.

in other words you <# us?

hello estela

i would post on BUSSUX how today i rode a bus where i have 2 choices where to get off and walk about the same distance because it turns a corner, and at the stop where i could get off first i decided not to, and this guy got on wearing a balaclava and the door closed and i was like "holy shit this guy's going to rob and kill all of us he's wearing a balaclava and it's 70 degrees out i shoulda gotten off there" but it turned out he was just kind of a special guy who wanted to wear a balaclava and it was all ok. then a really smelly guy with bright orange hair got on. bussux.

i don't know who t. silaviver is. is it velko? also estela you forgot amon

i am, i cried

harbl i did not forget amon, he is on the list but i was being subtle, that is how i am, like it or lump it.

lxy and jergins and lingbert and tehresa and smoove operator and t. silaviver and harbl and max

estela you are older than me and you still havent learned the first lesson of friends, which is that you never list your friends, because, you will leave someone off and probably order them wrong and someones feelings will get hurt

max, i predict you will eventually look back to having ever being on my list at all with a kind of wistful regret.

i would put this on the tree thread for lingbery:
http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs034.snc1/3252_67833821588_506836588_1793323_1698571_n.jpg
it is a black cherry tree. that trunk is like woah!

also these:

that cherry tree is like

it's raining.

it has been raining every day for 3 weeks or something :(

this morning at 5:30 i heard the raccoons playing in the attic. they were running up and down the stairs and going "wheep, wheeeeep." :(

those ratbags.

another neat tree
http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp95/tza/tree.jpg

can the tree thread move to greenhouse?

can i have my baltimore thread back too please

came back from run and there was mama raccoon in a trap going aaaaahghghghghghghghsssss at me. babies are panicking in a corner of the attic ://///////

i would be paralysed with indecision if i had an outfit like that in my house.

lol my landlord had her outside in the trap and was going to wait for the babies to get trapped so he could release them together (because if you call animal control they don't let them go, they have to kill them) so he left. then he must have been paralyzed with indecision too because he came back and brought the whole trap back to the attic so they could be a family again until the kids get caught. he said when he drove up he could see them looking out the attic window at him!

it's too much.

i bet they had little frowns on their faces.

if i could i would find the correct thread for registering false dismay about getting sweary texts from a certain someon<3.

massive amounts of bullshit to call but i can't really do it on the internets!!!!!!!!

bullshit: cat power covering 'sngelitos negros'
noooooooooo

make that *angelitos

what did u delete?

sngelitos!

snugglins

slankelitos

first person to admit they've eaten skankitos gets a gold star

and we're back to calling bullshit

because questions for the experts is now just for the expert i feel okay about asking this here. serious question: would you, could you, date a creationist?

i was going to say i wouldn't, couldn't, but then i thought about some of the overlooking i have done so my best answer is, i hope not.

no but i am very picky/judgmental

also if they are a creationist they probably have lots of other crazy ideas like ideas about ladies that are bad

creationism isn't so big around here but there is an embarrassment of riches of pagans with crazy bad ideas about ladies.

i'm imagining menstrual blood incantations or
the feast of the radiant sunmother

can you explain them? or post a picture of one?

do you mean like polyamorists and whatever

your visions are too exciting for queensland, i was talking about misogynists with high blood pressure chomping on a pie.

what does that have to do with paganism?!?! i would date someone who worshipped pie

most guys do worship pie btw

lxy used to work with a polyamorist with bad breath. i bet she's got some stories

australian meat pies are a horror show, u would not worship them.

lxy tell us a story.

ok so pagans in australia are marked by their penchant for meat pies?

i should have said heathens rather than pagans, i fear i have lead you up the garden path.

that makes more sense

err, don't really have any stories. she's a nice person with bad breath (and other hygiene issues), a husband, a boyfriend, and two girlfriends. some of those people have children, also.

it sounds so awful to me. jesus christ it's hard enough to have one boyfriend much less a whole houseful of "partners."

ohgod the creationist needs to meet me, 'very important' she says. tonight might be the night i tell her to leave me the fuck alone.

