I'm glad Adolescence won so much. That was not easy to make, and it was very good. There has been a lot of buzz around The Pitt. I have too many medical issues to be interested in watching more on TV. I was curious about The Studio. I'm just not much of a Seth Rogen fan. The Emmy show itself was pretty lame. Had no idea who the host was, and didn't find him funny at all.

The cost of seeing a dentist is insane now, for both sex workers and customers.

I enjoyed it. I'm glad I saw it. I would watch it again. Some funny lines, but the story is not particularly exciting. After what Henry 8th did with his 6 wives, the fuss over divorce in 1930's seems incredibly silly. Oh those foolish Brits. The gay subtext was enjoyable. Mary's hair was a disaster, but Lady Edith looked quite lovely. Many of the actors are looking old and bloated. Pretty incredible this ensemble has stuck together for so long. Just goes to show how bad business is these days. The review in the New York Time is well written and more humorous than the movie.

It was a blessing because the show was sold out.

Wow. Much like Boop, this show surprised me. I'm very glad I saw it. I could easily see it again. I thought the staging was superb. Very creative and immersive. The use of audience members is fun and quite charming. The design of the theater for this event is near perfect. Very few bad seats in this house. Jonathan Groff blew me away. I don't know how he does this 8 times a week. I suspect he's living a disciplined life, since his name is the only one above the title. He has an understudy, but it seems most people are there to see Jonathan, and he does not disappoint. He really gives them everything he has, including a fun moment in nothing but his underwear. The audience went wild. He pokes fun at his wetness, and apologizes for the shower the audience and his fellow actors are about to receive. He is a major sweater and spitter. One can only imagine what sex must be like with him (cue the swimming pool). I have to say, I'm not a fan of the music. I was never a Bobby Darin fan or a Connie Francis fan. I remember Sandra Dee from Gidget, and I remember liking her, thinking she had a cute and perky look. But none of that matters. The story is fascinating, interesting, and told in a very unique and entertaining way. The ancillary performers are all well cast. The music sells itself by default. The band on stage is terrific, and the arrangements are so much fun. You can't help but want to dance or fall in love. Even though Act 2 is slightly more dull and depressing (the guy does die at age 37), the cast ends the show with quite a wallop. In the end, I am so glad I got to see one of my favorite performers from Glee. I loved Jonathan and Lea Michele in Glee. So glad I got to see them on Broadway being outstanding performers. On the night I saw the show, the audience was old. The seating area is not fun to navigate for older folk, and the staff are always yelling, "Be careful where you step." I wonder how many young people would be interested in this show? Bobby Darin hit his peak in the 1950's. It was nice to discover the audience didn't sound old. These people were loud and excited. I had a fabulous aisle seat, thanks to a generous board member, but there was a 350 pound woman seated next to me. Her left arm fully covered my right arm rest, and her left hip took 30% of my seat away. The seats in this theater are terrible, and because of this women, I was very scared of possible leg cramps, given how I had to sit. Luckily, the aisle seat across from me remained empty, so I switched at intermission.

Oh dear. I can barely deal with the bits and pieces that appear here.

To me, nothing sexier than a sweet, flirtatious smile.

When I see what young people are paying to live in Manhattan these days, my heart breaks. When I moved here, I found a fabulous one-bedroom apartment, rent-stabilized, for under $400 a month. At the time, I thought that was outrageous. The cost of living in a place like Manhattan has gone through the roof. IMO, the greed is insane. But in many cases, greed has nothing to do with it. Good luck finding skilled labor to work on your apartment. The demand is so high, these guys can ask for any price, and still turn down customers. Everything changed after Covid. People tend to buy what they can afford. I would like to own a car in the city, but I can't afford it. Makes little sense to waste time complaining about it. I guess I should consider myself lucky that sex was never all that important to me.

It's fun to be young and aware of your sexual prowess. If I had an iPhone at his age, there's no telling what I might have done. I just wish he offered a smile photo. I worry that someone this young is angry and unhappy, looking for an easy out.

I never saw it either.

Where would gay men be today if we all held this opinion?

I have hired massage guys from the new Craigslist. All were legit and licensed. No sex. I think the fees for posting are much less than anywhere else, if there are any fees at all.

Looks like Las Vegas is really suffering.

I stopped reading the news, so I wouldn't know.

You mean a new twist is wilkomen, no? He seems to enjoy being polarizing, which IMO gets in the way of his talents. If you're not white these days, polarizing is a tough sell.
