March Forward

Apparently the Oscars are tonight, so there are a ton of movies in theaters this weekend, but I don't think I'll bother. I don't recognize a lot of these titles, and some descriptions like Emilia Perez are frankly offputting. As for the awards, I don't really care about anything other than The Wild Robot. I've heard good things about The Substance, but I don't like horror films in general. Good luck to Demi, though.

On Tuesday Trump is going to do the State of the Union address. There are protests scheduled for Tuesday, along with ongoing protests at Tesla and more rolling boycotts against Walmart, Amazon, etc. I hope the Democrats will have a strong message rebuking Trump, especially for his awful meeting with Zelensky on Friday. Also I think the government funding will end on March 14th, so we could actually have a government shutdown on the Ides of March. Given how Elon Musk is slashing government jobs and is freezing funds that were already earmarked and approved, I don't see why Democrats would trust any deal negotiations this year.

I'm sad to hear that Joann's will close their stores. I'll miss them. I'm still hoarse from my sore throat and wishing I had some Vietnamese chao (also known as congee rice porridge) like my mom used to make. The closest thing I got is a chicken and rice soup from the local Asian buffet.
