UNICORN!
I see that the link I put in the Korean Spa entry to Unicorn didn’t work. Forgive me, I wrote that on a plane that had complimentary wifi (thanks, Alaskan Air!), and completely forgot to go back and check the link until just now. Here’s Unicorn. I can’t even click it without missing Bangkok times…

I Saw a Lot of Ladyparts and Now I’m Soft.
So Tara was coming to town and mentioned she’d like to get a massage. I’d recently spoken to two different friends who had just come back from a place called Olympic Spa, and they both said to me, “I go whenever I can.” One of them lives in Hawaii. If you wake up in Maui…

this is how sad it gets.
I looked up the upgrade standby list for my flight today and it said: 8. RIB, P. 9. DEP, J. And for the splittest of seconds I was all, “OH MY GOD, IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING.” What is wrong with me? How many romantic comedies did I have to see to fry my brain this way?…
