Productive morning: severance received and moved to savings, updated LinkedIn to a paid account and confirmed my status, filed for unemployment, and reinstalled the unemployment app on my phone. Now a lunch break.

The progression from The Hurting > Songs From The Big Chair > The Seeds Of Love is pretty astounding growth. Seeds was not at all what I wanted in 1989, but now it’s the one I play the most.

My WiFi went down - good thing I got on the ball this morning and applied for a role I’d be great for. I made an early lunch and popped in the Criterion Blu-ray of Polyester.

I believe it was a mistake to use “friend” for people you follow on social media - and was saying as much years ago. Now people without critical thinking skills and media literacy are in parasocial relationships with celebrities and politicians, and it’s bizarre.

I was just reminded of Tosh.0 and had a major flashback.

I’m doing pretty good post-layoff. Money isn’t an issue at the moment, and I’m ramping up working my connections and being very present on LinkedIn. I’m not spiraling, but when I climb into bed each night, I’m scared. Good thing I’m an expert at disassociating.

I understand there are a lot of neurospicy folks into record collecting, but the ones over at Super Deluxe Edition are a whole different level of entitled + delusional, bitching about every new release while puking up an entire laundry list of what THEY want, like they’re writing to Santa.

I’m reading the book from Simple Minds’ “Once Upon A Time” box set, and Jim Kerr is talking about Michael Been of The Call recording backing vocals, and the very next day Kerr and Been recorded backing vocals for Peter Gabriel’s “So,” which is also one of my desert island discs.

Has Netflix always been so pulpy? Or is it just recommending trashy stuff to me because I gave thumbs up to a couple of true crime docs? It feels like when A&E stopped showing opera and ballet and just churned out garbage.

Still adding to Discogs. Estimated high value of my collection is now 51k. There’s a new most valuable item, which is a first pressing of KISS’ 1974 debut album without the song “Kissin’ Time.” It’s sold for as much as $3,775.00 😳 I got mine used at Amoeba for $10.

There’s a fake Cruel World 2026 poster going around claiming that The Smiths are reuniting. Be skeptical. Their name isn’t the top line, and it would be. There’s also far too many big marquee acts listed. It’s someone’s wish list and nothing more.

Currently the most valuable item in my collection is this: Depeche Mode’s Violator 12” Singles box. It’s *just about* minty-mint, as it’s open, but unplayed (I downloaded hi-res files). No. 00952/3000 U.S. copies, top value over $900.

Was typing out “the most lovable chaos” and my phone autocorrected to “the most livable crisis.” I feel seen.