UHH that girl is CRAZY

oh yeah, meet me at the lake. think she'll understand when i start talking about the ice age that formed the lake tens of thousands of years ago?

oh fucky fuckfuck

good luck jergins

oh jesus. (not in a holy way.)

take her, dude

i wld probably bone a creationist but things wld get difficult if you tried getting srs. so. yeah.

also, good luck, jergins. perhaps tonight your creationist lady friend will meet jerkins.

haha
she was surprisingly adult about everything.
she's getting a divorce, which is good. and then she asked if she should leave me alone. i nodded, and that was that. no tears, and she's a crazy actress girl!
she told me an engine fell off a plane and we chatted a few more minutes and didn't hug and that was that.

i always knew you were the kind of guy who probably gets stalked a lot by the ladies

more than you'd think, looking at me

i get very firm ideas about people on little-to-no actual basis in fact, and i've always thought of you as one of those guys who's simultaneously v v affectionate & personable, yet super 'mysterious', which makes a ton of chicks totally desperate for your attentions

wow i sound crepey

lolz

naw that's pretty much right
but it's only a certain kind of girl, and a-course it's the kind i don't like back

(married-creationist-actress is pretty good shorthand for the type)

what kind do you like?

smoove i am nervous about your impression of me based on our conversations lol.

i wld probably bone a creationist but things wld get difficult if you tried getting srs. so. yeah.

aren't they a lot of the time no-boning-b4-marriage types though

maybe i just made that up

oh they're all fakers. sure there are plenty of closet creationists who still wanna have a lil fun.

for a looOOOOOoooong time in lolcollege a boy liked me that i did not like back but he wasn't very aggressive about it so i did sort of a bad and stupid thing and let him follow me around because everyone sucked and he helped me with my homework. after i graduated i became a facebooker and he friended me and i found out he was a mega christian, like to the extreme. i feel lucky i escaped and i sympathize with jergins.

i think maybe you are right, creationists have a bit of a wild side

lol i mean minus the christian thing that could describe like 95% of dudes at yr school.

it was a lonely lonely time

i have a close xtian friend, who recently - at the ripe old age of 26 - gave into temptation and boned her bf (they've only be together like 6 months). i felt guilty when she first told me, since i've been hounding her for the 2or3yrs i've known her to 'try before you buy'

smoove i am nervous about your impression of me based on our conversations lol.

i have an inappropriate joke reply for this, but i will save it for private chatz ;)

haha xp

this guy is actually getting married and converted to russian orthodox for girl

i was wooed by a taxonomist, one night i puffed on a cadged cigarette and said, 'i am never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER going to sleep with you,' and he said he already knew that but i was still marvelous anyway.

did you ask him what category you fit into anyway, just for lols? ^_^

actually for a solid 30 seconds i thought you meant a taxidermist and i was puzzled why you would pass up this great opportunity

i did too!!!!!

i would turn down a taxonomist like no tomorrow

estela you are so harsh

am still picturing taxidermist

i am imagining taxidermist pickup lines

i slightly knew a taxidermist around that time as well, he called me 'a beautiful specimen', the only opportunity he was great for was for speeding up my sprinting.

'i'd luv to stuff u'

i should have told him to put a sock in it.

yes xp that is what i was thinking :((((((

i could probably find out what aged care facility he resides in if you would like an introduction.

good stories in this thread

max would you date a taxidermist?

i dated a (former) taxidriver.

i try not to discriminate on the basis of occupation

for example right now i am dating a furniture saleswoman

3 chairs for max

i don't think i've ever dated anyone with a weird occupation

a student loans officer dude
an unemployed bum
a dj
a concierge
a chef/gangsta-drugdealer-wannabe

my husband is a 'product specialist'

it's raining

it's tornadoing

it's raining

it's been raining for 3 days. crazy

i am calling bullshit to the bird (probably a filthy pigeon!) who pooped on my head on my way to get travel immunizations, making me cancel appointment and come back home to wash my hair. you are a bastard.

did u think 'it's raining, i just felt a very large droplet land on my head, i would definitely post about that to l&j board if i could' but then u realised it wasn't rain.

i believe my thoughts were a lot more profanity-filled.

when i went to the statue of liberty with my ex girlfriend she got pooped on

what a mix of patriotism and ire. god i loved that girl

a mix of patriotism and i rate everything!? what a keeper

i got pooped on the other day. sux.

i'm a mix of poop and i rate everything

lxy & jergz, you should go to this:

http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/2434272/Teacher-student-couple-hold-hot-for-teacher-night

^ was gonna ask them about this! yes u should go

I can't believe I am missing this!

maybe if it's successful they'll make it a monthly thing and u can be a part of history

i was just telling lxy about this! oh my god, it sounds amazing. we've been to that bar, before a soccer game once. the place is a hole. but maybe we'll go

Uhh thread

live blog it. or tweet it

Yes, please.

no vili

no credivility

It's sprinkling.

it's overcast

it is motherfucking RAINING in new jersey

it is jolly well sunny here but we have had some giant blimmin storms which you should note i have managed to dramatically report without resorting to profanity.

