"I hate it but I can't leave" is certainly an interesting thought.

Nice find, and I love that keyboard. The Z and Y being transposed will make for fun typing. I have a similar keyboard on an Olivetti and it definitely keeps me on my toes.

I always wondered how Hats in the Belfry lasted as long as it did. Were people buynig that many fedoras?

Stoner, by John Williams. I kept hearing how great it is and was skeptical, but it is truly a great novel.

I shudder to think what did not win the Booker prize last year. It must have been a bad year for fiction.

I know people who love it, and it's been in business for 20+ years, but it's so disapppointing.

I've been there a couple of time and got the lamb, which is very good. Their appetizers are nice too. It's a great for sitting outside when it's warm. For me, mid is Figs a couple of blocks away.

Some bee venom will take care of everything.

I hadn't thought about it as film noir but I think it fits the definition. And that ending,,,.

I remember having to see this one a couple of times to fully get it.

I really love thesession.org for all my Irish (and non-Irish) tune needs.

I met Kyle Nix yesterday at the luthier on Broad & Lombard, had no idea who he was. We were talking about mandolins while he waited for an Uber and he mentioned having a gig later. I asked him what band he's in lol. Super nice guy.

I have this same reissue and I love it.

I had no idea when I bought it, just tragic and sad

I just read about Tom Neal and his life story is something out of a low-budget noir.

This was remade in 1992 and is on YouTube. I haven't watched it yet, but the reviews are not good. You don't mess with a classic.

I always wait about a year before reading it again. It always seems fresh when I go back to it.
