Say something nice about another ILXor

I feel stupid for only now noticing within the last few months how essential a poster katherine is

thanks, al!

I always enjoy qualmsley's posts. NickB cracks me up online and is a great fella, has excellent music taste and knowledge and judging by the couple of times I've met him is a very nice fella irl.

Always admire new noodle vague on politics threads and music threads.

Also I am drunk on a train. Much love to all you ilxors really hic xxxxxxx

ha i'm getting irritated by the sound of my own posts lately so thanks

your posts have been consistently awesome, honest, and smart

yas, ive had to slow down my typical skim reading when im like oh noodle vague did this

in orbit is irl fun, incisive, damn stylish (self AND home interiors), and majorly otm!

You say the nicest things! I'm so glad you got home finally with no more airport torture.

lol "stylish," you were here on the coldest day in like 30 years, who would even know what style was under the 17 layers? I didn't even wash my hair the whole time you were here.

your entire apartment is stylish, and layers hide not a stylish person with her enviable haircut! Also, teach me how to wear pins.

I think we all love ZS fr conferencecall.biz, but I also have to give him probs for his wonderful music, which postrocks my socks.

PROPS not probs, sheesh.

i've never heard his jams! on the record as a fan of his posts tho

ZS is a human magical-Mary-Poppins-carpetbag of talent

ryan and schlump go back and forth is the best thing

the back and forth of agreeable film nerds! ;) Thanks

indeed!

otm

i am glad the cast of characters toasting this indelible relationship are other Major Players in its unfolding
feel like Ryan & I need something juicy to disagree about hysterically

I keep wanting to OTM emil.y lately but I worry it'll get repetitive and crepey so I'll just do it once here. emil.y, you are generally OTM.

OTM

yes

yesssssss

TOTES

Undeniable.

Turns out imago is a lovely man who put up with my stream-of-blether about barth, accents, scott walker, daniel kitson, beer, daisies, gass, david thomson and paul anderson. V glad to meet meet ya L

Should warn everybody tho that I introduced him to elkin's famous defence of maximalism

My editor at Random House, Joe Fox, used to tell me, “Stanley, less is more.” He wanted to strike—oh, he had a marvelous eye for the “good” stuff—and that’s what he wanted to strike. I had to fight him tooth and nail in the better restaurants to maintain excess because I don’t believe that less is more. I believe that more is more. I believe that less is less, fat fat, thin thin and enough is enough. There’s a famous exchange between Fitzgerald and Thomas Wolfe in which Fitzgerald criticizes Wolfe for one of his novels. Fitzgerald tells him that Flaubert believed in the mot précis and that there are two kinds of writers—the putter-inners and the taker-outers. Wolfe, who probably was not as good a writer as Fitzgerald but evidently wrote a better letter, said, “Flaubert me no Flauberts. Shakespeare was a putter-inner, Melville was a putter-inner.”* I can’t remember who else was a putter-inner, but I’d rather be a putter-inner than a taker-outer.

so if he doubles down on his LJness u can all blame me ;-)

ban all pop music; stop watching television everyone, you're all thiiiiick

wins is a fine, fine fella & a magnificent conversationalist/drinking-slash-dining partner; also, he doesn't leave a mess but does leave presents in the shape of William Gass books, which on first glance appear very promising indeed. all in all thoroughly recommended as a houseguest.

& for my part I forced an episode of Xavier: Renegade Angel on him*, so you know who to blame when his wordplay finally attains a total synthesis of ego/id counterpoint

*that he'd already seen. obviously it's the best TV show

That sure sounds like a thorough visit!

no encounter is complete without a mandatory viewing of Xavier Renegade Angel

Haha that show is awesome and weird :D

da croupier bringin it of late

croup has opinions and i enjoy reading those opinions on a message board

I don't even care about half the shit he talks about but I enjoy his posts

also made a spotify playlist that reminded me that Bonnie Raitt's 'Nick of Time' exists which is the greatest gift one can give iirc

i think marcos is so cool and wd kiw him for real

Sometimes Crabbits gets down on herself, and then I am mildly shocked that she doesn't understand what an amazing person she is. She always seems to me to be talented, thoughtful, funny, caring and kind. You'd be hard pressed to find a single ilxor who'd disagree with me on that.

Yo, crabbits is not only one of my all time favorite ilxors but one of my all time favorite people IN THE UNIVERSE; it makes me sad that so many ppl on earth will never get to hang out w her IRL

maybe she could hold a big stadium event

like amma

crabba

i met crabbits she is indeed awesome!

also marcos is very nice and sort of a role model for me atm, lol

you guys are too nice; marcos rules

Crabs rules, always enjoy da croup, the most of y'all are good eggs, it doesn't get said enough.

marcos post on gay thread plz
