It actually makes sense. A hipster can't exist if everyone is a hipster. That's why they deny non-hipsters hipster status.

So the life just got crazier. interviewed today for a teaching job that could bring in about 17.5 hours per week. interviewing for another one on monday that could bring in I-have-no-clue how many hours. also got some interest from an art supply internet site that may be looking for work-from-home chat support. then add private clients and the possible translation to portuguese classes and...
poof! portuguese classes could be disappearing soon. if it all works out, i could be looking at 70+ hours per week. need the cash. willing to do it for a few months.

Good gravey you get around. We are heading out to boulder for the weekend to see what it's like. We are a bit interested in maybe living somewhere a little closer to nice mountains, and are curious if the land of fit hipsters is really the promised land they all tell me it is  Mostly we could live near mountains and still have good jobs (maybe even the same jobs, as mine has an office in Broomfield, CO) just in general looking around to see if there is a place we like more than where we are now
Soooooo, HOW WAS IT ???
The wife and I went out for dinner and a movie Saturday night but I didn't see you around. Of course it would have helped if I knew what you look like, I was keeping my eye out for a fire breather.

Speaking of not sure what to think about things, WTF is going on in the new owner thread on the main page? The last day of Aric posting makes me want to leave and not come back, but I'm sure Marge would have something to say about that.

Eh, Aric's only here until something else rubs him the wrong way. Then he'll once again stomp his feet, cry like a little girl and take all his marbles home.
No offense meant, by association, to any little girls.

Classy? Is that what you call whining like a little bitch and then deleting all of your content when former RC.com management didn't agree with you? Yeah, that's real classy.

Yawn. Got anything else? Please, let it all out. How do you really feel about me personally. Tell me everything there is to know about why you seem to dislike me so much and how it justified this amount of vitriol. Limited time offer.
