Revision update

I revisited the scene I worked on yesterday and fleshed it out further, adding another 171 words for a total of 77699. I should come up with one more word to make it round, but I don't feel like it.

I got a parking ticket on a poorly-marked no parking zone today. Fuck you, Town of Chapel Hill. See if I ever go eat lunch in your fake-progressive town again. Every public lot was full, and there's so little street parking to begin with, so my $10 sushi lunch turned into $60. Assholes.

I went to the soccer.com warehouse sale (60% off EVERYTHING), and I got a Schweinsteiger/7 jersey for $30, including tax. They're usually $70 (or $100, with customization, but this one was tagged at $70, and I'm not arguing.) I also "liked" them on facebook to get a free shipping voucher (good through mid-July), which means I can save money on the Özil jersey I want. I looked, and they didn't have any on the racks, just lots of Bastis.

I would take a picture of the location where you parked and dispute it. I know someone who easily got a ticket dropped because they had supposedly parked in a "painted" loading zone. There was a sign, but the "zone" supposedly covered a good chunk of curb that was painted yellow. Except the yellow paint had been long worn off and the person was a good ways away from the sign. She got the ticket dropped and the city actually came out within just a few weeks to repaint.

Oh wow, that totally sucks about the parking ticket. :(

Hey, cool about the jersey, though!
