When a thirty-something kid is left playing with the internet.

“

You should keep your current apartment! Jobs come and go, subway systems collapse and are rebuilt, but a good rent stabilized apartment is forever. It is a real possession in an ever-changing city, and gives you protection against getting priced out that many New Yorkers do not have. NEVER LEAVE A RENT STABILIZED APARTMENT! But if you do, can you let me know when it’s available?

Instead of seeing this as a complete catastrophe for your commute, try to reframe it. Make a list of all the books you’ll get to read while sitting in traffic. Or think about how rock hard your glutes will get from biking across the Williamsburg Bridge every day. Consider how many new streets you’ll get to walk down in varying seasons getting to the Marcy Avenue JMZ station.

“But as with everything Lynch, the agreement for the redux came down to instinct: A final piece of the puzzle, say the execs, was a painting in Nevins’ office of a little girl next to a bookcase that looks like it may fall on her. “I was making the pitch about why he should come here and why we would treat his property right, and he mostly stood there and stared at the painting,” Nevins recalls. (For his part, Lynch says the painting wasn’t the deciding factor, but he smiles at the memory of seeing it.)”

I thought about celebrating Breadcrumbs’ anniversary by re-blogging each of my posts and replying to them. Like, one of them complains about how “kids today” won’t get references to Doom II. But that was TEN YEARS AGO! Who even knows what “kids today” do/think/know. I was such a stupid kid TEN YEARS AGO goddamnit.
Anyway, I’m too lazy for celebration. So won’t be doing that re-blogging thing.
But I am writing here again now, so that’s pretty cool!
