My EDC has been minimized since the pandemic.
My go bag containing my kit sits unused in the corner of my room (by “go bag,” I mean go-to-work bag).
My handy Victorinox Classic SD is the only pocket knife that has day-to-day utility. It’s perfect for opening mail and maybe filing the odd nail. I recently picked up a WESN microblade, which also functions as a fidget you, now goes everywhere I go.
Other than the WESN and SD, my phone and watch are the only things I constantly carry.
Earlier today, I ripped Toxic Narcotic’s “The Festering” to MP3 and have had it on repeat for the last hour. Toxic Narcotic avoided genres, jokingly referring to themselves as crustcore, but clearly, this song is an homage to Black Sabbath.

I just finished reading J. J. Anselmi‘s Doomed to Fail: The Incredibly Loud History of Doom, Sludge, and Post-metal. Anselmi reacquainted me with favorites like Saint Vitus and Sleep and introduced me to bands like Eyehategod and Neurosis.
Dead media.

I didn’t know that when I began reading J. J. Anselmi’s Doomed to Fail that I’d end up purchasing Sleep’s Dopesmoker album on eBay, but here I am, anticipating the arrival of the album later this week. I can’t believe I, ahem, slept on this album.
This is my first year living in San Diego that I didn’t go downtown to take photos of everyone in their costumes for Comicon. I admit that being around groups of people that large while still a pandemic had something to do with my reluctance. Maybe next year.