my little sister's favourite word is 'blimmin'.

turn your blimmin phone on<3

'blimmin' is a swear here btw

yeah blimmin is the worst swear

its like an ethnic slur, but for every ethnic

my ph is on now! <3

but i need to go buy cigarettes. back in 15min!

i am talking to ruby.

read that as "i am talking to ruby on this thread and ignoring you boys"

please give ruby a blimmin good hi for me!

xp either on the phone or on this thread, whichever is appropriate.

done!

now turn your blimmin phone on lxy.

blim it on the rain

we have a little debate going on here: is it a short i or a long i?

phone is on darling estela!

i have to go out:(

if i am not back too late i will txt 1st and then call you.

blim rhymes with tim and jim and him, min rhymes with tin and jin and hin, emphasis is on the first syllable. i will say it to you on the phone. <3

the blim game

i have a sickened feeling this is turning into ban-annas all over again.

now i really have to go, adios sandbox <3

Bye, estela

this is turning into ban-annas all over again

whaajaaaa??

am still laughing about grape-ius haus

they were all going out on the boss' boat and l said "oh is it going to be cold on the water maybe i should wear some tights." as she was hiking them up her short skirt billowed and c saw all of her womanliness

― jergins, Thursday, May 28, 2009 12:13 AM

things you already posted on lxy & jergins' board???? get outta here!

it's not fit for the pristine waters of our oasis is all
also Spurious Gossip

guess what special day it is today

june 7th

smoove u r into printing right?

yes i am, in fact right now i am sewing up some books

and yes you are in one sense right about this special day

which reminds me: lxy did i promise to send you a miniature book awhile ago? if so, it IS coming, just haven't had time to make it

ruby, whether or not you promised one, i'm certain i need one! yes, please

have a terrific time with our sister-in-jaffas!

did you like the jaffas?

<<<333 the jaffas!!!

what do u know about letterpress printing? ari is interested in it & i was thinking of getting her one of these cheap-ish ~$200 tabletop presses they seem to always have on ebay as a bday present... dunno if the quality is good enough? or how hard it is to cut & make ur own plates? any thoughts or is this outside yr area of expertise

i want one too max

max: i'm not really much of an expert on letterpress, not on the equipment side anyways. but a table top press is a good start for someone new to printing. the problem is you kind of need a lot of stuff to go along with it and you need a lot of space - does she want to do images or text or both? you can pick up type cases from junkyards sometimes for cheap, but they're really heavy and often missing a lot of letters. then you need frames and quoins and furniture, rollers and inks and spacers and composing sticks. to make your own plates you need to know how to make photo polymer plates (although i guess she could make wood cuts too, although i'm not really sure how difficult this). how much experience does she have with letterpress? if she doesn't have much, instead of buying her an actual press i would suggest offering to buy her classes where she could learn how to make plates or get more experience printing. are you in NY? in san francisco there is a place called the Centre for the Book, and after you've taken their beginner and intermediate classes you can hire their presses and have access to all their equipment for pretty cheap. there's probably something similar where you live. it's just really expensive to get started doing this otherwise, and this way she can learn heaps before making the commitment to buying her own stuff.

i don't really know much about the presses themselves, so i couldn't tell you if any of the ones on ebay are any good.

lxy: estela told me you have enormous boobs

well i know that first post was directed toward me but the second one sounds much more interesting

i actually said 'giant mcguffins' but let's not quibble.

anyway thank you--i sort of imagined that a class was a better way to go about it but i was hoping it would be easier to just buy a press since its always nicer to have a physical gift to give! she has no experience with letterpress; shes a part-time designer and i think she wants to expand and start making her own business & greeting cards and stuff, not on any kind of serious or large scale but just as a hobby, & she loves the look & feel of letterpress-printed material. i think the equivalent of the thing yr talking about is a place called the arm in NYC or at least its the hipster letterpress place... does $125 daylong workshop + $15/hr rental seem right? thank u again for yr help!

giant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacGuffin

$125 for a day long class sounds good - here's the equivalent class at SFCB: http://sfcb.org/php/classes.php?id=T2-060509-PRT also, i think $12-15 p/hr is pretty standard, depending on how much equipment they have.

what about: buy her the class (like, make a fake certificate saying you'll pay for it) and as a physical gift buy her some really nice fabriano paper or cardstock (or some other high quality paper) she can print on?

