70 years later and this corner has not changed much at all.

Honestly I love gang of youths songs because they're all always "sad dead man convinces his boyfriend not to jump off a roof" "struggling with my faith" "is there any point to loving" and the rest of them are just *three songs just being violin transitions to other, more dramatic songs with the same base melody* and every song is either instrumental or has extremely eloquent lyrics and I just love goddamn Gang of Youths songs.

yourusername welcome to my post game penalty box update show: my boyfriend’s teammates were the most entertaining part of this game edition!

while that’s true, the best part (third best part) of this game is that TREVOR IS AT EIGHT GAMES SINCE HIS LAST PENALTY! MY LIL DEVIL HAS BEOME A SAINT! ALL HAIL!

while this wasn’t a fun loss, this was an entertaining game. stromer got a “gordie howe hat trick” meaning he got a goal, an assist, and had a fight all in one game! he did this is less than two periods! then he grinned like a psycho! and grant and carrick went 2 v 1 against nemeth in a fight!! needless to say, i was jumping on the couch!

and z picked up a point with an assist tonight! and the team got a point, but didn’t snag the second in the end. bitch ass aves ihy. ANYWAYS— i love you, always, z🧡 create some chaos for me, please?

[eenkleinleven]

do you (or anyone else) perhaps know how much Jude and Willem would do their weekly walks?? Im so curious about how long that would take in NY

I love this question because it allows me to combine two things I love: A Little Life, and looking at maps. I picked out a couple of passages describing some of Jude's walks and I've reconstructed them to the best of my ability below the cut.

In short: none of these walks are, like, impossible. They're more than doable, actually. (Save for one at the end.) Still, it's insane that Jude was going on such long walks every Sunday. Completely inadvisable.

I should note up top that Google's walk-time estimates reflect a pretty leisurely pace.

I had to estimate where the theater would be, since there's not really any theaters on Irving, but it's a fairly short street.

Total distance: 8.7 miles

Estimated time: 3 hours and 18 minutes

That's a long walk.

I should note that he probably passed Andy's office (which is described as being a few blocks north of Madison and 75th) on this route. For reasons that probably come down to zoning, all sorts of specialists have set up shop around there.

There's an anxiety-inducingly expensive restaurant on 59th which sort of fits the bill for the one described here, not too far from what I can only term the "Corporate Law Office District" from 51st to 58th between Lexington and 3rd Ave, so I went with that. I also estimated where on Greene Street they'd be heading, but that estimate is based more on a sort of convoluted hunch I have which isn't worth getting into. I have my reasons.

Total distance: 3.3 miles

Estimated time: 1 hour and 15 minutes

This isn't terrible. I've basically walked this route in 45-50 minutes. But not a good idea for Jude!

I picked a random gallery in Chelsea for the next one, since you have to get away from 8th Ave and 14th a bit to actually get to any galleries.

Total distance: 1.9 miles

Estimated time: 43 minutes

I think Willem made the right call here. It's not a bad walk--it's actually really nice--but a lot can go wrong in 40 minutes.

Now, the mention of having walked every neighborhood in Manhattan stood out to me. This means, among other things, that he schlepped from Lispenard all the way up to Inwood. And back. Assuming that he'd take a different route going back, this gives us:

A 24.2 mile-long walk, which would take a little over 9 hours.

Certified nutjob behavior.
