Have you met my friend Murphy?

Had a great time on Friday night... met up with the lovely buddleia at First Out and spent a few hours talking and laughing... there may have been some drinking involved. Oh, and spintrian was supposed to come too but he's had his Venusian Death Flu, so...

I was a little creeped out at one point when I looked up and realised I was trapped in a corner with three hundred women in a tiny bar built for thirty and I would have to clamber over lesbians to get to the bar. For some reason when you get a heap of lesbians (I'm sure that's not the right collective noun, but hey...) in a bar, the room always goes terrifyingly electric with testosterone. More than with straight men, but then again how the hell would I know? I can't remember the last time I was in a bar with mostly stright men... the idea makes me queasy. Oh, lesbians are ok once they scope you're not a straight man with lesbian fetish hoping for a sandwich. Apparently they only bite if you ask really nicely, so it was fine... not actually scared, just a little out of my element-y. But buddleia is as wonderful as ever, she cracked me up- hello!- and we had a cool time.

Saturday was chilling out at home time, and today has mostly been packing. Trepidation... Tomorrow I get to do a little travel... although with Bahrain this involves travelling through space, and time, and culture shifts. Like Sliders, parallel universes. And of course I change too, get all stretched and plasticky, and become a distinctly different Mehran. Tandoori-flavoured Mehran, maybe. It's a seasonal special. Yeesh, I just hope I get to make this trip on my time-scale. I'm due back Monday next week. Time me? Something always goes wrong when I go home. The last two times it was death and funeral, I'm doing a family wedding this time so I really hope that covers the formal occasion angle.

And tempting fate, he said... It's only for a week! What could possibly happen in a week?

I would've thought you'd be in you're element.

I'm sure you're a lesbian trapped in a straight man's body.

I'm so sorry about all the lesbians! Kind of a bad call on my part, but I had already been tapped for Friday night by The Ex. It was lovely to meet up with you. I was plastered, so I hope I didn't talk too much sense. Again when you get back (plasticky or not) and with spintrian and this time we'll go somewhere ELSE.
Oh, and the collective noun for lesbians is AN INCEST.

Tell me you didn't really just say that. Have you no sense man?

I'm a bit embarrassed now. I really don't want to make a big deal out of it.
