Unlike the Best Actor race, which shows a clear cosmic frontrunner, Best Actress could turn into a literal celestial catfight, with asteroid Kitty 9563 at 9 Scorpio at station, trine Mars at 10 Pisces, indicating potential feline (Kitty) fisticuffs (Mars) at the 98th Academy Awards, set to commence at 4 PM PDT in Los Angeles on 15 March 2026.  Leading the pack are Emma Stone, Kate Hudson and Jessie Buckley, all of whom have impressive resumes for victory.

Aster-Obit:  Scott Adams

On 13 January 2026, popular cartoonist and “Dilbert” creator Scott Adams passed away from complications of stage IV prostate cancer which had spread to the bone.  Adams drew on years of employment as an office worker for “Dilbert,” known for its satirical humor about a white-collar, micromanaged office. The successful comic led to dozens of books, an animated television series, a video game, and hundreds of themed merchandise items.

House Diary:  Yule 2025

‘Tis the season, and it’s Year Two of my Yuletide décor rotational scheme.  A couple years ago, I realized I now had way too much in the Yule collection to display everything every year.  Rather than delegate some cherished pieces into the outer darkness of nonuse, I devised a three-year plan, where I would pick a theme and then rotate these, repeating every third year.  At least this way, everything gets its moment in the sun, even if it has to wait for it.

I chose traditional red Santas for the inaugural year in 2024 – in 2025 it’s the turn of white and burgundy Santas, backed up by a display of holly and poinsettia-themed china.  It’s been a fun project, getting my creative juices flowing, and I’m enjoying the process.

House Diary:  Halloween 2025

This year’s Halloween display is one for the books, for sure!  I’m afraid I went way over budget, a sort of last hurrah as I turn 65 and am shifted from essentially free healthcare via Medicaid, to rather expensive Medicare.  Before this milestone becomes a headstone, I made a final foray into seasonal tchotchke.

Asteroid Sleuth:  The Case of the Detained Dick

At a “No Kings” rally in Fairhope, Alabama on Saturday, 18 October 2025, a 61-year-old-woman in a huge inflatable penis costume, draped in an American flag, carrying a sign reading “No Dick-Tator,” was arrested by police, after refusing to remove the outfit, which authorities deemed “obscene.”   Jeana Gamble was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after it took three policemen to wrestle her to the ground and apply the cockring.  Errr, handcuffs.  There is no reporting on whether pistols were pulled out and cocked. Bystanders suggested the cops had bitten off more than they could chew.
