Thoughts on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 8, episode 1

Season premiere! 

  1. Great season preview
  2. Prime creepy music to start off the Forrest and Sheena storyline
  3. I mean, this relationship would not be my vibe, but Forrest really seems happy
  4. Okay, Forrest, I'm not 100% against your mom and stepdad going to the Philippines with you, but does Sheena know they're coming?
  5. Emma! You're trying on wedding dresses at your friend's appointment?
  6. Emma, you're only 27...there is so much time for marriage
  7. How old is Izzi? (Ah, they're twins)
  8. You're both too young to be getting this much Botox (IMO)
  9. Emma, get thee to therapy (not as a slutshaming thing, as a "I fall in love right away" thing)
  10. Okay, Emma, if you even admit you've had a bad track record with guys, I think it's 100% fair that your sister is suspicious of Ziad
  11. Wow, I really don't get how a dude saying 15 minutes into a first conversation that you're his future wife is not a huge red flag
  12. So like, nothing against Morocco, I'm sure it's great, but why are you so focused on Morocco, Emma?
  13. How does Ziad know you if he doesn't know that you've been engaged before? Like that feels like a huge piece of backstory
  14. Laura, talk to friends, not AI (that reel was wrong)
  15. Laura, I do approve of you reading and writing dark, smutty romance novels
  16. So, Laura's work that she reads isn't groundbreaking, but I think it's marketable
  17. Wait, why is Laura not dating Michal?
  18. Laura, you're more than 20 years older than Birkan
  19. Okay, Forrest's mom (Molly?), you should NOT be picking out a sexy present for his partner
  20. Emma, you and Ziad haven't met yet...I think it's fair that he may not be ready to get engaged
  21. Rick, those mannequin heads creep me out
  22. Rick has cute kids
  23. My god, Rick, Trisha is is like half your age
  24. Rick, how do you not know what city Trisha lives in?
  25. Rick, you didn't know Madagascar was real?
  26. Rick, you got 5 kids? Also, you expect that Trisha wouldn't want kids of her own?
  27. Ah, well, if Trisha ghosted you, Rick, I do see why you're hesitant to agree to kids
  28. Molly, I get being hesitant about the idea of Forrest staying longer in the Philippines, but he is an adult
  29. Emma, you'll also be able to buy stuff in Morocco if you need--you're going to Marrakesh, right?
  30. I'm sorry, Emma, your INTERNATIONAL flight is an hour and you're not even at the airport
  31. Yeah, Emma, you shouldn't bring the dress your ex's mom made for you...
  32. WOW! 20 OTHER GIRLFRIENDS! HOW DID HE KEEP UP WITH THAT?
  33. Sorry, Emma, but you said it took you a long time to get over your ex, but I feel like the math on that isn't mathing (especially since you said there was overlap)
  34. Laura, why do you think Birkan is "the love of your life"? You have not met him
  35. Wait, wait, wait...Michal might come to Türkiye?
  36. Ah so Michal didn't want you, but doesn't want anyone else to have you
  37. I hate watching people cry
  38. Ah, okay Forrest does have a past of getting scammed
  39. Emma, you're wild for moving your sister's mirror while she's driving
  40. Wow so Emma was fired
  41. Emma just gave her sister's number for free checked bags
  42. Wait, Rick, so Trisha didn't 100% ghost (not that 98% ghosting is great, but I thought she'd gone radio silent)
  43. I mean, Trisha probably is lying to at least some extent
  44. No shame in being on a budget, Rick, but like...it's expensive to bring someone to the US...are you aware of this?
  45. Rick, did you hook up with someone who wasn't Trisha?
  46. Ho boy, Ziad, what did you not tell Emma?
  47. Can production not help Emma?
  48. Okay, Ziad, pretty sure in this very episode that I saw you say Emma could kiss you at the airport (ah we get a nice confirmation of this)
  49. Not sure I believe if Ziad is being truthful when he says he meant Emma could give just a cheek kiss
  50. This season Emma gets on a camel
  51. This season we meet Jovon and Annalyn and learn too much about Jovon's poop
  52. This season we meet Lisa and Daniel (who didn't sexually perform well)
  53. This season Aviva and Stig (who is a famous rapper in Belize)
  54. This season Aviva's aunt confronts Stig about other ladies
  55. This season Michal DOES come to Türkiye even though Laura did not tell Birkan
  56. This season Ziad asks Emma about the time period that Emma was dating (and getting engaged to) her ex
  57. This season maybe Sheena has been lying to Forrest
  58. This season it really seems like Daniel is forcing Lisa to withdraw cash from an ATM
  59. This season there are quite a few fights and/or breakups
  60. Looks great!

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 ...
