The other day (week, actually, but who's counting?) I was sore, infact, so so so sore. The cause of my pain was all the lifting and boxing and moving at my brother's place while he packed to go overseas. So, I went and got a massage at the awesome Chinese Massage place in Burwood Plaza.

I have been there before. They are nice and friendly, and sometimes they rub a bit too hard but it is always so redemptive and relaxing after the slight torture. This time, I got a new girl. She was so friendly and nice, she talked to me a little bit and then let me rest. I only paid for a head, neck, shoulder and back massage, but she massaged my legs and arms, too, 'cause I was so tense. I was pretty much naked, but I was too sore to care. And then, when she massaged my butt, I was a little uncomfortable, but it wasn't too awkward.

Massaging my head, though, that was great. Until she stuck both her fingers into my ears, and rubbed them around. I don't know if you've ever had someone pick your ears for you, but it is awkward. It is personal and it is intense and I did not enjoy it. I tensed up completely, squeaked, and then she pulled them out.

"You okay?"

"Uh huh"

"Okay. I leave your ears".

I don't think I'm going back.
