Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So should I call him Yasiin on the website, or go with the name that has the most familiarity behind it?

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
So my SIL sent my sister & me each a $200 gift certificate for a famous high-end local spa (the Claremont, for the Bay Area-istas). And after examining the price list, I have discovered that $200 will get me a long massage, and... that's about it. The day packages, with two treatments and a meal, start at $330 and go up. A 50-minute massage is $150 there.
Bzuh? it was really generous of her, but I wish she'd gone for one of the less prestigious spas, we'd get more for our money...
ETA: And yes, definitely a "my diamond shoes are too tight" problem, I am aware.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
FWIW, Consuela, the one time I got to luxuriate at the Clairmont Spa, the whole experience was more than just the massage. You aren't rushed in and out, you have full use of the sauna, and I don't remember what all else, but it felt like I got more than just an expensive massage. (Note, this was over 10 years ago...so...who knows what it is like now)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think I've heard that the food at the Claremont is really good, if some of the g.c. can be used towards a fancy lunch.

'suela, the welsh cakes are sort of like scones, but griddled instead of baked. The ones I have are maple pecan and are delicious.
I'm so tired today, I can't even focus.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So should I call him Yasiin on the website, or go with the name that has the most familiarity behind it?If you asked him, he'd say Yasiin, I say Mos Def or both.
Interview was rescheduled for Thursday.
Bah! But extra good luck then!
