Finished my first book of the year, Carson McCullers’ The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter. Really loved it, especially since reading February House and knowing of how she wrote it while sharing a house with Benjamin Britten, W.H. Auden and Gypsy Rose Lee, among others.

I shall now be on my way to the theater.

We watched both THE HIGHWAYMEN and THE IRISHMAN on Netflix today.

Both were very good films, but also too long. Particularly THE IRISHMAN.

I was already reading two books from last year. I just finished Carl Sagan's Contact, and am now currently reading Nico Tortorella's autobiography, Space Between: Explorations of Love, Sex, and Fluidity.

Younger star and LGBTQIA+ advocate Nico Tortorella investigates love, sex, gender, addiction, family, fame, and fluidity through their personal story and the lens of their nonbinary identity.

It's very interesting and Nico is very open about their (yes, "their") life. Nico's gender is fluid and uses the "they/them" pronouns.

I borrowed The Heart is a Lonely Hunter to re-read. First I need to finish The Guardians, Grisham's latest book.

George did you receive an email from me?

Does anybody here have tattoos?

vixmom · « **Reply #100 on:** January 04, 2020, 10:47:11 PM »

I have a tattoo related question

vixmom · « **Reply #101 on:** January 04, 2020, 10:47:39 PM »

This is why I am up at 1:47 in the morning

vixmom · « **Reply #102 on:** January 04, 2020, 10:47:48 PM »

I need a new brain

JohnG just passed 52000, which should be a nice sign.

Art least she didn't share the house with Gypsy Rose Lee"s mom Rose Hovick. Rose probably would have pushed someone out a window.

But hopefully out a ground floor window.

No tattoos, Vixmom. But there’s no reason I’m still awake.

John G. · « **Reply #110 on:** January 04, 2020, 11:01:31 PM »

Well, no reason I can think of.

Gratuitous post No. 111!

It’s one post closer to page 5.

I hadn’t noticed, thank you.

I’m listening to more of Say Nothing. Getting within a couple of hours from the end and excitement level is still high.

John G. · « **Reply #115 on:** January 04, 2020, 11:05:26 PM »

Otherwise, it’s probably too hot to sleep.

John G. · « **Reply #116 on:** January 04, 2020, 11:06:18 PM »

Mom, who has no padding anymore, needs it a little warmer in the house than I like.

John G. · « **Reply #117 on:** January 04, 2020, 11:06:56 PM »

I guess I need to figure out where the vent in this room is.

John G. · « **Reply #118 on:** January 04, 2020, 11:07:48 PM »

Two more posts.
