I’m ashamed to say it took this long, but I finally subscribed to KCRW, even though I won’t be here for an entire year. I felt like I was put on the spot to choose a ‘premium’ - hoodie, messenger bag, cd 4-pack - but I decided to trust Nic Harcourt and get the eclectic 4 pack he put together. In addition, I get a reissue of Nick Drake’s Pink Moon. Pretty tight. Please help support this awesome station. It’s one of the things I’ll miss most when I move. At least they broadcast on the internet too…
In contrast to the quasi-negativity of the previous post, I would just like to say that after slacking off seriously for the first 5 weeks of this quarter, I am finally enjoying philosophy in full force once again. Frege always brings the fun it seems.
Intra-contrast! This part is a bit more reflective. Should I even bother with law school? If I follow my ideals, I’ll be in a job making 30 grand a year at most, stuck in debt forever. I could be making that at a job that doesn’t require a grad degree. I really want to do it, I just don’t know if I can handle it financially… Otherwise, I’d do editing, but the job market is so intensely competitive and I don’t feel like going to journalism school. In general, I don’t think I’m aggressive enough to be in media. I’m not the cutthroat kind. I don’t want to be seem like I’m so damn capricious, because I’m really not — I just have a lot of realistic concerns in addition to the ideal of following what I’m passionate about.
I wrote this yesterday in class, and now I’m pretty sure of my path after realizing I’d be limiting my potential if I didn’t go ahead with my ideals.
Something I left out of my wishlist: Although I still wouldn’t mind a Seagull S6 Slim (though I think my newly purchased Taylor Big Baby should do the job), I also really want a Hello Kitty Squier Strat. The pink one. Yes.
I just bought an LXM Mini Martin this past weekend, and I must say, if a mini travel guitar from Martin sounds and plays like this, I can’t begin to imagine how amazing their full size models are. There is no hype here. Still, seeing as how I’m anything but rich, I’ll keep hoping for that Seagull S6 Slim or Seagull Entourage sometime in the future.
^wishlist :X
I’m also very behind on my reading and I have to catch up. I have stupid midterms coming up.
