Socar has a new look
I can’t see either of the nudists tonight, not the computer one or the skinbag one. They’ve both got their blinds open, though, as per usual. I don’t like them having their blinds open. It gives them too much scope for surprise appearances. One could be checking for them: “Nudist A…clear! Nudist B…cle–oh, dear God!” You sort of relax, see, when you think they aren’t there, so if one of them popped up out of nowhere, it would be double-horrible. You’d be looking right in his window, bold as you please (not that cornery-eyed way you do when you think you might actually see something), and–bouf! Full frontal Skinbags!The worst, of course, is when you’re staring at someone, and then you realize they’re staring right back. You can’t look away in embarrassment, because that confirms you were, indeed, having a look. You’ve got to shift your gaze slowly–imperceptibly, sort of thing–by degrees. You’ve got to slide it off like a jellyfish down a marble staircase: sloooooorp! The staree recognizes your coverup for what it is, of course–and you know he knows, and he knows you know he knows, and so on and so forth, but appearances must be kept up. At least this way, if you should happen to run into your starebait at one social function or the other, you can at least pretend you’re only blushing from the wine. Watching you drinking your soup? What nonsense! What possible interest could I have in–oh! I see. You’re the one with the eggshell-coloured walls, aren’t you? I love that shade. I was admiring it. My flat’s got exactly the same one. Oh, look at us–we’re paint buddies! Fancy!

Socar is simply one of my favorite writers and I too often forget to drop by her site.
No doubt she changed the look in May and I simply missed it.
