for those who are sick of the new york time threads.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 18 January 2004 07:37 (twenty-two years ago)

when I wake up I plan on transferring myself from bed to the sofaand if I'm really feeling active, down the two flights of stairs to the pub.

"wildfire," the 70s song?

― mullygrubber (gaz), Sunday, 18 January 2004 07:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I could of course remember to get the beer that's rolling round the boot of my car so I don't have to trouble the pub.

― Ed (dali), Sunday, 18 January 2004 07:39 (twenty-two years ago)

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 18 January 2004 07:48 (twenty-two years ago)

but then she was about to die, and wildfire re-appeared. or i think that's how it went?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Sunday, 18 January 2004 07:49 (twenty-two years ago)

THATS SAD TOO!!!!

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 18 January 2004 07:49 (twenty-two years ago)

She comes down yellow mountain on a dark flat land she rides
On a pony she named Wildfire
With a whirlwind by her side
On a cold and drafty night
Oh they say she died one winter
When there came a chilling frost
And the pony she named Wildfire
Busted down his stall
In a blizzard he was lost
She ran calling Wildfire (3 times)
By the dark of the moon I planted
But there came an early snow
There's been a hoot owl howling outside my window now
For six nights in a row
She's coming for me I know
And on Wildfire we're both gonna go
We'll be riding Wildfire (3 times)

On Wildfire we're going to ride her
Gonna leave it all behind
Yes she's always shining right out of my mind
Riding Wildfire

Thank you Google.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 18 January 2004 07:50 (twenty-two years ago)

hey di when r u coming up here and is it to play?

― hellbaby (hellbaby), Sunday, 18 January 2004 07:50 (twenty-two years ago)

*looks at lyrics again* "She's always shining right out of my mind"? Dear god, the whole country was stoned in the seventies.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 18 January 2004 07:51 (twenty-two years ago)

i dunno
She comes down yellow mountain on a dark flat land she rides seems like the best iopening line EVAH right now.

― mullygrubber (gaz), Sunday, 18 January 2004 07:52 (twenty-two years ago)

oh, ok, it was the DUDE singing the song that was gonna see wildfire and the chick who died earlier riding the pony she named wildfire.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Sunday, 18 January 2004 07:53 (twenty-two years ago)

i.e., the singer-dude was dying at the end ... that's the deal w/ the owls and shit, i suppose.

why couldn't split enz or the bats do a song like that?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Sunday, 18 January 2004 07:54 (twenty-two years ago)

By the dark of the moon I planted

...weed.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 18 January 2004 07:56 (twenty-two years ago)

more like 'shrooms

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Sunday, 18 January 2004 07:56 (twenty-two years ago)

hahaha!

― mullygrubber (gaz), Sunday, 18 January 2004 07:57 (twenty-two years ago)

apropos to nothing ... except that we've got a stoned seventies theme going on here ... look at this funny picture of sonny and cher that i found online:

http://www.pictavia.org/A&S/weapons/media/JWPicts.jpg

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Sunday, 18 January 2004 07:58 (twenty-two years ago)

more like 'shrooms

Either way, I like the idea that the singer was skulking around somewhere planting illicit crops at 1 am.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 18 January 2004 07:59 (twenty-two years ago)

its a subtle line that fills in immense character details

― mullygrubber (gaz), Sunday, 18 January 2004 08:01 (twenty-two years ago)

HAHAHAHAHAHA YOU FUCKERS CRAK ME Up!!!!! yeah everyone wasstonedin then70s, why you think i came out such aretard in 1979/slow spermi tells ya. hey hellbaby we coming to christchruch for waitangiday, gigat creation. even your badass daughter can come!!!!

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 18 January 2004 08:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Um, Eisbar, the explanation for the scenario you described a bit upthread here is that Split Enz wrote "Message To My Girl". Once you write something like that, that's it, you've done it all, you cannot possibly write anything more perfect than that ever again. "Wildfire" does not pull me in nearly as much as that lovely New Wave-era love song does.

Plans for my Sunday night involve probably going to Sunday Mass, going out to dinner after Mass, coming home, and maybe with a bit of luck I will have my new computer set up and will be introduced to the world of decent computers. And maybe with a bit more luck, I will still be able to go online.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Sunday, 18 January 2004 08:04 (twenty-two years ago)

there's a midi playing wildfire ... and mr. murphey is riding on a pony that looks a hella lot like wildfire

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Sunday, 18 January 2004 08:05 (twenty-two years ago)

― mullygrubber (gaz), Sunday, 18 January 2004 08:05 (twenty-two years ago)

i can'ty even figureout what my last post means. the space bar on this keyboard is rooted, its NOT mebeing adrunken slag

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 18 January 2004 08:07 (twenty-two years ago)

my 2 year old just came in, said he wanted to sit up on this chest next to the computer. i says "what for" he says "nuffin" then he says "i just did a great big fart. it smelly" then he gets down and leaves the room.

