This strange war, this underworld

The parking ticket has been dismissed. The pictures taken by the overzealous parking control officer upheld my contention that I had been incorrectly ticketed while parked on the appropriate side of the street for that morning's street sweeping per the sign I had in fact parked directly in front of. The person who handled the ticket appeal was wearing a mask, too, which made two of us in the building.

Despite having heard both the Replacements and Alex Chilton, I am not sure I'd heard the Replacements' "Alex Chilton" (1987) before it came around this afternoon on WERS. I got Deep Sea Diver's "Billboard Heart" (2024) from WHRB and Gigi Perez's "Sailor Song" (2024) from [personal profile] selkie, who will incidentally be in town this weekend for the first time since the last glaciation.

My father really liked the Yiddish insult mug I impulse-bought him from Porter Square Books. You want to keep the box; it has all the translations. He regrets only that it doesn't include putz.

It is amazing how much the anger doesn't help with the exhaustion. [personal profile] kindkit has a list of strategies.

Huzzah for both the ticket being dismissed and Selkie being in town. Give her a hug from me.
