I have a membership at the IFC Center. The screen all the three short film nominated categories every year. I usually only see the animated shorts. This year, I'll catch all three programs.

@Tsarstepan​ Oh, I miss New York! However, I shouldn't complain when it comes to Oscar shorts because there's a theater here that screens all three categories every year so I always get to see them and I know a lot of people in smaller cities don't. I still miss New York, though, lol. 

That's really cool that you have a membership at the IFC Center. That must be great.

@Peter_pbn​ Wow, I wrote "airs"? If I didn't know that I have a sleep disorder, I'd know I have a sleep disorder, lol. 

Thanks for catching that.

Oh man, five seconds later, I go to fix those and I type "streamed" instead of "screen." Wrong word, wrong tense. My former students would love this. 

Anyone want too take bets on how long it will take me to get it right? (Hint: I can't even spell "to," lol.)
