a friend of mine once claimed that the lyrics to the national geographic explorer theme were 'i am a lion, i'm going to jump on this gazelle'
thread title scans nicely, so i get that theme in my head whenever i open it

we are here for two weeks, working remotely. there's a big storm raging at the moment, supposed to continue through the day. so far we haven't lost power. let it hold on for 31 more minutes so jergins can finish the online thing he's doing, then bring the outage!

and for deems and others: it's smaller than your island, closer to inishbiggle than achill. if there were an inishlittle, it'd be like that.

but no church and no old post office.
― lxy, Tuesday, 16 February 2021 17:12 (three years ago) link
no nothing but some houses
― lxy, Tuesday, 16 February 2021 17:13 (three years ago) link
Theres four things about inishbiggle
The bullet c@lveys originate there
They have an annual matchmaking festival still
The bullsmouth sound between it and achill is, according to my father, the fastest ocean current in europe
They wanted a cablecar but the only place they could thin of to put the other end of it was grandmas garden and grandmas boy kevin picked up the phone to the taoiseach and that was that for cablecars in grandma macs garden and there were ructions for years but we didnt care

If one wanted to google maps streetview grandma macs house based on that info one could
We were more often at our nannys house down dookinella anyways tbh

i am thinking about harbl, about all the things i would cook for her if she were here, and about what we would all cook together if we were all here, and about how there’s no need for a debate about islands, we’ll just have two different box parties in two different places at two different times, and won’t that be a dream?
― lxy, Friday, 18 February 2022 18:51 (two years ago) link
a dream is a wish your heart makes
