What Are the New Hipsters Cities to Move To?

No Comments 22 February 2012

Sometimes it feels like there is no place more hipster-plentiful than Austin, Texas. The city has become the poster child of what young creatives and entrepreneurs are discharging into this world. When you look up the word ‘Austin’ in the thesaurus, the words, ‘old-timey facial hair,’ ‘your grandmother’s eyewear,’ ‘college degree in food carting,’ ‘bee [...]

Hipster Valentine’s Day Gift Guide

2 Comments 10 February 2012

This will be the first Valentine’s Day I will have someone to share with in over eight years. Because I used to date douchebags, our courtship was typically as long as a cat’s pregnancy and Valentine’s Day never fell within that time. I’ve never gotten too keyed up about Valentine’s Day, so it’s not like [...]

Home is Wherever I’m With You

9 Comments 01 February 2012

As of today, I officially moved into Geoff’s house. When I tell friends this, they usually respond with, “Wow! Taking the big step! Are you excited or nervous?” Because I feel neither, it confuses me when my friends ask this, but I guess it is a legitimate question. Moving into a boyfriend’s house is a [...]

How To Stop Worrying

22 Comments 26 January 2012

I’ve written a few times on Hipstercrite about how going freelance has improved my career confidence and has been mentally rewarding. I’ve jokingly talked about how going freelance has made it difficult for me to remember to change my underwear or socialize with humans and not feral cats. What I haven’t mentioned is that going [...]

The Indie-Urban Existential Crisis

17 Comments 24 January 2012

I’m reaching an age where it takes a lot for me to stay focused and interested in contemporary independent film and music. I’m reaching an age where unless a film has a point or a song is originally written, displays some sort of individual talent and doesn’t sound like a band I heard back in [...]

This is Life at 28

9 Comments 09 January 2012

I always knew that 28 was going to be a pivotal age for me. When I still worked in Hollywood, 25 would be the age that the ball really started rolling career-wise, and 28 would be the age that I, for the lack of a lesser cheesy phrase, “made the big time”. I wasn’t sure [...]

This is the Post Where I Bitch About Money

33 Comments 06 January 2012

Money. Didn’t come from it, never had it, don’t currently have it. If  money was something I cared about more, then I probably wouldn’t be poor. Though I’ve worked non-stop since I was legally able, I care more about enjoying life than working towards being wealthy. The little taste I got of the 24/7 work [...]

Welcoming the End of the Quarter Life Crisis

8 Comments 03 January 2012

2012 marks the last year of my twenties. Previously, saying that made me collapse into a fit of inconsolable defeat. Once, on the phone with my father about my car being paid off when I’m 30, I fell to the floor during the middle of the conversation. All it took was me saying, “Well, when [...]
