Told mother how I amused myself researching the dark net - or rather was amused by the people asking how to get on it.
Mother: I'm glad you found this amusing...
Me: Well yeah.
I was also amused by this random tweet on Twitter..
They were discussing why it's not a good idea to buy titantium or steel rings, which seem cool until you can't get them off. And an ER doctor added this tidbit to the discussion.
( kind of a sex joke.. )
( uncomfortable albeit humorous discussions about sex hidden for the prudish )
I don't have issues talking about sex. It's not how I was raised. Mother was fine with it. She doesn't understand people who do. The human body is just that a body, natural, and sex a natural act. Her mother didn't have issues either. And neither cared much about nudity. Prudish - they weren't.
Although they were mindful.
And my innocence regarding it was kind of ripped away at an early age when I stumbled upon guys reading explicit magazines in the woods across the street from where we lived. ( Read more... )
The problem with our society is it represses sex. And is prudish about it. While glorifying violence. This is highly hypocritical. ( Read more... )

Finished watching The Gilded Age on HBO Max. It's okay. Not as good as Downton Abby. Kind of boring in places. And none of the characters truly grabbed me. Part of the problem with it - is that there are too many characters and subplots.
Also, some of the subplots fall into cliche. I found it difficult to follow at times.
The costumes and set design was lovely. But I couldn't get involved in the characters or plot. Curious to see if they go for a second season. They neatly wrapped up season 1.
The Big Chill - re-watched the 1980s film, The Big Chill, on HBO Max today. I couldn't remember it - and got curious. Turns out what I could remember was wrong. Although some things were correct. I remembered a dance sequence in the kitchen with Joy to the World playing, and it really was Tru Love or Gimme Some Loving. The sound track and the cast are the best things about the movie. The dialogue, direction, and story are kind of lacking. It's by Lawrence Kasdan. Filmed in Beaufort, South Carolina. I actually saw the house it was filmed in when I visited Beaufort years ago.
Kevin Kline and William Hurt may be the best thing in it.
Reminds me a little big of A Million Little Things.
My parents hated it. I couldn't remember why - until I watched it again. ( Read more... )
