Make like Ray and join your community board (but don't expect to be put in charge)

Per usual, Ray is the only Girls character worth taking cues from (or even paying attention to at all, really, except maybe Hannah's dad, Tad), and last night he achieved a major victory: landing a spot as chair of his local Community Board. Of course, that's not actually possible for a person who's only been to one previous board meeting, but still, we're happy for him, despite the puzzling Marnie fixation. (Note to Ray: Shosh is way more interesting than Marnie.)
