That's what I was thinking, especially Jamie Bell. I've always liked him.

Finished Epi 4. Here's an interesting review. https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/half-man-jamie-bell-hbo-max-tv-review-2026

If you didn't know Cilla Black, then I'd say ... What's it all about.... Burt Bacharach signed my copy of his memoir Anyone Who Had a Heart. Cilla Black is mentioned several times.

I saw The Christophers in a theater tonight. Directed by Steven Soderbergh. Michaela Coel is perfect, IMO, playing the young, thin, artsy chick in London. She did everything with what the script provided. I look forward to her in other roles. Ian McKellen was....well, Ian McKellen. 👍 The plot seemed bumpy in a couple of spots but this is still my kind of movie.

I hadn't watched this show for a long time. I remember two of my favorites, back when I watched, were 3rd place finishers, Elliott Yamin and Melinda Dolittle. I tuned in last night. IMO, Jordan M. had superior vocal range and quality. Was surprised he didn't win.

Today the Internet recommended I watch Armistead Maupin's YouTube channel. I was not aware of his channel. I may join, so I can watch the "Members only" videos. I watched 3 videos. All of them quite interesting. Whether or not young folk care to hear about this history, IMO, it's important he has shared it.

I saw him today. But I booked yesterday.

So far, news reports point to the Andes strain of the virus, which can spread person to person. https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/06/health/andes-strain-hantavirus-explained

Would a judge question why the boss already knew he is a bottom, that he was already "out"? Since there is nothing wrong with being gay or bi, has the estranged husband painted more of a negative picture of himself, and perhaps his ex, than the bottom? IMO, if the bottom feels shame, then just work through it.

Anyone have experience with DanielBodyWorks? Reviews on his profile sound good. Pics look good. Cute! https://rentmasseur.com/DanielBodyWorks

This third book sounds like it might be slightly less depressing. 🙂

I also read the book in high school. I like Jacob Elordi, but Emerald Fennell is not my jam. I watched Wuthering Heights on HBO.

Douglas Stuart was interviewed on PBS Newshour about his life and new novel, John of John. There are a number of interviews and reviews found on the Internet. I skimmed a few, without suffering too many spoilers. I enjoyed his first two novels, Shuggie Bain and Young Mungo. John of John sounds very appealing to me.

His Rentmasseur profile currently shows San Francisco.

Even with our group health insurance plan at a leading research, design and manufacturing company, my coworker had to cash in a 401k as health care costs for her husbands debilitating illness ballooned. It shocked me how quickly medical expenses can paint us into a corner, even with employer coverage. A colleague from another company, ironically a medical device company, had to file for bankruptcy due to medical expenses wiping them out. I recently needed a bone marrow biopsy. That cost a crap load of money. The bills were huge. Without coverage, that would have wiped out a lot of reserves. I count on never having to drop coverage but realize that is becoming a reality. Such is life in the States.
