SHASTA OUT

Hi!
I've been lurking and occasionally posting since 2006 (!), but I never introduced myself. Now that I have a new job with a computer and a lot of free time, I've been spending a good portion of my waking hours reading ILX. One of these days I'm going to remember to write my login info down and bring it to work with me, so it seemed like a good time to say hello!
Anyway, I'm 30 and I live in Pennsylvania. I like Neil Young, Luis Buñuel, and Ross Macdonald. I have a wife and 2 cats. See you around!!!

I have a wife and 2 cats.
My first pass at this, I read "I have 2 wives and a cat."

Only found this place fairly recently... dig it SO much. Me? I'm 41... I oversee the (steadily shrinking) music and movies purchasing department for a venerable left-of-center music/movies/clothes/thisnthat chain in New England (Boston is home). Play in a few bands. Uncommonly fond of Zillionaire-era ABC.
Cheers!

wonder what the average age of ILXORs is now.

i think you might be the platonic ideal of an ilx contributor

i don't know who ross macdonald is but i presume he is reflective of some sort of ilxische cultural debility
guessing a comedian
― too cool graham rix listening to neu (nakhchivan), Monday, 11 June 2012 22:11 (eleven years ago) link
Ross Macdonald is the pseudonym of the American-Canadian writer of crime fiction Kenneth Millar (December 13, 1915 – July 11, 1983). He is best known for his series of hardboiled novels set in southern California and featuring private detective Lew Archer.
not a comedian, my apologies
welcome cwkii

cwkiii, hi. i've had ross macdonald recommended to me several times in the past month, weirdly enough. what is the best book to start with.
― tylerw, Monday, 11 June 2012 22:33 (eleven years ago) link
I'd say either The Zebra-Striped Hearse or The Blue Hammer. If you like those enough, then just go through the rest at random until you can't stand him anymore.
― geode maze (cwkiii), Tuesday, 12 June 2012 02:15 (eleven years ago) link
thanks! there's actually a bunch of stuff about macdonald in the recent paul nelson anthology/bio. warren zevon idolized him or something.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 12 June 2012 02:22 (eleven years ago) link
Cool! Yeah, there's a part in Zevon's bio where Paul Nelson takes him to meet Ross Macdonald. I didn't even realize that Paul Nelson book existed! Just looked it up on Amazon and it looks pretty great...

it is good but very very very depressing.

Not sure if this thread still gets much action, but at the recommendation of the one and only Ned Raggett (a most noble person if I do say so myself), I will post a brief introduction for anyone who is interested. I am an adult female who lives in Hudson County, New Jersey. I'm heterosexual (to the best of my knowledge) and happily single. I'm pretty much a low-income person (I don't live in the expensive part of Hudson County, that's for sure). I've lurked for a few years, and I made two previous attempts to register, but each time the site was down! I've made a few posts before posting this introduction. Musically, some of my favorite artists are Nico (from the Marble Index onward), Stereolab (currently on hiatus), and Jason Falkner (I'm pretty sure he still records, but has trouble getting his stuff released). I like others, but those are three of my favorites. I'm also interested in animal welfare, but not the more 'extreme' animal rights movement. I'm an ovo-lacto-vegetarian, but not a vegan. I have no intention of trying to make everyone adopt a meatless diet, but I would like to see cruel factory farming replaced by humane farming practices. I'm currently thinking about creating a Twitter account for myself, but I have a few frustrating obstacles preventing me from creating my Twitter account, that I haven't been able overcome yet.

Thank you for welcoming me to ILM.

hey am curious sometimes. you seem like a cool person. i love the marble index and am also interested in animal rights. i live in middlesex county, nj. i don't really understand what obstacles would prevent you from creating a Twitter account and am a bit confused by that part of your post.

i am concerned that the tentacles of ned raggett reach all the way to NJ.
he must be stopped
― waterface down (jjjusten), Thursday, 5 September 2013 15:19 (ten years ago) link
We need more ned ragget influence in nj not less
― Treeship, Thursday, 5 September 2013 15:20 (ten years ago) link
Ned Ragget is a poser and asshole and must be stopped. Ned Raggett, however, is a fine fellow.
