15 thoughts I had during the 2026 Oscars

So, if you don't know, the 98th annual Academy Awards were this past Sunday. Here are some random thoughts I had while watching. 

  1. Maybe I should've watched more of the red carpet
  2. Autumn Durald Arkapaw is a very deserving winner for Best Cinematography in Sinners, but like...it was really at the 98th Academy Awards that a woman won that category for the first time?
  3. I think adding an award for Best Casting is a great call
  4. Pretty sure they missed Jonathan Joss and James Van Der Beek in the "In Memoriam" section (and by Googling just now, I was reminded that they also forgot Eric Dane, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, and even more)
  5. Disappointed that One Battle After Another got more wins than Sinners
  6. Notably, despite that fact, I am still not tempted to see One Battle After Another (or Frankenstein which did receive 3 awards)
  7. I do want to see KPop Demon Hunters and Sentimental Value, however
  8. Great to see Misty Copeland!
  9. I appreciate these political moments, but I do think there could be even more
  10. My guess that F1 would win for sound because of "vroom vroom" is hilariously correct
  11. Huh, I did not know that Maya Rudolph was partners with Paul Thomas Anderson
  12. Lots of folks wearing feathers tonight
  13. Folks seemed unprepared for Sean Penn to win and not be there, despite the fact that he seemed to plan to not show up and was indeed nominated (that said, duded sucks, so like...I just wish he didn't win at all)
  14. As much as I enjoy the comedians who are a part of this Bridesmaids sketch...the sketch itself is not well thought out (that said, it was not the only scripted part that has made me cringe)
  15. I know that folks are going to have stuff like food containers under their seats cause it's a super long ceremony and people need to eat, but I feel like a room full of film professionals could figure out how to shoot the room without me seeing all of the used takeout containers crammed under chairs

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
