Your Day

I started getting into Nina Hagen a few years ago and I regret that I never got to tell Sansa how much they resembled her, though I'm sure they already heard it several times. But seriously I'm not crazy right?

I'm using they/them pronouns btw since I remember someone saying they were nonbinary and I'm not sure what they prefered.

How many properties you own? If you're a one-per-center I lost all respect for you.

That's not true: I never had respect for you.

Good to see YOU though!! How’ve you been?

No but knowing she's really into Jesus nowadays I was afraid you'd ask that question.

A little update on my efforts:

My job search hit a dead end when every remote position I applied to had hundreds of national applicants. I can't compete with that.

So I challenged my social anxiety and started looking at local businesses where I might thrive.

I delivered a cover letter and resume to the founder of the region's largest antiquarian bookstore. He had hosted my first music lecture back in 2013 and he remembered me. He doesn't need anyone right now but I'll keep trying.

Tonight I reached out to the owner of 4 local record stores asking if he needs any help.

Even if these don't yield a direct job result, they are important efforts I'm making to overcome my social anxiety. So just sending out the message is a win. Who knows, maybe he'll need me in the weeks ahead. (Could you imagine ISB working in an indie record shop?)

I'll keep trying, but I'm running out of steam. This is really challenging.

Sorry to hear about your job troubles, Innerspaceboy. Working at a record store seems like a perfect fit for you, I hope things turn around very soon.

Today I finalized an agreement to sublet my apartment so I can move in with my partner. I start a new job on Monday, and it feels like this month has been a whirlwind of positive changes in my life all happening at once.

So far it feels like my 30s have been the light at the end of the tunnel that was my 20s.

Oh I'm just fine thanks. Good to see you're still around here and I hope you are well also? I thought of you recently, when I went to see Richard Hawley. If you hadn't had recommended to me Coles Corner I wouldn't have been there.

I am well - yep still bumming around this dusty old corner of the internet lol. Speaking of old and dusty it's actually my 15th anniversary of joining mb this week... that's 45% of my total lifespan I've wasted here

It'd be appropriate then to shout out my old friend Hugo (UnchainedMelody) for introducing me to Hawley initially however many years ago.

Anyway, hope you hang around a bit.

Ah I used to chat to Hugo also and I don't recall him ever mentioning Hawley. It was a fantastic gig anyway. We should trade some recommendations. If you have anything to throw my way, please feel free to do so!
