Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I had a non-spa massage today, from the massage therapist krav student. Given that the "spa" massages I've been getting recently are at my gym--I'm a little hesitant to pay for someone else's jacuzzi and steam rooms, since I have them right there.

Santa Barbara was where Allyson and I had our racist experience. Not fair to tar the whole town with that brush, but it makes me laugh bitterly still. At some point at dinner I looked up and noticed that all the groups sitting near us were black (3/4) or Hispanic (1/4). There were no folk of colour outside our little room to the side.

I kinda blew it off, but Allyson was quite pissed. I just...for some reason I don't want to believe it was more than coincidence, even though I walked the entire rest of the restaurant to check. White as the eye could see.

Lee, yep. I'll email you the info for the spa? And, as a warning, by feasible, sarameg means if she can brave LA traffic.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Sounds good.

Actually, I've been IMing with Polgara, and I think she's going to pick me up on Wednesday. We may do lunch though, if you want to join us, Sarameg.

Hey, Lee knows LA! She can take care of me. It's just I can't find my ficking atlas and have no idea. I need my maps, damnit!

EDIT: AND UM, OK? Whoops, capslock. I'm agreeable and flexible and all that shit.

OK, I just tried to superglue a cut and...it's a mess. I'm a loon.

sarameg, you'll be between me and the airport, so if you want, I can pick you up either before or after I pick up Lee.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I kinda blew it off, but Allyson was quite pissed. I just...for some reason I don't want to believe it was more than coincidence, even though I walked the entire rest of the restaurant to check. White as the eye could see.

Oy. It wasn't the Argentinian place, was it?