a press is a big expense, like i said - the press itself is merely the beginning, and she won't be able to do anything with it till she knows how to use it correctly and has all the equipment. the classes will give her a grounding to decide if it's worth the investment. lino-cuts are also something she should look into - it'll give her more freedom to actually create a design block to print with and they're pretty easy to make, i think.

estela: i was trying to be a little euphemistic in my paraphrasing

maybe i was talking about lxy's sizable plot elements and you misunderstood me.

wtf is goin on in this thread

yeah i know shes done linocuts before--i think what shes interested in w/ letterpess is the texture u can achieve. but i shouldnt speak for her. thanks 4 the advice i will let u know how it goes--maybe we will send u a card in the mail

hey jergs were just talkin about printing presses and lxys plot elements what caught her viewers attentions

lino cuts can be run through a letterpress - it's the rolling of the press that forces the impression on the paper, and it also depends on the type of paper you use (it's thickness and softness)

see u are a letterpress expert!!!

and a lxys boobs expert

estela gave me:
lots of choc bullets
lots of jaffas
pineapple lumps
perky nanas
marmite (about 7.5yrs' worth)
jelly snakes

i don't think lxy's boobs are appreciating this disrespectful talk

i think u mean lxys "perky nanas"

or perhaps her "pineapple lumps"

estela check your email <3

tsk xp

tsk

looooooooolz xp

i mean tsk xxp

tsk xp

holy mother of god how did this spiral out of control in the short time i was on the telephone??!

we don't know but we are all very sorry.

also LOL xp

or xxxp perhaps?

yeah sorry for talking about yr choc bullets

ruby and ytth gave me a beautiful book they made.

and last week lxy gave me a beautiful stencil she made (well two really, they are a set).

<3<3<3 basically

i mean this week.

still wtf

ask the porch.

but only while on the porch, because otherwise no one's talking

well, except estela, about my boobs, apparently

it's the figure-8 of trust, apparently

ha!

it'll be funny when max meets lxy, he won't be able to look her in the eyes

lx plz wear your SAY HELLO TO THE TWINS t-shirt

lxy "i should get sweatpants that say that across the butt"

lol

just two bags of fun so lets be cool

i really came here to post about how much i liked meeting ytth and how nice it is to see him and ruby so happy but lxy's captivating chest mugged my typing.

i forgot to things from the estela gift list:
block of cadbury dairy milk
two whittaker's peanut slabs

the cadbury didn't taste weird at all - true NZ cadbury! and we have been pacing ourselves with all this lollies, i'm quite proud of myself, actually.

Wait did estela go to us and I missed it?

sorry tza we didn't want to tell you because you'd be sad...

Good job keeping quiet, jerks

;_;

feisty a continent away. thanking u

probably coming to seattle weekend of september 12 - you guys better be around!

oh hey! we'll put this on the calendar!!

hey great!

do u guys ever feel like ur leaving me and silvaviver and harbl and am0n out of all these plans

hey remember how it was a nightmare organising people for tza's fap? well this is how it's gonna work if we come visit, since i hate organising stuff: we will figure out a time we are free, lxy and jergz will recommend venue, we will broadcast this info and ppl can either come or not. as long as lxy/jergz/tza/lingz turn up we'll be happy

am0n doesn't come round here no more

probably jergins fault

that's pretty much my theory

i'm pretty sure jergins is am0n

the burden is on you all to disprove it

pambl0n

i do feel left out of the plans btw

pambl0na, spain

kinda shocked estela flew over to the west coast and didn't tell me about it. i would buy her a cupcake.

this one btw
http://afridgefulloffood.typepad.com/my_weblog/images/cupcake_blue_stripe_aaa.jpg

thats a little forward dont you think

i don't think, i feel

<3

t.silaviver are you a real life meeter of ilxors, because i had a notion you wouldn't be.

i would like to meet the whole sandbox, the sandbox is the cream of the crop, i may have expressed this view before. i was sorry i was in seattle too early for tza.

i have met former ilx (and sandbox) poster gr80, r.i.p.
smoove operator was trying to cook up some scheme that involved me waiting in line at a museum, but the timing wasn't good for me so some other trip, j ; )
i had sorta plans to kick it with max before he left la but then something bad happened to me, and i wasn't around for a while, and then he was gone ;_;
i was in new york last winter and wanted to meet tza but way too many family commitments (and awkward explanations lol)for me to make plans
i would meet any and all sandboxers in la, but i am a nocturnal creature, so meeting me involves late nite drinx 99% of the time
but i would make an exception for you, estela.

i can't believe you would make exceptions for estela but didn't meet me :(
well, i can. estela is a+

i am trying to get my sister to move to la so maybe one day...

