This week brings disillusionment, confusionment, and some good ol' amusement.
Part I: Disillusionment
I want to be a journalist. But I also want to be whatever I will love the most. Would I be better as a producer or as journalist? Producer is something I never considered before. Music is something I never thought I would go into, but after having it suggested to me, I suddenly thought maybe it would be a good niche for me. Or signing bands to record labels...I just don't know.
But I want to affect things. Will I affect things by helping people make music? I think music changes the world, but it doesn't stop people in Somalia from being massacred. But could I really do that if I was a journalist? I probably wouldn't even be able to write what I wanted to write half the time.
Which brings us to Part II: Confusionment.
As I was mulling this over, I realized I'm not 100% sure of where I'll end up next year. I don't have housing for UCI for fall 08, which I need, because I won't be able to stay and finish my work here for winter transfer if I don't have it. I might be dropping out early and transferring with a quarter's work missing. And I don't know where I'll be come a half a year from now--I could be in NYC, Boston, Switzerland, or even Montreal...
That's scary.
But it was all washed away by Part III: Amusement.
We went to Yogurtland last night. If you've never heard of this place, god, you're missing out. It's orgasmic. You get to take a cup (one of two sizes, large or extra large) and walk along this giant wall full of flavors of fro yo, and then fill your cup as full as you want. Then you scoop on toppings (fresh fruit, sprinkles, chocolate, mochi balls, candy...etc) and pay by the ounce! They even have fresh water with strawberries, and for those of you who are lactose intolerant (like me) this place claims their fro yo helps with that. I've even heard rumors that it's not dairy based (which, so far, seems to be true). So yes, it's delicious, healthy, and coming to Cupertino!!!

Scratch that, it's already in Cupertino! YAY!

sorry about the deleted post; i wanted to edit it after the fact...
If you're thinking about signing bands to pirat, uh, I mean record labels, you might want to read this speech given to the Digital Hollywood Online conference. Regardless what you think about Courtney Love's lifestyle choices, she's got some really important things to say about record labels.
