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 [...]

Creative Block or Fodder? When Life’s Challenges Affect Your Writing

10 Comments 21 February 2012

Ah, writer’s block. You never know when it’s going to hit. The current writer’s block that reared its ugly head last week after a homeless man tried getting into my house while I was taking a shower, was actually a long time coming. I wish I could pin it entirely on the homeless man, but [...]

When Life Gives You Lemons, Glue Chest Hair to Yourself

4 Comments 20 February 2012

Due to an unfortunate circumstance that has preoccupied my mind these past few days (oddly it involves a deranged homeless man), I have tremendously challenging writer’s block. Last night I wrote about 100 poorly crafted words in six hours. In the meantime, while I regain my focus, please enjoy this photo of a typical Sunday [...]

You Are Not a Good Writer: A Lesson in Being Critiqued

28 Comments 15 February 2012

So, this weekend I got my first, “you’re not a good writer” comment. KA-POW! Straight into the nuts. Sheeeeeeeiiiit that stung like a whoopee cushion exploding against your bare ass after you stuck it in your underwear. I pouted like a little bitch about it for the next two hours. I looked to my boyfriend [...]

The Artistic Importance of Longing

No Comments 11 February 2012

I secretly love reading self-help articles written by people who have no formal training in telling you how to live your life. In my scavenging for these articles on such sites like Huffington Post, The Frisky and any bubbly-logo’d site aimed towards my demographic, I occasionally come across posts condemning the act of longing. “Longing [...]

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 [...]

A Story About Drinking

18 Comments 08 February 2012

I rarely drink anymore. Because of that, this post is spawned from the fact that I spent most of yesterday morning barfing up the Janis Joplin- hemp seed veggie patty, Tillamook cheese and avocado- at Austin’s beloved burger spot, Hopdoddy. I had three drinks of tequila and my body was all like, “WTF is this [...]
