WDYLL 2021

hi, Karl!

luv u, bb

a confluence of discussing athleisure wear, humpty hump, and just noticing that a wdyll thread exists compelled me to post this:

oh no are you being given a purple nurple

wait, what's a purple nurple?

(i feel like this is the moment in middle school just before you get dunked in a toilet)

(also, HAI everyone! <3 it's crazy how a 7-day ILX break feels like an eternity to me, but it has been a very good time. i feel very good. i'm also taking this opportunity to go full-on BEARDO, i don't give a fuck! last time i got this far i looked in the mirror and resembled my dad, and it was so fucking weird that i immediately shaved. this time, the mirrors are foggy and hang above compost toilets at 90% capacity. it's not a place to dwell or think. or to shave. so i will pass across that mysterious hair-length border that i ran up against a year ago, this time only knowing it by touch. and by smell. for i am smelly. not today, i just took a shower. but starting tomorrow, and again for a long time, yes, very smelly. lol!

"Key West" was the song of 2020

but yes, i will report in with a full on beard update on May 5! i am downloading some more music for the next ll-day cabin binge.

but also, i must say that Éliane Radigue's "kyema", from trilogie de la mort, has been especially excellent. there's this part about 30 or 40 minutes in where it just dissolves to static noise. hard to explain how good that sounds against the backdrop audio of mostly quiet, occasionally bird-crossed forest noise. but it gets there so gradually that it's no shock at all, in fact it is extremely, even unsettlingly pleasant. and then about 5 to 10 minutes later, it's been transformed back into another drone. i don't think it ever comes back, after that. but very good!

"Key West" was not the song of 2020, let me just take that back. but i fucking love that song

Hah I drove past Cedarburg today and was thinking “hmm I wonder how KM is doing out there”

is that close?! i'm near Omro, now, but my main spot is near the Rubicon. to get there, some might say, you have to "cross the" county line and any number of private property lines, but it's in a beautiful spot! there is a lot of land, there is a guy there that wanders and forages and knows about mushrooms, and he tells me about the medicinal and druggy effects of local plants.

:D

wow, chicago has changed

At last -- wilderness reclaimed it!

Blame glaciers.

is that close?! i'm near Omro, now, but my main spot is near the Rubicon

the one time I went to Rubicon I took I-43 to Cedarberg and went west for 25 miles or so. I think it's about an hour away from me. Omro's around Fond Du Lac but I've never been there. Anyway if you take the long way home and wind up near Sheboygan hit me up, I dunno about mushrooms but we got a nice brewery here. anyway, hope you find what you're looking for out there

Great pic! Is that Porsche stanced or is it just a trick of the lens?

There's a pun in here somewhere

DJ Giraffelstein

Clearly we didn't check what each other was wearing before leaving the house

xps

Karl, stop posting photos before I start crushing on you.

Or maybe that's your intention?

The ILX is powered by a naturally aspirated 2.4-liter I-4 producing 201 hp and 180 lb-ft of torque. This engine drives the front wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. In MotorTrend testing, the ILX reached 60 mph in 6.4 seconds.

missed opportunity for "reached 51 mph in 7.7 seconds" but your picture is great.

Little car, big Karl, or big car, bigger Karl.

Thanks! No modifications, just a regular 911 993 Carrera 4. Maybe it's that the phone that took it has more cameras on it than all my previous phones put together.

chilling w some llamas & a one-eyed zdonkey on block island tbh

I don't check this thread often enough but what a treat to see ilx legend Johnny crunch

hard agree

"tbh"

Why, should we normally expect people to lie about which New England island they're chilling at? Is "a one-eyed zdonkey" a former ilxor?

because you should never trust what an ilxor says

"Wait a minute... that's Martha's Vineyard! I've been had!"

heres a better shot of the majestic zeedonk, she deserves to be seen

ok, I had assumed that zdonkey was just a typo.

Don’t you know that when you assume, it makes an… uh...

everybody's got zdomething to hide cept for me and my zdonkey

i shaved my pr beardo after that, and added other things to the painting. they're wip, but mostly done, in the way that i feel like i'm zach_tbd right now tbh. ;D moving into my new studio this week and it feels really good. bleeeeeaeh! :D

btw, no joke, that was the first new clean white t-shift i had worn in worn in like TEN YEARS! i know that's gross, but it's pretty much true. there may have been a clean t-shirt or two somewhere 8-9 years ago. but i went to Target and bought a nice FRESH t-shirt for this trip, and it made all the difference. thank you so much!
