The constant tense changes were very distracting. And he forgot the part where he writes an almost poignant blog post making fun of hipsters while (hopefully) ironically describing how you're not a hipster unless you make fun of hipsters. Not to say I wasn't mildly amused. But this stuff is over, isn't it? I thought it was cool to be earnest again. I thought having read David Foster Wallace meant we can all stop being so jaded and critical of everyone around us and actually try to learn to live in a modern society while having empathy those around us, even in a big, anonymous city, and genuinely enjoy the trappings of modern culture and technology in a way that mindfully acknowledges the amazing privilege of living where and when we are living. In that vein, this was my favorite part: I’ll look at Sutro Tower. I’ll feel lucky to be paying too much money for a very small apartment, because San Francisco is worth it in these tiny little moments. I'm in Portland, but I love SF. It's one of my favorite cities in the world. Can't people just enjoy that?
