Great news, everyone! I am going to be out of the office all day. Sort of. I actually am going to be in the office all day, working on other projects, and my dear collaborator Alex Balk is going to be locked out, running The Awl from some hideous bar where the drinking starts early. Or never stops at all. So be nice to him. You know terrible things always happen to Alex when he works elsewhere. He is going to be super-upset by noon after some child or homeless person or dog poops its pants or dies or steals something. (ALEX, I'm NOT MAKING FUN OF YOU, I'm making fun of us.) So you know... if you see something fascinating, say something! Email him early and often. Thank you. "See" you Friday.

Last night I had bad-dream flashbacks to his kid-talking-on-his-cell-phone-got-hit-by-a-car-and-probably-died story from a few years ago. All because of that did-you-see-the-unicycler-while-you-were-on-your-phone story he gave us yesterday. Which is to say that I have suffered for your kicking Balk out of the office in advance. Alex, please find a bar AND STAY IN IT.
I actually flashback to that story every time I jaywalk across 23rd Street. Every. Single. Time.
So I'll drink
To the wonder, while I wander
If there are gods they must be drunk
Reveling in the madness you and I

Naked office grab: Ur doin' it wrong. Alex, help me demonstrate.
YOU'RE COMING BACK, RIGHT???? PAPA??? I HATE THIS BABYSITTER!!
Oh, is THIS the day Vanity Fair was dropping by to do a big photo-shoot/feature on the "Hottest Bloggers in Town"?
Very "All About Eve" of you, Choire.
With a smattering of "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?"
The Laptop Stays In The Picture
