This past week was nuts, work-wise. I wrote from 8am to 5pm most days, and then after dinner, evenings were spent reorganizing my office — a job that was kickstarted by me selling all of my albums to fellow Scares That Care board member Brian Smith. Why did I sell him all my albums? Because:
Downsizing is so hard, I’ve been watching minimalism videos for awhile now. It helps and i want to have less clutter. My house is so overrun with physical media. I got rid of around 3,000-4,000 VHS tapes earlier this year. I kept the ones I really wanted to (Horror and Wrestling) however I’ve only watched one movie on VHS all year (Timecop). I have books everywhere as well, I’ve been trying to buy more and more kindle versions. The older I get, the more I enjoy reading on the Kindle. The lighting is perfect and is always a problem when reading a physical book. I’m really considering getting rid of most of my books in place for kindle. Although at the same time I still find myself on eBay buying limited edition hardcovers lol. Selling through eBay helps some, but I find it difficult to post on their often. Also, wanted to say that reading Mary referencing Seinfeld put a huge smile on my face as it’s my favorite sitcom and I watch it everyday. “It’s the best Jerry, the best!” On that note thank you for the newsletter this week, I look forward to reading it every Sunday morning.
I feel yeah. I am right there behind you. I buy only comics books and some hardcover books. I still have VHS tapes and no player as mine took a dump and finding one is hard these day or over priced. Now just seating in the attic. Almost got all my wolverine comic books I missed as a child hood. Oh don’t get me started with StarWars figures. 🤦🏻♂️...Child hood memories and cassette tapes of some good metal. I can’t drive 55....
I've accumulated a metric shit-ton of stuff and I think about downsizing a lot. My dad was a collector, and I've been taking care of his stuff since he passed and it's... a lot. A box of vinyl is very comparable to a box of books, as far as my lower back is considered. Good luck, man.

PS- Soup is definitely a meal.

Thanks for recommending Avenue 5. I got some much needed laughs this week. Binged the hell out of it. Terrific cast!
