Nick is right, JMZ remembered going on a trip to some city in OH or IN like ten years ago, and there was a chamber of commerce brochure that mentioned Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments and despite the fact that he had never heard of them, he REMEMBERED that, all these years. Until recently, when I asked if they were any good and he was like "I don't know, but they were mentioned by the blah blah blah in 1997" or whatever and I knew I was in the presence of greatness.

"cheater's heaven" is a great song.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 20:13 (eighteen years ago) link

see, i often remember a lot of stuff (not as much as jaymc, admittedly) but i often refrain from mentioning that i remember things because i feel it is creepy.

OTM

I don't think it's creepy that I remember/know things, but I don't think it's right that I share things that haven't previously been shared, or as to which the person mentioned might want to limit sharing. Or, just, you know, I'm not going to assume that level of familiarity with the subject if I don't actually like know them.

(but I really want to REVIEW ILXORS)

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 20:35 (eighteen years ago) link

ok then do it.

Are you a MAN or a MOUSE?

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 20:42 (eighteen years ago) link

maybe it's like a kind of savant-ism? and b/c most people don't have such abilities, in this case, grand recall, when another's (memory) abilities begin to become obvious, it's kind of weird/creepy. but really, it's just part of who they are. which is not to say it stops being creepy, but it becomes more like, well, just a thing. it does impress me. but look, also: last wkend was spent in the presence of ned and this wkend in the presence of jaymc, right? so i'm all, whoa, OKAY., yeah, re: such things. (and now i sortof wonder what my savantism might be.)

isn't it just photographic?

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 20:44 (eighteen years ago) link

i wouldn't mind being reviewed. train the crosshairs of your critical wankery on me, if you dare. (i always get the impression that ppl think i am a JW side-project)

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 20:48 (eighteen years ago) link

or how much you care? I mean, I might tend to remember things about the people I find more interesting, but if another Ilxor is interested in a different set of people, I might be mildly taken aback by how much they know about people I pay less attention to. Maybe jaymc is just interested in more Ilxors than anyone else.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 20:50 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah, i can remember all kinds of weird little things about people, events, trivia, etc, but can't remember phone numbers, a lot of names, card games, etc. So, yeah, maybe not issues of savantism, but of different brane wiring, what dif people pay attn to, etc.

e.g., this is my kind of "review": Elmo/Andrew is from/in Providence, likes teh music, smokes, seemed kinda quiet, often has eyes at half-mast.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 21:18 (eighteen years ago) link

Is this rrobyn, or did you forget again to log in on your own account, jaymc?

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 21:41 (eighteen years ago) link

i mostly know things like where certain ilxors are from and what bands they like. for example, i remember that alex in nyc is from new york and likes killing joke.

― gear (gear), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 21:46 (eighteen years ago) link

hahaha - it's actually me! (jaymc is on a plane. non-crepey thing about jaymc: he ate poutine for the first time! and it may or may not have had chicken broth in it ohnoes. but he said it was good. also ate: tim horton's doughnut.)

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 21:52 (eighteen years ago) link

i am just reporting.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 21:54 (eighteen years ago) link

I remember when I used to think you were quite old

crosspost to gear

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 21:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Gear's older than I thought he was!

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 22:01 (eighteen years ago) link

oh well, I dunno

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 22:05 (eighteen years ago) link

i felt older when i was 29 than i do now when i'm 31

― gear (gear), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 22:13 (eighteen years ago) link

in 5 years ppl will start calling you middle-aged. be prepared.

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 22:15 (eighteen years ago) link

I think, maybe, it was because you were Gear! and there was a guy called Old Fart! and I got confused

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 22:37 (eighteen years ago) link

i thought gear was younger!

― tehresa (tehresa), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 22:42 (eighteen years ago) link

Hey, gear! do you still live with your mom in Tallahassee?

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 22:44 (eighteen years ago) link

why isn't gear Gear! any longer?

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 22:46 (eighteen years ago) link

i fucked up my password so i had to become 'gear' rather than 'Gear!', which coincided the departure of enthusiasm from my life.

― gear (gear), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 22:53 (eighteen years ago) link

"Gear" is an anagram of "Rage", don't y'all know.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 22:54 (eighteen years ago) link

and "ager"

― gear (gear), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 22:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Gear!'s e-mail address was "drinktoremember", wasn't it?

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 22:56 (eighteen years ago) link

Off the top of my head:

Gear -

* Has an Irish name
* Is from Illinois, Lives in L.A.
* Dated a porn star
* Works in entertainment/media
* Owned a light blue couch
* At one time, shaved his head
* Enjoys a good Steely Dan record.

I have never spoken to Gear off this board, but this is what I've gleaned.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 23:01 (eighteen years ago) link

*Likes to start threads about 'crazy' things that happen to him.

― city of gyros (chaki), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 23:03 (eighteen years ago) link

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 23:06 (eighteen years ago) link

also, facts like the one i just recalled are the sorts that make me feel creepy for remembering/retelling

― tehresa (tehresa), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 23:07 (eighteen years ago) link

i've met a sort-of ilxor and have probably been in a coffeehouse at the same time as remy.

― gear (gear), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 23:08 (eighteen years ago) link

i look like some weird cross between jandek and peter greene and peter weller

― gear (gear), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 23:09 (eighteen years ago) link
