Watching
This week, I watched Circus of Books on Netflix, which I highly, highly recommend; it’s about a nice Jewish couple who opened a hardcore gay sex shop in the 70s and ran it for 30 years. Every single minute of it is entertaining. I’ve also been watching Mrs. America and Unorthodox, plus the first episode of We’re Here on HBO. And on Saturday night, I built a blanket fort for my girlfriend, where we watched Moonrise Kingdom (because a twee movie felt appropriate from that vantage point). I highly recommend the combo of a very cozy nook and a movie where the visuals make your brain light up.
Have a good Sunday night! 🌙
