(11:58 PM) | Adam Kotsko:
Best Birthday Ever
Complaining that my last birthday was the worst day of my life (girlfriend broke up with me the day before; roommate left town; people I planned to hang out with that night were all in Chicago; my mom didn't call) really paid off -- I got a wonderful party tonight from the people living in Richard and Adam's Homeless Shelter for College Educated Middle-Class Persons. (The current count stands at six: me and Richard, the permanent residents; Kari, Richard's fiancee; Brett and Tara Smith, facing some bizarre housing problems; and Kevin Crimmins, back in "the Kank" to tie up loose ends before settling in New York City for the next year.)
If you missed this party and would still like to buy me something, that is very possible. Since my actual "birthday" is July 19, you might want to pick one of the more expensive shipping options to make sure it gets to me on time.
Just remember -- Andrew Sullivan gets $80,000 a year in donations from his lame-ass web site. The least I could get is a copy of one of Lacan's seminars.
God bless America! Good night everybody!
