Grabbing a laptop out of the flames and immediately blogging about the fire = best example of "firsties" yet?

it was pretty surreal to see this on twitter -- your place fucking burning down obv seems like something that will never happen to you or anyone you know -- anyway good to see that it ended up probably as good as it could've -- too bad it wasn't the free drake show that caught on fire

sorry i didn't see this sooner whiney, glad you're ok, and that you didn't lose more than you did. what a terrible thing.

(^^ sense-of-humor-wise, I am still kinda laughing about how multiple music writers showed up with boxes and Whiney said "this is like Da Capo's Best Helping-out-after-a-Fire 2010." it would probably have been faster to get five reviews of the fire than actually clean anything up.)
(umm obviously Whiney has friends who aren't music writers, but the music writers are the ones where I know who they are)
― oɔsıqɐu (nabisco), Thursday, 17 June 2010 21:24 (thirteen years ago) link
Hahaha, thanks for remembering my jokes because I def was too frazzled to remember them! Yeah, including me it was FIVE music writers and 100 boxes.

sorry that happened--I lost all my stuff in a fire 7 years ago (woke up to find my ceiling on fire with flaming bits falling onto the bed.) Got a pretty big settlement from the lawsuit, but that took 4 years.

any idea when your place will be habitable again?
btw, i almost gasped when i read this:
Against fireman’s wishes and defying any modicum of common sense, my first instinct was to dive inside the burning building and save my laptop. This I did. I’m typing on it now.
that's a lot of risk for a laptop.

anyway, i said it before, but it's worth repeating: very, very glad to hear you're okay.

it was someone from the future trying to stop the publishing of the hipster puppies book, which ends up leading to the end of civilization as we know it. whiney from the future killed the arsonist but died in the fire.

now who knows what will happen...
Whiney, have you done anything about smoke damage? My memories of the fire in my apartment a little distant (it was 1982), but I remember that smoke damage was pretty deep and instantaneous and the smell of soot won't go away until you address it properly -- won't wash out of clothes without certain chemicals, all your recovered stuff (books, records, jewel cases, etc etc) has to be treated; when it's just sitting in boxes it's just soaking in the smell. I also remember that we were so drenched in the smell, having moved lots of the smoky stuff we salvaged with us to a hotel, that we didn't at first notice it, but man, the people who worked in the hotel sure did.
Fire insurance can go a long way toward this type of thing. Hope you had plenty. Anyone reading this who isn't really interested in experiencing all the details of this type of nightmare firsthand -- GET FIRE INSURANCE.

My girlfriend and I are friends with Rose and were there all day wed packing her apt and moving it to uhaul on 4th ave. Had no idea music critic and fellow ILXor was doing the same in downstairs apt. I'd been to your building before, it was a good location and the yard was nice except for the giant slugs. Sorry you had to go through that and good luck...

The fire, or the giant slugs? o_O
