Awesome. "No No No No. This is an inquiry-line....I ask the questions." HA!

That's sweet. Mom insisted I was not allowed to graduate high school. She was joking about her own sadness, nevertheless the empty nest really tore her apart for years. On the other hand, Nora Ephron once wrote that the empty nest is underrated

That's a good point. I understand why people like/love the documentary. To me it always seemed unnecessarily cruel, and I'm not a particularly nice person. However, I absolutely went to the musical with an open mind because so many ppl, whose opinions and tastes I respect, loved it. And yet, I hated it. Back to your point HTW, years ago I asked a friend to watch a move about Die Weisse Rose, and I thought it was awesome. But he knew nothing about Sophie Scholl and so he hated it. Some works of art do assume a level of familiarity with the subject. I love that. I love being lost and having too look everything up later, or, better yet, looking it up beforehand. My books are filled with words and lines underlined to look up once I'm finished with the book; it's part of the fun. But, not for some people.

I see the snowflakes still flurry out east.

He's beautiful, he's Tadzio incarnate, objectively. Movie's brilliant, objectively. Thanks for the heads up about the documentary.

New York. Ebersol. Hated it. And yes, I am gay.

I love LetterKenny because it's the Anti-Schitt's Creek. I love LetterKenny because the dialogue is faster than Gilmore Girls and Veep turned to 11.** I love LetterKenny because the music is carefully and brilliantly curated. I love LetterKenny because Wayne reminds me of every hot man I grew up around. And I love LetterKenny because even though all the stars are Zillenials, the characters display the mean indifference of Generation Z: "Fuck I could watch kids fall off bikes all day, I don't give a shit about your kid." ** Until today I hadn't thought of using the Hulu subtitles and I'm glad I had to follow the GunFire cadence on my own.

Grey Gardens. Wretched waste of several hundred bucks for 2 tickets.

15+ years ago I remember being at the WeHo Gay Starbucks and Zak and Matthew were there. Zak was just stunning in person.

Oh My god I totally remember. My friend and I were fucking at Bare Ass Creek in the San Gabriels. The next day on the Cruising for Sex website some guy posted, "Yesterday I saw two old guys fucking next to the stream" Two old guys? I wasn't even 35!

As a kid I'd always try to find a copy of Judy Blume's "adult" book, Forever. It wasn't particularly erotic, but it was sexual and I enjoyed seeing the author of SuperFudge write about Penis. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VH7OEMK/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1

We think of her as a comic actress, and she was brilliant at that, but her performance in The Last Picture show is crushing.

Well yeah, of course. Everyone loves that movie

Here's the review. Keep in mind Variety rarely writes negative reviews. Haven't watched it yet, it seems pretty typical, which is not a bad thing. Look forward to watching it, thank you for bringing it to us Orville; I am fond of movies featuring male prostitutes :-) https://variety.com/2019/film/reviews/rialto-review-1203321325/

He's now a cop in my small home town. Hated that motherfucker. Of course now as an adult I've learned from gossip that he and his siblings were HORRIBLY abused. I've talked to him briefly at a couple funerals. Seems to be adjusted and doing well and from what I hear he is a very fair police officer.

Best line in the awful movie was along the lines of, "Don't try to understand it."

I don't know when that was, but I'm guessing they have not.

I've mentioned it before, when I started escorting I had clients who were my, then living, Grandfather's age, which I thought was pretty cool.

The Leonardo Di Caprio movie about Rimbaud is bad but fun to watch. After Titanic was released it was impossible to find in videoStores. I don't know if that's because customers stole it or if the Studio hired people to steal them. Anyway, it's worth watching.

A client gave me two sets of Frette Sheets as a gift. Over the next 18 years I loved and lavished those sheets. They are fragile, they constantly ripped in the washing machine, and I'd bring them to the tailor for expensive repairs. Eventually, both sets became unusable and now all I have are a few square patches to rub against my cheek, a reminder of a time I was given, and struggled to maintain, true Luxury.

I just Googled SG45, another perfect thing that I'll never afford to own.

After you've slept on Frette, everything else feels like wool. This is terrible, but I imagine the Taliban, saying to each other the first morning around the buffet table before the start of the negotiations with the US et al, in one of those Quatar 6-star hotels, "I don't know what Frette is, but I'm never sleeping without it again."

True. Most importably the computer simulation is fucking amazing and costs a fortune (only the south park guys have that kinda money for that kinda fun). I'm surprised it didn't knock the boots of Unicorn....others, just based on the technical merits of how near perfect it is of a Deep Fake. Oh well, I tried.
