DejaHo Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 But where are you? Did a lolcat get your tongue? You were once ubiquitous, but now you are absent. Or are you just a great contributor who contributes no more? PS There are/is no other forum like SL GD. Imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LlazarusLlong Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I believe she may have made a New Year Resolution not to appear in any forums until she had finished reading David Foster Wallace's "Infinite Jest". Rumour has it that she is currently on about page 200, out of 1,100, not including the 150 pages of endnotes. And Wallace doesn't believe in paragraphs. Which obviously affects Lee's occasional "Wall of Text" style posts. Extrapolation of her progress suggests she may return just before Christmas. If she hasn't collapsed in a catatonic coma before then. [i am currently on page 176.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Mistwood Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Ms Absent is absent? Perhaps, like me, she just has the worst internet access available and isn't able to log in. Maybe she has decided we are all a bunch of nitwits and has moved on to more interesting things. I'll go turn on the holotrainer and she if she can be lured out in the open...

LeeHere Absent Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Northern California. No. Okay. Contributor to what, exactly? This forum? The virtual world? The internet? Life? Up until now, perhaps, and once again some time later, maybe. Iyo. Noted. Again. A Welshman told me about this thread. Took me a while to work my way through all those consonants.

LeeHere Absent Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Hi Pam. Nice to see you. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Oh, and you'll likely understand when I happily say that BTSA is behind me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am, it is true, continuing my love of David Foster Wallace by reading more, including interviews with him and essays about him. For example, "Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself" by David Lipsky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satellite in a forest on a rural mountain in NoCal. Yeah, it's like sucking grapes through a straw. Reminiscent of early dial up. Cell phone reception is crap here too. And satellites (there are two out back) are expensive to add insult to injury. But when I step outside onto the porch I feel unaccountably Hemingwayesque. And my neighbors the deer, goats, chickens, cows, and pitbulls have proved to be friendly. Not so much the birds, those bitches. Also, eggs, olive oil, wine, and weed are plentiful here. So, ya know, you win some and you lose some. Such is life. Cinnamon Mistwood wrote: I'll go turn on the holotrainer and she if she can be lured out in the open...
