I might have written it before, but if I have I'll just write it again because it keeps bothering me. I really wish I paid up for a public transportation card this summer. Home is comfortable, but studying at school is so much easier. The entire concept of going somewhere to study at that specific place is really helpful. It helps me focus. Instead I'm here trying to write a 300 word assignment that shouldn't be very difficult at all.

Anyway I have a 40 song download pass on MelOn and I don't know what to download. :/ Typical.

struggles and rushmore

We have this assignment this week where we have to try to imagine what the music industry would be like if copyright didn't exist and my mind is literally in circles and I can't for the life of me settle on anything solid. We also need to speculate on what the music industry will look like in the future, and I'm basically ?_? apart from the obvious aspects like digital distribution and streaming models. I don't know if I'm struggling because I know little of the music industry or because I have a really bad imagination. Probably bits of both. Doesn't help that it's almost midnight. Early morning tomorrow. Studying all weekend.

Anyhow today I finished watching Rushmore. It took me about four days. I started watching it as breakfast entertainment, basically. I've seen it once before, but I paid no attention that time and could barely remember anything, so. I always love Wes Anderson. Max is such a bizarre character, occasionally misguided but (almost) always driven and inspiring. I'm not sure I like the story as much as I like the characters, particularly the principal and the teacher whose names I can't remember at the moment. Glad I watched it again, it was very entertaining.

moving on

i'm sort of done with fandom. at least the part that involves being constantly up to date and watching all of the things, i guess the active parts? and the fandom politics. but i don't know how to move on from it because i'm in no way ready to walk away from twitter. instead i'm considering remaking my account and only following my favourite fansites and accounts. it's not that i'm not interested in bangtan anymore, i just want to spend more time and energy on other things. i felt very balanced with my life for quite a long time after i settled into the fandom, but lately i'm losing that balance. and now it's going to be a bit tricky to find where that new balance is. that's okay.
