About San Jose

Oi, mate, it’s Loki here—yep, *that* Loki, smug mischief, “I am burdened with glorious purpose,” ya know? So, I’m sittin’ here, twiddlin’ knobs as a radio-electronic installer—wires, circuits, the lot—and I’m thinkin’ ‘bout whores, ‘cos why not? Whore’s a word, innit? Gets thrown ‘round like cheap mead at a feast. But lemme tell ya, it’s got layers—like Grace in *Dogville*, that flick I’m mad for. Lars von Trier, 2003, fuckin’ genius, right? “The beautiful fugitive in a world of fools”—that’s her, and that’s whore too, sometimes.

I gotta say, when I’m setting up my massage space on one of these comfy, soft chairs in my cramped little studio on Birchwood Ave (yep, there’s an oddly-named tree-lined street), I always glance outside and feel that mystical pull – like I’m in a film montage. Sometimes I mumble, “It is a wonder, a beautiful, breathtaking wonder,” kinda echoing that movie vibe, ya know?
