Fifteen Minutes of Scrawl

So, if you don't know, the 98th annual Academy Awards are tonight! Here are some random predictions.  Sinners  will win a lot An award winner is going to get their speech cut off prematurely because they're making a political point Someone is going to stumble (literally) on the red carpet, on stage, or on their way up to the stage There will be a different embarrassing gaff as well Conan is going to do a fine job of being a host (not spectacular job, mind you, but this is because I don't recall ever seeing a spectacular host of these awards) Someone vital is going to be missing from the "In Memoriam" segement The  KPop Demon Hunters 's song, "Golden," will win its category However, the performance of "I Lied to You" from Sinners  will be the most powerful Someone will have just a spectacularly ugly outfit on the red carpet I will be inspired to watch at least one of the nominees I haven't seen yet It will feel weird to watch because the...

Time for the Alyssa Edwards Roast! Oop folks still want Discord gone I do think Discord could've been in the top for Snatch Game Oop people are sick of Jane winning Darlene...:Nancy Kerrigan was the one who was attacked...not the attacker Lol Nini brought up double elimination I feel like a fragrance ad is a big ask for a mini challenge Lol Discord's girly voice is her Pope voice So now Ru knows Alyssa's name I do find Darlene so charming Did Michelle say "toast jokes"? Oop so Myki put Discord first Juicy, I did get what you meant, but I did not find it super funny I love how much Darlene cracks herself up Oop Nini is being a tad too mean Myki...I am worried for you Aw Jane is so kind Ru's look is SO FUN Alyssa is STUNNING So some of Discord's jokes worked for me, but she definitely read form her cards too much and, as Jane pointed out, some did not land Why did Myki put Juicy after Jane...was it sabotage? Juicy is struggling in her own right, but it's...

The whole season has now aired, but if you haven't seen it--BEWARE OF SPOILERS! I was all in on Vic and Christine from episode 1 and I'm so glad they didn't disappoint It's still unclear to me though how they managed to fenagle not being on the group international trip I'm sorry that Jordan and Amber couldn't make it work, but it does seem like he was not ready for all being a stepdad entailed (to be clear, Amber had some things to work on as well, but this seemed like the most pressing issue) Amber will forever be a queen for roasting Chris right to his face SEVERAL times Chris SUCKED (like even the hosts who are usually more neutral were NOT having his bs) Alex was also bad and was not having the hosts not having him (which is a little wild) Devo ABSOLUTELY misled Brittany (and tried to justify it by saying it's difficult to be let someone down? Like, grow up) Also, SOMEHOW Devo is ALREADY expecting a baby? Thank goodness Jess has found a fellow hot doctor...

Time for some finalities?  Ugh, I do not like Josh I can't believe Josh is still on this franchise Ugh, Kim, why do you like Josh? He sucks (and, uh, Kim, the fact that it pisses Jamal off and you find that a plus is BAD) Okay, Jamal's butt does look good, but I still find it weird that Kim commented on it Sorry, did Josh just say he likes toes? "Googly mooglies" and "junga jungas" are hilarious euphemisms, Jamal I HATE Kim using the phrase "daddy vibes" Sophie, I do get the feeling that now you're about to go to Villa and warn him about Liz Yikes, Liz could be dead in two years? I had assumed that the doctors catching her cancer so early meant she had a great chance of that not being the case Omg the swaying disco ball in the van is adding great comedic effect Okay so I don't believe that Cortney just lucked into Colt's password, but I do believe that Colt was talking to LOADS of women who weren't Cortney EW! COLT HAS BEEN SENDING ...

So while many of us know of big, major, national, and/or religious holidays, there are many obscure ones out there! You can find out about a fair few of these on the  National Day website . However, as far as I know, the ones listed below would be new ones that I think could be fun, meaningful, or just wacky to celebrate. You can read my first "15 new holiday ideas" if you'd like! Let Birds Swear Day to be celebrated on June 10th to commemorate when Andrew Jackson's pet parrot Poll (that he'd taught to swear) was ousted from his funeral on that day in 1845 for swearing up a storm (yes, this may be an apocryphal story, but I don't super mind that) Juliette Gordon Low Day to be celebrated on October 31st to commemorate when the founder of Girl Scouts,  Juliette Gordon Low , was born in 1860 Deep Dish Day to be celebrated on September 9th to commemorate the birth of  Ike Sewell , who likely co-created the first deep dish pizza, in 1903 Satirical Onion Day to be...

Time for some new/renewed connections? Of course you made these plans without telling Daniel, Lisa Lisa...give him up Hey, Lisa, are you going to tell Daniel that you STILL haven't told him everything? Lisa, since you've revealed ON TELEVISION that you lied to Daniel (though you're still holding back information that will matter to Daniel), I don't think it's that crazy that Daniel wants you to tell his uncle directly before anything airs Daniel, it is a trap Oop Lisa just revealed that she doesn't have much more money left "Mount Boobs"? So much for "mature" and "philosophical" Birkan For all of my concerns about Birkan, he does pick out awesome date ideas (Ephesus looks awesome) Birkan, are you surprised that she's concerned about your massive amount of debt? Although, Birkan is right to be concerned about Laura's feelings for Michal not being 100% platonic Wow, I somehow already forgot how revealing Elise's dress was ...

If you didn't already know, I love The Traitors ! Here are some thoughts on season 4. These thoughts do contain SPOILERS for the entire season. Such a fun season (I do generally think it's more fun when the traitors win) While Rob was a great traitor, he is not more epic than Cirie (IMO) I will also note that while Rob was more of a strategist, Lisa and Candiace pulled off some bold (and hilarious) moves that did work (e.g. the conga line) Alan saying "Yes, I am dressed as a coffin" was ICONIC It should be noted that the trio of traitors lasted longer together than any previous initial trio This could also be easily seen by how many wild loops they threw the traitors through I thought the idea of a "Secret Traitor" was brilliant (I just wish Donna had lasted longer in the game) I think they could've tried the idea again later in the season by not revealing whom Rob had recruited (but, to be fair, Eric's reaction to finding out Rob was a traitor was p...
