When I finally decided on a major as an undergrad and I told people what it was – ethnomusicology – I always heard the same two questions. One, “what is it?” and two, “what do you plan to do with it?” I was eventually able to give a succinct answer to the first question, but [...]

A while back I promised a series of three updates, because there were three things I wanted to mention here, but I became highly distracted when talking about my spring quarter UW class. I was also having trouble deciding exactly what I wanted to say about the other two things, but with over a month’s [...]

Then there’s a fourth type of movie: The Fascinating Film. Fascinating films are the ones that you watch over and over again, usually when you accidentally pass by them on cable, only because you can’t stop. I have a few of these.

I’ve had insomnia the past few nights so I wound up watching, through Netflix Watch Instantly, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. The movie itself wasn’t much…except for one scene involving “the Beatles.” Jack Black plays Paul McCartney, and in the worst English accent I’ve ever heard in my life, tells Paul Rudd’s John Lennon, “I’m sick of you being so dark when I’m so impish and whimsical.
