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.

dunno how much of patron sailor I've seen on here lately but his twitter game is v strong rn

I recently found the Ron Jeremy wrapping paper that Stevie sent me as a secret santa present a couple years back and laughed and laughed. I still have my framed benson pic from him too. <3

Stevie is awesome & i promise that if he ever comes back to Atlanta the accommodations will be much less nightmarish

Thanking you marcos. I have actually had the thought before "Marcos seems like a dude I could chill with and dad out with"

otm. Not a day goes by (unless it's a day I don't get around to looking at twitter) that I don't react positively to something that he tweeted.

What!!? I sent you RON JEREMY wrapping paper!? Where did I even find such a thing!!

That Benson pic though I was soooooooo excited about.

You totally did and I have no idea! It's wrapping paper with pictures of RJ all over it lol.

something nice about another ILXor

clouds that is a great thread that i peak into once in a while, i've had both male & female partners in my life but i'm in a hetero relationship of 10 years or so and mostly identify as hetero and i don't wanna encroach you know. i don't know what the norms are re: that thread. no boys allowed is another great thread that i peak into but there is a strict no boys policy there.

anyone who wants to can post in gaythread; i don't think you'd be unwelcome a'tall

Besides, we save the really raunchy stuff for the TMI thread.

in orbit is a one-woman wrecking crew

mark e sent me a cd all the way from england and wouldn't even let me pay postage. a very nice gesture that has positively affected my mood the past week. thanks!

I ate sugar cubes while sitting on teh dock = the orange was presdnet.
