People really do seem to spend a lot of time thinking about hipsters. A lot of the search terms that lead people to my blog have to do with hipsters. My favorite so far: a Google search for [I'm all hipstered out]. I guess we’re experiencing a backlash against the hipster backlash.

The past fortunately doesn't snowball indefinitely. You have to choose: which parts to let turn black and grimy and eventually melt, and which to eat. Selective amnesia, DC.

It makes sense that the anxiety of influence keeps snowballing, since the past itself just continues to accumulate. The only solution may be mass amnesia. I'm trying to do my part, forgetting more and more of what I've read with every passing day. And into the hall of mirrors we go—wheeeeee!

I don't know about you, but I won't even get out of bed for less than a billion. I guess I'll have to try to rescind my resignation. Maybe I can make up a far-fetched story about how the whole giving notice thing was actually an April Fool's joke. nnyhav: "The problem now is that no ironic distance is great enough for hipsterdom." I don't know if that's a problem, or if so, for whom, but it sums up the point of my post (well, one of the points) pretty nicely. jabel: That's a lot of trouble to go to for a Christmas card. I recommend photoshop as an alternative. I no longer even leave the house at all -- I just find photos of beautiful destinations online and photoshop myself into them, then I look at the resulting images and enjoy all the fond memories. It's much cheaper than actually going anywhere. When I start running out of money, I just photoshop myself into a picture of a guy testifying in front of congress, then I photoshop myself into an image of a guy cashing a bailout check. It's much easier than getting an actual job, and you can't beat the commute. Chris: Only millions? I don’t know about you, but I won’t even get out of bed for less than a billion.
