QotD: Best Text Ever

Friday

What's the best text message you've ever gotten?

I don't know if "best" in this situation is good or bad, but it's at least funny. I got a picture text from one of my high school friends of his…ummm….how to I say this…his…ahh….himself in a brat bun. Frightening and funny at the same time.

What are three things you want to learn, and three things you can teach others to do? 
Submitted by bookishbiker.

I want to learn:
1. How to drive stick shift
2. How to play guitar–I'm thinking Jodi, Jaycie and I can all take lessons together with Jodi's guitar
3. How to snowboard

I can teach:
1. How to conduct a psychosocial assessment including administering a variety of scales
2. How to quilt, but only very simply patterns
3. How to play SIMS

The business of Rock n’ Roll

Tuesday
Jun 26,2007

An interesting article in Rolling Stone. I've been thinking and talking a lot about how the music industry is going to have to change their business paradigm to adjust to the increasing ability to access music via the internet. They will not be able to continue to sue their customers while profiting from them. Here are a couple of theories about how the music industry’s business model will change. I think the ad supported is the most likely change in the near future. With the “changing their stripes” a close second. Some of the other theories seem to be already in play, but I'm not sure of the success. Then I wonder how this will play out with the indie music scene–increase access and listenership while lessening the hipness factor?

Who would you call with your one phone call if arrested? (No lawyers!)

Ben or my Dad–I'd cry to both of them and neither would be shocked by my arrest.

I graduated yesterday. I'm not feeling much emotion about it right now. I'm neither sad nor happy. I just feel done. I probably didn't have the greatest grad experience. Sometimes, socially, it was way too much like middle school–cliquey and competitive. I liked my classes and did well in them, but it was what it was and I'm done. But, I'm still looking into taking the GRE in October so I can apply to the doctorate program at the U to start in 2008 or 2009.

I graduated this weekend. I’m still waiting for my thesis to come back from being bound otherwise everything else is done and turned in. I’ve also passed my licensing test, so now I can just hang out all summer.
