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

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 :(
