Jojo was fantastic. Johansson would have won an Oscar for this in a weaker year, but she was up against some powerhouses. There was a slight pushback against the film by the truly dumb with the inability to understand satire. I do wish it would have gotten more awards this season. It deserved them.

I am reminded of the wisdom of Pete in The Muppets Take Manhattan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEx3Cm53798

Nah. I'm still an asshole. I'm just an asshole who was raised by two very awesome parents But thank you for the compliment... (Mom would be pissed if I didn't thank you or send a handwritten note)

Thinly-veiled racism is fine when it's being said by a gay man and wrapped in an image compliment. Didn't you get that memo? It was on my desk yesterday.

This is about what I'd expect from BBC4. It's the same tale, told over and over again. At least Sweet Charity dressed it up with songs. Somehow, these guys (and gals) are all attracted to the things that they cannot handle.

This is an apples and oranges comparison. The easiest answer... No.

Dear god... That's almost as painful as attempting to get through all of Proust. You sir are a strong-willed man.

I completely realize that, but as I mentioned recently, the sex been getting me further away from actual solid writing. I plan on a better balance in future posts: Travelogue, commentary, sex, pics. It's tough to do all of that in a concise way that doesn't drag. People aren't used to reading long-form writing anymore.

You make a convincing point

Realize that unless there are severe pre-existing conditions, this is not an issue for most people. https://www.thebodypro.com/article/truvada-as-prep-does-not-cause-kidney-damage-study If you're really worried, you can now do Descovy for PrEP. The formula has no known issues with kidneys or bone loss. https://www.positivelyaware.com/drug-guides/descovy

A lot of it isn't real money, it's just credit. The real money part comes when it's time to pay that bill.... And then the fun begins.

While Seoul- for the time being- is pretty safe, I wouldn't risk going at this point and not being able to get back to the States.

Gracias. ... But did you like the blog?

I literally just laughed out loud in the gym. People are now staring.

With Broadway prices what they are ($250+), it's not the 22 year olds they're really aiming at. Then again, maybe. I hope you're right. I hate seeing anything close.

Cranston's full breakdown near the end of the show was riveting. I saw him do it three times and every time it was equally as real, raw and startling.

The locals call it the world's largest piece of kindling. To me, it's like an asbestos museum. I'm kinda shocked it didn't burn down years ago. It says everything about this bar that their website can't even spell out the word 'ASS'

Not only is The Valley a nearly non-existent market for guys, the gay scene there is DOA. The one gay bar, PBDs, is a shithole with really, really bad drag and slow bartenders.

How about something that looks like a bowling trophy but instead of a figure holding a ball on top, it's just a guy giving you the finger.

Not to hijack the thread, but yes, I agree. Rosewood is quickly going from a well-kept secret to having a rather nice portfolio of hotels. They're building like crazy over the next five years. London, DC, San Miguel and Abu Dhabi are my favorites.

A mini-post that's mighty sexy... 15MM

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but The Mansion hasn't been The Mansion since Rosewood was sold to the Chinese in 2011. And now we're seeing things like this: https://www.travelzoo.com/local-deals/Dallas/Restaurant/331823/The-Mansion-Restaurant-Rosewood-Turtle-Creek/?searchGuid=74678981-fac9-41de-9c97-41b30e4d3208&dlocId=32282 No bueno.

You be you. If someone makes you feel like that's not enough, they can ceremoniously go fuck themselves The one thing you never want to get wrapped up in is becoming the '$30k millionaire.' That's the quickest way to debt and getting yourself into a whole heap of financial trouble. I see it on a regular basis in Dallas, where people try very, very hard to seem important. Eventually, their rented Range Rovers are repossessed, their leased apartments evicted and their short run in the social circles of Dallas over. Rule of thumb: Don't be Dallas

I love when your prose inspires other posters to be bitter
