And, of course, there are several ways to donate to Nemo’s Dreamscapes. There is even a chat section, where people discuss how effectively relaxing each track is. Some of the loops play live, so you can see how many others are listening to them, a further comfort. They are the sounds of “oldies playing in another room and it’s raining” or “you’re on the Spirited Away train with Chihiro and No-Face”: perfect mixes of muted, unstimulating music and white noise. I sometimes fall asleep to Nemo’s Dreamscapes, a YouTube channel of hours-long loops. They laugh at things I don’t find funny and don’t laugh at things I do find funny. Everyone involved in projecting the future of wealth has a personality disorder. It becomes ever more obscure to me, in fact, the more I know about it. This should help me to understand the economy, but it does not. Money is simply a story that is being told about itself, these articles sort of say. I’ve been reading a lot about how money is really based on storytelling, just like cults and fashion and art. Natasha Stagg has a secret talent that might be profitable, if only she would stop giving it away for free. If old rich Dutch alumni get their pantaloons in a twist over the word "Pornographers," imagine how they would clutch the pearls over a guy getting drunk on stage.These days, you can monetise anything, or so the Internet has us believe. The New Pornographers controversy landed the Student Activities office in hot water, and given Matt Berninger's tendency to drink a bottle of red wine on stage, they thought it was too much of a risk. The worst part is that The National - my favorite band - asked to perform at Calvin because of our reputation for supporting indie music, and we had to turn them down.
She was advertised all around campus as "Neko Case of the New Pornographers," and there was no complaints at all. It's even dumber considering Neko Case performed here four years ago as a headlining act for our Festival of Faith and Music. Believe me, it was super embarrassing to have heavy handed evangelical moralism come out of nowhere and mess with us. Alumni interests have never interfered with on-campus concerts like this, at least not in years. The New Pornographers thing caught everyone on campus off-guard. So while Calvin itself is progressive for a Christian college, the conservative, less open-minded (and Dutch) alumni from previous generations have a disproportionate amount of influence. Calvin's endowment is pretty small, which means it's dependent on annual donations from alumni donors.
I should be moving in this weekend, I am looking forward to it.Įxactly. I mean I can deal with a tiny bit of trouble on occasion but it seems as though my overall, day-to-day experience should be positive, which is what matters. I don't know what's normal or probable.ĮDIT : Thanks for all the info everyone, I hope it's accurate because it sounds nice. My perspective might be distorted, grew up in a rural area with fundamentalist parents and community. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, I don't even have any idea. Dating once I get thoroughly settled into my new living arrangement and life. What should I expect? I mean, I'm looking at the possibility of spending my life here. I want to start living the kind of life where I'm always completely open and honest to everyone about everything, where I never be anyone but myself, and don't feel ashamed to do that. I'm moving into GR this week, the actual city proper, not a surrounding area. In terms of general social attitude and reaction? I know that the west side of this state is pretty conservative, but is Grand Rapids different?
