    Got interviewed by a newspaper...

    So I got interviewed by a local newspaper about being a minimalist and dealing with the Xmas season.

    If they decide to actually run a story on minimalism I am sure they will make me look like a total weirdo. haha

    What do you mean MAKE ...you look like a total weirdo?

    In all seriousness, that's an article I'd like to read but it will probably have your real name in it. I hope you are ready to come out of the minimalist closet.

    I'm sure that word will fall under the same anachronistic etymology as "dialing" a phone number is today. I'm assuming today's "clippings" are individual articles/blog posts you might find anywhere. but someday journalism professors will be explaining, "The word 'clipping' comes from the old days, when people would literally 'clip' articles out of newspapers with scissors." And the students will go, "Wow, really?? (Pause) Professor, what's a 'newspaper'?"

    Good for you and depending upon how they write it, good for minimalism as a whole.

    The journalist is apparently a sardonic columnist. haha

    He also interviewed a friend of mine who started the minimalist group here. She said the interview with the journalist went well, though they both shared a well-meaning laugh about how minimalist I am apparently.

    The piece should appear next Tuesday. So we'll see how it turns out. haha
