28137. arkymalarky - 8/8/2014 9:06:59 PM well, my parents are officially moved out of their old house into a house which is a lot flatter than their old house. And thank goodness they managed to get all that done with me out of state. 28138. arkymalarky - 8/8/2014 9:23:04 PM PE,
Like Judith said, we got info from PP and Diva and I'm not sure where there is any more info. Diva posted a bit more specific info in the perfect world. 28139. arkymalarky - 8/8/2014 9:27:16 PM I've I had a lot of shifts in focus since the old fray and early mote days, but I still thought of irv often. Some people in your life just stand out that way no matter how much you lose touch with them. 28140. Ms. No - 8/9/2014 12:47:04 AM Arx,
How was Ray LaMontagne? I like him a lot. 28141. alistairconnor - 8/9/2014 4:44:26 PM Looks like I've been away. Thanks, Wabbit, for the pan, but in my last three places I've been meaning to get a gas stovetop because electricity sucks. For cooking. The induction rig is at Madame's place (which I thought I would be housesitting while she was back home in Morocco but we had a fight and I'm back at my place). Here I've got a halogen stovetop. All nice and clean but just a bit sucky for cooking with. 28142. alistairconnor - 8/9/2014 4:52:49 PM In other news...
There is a demon in my bookcase.
A djinn, actually. She's been there for four hours now, glaring out at me. Not actually born spontaneously from my evil books, but left here by my stepson, gone on holiday with his mother. 28143. arkymalarky - 8/9/2014 6:55:39 PM He was great No! Bought a CD since I was not familiar with him, but he's one of Tommy's all time favorites. Mose and stan prefer amos lee but I liked lamontaigne better. The opening act I did not care for at all. They were Belle Brigade and played what seemed like forever to me. It was over an hour and a half before lamontagne ever even came out and started.
The climb to gen admin seats was unreal. I love red rocks but it ain't for the faint of heart--literally. 28144. arkymalarky - 8/9/2014 9:37:47 PM Guess PE didn't have any interesting anecdotes or memories to share.
Waiting at the Ned laundromat for clothes to dry and being sad to leave but looking forward to having cell and internet at home, to say nothing of a laundry room.
Alistair, I looked at that pic at least 3 times before I saw the cat. Very cool. 28145. judithathome - 8/10/2014 5:55:58 PM I'm wondering if that is a copy of Sex And The City on the top shelf!
Great cat, by the way. 28146. Ms. No - 8/10/2014 8:48:05 PM Hmmm, I'm not familiar with Amos Lee or Belle Brigade. The closest I've ever come to Red Rocks is listening to the U2 Album: Under a Blood Red Sky.
I feel ya on the laundry --- I've been carting mine to Sudz Yer Dudz for the last 8 years, and I'm damn tired of it, but I like my place too much (and I'm too lazy and cheap) to move somewhere that's got laundry. 28147. Ms. No - 8/10/2014 8:51:08 PM Great pic, AC!
The only critters at my place are the daddy long-legs (bitty, teeny, ones compared to Arkansas and North Carolina) that spread out in comfort for the six weeks I was gone.
Now I've got three webs that are creeping me out, but that I also feel superstitious about destroying. I'm sure I'll get there. 28148. arkymalarky - 8/10/2014 10:13:31 PM we're almost to Pueblo and my car just got pulverized with hail. 28149. arkymalarky - 8/10/2014 10:21:07 PM Amos Lee started as a school teacher. He said that the guitar he was playing is one he bought with his first six teacher paychecks. 28150. wabbit - 8/11/2014 12:09:10 AM Amos Lee!
Cats + books, what more do you need? Who is the Cory Doctorow fan?
Arky, I loved your parent's house on the very steep hill, but am glad to hear they've moved. Safe trip home!
Ms. No, I am allergic to spiders, my only known allergy. I try not to kill them as long as they are not in my space, but if they are, I squash while apologizing. 28151. arkymalarky - 8/11/2014 12:39:56 AM Thanks Wabbit! Staying in Amarillo and going to visit Mose on the way home tomorrow. Get to see their new place--the reason we got tickets to two red rocks concerts. We're bringing them t-shirts. 28152. alistairconnor - 8/11/2014 6:43:07 PM Judith! No!! The Town and the City. Jack Kerouac. I bought it in Lowell, Mass. quite a while ago.
Wabbit : Ostensibly I buy them for my daughters, but I'm a fan. 28153. judithathome - 8/11/2014 11:14:01 PM Alistair, I was just "funnin'" ya!
Believe it or not, we drove through Lowell, Mass. and searched for Keoruacs house.
The highway we drove in on was "sans" a billboard claiming this was the city where he was born and had lived...and I thought that was criminal, that they hadn't bragged to the skies it was so. 28154. vonKreedon - 8/12/2014 11:15:31 PM Well, I'm late to the wake, but so sorry to hear about Irv's death. Only met him once, when he came in to Microsoft in Redmond to meet with Slate's powers that be and we had lunch. 28155. Ms. No - 8/13/2014 3:55:43 AM Hiya, Cos! 28156. vonKreedon - 8/13/2014 4:21:59 PM Hey there Cos, how's life?
