As much as I've griped about the Oscars, I've always enjoyed following them. I gripe because I'm a fan. They're my Super Bowl. My family owned a video store when I was growing up. I've earned two whole degrees in film studies from actual academic institutions. I love movies. In the past, I've joined in the criticism of Oscars' lack of diversity (shout out to @ReignOfApril/#OscarsSoWhite), but I've never been disappointed by the lack of Asian American nominees. You can't be disappointed when you were never in the running. That's why today is special.

MYSTERY: discovered a cake —UBE! — delivered to my doorstep. Don’t know who it’s from, or if it’s even intended for me. How long do I wait until I attack this thing? I have some bad news. The DoorDash guy apparently left it on the wrong porch. The cake was intended for my neighbor. Yes, my Filipino neighbor. It has been reclaimed. Thank goodness I hesitated and didn’t eat any of it, you jackals.
