shameless promotion!

So, once upon a time I was doing the subscriptions work for the campus music magazine I'm involved in. And we needed off-campus subscribers. I know we're all poor college (or pre-college) students, but you would have my undying love forever if you bought a subscription. I'll even write you a badass poem. Oh, and if you don't want to buy a subscription, if you send the promo blurb to people you think might be interested, it would be greatly appreciated.


Volume is Yale’s only music magazine. Published three times a year and put together by a staff of knowledgeable and enthusiastic writers, Volume has reviews, interviews and in-depth features. By subscribing to Volume, you get updated on news and artists that other music magazines miss. Sometimes humorous and always informative, the magazine puts current music in our cultural context.

The feeling resulting from not subscribing to Volume is best expressed by Longfellow:
O lost days of delight, that are wasted in doubting and waiting!
O lost hours and days in which we might have been happy!

Don’t live with regret. Live with Volume.

Features in the first issue include:
The friendship of Charles Manson and The Beach Boys
Girl Talk and the concept of illegal art
The National Air Guitar Championships
Reviews ranging from Joanna Newsom to Jay-Z

So anyway, on to my life: reader's digest version. Life is good, but Thanksgiving break was too short. I might be going to Puerto Rico this summer to study monkeys. My Japanese teacher decided that I would sit through 5 hours of oral presentations and then give one of my own during reading week, for which I cry. And I ate a brownie for breakfast.
