Hahahah! It was a crazy and amazing night. For me it was that magical New York night where you help your friend plan a surprise for another friend that involved getting an acapella group of NYU kids to serenade her on the street and then drinking heavily including an illegal sold-only-in-Puerto-Rico 10000% alcohol drink that looked like it was in a Capri Sun pouch and getting up to leave you spot your bestie @ajayne chilling across the room and you hug her and Michelle and Billy and Tom and Ian and cannot believe your amazing luck that all your amazing friends are in the same place at the same time despite the city having 8 million people and hundreds of bars.
That strange and amazing New York night where you’re at your friend’s birthday party, your boyfriend arranges to meet his visiting college friends at the same bar, then halfway through the night your old roommate (what’s up, @deefunk?) slash bestie appears to tell you that she and other friends have been at the same bar the entire time and it appears that that particular place on that particular night just happens to be the nexus of your universe?!
synecdoche:this is a real hair salon that exists.
ajayne: @Deefunk, remember back in like January when I was applying to 200000 jobs on Craigslist and this place called me for an interview and I had the deep moral quandary of figuring out if I could actually work at a company called LICENDERS and realized I couldn’t and called back and cancelled the interview? Well LOLOLOL at this post, the end.
That french toast was cooked by moi! The girls said it was “the best french toast they’d ever had.” I told them they must not get out much.
Memories of October brunches gone by…
I am the best at MSPaint! I’m a master technician of the highest skill level!
Look what Danielle made me for my birthday, a personalized greeting from Matt Bush, the whiny kid in the AT&T commercials who never wanted to use last month’s minutes! Once, when I was watching ‘Adventureland’ this happened:
Me: DANIELLE. YOU WILL NEVER GUESS WHO IS IN THIS MOVIE, IT IS MY NUMBER ONE FAVORITE ACTOR OF ALL TIME!
Danielle: Matt Bush?
ME: OH MY GOD YOU GOT IT IN ONE!
So this is pretty much the best birthday MSPaint photo ever.

- Knowing how little you know about what is being said in that first paragraph is making me die of LOLZ
- I also care about this! So cool to know his inspiration from Fortress of Solitude!
- Still laughing about you reading anything from complex.com and that sentence.
This is Jonathan Lethem’s brother Blake, who does some illustration work for Jonathan’s books. I googled him this morning to find more of his art, and came across this article. With sentences like this:
Admittedly, hip-hop heads in the iTunes Age don’t normally extend b-boys their rightful props, but trust that the O.G.s know about this cat.
I admit to understanding very little of what is being said. BUT, this is pretty cool:
In fact, Blake is the role model for the narrator of Jonathan’s award-winning 2003 novel Fortress of Solitude—“Parts of the book are pretty much verbatim from him,” Jonathan confirms.
