@jennifersellis hi jennifer, i’m not on here much so please email me at [email protected]. not sure i can do this but happy to hear more

[Jeff Himmelman @Jeff_Himmelman]

@franklinleonard that was sick

[Jeff Himmelman @Jeff_Himmelman]

@MWaner19 never go in the ocean

@niawag1 i feel like “pizza” is lying underneath all of this, so deep that you couldn’t even speak it

[Jeff Himmelman @Jeff_Himmelman]

@niawag1 this is like when you took on pizza a while back. people get it but you’ll never win

[Jeff Himmelman @Jeff_Himmelman]

@niawag1 thanks! i’m actually in california at the moment, here for two weeks to try to close out some research for my book about alcatraz. getting to talk to beck and ryan adams for that piece was also pretty sweet

[Jeff Himmelman @Jeff_Himmelman]

@stephenrodrick if i ever was myself…

[Jeff Himmelman @Jeff_Himmelman]

@davidmyaffe thank you! are you writing about the new record?

[Jeff Himmelman @Jeff_Himmelman]

@partialobs @washingtonpost i had the exact same thought

[Jeff Himmelman @Jeff_Himmelman]

@nathanheller @MaryNorrisTNY agree, but doesn’t pulling this part of the quotation without including what immediately precedes it fundamentally misrepresent what salinger meant?

[Jeff Himmelman @Jeff_Himmelman]

@niawag1 i never open the door without checking for that cat. nemesis-level

[Jeff Himmelman @Jeff_Himmelman]

@niawag1 the gray one?

[Jeff Himmelman @Jeff_Himmelman]

@niawag1 i didn’t get it, afraid to say

[Jeff Himmelman @Jeff_Himmelman]

@semaforben i had this (obviously) but i didn’t report it in my book for the same reasons bradlee and the paper didn't

[Jeff Himmelman @Jeff_Himmelman]

@GhostofXmasAss holden was playing like a fool from the first whistle

[Jeff Himmelman @Jeff_Himmelman]

@lizzieohreally @shamblanderson the writing just absolutely rips. “an ancient piece of hardware designed to run the cutting-edge software of our souls” i mean come on

[Jeff Himmelman @Jeff_Himmelman]

@PanRationalis this is correct

[Jeff Himmelman @Jeff_Himmelman]

@niawag1 if only
