Dave Rahardja<p>So I took my car to a public park at the Golden Hour today to try taking some photos with my long lens. The park was predictably empty, being a Sunday afternoon, and the parking lot was quite sparse.</p><p>So I parked my car where I could get a good background and started walking to a spot where I can aim my lens, when this dude in a white minivan came and parked his van RIGHT NEXT TO MY CAR. He parked so close that he had trouble getting out. The parking lot was empty. WHY?</p><p>So I walked back to the car (and noticed that his car tire was over the line), squeezed myself in, and parked elsewhere. The guy returned a few minutes later, got in his van, drove off, and…</p><p>…parked RIGHT NEXT TO ANOTHER CAR whose driver was trying to get out. He parked his car so close that that car’s driver had to squeeze out, and gave the van driver a “wtf” look.</p><p>I swear some people park their cars right next to others’ by habit; he was oblivious. Frustrating.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/cars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cars</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/kvetch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kvetch</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/complaining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>complaining</span></a></p>

November Grau<p><span>Reading "Years Best Horror Stories Volume XIV" (edited by Karl Edward Wagner) from 1986 and although it's a white sausage-fest by modern standards (Tanith Lee is the only woman in it!) much of the fiction has aged well. The stories are very diverse and I found myself wondering what's happened to authors like John Alfred Taylor and Paul M. Sammon. <br><br>But above all, there's a wonderful 50-page story at the end called "Too Far Beyond Gradina" by a sci-fi poet called Steve Sneyd. It's about a bored housewife called Mariella, on holiday with her family at an Adriatic resort, who seizes the opportunity to escape for just one day by following a pair of weird Germans into the hinterland where a great castle looms. It's written in deep third-person and you feel immersed in Mariella's mind in a way similar to the recent TV series "Physical" with its protagonist's internal monologue. Sneyd was obviously listening to the women in his life, and the prose is remarkable, syntactically odd and sometimes hard to understand in the first third of the story, but then it gains clarity as Mariella continues her ascent, while remaining fantastical, a spell which is only deepened by the wealth of natural detail, plants and rocks and rain and so on. I've never read anything quite like it, though it draws on a long tradition of "holiday horror" and things like "The Magus" by John Fowles and the stories of Vernon Lee. No doubt Sneyd being a poet helped, though funnily enough the prologue poem isn't great.<br><br>Anyway I've been trying to find out if he wrote other novellas or stories but his non-poetry stuff is very obscure. At such times I miss Twitter as you could ask a question about something like this and actually hope to get an answer. I suppose I'll make a hashtag here and see if anyone responds - but honestly I'm getting tired of planting hashtags that never grow into anything. It's just another form of monoculture I guess. Though I hope that will change over time, because there definitely are people here who have a decent amount of culture, there just needs to be many more of such people. And of course going back to Twitter is impossible now. <br><br></span><a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/SteveSneyd" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SteveSneyd</a><span> </span><a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/KarlEdwardWagner" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KarlEdwardWagner</a><span> </span><a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/Complaining" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Complaining</a><span> </span><a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/PaulMSammon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PaulMSammon</a><span> </span><a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/JohnAlfredTaylor" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JohnAlfredTaylor</a><span> </span><a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/MichaelReeves" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MichaelReeves</a></p>

Socar Myles<p>I looked up the Yelp reviews for this brothel I once worked at. Dudes were all up in there whinging about the prices.</p><p>The prices...which haven't changed since 1997.</p><p>That's when I worked there. The prices haven't changed. </p><p>What's WRONG with these guys? They think there's a time portal in that brothel, back to 1997? Whoever's working there now, they're paying more rent. They're spending more on food, more on everything. Don't they deserve at least 1990s money?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/inflation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>inflation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/complaining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>complaining</span></a></p>
Davastewart<p>Okay, so when I started working this morning I thought it was fine. But now I'm annoyed and want to go do fun things LOL. I was invited out on a boat for a day on the river (that's always a good time!) and on a hike to the creek (aka my favorite spot on earth) and instead, I'm in the stinky house working. Also, I need to vacuum and do laundry and load the dishwasher. Being a grown up can really suck sometimes. <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/whining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>whining</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/complaining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>complaining</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/sorry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sorry</span></a></p>