when i'm travelling w/family, it's too "complicated"
when i'm on my home turf, i can do my own thing

i think the thing that screwed up nyc is that roxy said she was gonna be there for new years but then she flaked. i was sorta depending on her to be the one to plan stuff.

i had a party you coulda come.

you live(d) like a couple of blocks from where i did 15 years ago iirc ....that would have been lol.

sigh

when are you coming to baltimore t. silaviver

sandbox world tour 2009?

i have friends who say really good things about baltimore, so maybe one day

lol yes i tried to convince saliva to come to a book signing with us and get books signed for me (since there was limit per person). the problem for us is that we're probably never going to be in LA for more than a 3 days at a time, and if we're going it's usually for a particular event, so time is always gonna be tight - but maybe next time!

god i love la

there is always next year, t.silaviver, i will return then.

does your family know about the sandbox? have you ever tried to explain it to them?

what would they say

do they know you like to revive threads, and would they understand

do you revive your children's humiliating experiences irl? my parents do that ;_;

my siblings do that

to piss me off

lol, reminds me of estela zing when i mentioned arguing with my wife and she asked if i was reviving old arguments (which is kinda what actually happens when you've been married a long time like me) also, lxy or someone asked similar question about me embarassing my kids by bringing up old stuff.

my wife does not really know i have this internet persona, she used to ask why i spent so much time on ilx and i said "oh, just reading about music" she was a little weirded out when i told her i was meeting gr80, she didn't realize i had "internet friends." lately, she's noticed that i'm in chatz with people and finds that odd as well.

i'm all about compartmentalizing

i think i am getting something cool in the ups today

someone was planning to mail me coffee but it didn't work out, so i am not expecting anything cool in the mail.

i bought a pizza stone with my leftover lexisnexis points so i am making my own pizza rn. in a tiny kitchen. i wonder if i will be able to make it pizza shaped.

registered nurse?

right now!

oh duh, thx

my pizza was great btw

that was t., this is rn.

by s. estela hinton

so cheeky

pretty sure we can come to seattle... got my green card interview date today!!! july 30!!!

hey if any of you would like to sign an afadavit stating that my marriage to ytth is bona fide to your knowledge, it'd be helpful ;)

Sure why not? But will they appreciate it if my reasoning for believing in your marriage is stated as 'lolinternets'?

can't see that being a problem! i was only half-serious - i think we should be able to find enough people to sign affidavits.

how does it feel to be on west coast time, tza

also: shilling our new book -

http://chancepress2.wordpress.com/2009/06/17/serafini/

kewl!

i had a dream l&j was back ;_;

Aw.

It feels weird, smoove. I tried super hard but passed out at 10 or so last night and then I woke up and thought it was noon but it was like 640 lol.

hey max, i just came across this site, not sure if you already know about it, or if it's close to you and your lady:

http://www.centerforbookarts.org/about/contact.asp

it looks pretty rad

hey cool dude!! thank you!!!

as predicted tehersa arrived before the postcards from peru, but arrive they did, just today.

also proof that i was utterly incorrect when i stated above that i wasn't expecting anything cool to arrive in the mail. i forgot about the perucards! oopsie.

ps i am sitting here drinking coffee

i am sitting here learning about sales

i would like coffee but i think it is too late

i am making bread also but it has to rise for 18 hours and i keep going to the kitchen to stare at it and guess how many times bigger it is than when i mixed it :(

also i think about becoming a christian and opening a christian bakery called "He is risen" ^_^

a man walked by playing a tin whistle

i found a piece of paper with LXY written on it, it was under some books on my desk.

i love that lxy to death.

the paper one and the real girl on a porch one.

Aw.

I am sitting on my new air mattress which feels really luxurious after the floor.

i have got a tin of pins.

Tsk!

when we were children our parents would buy us these inflatable paddling pools and every summer someone (there were six children) would give into the temptation to stick a pin into it and then we would have to wait a year for the next one. i only did it once but it was thrilling, i don't know what was best, the stealth or the wild accusations or the denials. i accused my sister of my handiwork in a voice of shocked outrage, i selected her because i believed she had done it the year before when i was the one who had got wrongly collared.

none of the children cared who had done it because we all understood the allure.

I wish I'd been that gutsy as a wee one.

Also lxy I hope you like the card even though I was mortified when I translated it!

oh heavens yes, tehresa, i love it! you are correct, the front does no justice whatsoever to the back.

please forgive me for neglecting to thank you in my original post. how ungrateful of me.

this has been on my desk for weeks:

Wow!