― mullygrubber (gaz), Sunday, 18 January 2004 08:08 (twenty-two years ago)

*Oh they say she died one winter
When there came a chilling frost
And the pony she named Wildfire
Busted down his stall
In a blizzard he was lost
She ran calling Wildfire*

Waitaminnit... if she's dead, how can she run calling anything? This song makes no sense.

― lopve (lopve), Sunday, 18 January 2004 08:11 (twenty-two years ago)

mebbe she died running out in the blizzard after the horse?

― mullygrubber (gaz), Sunday, 18 January 2004 08:13 (twenty-two years ago)

so, according to you mr. raggett, wildfire is about this hippy dude who brought this hippy chick and her pony to some place in the woods, but it was cold and 'cause they were stupid stoned hippies they didn't properly prepare themselves or properly tend to themselves. so, the hippy chick died of frostbite and the horse ran off 'cause the singer was a stupid stoned hippy who didn't keep the fucking thing tied up. sometime after that, the hippy dude gets smarter and smokes a shitload of weed (or eats a shitload of shrooms) before it snows again and kills the shit -- he gets stoned outta his mind, but because he's still a stupid hippy he's under-dressed as a motherfucker of a snow storm hits. so you got this hippy dude who's zorked outta his mind on illicit substances and the cold, and he hallucinates that the horse and the hippy chick come outta nowhere before he drops dead of frostbite 'cause he's a stupid stoned hippy.

right?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Sunday, 18 January 2004 08:13 (twenty-two years ago)

itsthe protagonistthatscallingwildfire. thisspacebar is fucked. gaz you're two year old is funny. when myniece was two, my dad taught her how to say "i'm a little ocker." laughs ensued. her parents weren't impressed.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 18 January 2004 08:14 (twenty-two years ago)

properly tend to the horse, i mean.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Sunday, 18 January 2004 08:14 (twenty-two years ago)

tad you don't like hippiesmuch do you?

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 18 January 2004 08:15 (twenty-two years ago)

did u go to mr. murphey's webpage, though?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Sunday, 18 January 2004 08:17 (twenty-two years ago)

no.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 18 January 2004 08:19 (twenty-two years ago)

actually, i think that ned (and myself) are wrong about "wildfire" being about being stoned. from mr. murphey's webpage:

Michael also was a part of the country rock rebels of California, where he befriended Linda Ronstadt, Michael Nesmith, Kenny Rogers, members of the Eagles, Roger Miller, Buck Owens, Merle Haggard and founding members of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Michael moved to Colorado in 1974 to get away from the Austin drug scene. Michael Martin Murphey has always been deeply opposed to drug abuse.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Sunday, 18 January 2004 08:20 (twenty-two years ago)

awww

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 18 January 2004 08:21 (twenty-two years ago)

That doesn't make the lyrics make any more sense. And it doesn't near make up for Dan Fogelberg covering the song.

― lopve (lopve), Sunday, 18 January 2004 08:23 (twenty-two years ago)

o yeah...its the guy singin: "she ran caling wildfire", isn't ot?

but he may have been opposed cause he had such an awful experience out there with the chick and horse and the dope?

hahah i forgot eisbar was tad.

― mullygrubber (gaz), Sunday, 18 January 2004 08:23 (twenty-two years ago)

more about "wildfire," from our friends at allmusic.com:

In 1974, Murphey moved to Epic Records, a division of Columbia, and recorded the first of six albums, Michael Murphey, that same year. It was his second album, Blue Sky - Night Thunder, recorded in 1975, however, that marked Murphey's commercial breakthrough. He had first heard the story about a ghost horse rescuing people on the desert when he was a boy, from his grandfather, and Murphey dreamed of something similar one night as an adult and set it down to music and words in half an hour that same evening. The resulting song, "Wildfire," got to number three on the pop charts in 1975 and became Murphey's first gold record. Another song off of the same album, "Carolina in the Pines," also made the Top 30.

i just downloaded this offa soulseek -- there's this piano impromptu at the beginning and the end of it that i'd never heard before. then mr. murphey starts singing about wildfire.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Sunday, 18 January 2004 09:10 (twenty-two years ago)

i love the piano intro/outro. its really touching

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 18 January 2004 09:11 (twenty-two years ago)

So the horse is a ghost? NOW it makes sense!

― lopve (lopve), Sunday, 18 January 2004 09:15 (twenty-two years ago)

thats what i always thought. god that song is sad. i'm gonna listen to it ahwen i get home

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 18 January 2004 09:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I'll probably just watch TV.

