    Man there's a place here in Cape Town which proudly proclaims it is both a Sushi restaurant AND a massage parlour. I'm almost certain it's "that" kind too but somehow the combination of cheap raw fish being served by the waitresses who are also the massage therapists kills a whole range of appetites in me.

    I'm sure most of them wash their hands.

    On subtlety and commerce..there is this place in my hometown called the BackBoys and it's a sauna. The front door is barred and there is a sign that reads "Enter by the backdoor".

    oh god this is probably thread-apropos now I think about it

    When I lived in Germany, I became fairly good friends with my best friend/occasional fuck-buddy's boss. Apart from being a professor of South American literature, this guy was a keen amateur musician, whose big claim to fame was he once got a song in the top-100 of one of the regional broadcasters back in the 90s.

    Eventually I got invited to join his 'band', which was actually just a bunch of his friends/colleagues/ex-students who hung out for slightly amateurish jam sessions every so often. So I toddled along, and towards the end of the afternoon he started to play some of his older songs, including the one that shot him to very mild stardom many years ago. It was a heartfelt love ballad, which he sang with complete sincerity, called "Straight through the back door, and into your heart."
    When I stopped laughing I said "Willy, I love your song but I'm not sure it's anatomically possible." That's when I discovered that nobody had every brought up the connotations before. Now a good chunk of the department were native English speakers so I cornered my friend on it, he said "Of course it's hilarious, but he's our boss! We didn't want to say anything! " -pause - "... mind you watching him sing that in a crowded pub in Belfast one night was fairly amazing."

    Oh and apparently I "ruined the song for him".

    Was speaking to a lady last weekend and she mentioned that she has family dotted about across different countries.

    After a brief pause in the conversation, I asked a follow up question: "So... how far do you spread?"

    Kill me now.

    Pft. Handys are what you settle for when you aren't getting anything else. It's what bible thumping teens do to convince themselves it isn't sex. The only time the HJ is good is when it is the build up to something else.

    My newly-divorced manager has been trying to get back on the proverbial horse recently in terms of flirting and whatnot so when a young woman at the Taco Bell drive through complimented him on his zebra print seat covers he attempted to counter with "thank you, you have a pretty smile".

    Tonight was one of those nights ..

    I live near the grocery store, so a lot of the time I don't bother with making sure I'm presentable just to run in and grab a few things. Just throw on some pants and go.
    Today was baggy dinosaur christmas t-shirt, no bra, haven't bothered to brush my hair or look at my face today ... did take a shower but didn't use eye makeup remover so could have zombie eyes.
    Then it happens .. I see a co-worker. Then I'm mowing down strangers to escape to a different aisle to hide! And oh god it's the baby diaper aisle, what if they recognized me, what conclusions are they drawing from this!

    This morning on my drive into work there was a sweaty muscley jogger guy bouncing up and down on the corner sans-shirt while he waited for the light to change I guess

    Felt pretty awkward swerving to stay in my lane after I got distracted watching him adjust his shorts

    Sexy joggers please stay home, you are a danger to society

    Man, some people don't have much self-awareness. I noticed in Tokyo especially, guys too but far more girls would wait right until they were at the top of the escalator to adjust their underwear.

    Most of them wearing skirts. It was awkward for me at least.

    I have a phrase that I made up and I forgot I made it up and said it in front of people who were all confused until I realized that it wasn't actually a thing people said.

    "Close enough for Christmas."

    Meaning, "A little too early, but acceptable."

    I think my thinking behind it was, Christmas music starts playing before Thanksgiving now, which is a little too early, but kind of accepted by people.

    It was 4:00pm in the afternoon and I was hanging out with my friends, and I poured myself a bourbon. One of them looked at me.

    "You're going to start drinking now?"

    I shrugged. "Eh. Close enough for Christmas."

    They've started saying it, which is neat.
