OMFG!! we couldn’t believe the glorious news when we got a text message in the wee hours of the morning. We waited a considerable amount of time to make sure it was true, and by golly it is!!!
“Hey New Yorkers, Confession: I took things down for a bit of a timeout but Happy Election Eve and let’s rock. In order to bring you the kind of ‘narratives’ about New York City I always envisioned, I’ve decided to change the way I’m doing things.” [Essentially Emily]
Emily’s back, our prayers have been answered, and on this, the day where we find out who the next leader of the free world will be, we can at least be certain that whoever will be leading our country through this economic crisis, Brill will be with us for good.
“So now the blog is back up and will always be up, but from now on, I’m doing things differently. I’m not going to write for the sake of writing - only when I think I have something different or maybe even important to say. Maybe once a day or every other day. Maybe it’ll only be a few times a week.”
I sincerely hope that you the people realize what a joy it is to have Emily in our lives and that you remember this difficult time we all got through together and it makes you think twice about posting a nasty comment. And Emily, don’t phunk with our hearts again.

It may be election day but it feels more like Christmas morning!!!

OMFG indeed. What’s the betting that her parents sat her down and told that the only way they were going to let her continue was if she cut out the random musings that so unforgivingly reveal her limitations, and set herself a strict editorial agenda that will prevent her from making herself a laughingstock.
While this is what many of us regulars have been advocating from the beginning, the problem is, it contradicts Emily’s appeal. Clearly, 98% of her readers visit purely to see what serving of shallow and repetitive idiocy she has cooked up today, and now, it seems that it’s poised to either one of two ways. Either she’ll either become a very earnest and beetle-browed ‘bear of little brain’, trying desperately hard to emulate the editorializing heights she reached in junior year at Dalton; or, she’ll realize that that makes for terribly boring blogging and revert to her old ways.
There’s a problem with the former, as a) Emily can’t write for jam, and b) she doesn’t seem to possess a particularly deep well of life-experiences to draw upon. As an aside, is it not a damning indictment of our accelerated society to think that you can take a four-day hiatus and return apparently ‘re-made’? If she was serious, wouldn’t it require a little more time and effort, at least a year, say, to work, travel, study kung-fu, or whatever and return with new perspectives?
Instead, I fear that having been exposed to the backwater of notoriety, Emily may have acquired a taste for it.
But then you all know this already, so on a side note - if anybody knows why the f**k I write this, and why I care, could you please send me your answer stapled to the appropriate prescription. It’s a bloody good job lunatics aren’t allowed to vote.
Peace out,