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 18 January 2004 12:55 (twenty-two years ago)

― Llahtuos Kcin (Nick Southall), Sunday, 18 January 2004 21:17 (twenty-two years ago)

just listening to josef k's 'heaven sent' and thinking 'franz ferdinand, huh?', waiting fr flatmate w. switch card to get home so i can order a t-shirt off the net; drunk a bottle of san francisco anchor steam and a bottle of tiger and feeling quite sad about how this year's going so far wondering if a girl'll ever look at me like that again and worrying that that might overcome me; watched some buffy series 6 and got doe-eyed; pissed around on ilx; re-arranged my room on friday and it's pretty internet friendly now, so i can sit write stuff at a DESK instead of uncomfortably sitting on the floor in the hall like i used to wondering if anyone on ilx likes me even minna (hi minna!) wondering how hard it is to write like gaddis i mean could you just write anything and then take out the punctuations?

― cozen (Cozen), Sunday, 18 January 2004 21:19 (twenty-two years ago)

40 minutes of my 13 hour shift left. Then I'll sidestep the psychos on my way down to Finsbury Park and get the bus home. Then I'll finish watching my new Ladislaw Starewicz and Jam DVD's. Then I'll go to bed. Oh, the single life.

Well, never got that new computer set up. Am a bit afraid of having it set up at night, because I think I'm going to have to contact my ISP in order for it to work on a new system. Or something. I don't remember specifics. And if I'm going to have to wait to get online, I'd rather wait in the daytime when I could do other things.

My evening's activities did include going to Mass and then grabbing a bite to eat, but then I came home and was still quite hungry so I grabbed a yogurt and slowly savored every spoonful while I read the paper. Then I came upstairs and ta-da, am here. I lead an exciting life, oh yes indeed.

creating cerebro -- a machine that, in the wrong hands, would pretty easily allow its user to kill as many people as they wished to -- was a pretty stupid thing for professor xavier to do.

market basket has flavored shit, two for a dollar or w/e. not a bad deal, and i have like four or five of them

― markers, Monday, 9 September 2013 01:59 (twelve years ago)

is it really sweet or is the flavor sort of subtle? i used to drink insane amounts of coke in high school and then quit doing that and now i can't really handle really sweet beverages.

― zingon grammar (Treeship), Monday, 9 September 2013 02:02 (twelve years ago)

or that's not fully true. for some reason when it's really hot outside coke can still be extremely satisfying to me. which seems backwards because it is dehydrating, i think.

― zingon grammar (Treeship), Monday, 9 September 2013 02:04 (twelve years ago)

i wouldn't say sweet exactly? idk.

as far as coke goes, i'm trying to get off it, but i have a little left right here and some more downstairs (which isn't for tonight)

― markers, Monday, 9 September 2013 02:15 (twelve years ago)

when you're a regular coke drinker, nothing is more satisfying. i only quit by switching to coffee to satisfy the caffeine 1/2 of the addiction. i still drink massive quantities of coffee and i'm not even sure which beverage would be worse for me in the long-run. i can't see myself living without caffeine.

markers, should i get an ipad or an ipad mini for my birthday?

― très hip (Treeship), Monday, 14 April 2014 02:58 (twelve years ago)

sorry, request an ipad or ipad mini. i don't really care to research the specifics. i am mainly going to use it as a calendar etc. to organize my life, utilizing apps, but am also going to read books on it.

― très hip (Treeship), Monday, 14 April 2014 02:59 (twelve years ago)

is there a loss of functionality with the mini?

― très hip (Treeship), Monday, 14 April 2014 02:59 (twelve years ago)

my only advice is def don't get the last one (just "ipad mini"), which is actually the one i have, but i've had it since december 2012, and if you're gonna get a mini you should go retina.

basically, to simplify it, i'd recommend getting either the ipad air or the "ipad mini w/ retina display"

― markers, Monday, 14 April 2014 03:02 (twelve years ago)

http://www.apple.com/ipad/compare/

― markers, Monday, 14 April 2014 03:02 (twelve years ago)

that'll give you an idea of the differences. you want the first one or the third one. the second one is an ipad 4, which came before the air, and you don't want it. the last one you don't want either. the air is bigger than the mini. if you're going to use the thing for mainly reading you may want the mini. they should both run the same apps. if you want input from others, here's where to ask: New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

― markers, Monday, 14 April 2014 03:03 (twelve years ago)

keep in mind that the new iphone coming out this fall will have a larger display than the iphone 5/5s/5c. i don't know if that matters to you, but if i end up getting one of them, there's a chance my next ipad would be an air instead of a mini, because it might be ridiculous to own both a large phone and a small tablet.

― markers, Monday, 14 April 2014 03:06 (twelve years ago)

finally, consider going to an apple store and trying both of them out. whichever one you pick, they're not cheap, and you're gonna be stuck with it for a while so try before you buy.

― markers, Monday, 14 April 2014 03:10 (twelve years ago)

anyway, i'm gonna split for now but you know where to find me if you have other questions!

― markers, Monday, 14 April 2014 03:14 (twelve years ago)

thanks markers! good tip about not getting the regular ipad (with retina display). i'll try to stop by the apple store one day after work.
