Luxuria

I use the blog as a pretext to do new things and so I went to Luxuria the other day and had my nails done. 

Before: meh nails that could audition for The Crucible. Look at them, all modest and virtuous and about to tell on a witch:

After: space nails for the atomic age

I do like the way my hand is looming menacingly in that photograph. It's like the start of a low budget horror movie: 'THE HAND: Will You Escape Its Grasp?'

And I liked having my nails done, especially the hand massage. It turns out that something that millions of people do because they find it pleasant is indeed pleasant.  

This isn't always true. See, for example, bowling.
