As you have probably seen on this internet website before, there is a web series called Tiny Apartment. The web series is made by friends of the Bwe blog, Mike O’Gorman, Jess Cantrell and Pat Driscoll. In this particular episode, there is much discussion about The Wire, and there are cameos by Will Forte and Bwe’s own Sarah Walker and Noah Garfinkel (me). I say all three of those names in one sentence because we are all on the same level success/career-wise. Me, Sarah, and Will Forte are doing great with our lives. Sometimes, the three of us all sit together and count our money and future projects, and we all finish counting at the exact same time because that’s how identical all of our money/present/futures are.
