Morning,
I am good. Iâm fine. More importantly: How are you?
Oh hey, guess what? Turns out Elliot will be away in a couple of weeks. For work, you ask? For a funeral? For a frontal lobotomy? Nope: for a wedding on a sprawling romantic goat farm in Vermont. One of his bffs from college. Never even occurred to him to invite me. He just announced it like you might announce a dentist appt.
To play devilâs advocate: itâs a wedding. Kind of unfair to ask people who youâve never even met to pay an extra hundred bucks to cover their old palâs new girlfriend. Still . . .

Iâm sure thatâs it. Believe me, thereâs plenty of things I think you should take personally. But this isnât one of them.
And I am good! A 3rd-grader threw up on my shoes this week. x

I donât think New York has changed too much. I mean . . . is everyone having threesomes and doing blow off the sidewalk? Sure, that.
Headed out into the mean streets of the West Village tonight for some party in some friend of Emilyâs apartment.
Milk a goat for me,

I think we as a society need to re-examine this whole âwedding hashtagâ phenomenon. I donât need to see a picture of the #LevyPartyfor2 table centerpiece from everyone with a goddamn iPhone.
Howâs Ellie? Just an FYI, I will regretfully be âunable to attendâ if #ElliotandEllie is rekindled.

Towards the end of the night she kept saying how great it was to catch up and how she hadnât been dating because she was trying to âwork on herself right now,â and I could tell she wanted me to make a move and literally the whole time I was just thinking, âI wish Madeline was here, I wish Madeline was here.â Dunno what I was thinking not inviting her.
Then I ended up smoking a
