Saw this sticker on an electrical post while Josi was pooping. So vivid against this muted Sofia street.

I looked it up a month after I took that photo. Turns out it’s from a Japanese teen comedy called Swing Girls (2004).

A tale of delinquent and lazy school girls. In their efforts to cut remedial summer math class, they end up poisoning and replacing the school’s brass band.

I decided to give it a watch a few days ago, and I loved it. I haven’t seen something so amusing and bright in a while.

That sticker is a nice change of scenery for this street. Over the years, this exact spot—next to a playground that doubles as a toy dump—has seen a discarded wig and a dildo.

Most recently, on another walk with Josi, I found a row of buns placed on the curb. Seems deliberate.
