Nothing like the feeling of finding the grail of the day at the record shop. Kiss and Nirvana, Rainer is off to a good start. Before you know it.. Ildjarn and Front 242…

Your kiddo's KISS intrigue immediately opens up my memory of unlocking the hidden "Hotter Than Heat," level of Tony Hawk's Underground game from 2003. It was ridiculous when I played it at twelve, but I loved it.

FYI, Amoeba had a fun basket of unused postcards, which includes one I purchased in my office from "Big Franky's Drive In" featuring an unappealing plate of food and "WE SPECIALIZE IN TAKE OUT ORDERS OR TRAY SERVICE TO YOUR CAR" at the bottom. A ridiculous impulse buy that I credited to my attempt at reintroducing mailing ephemera of sorts to friends, but now sits at my desk and reminds me of my favorite surrealist filmmaker Jan Švankmajer's "Food."

Re: weekend--I've been asked to help paint a wall mural for a local artist's forthcoming exhibition which has been a nice mental distraction. I'm able to automate and fall into an almost synchronized state till completion. Loved it.

Cheers to the mundane. As for me, it helps me "reset" in-between fits of stress and mental illness.
