Time for an update. I know I haven't done this since Valentine's Day but this is my first day off since then. Truth be told, I had yesterday off but my head was a bit foggy from Saturday night to clearly write an update. I hope everyone had a great Oscar night. Oscar parties are the same as Super Bowl parties except instead of beer and melted cheese on all the food you get wine and room temperature cheese, ( the stuff that looks like it's melting is called Brie). There are Oscar pools just like football pools. I scored a 9 correct in my pool. Instead of everyone putting up money for the pool, all you have to do is write down what you want to win(under $10) the person with the lowest score buys for the person with the highest score. I choose Mega Million Lotto tix if I was to win. I was hoping that if I won that the person that lost would be someone that doesn't like me and then I would win the Mega Millions with the tickets that they bought. That would be my luck, buy tickets for someone that I hated and they win.

So let's recap the Oscars a bit. The Departed scored big, very big. Best Picture and Best Director. Martin Scorsese winning his first award after being a bridesmaid so many times. Scorsese knows how to do mob films I guess it was the luck of the Irish mob that got him the win. The Departed is a great film, I went out and bought the DVD the day it came out. You have to love a movie that features music by the Rolling Stones, the Dropkick Murphy's, and Van Morrison. The movie is a remake of a Japanese film about the mob in Hong Kong. Who knew that Hong Kong had an Irish mop? It only goes to show you that the Irish are everywhere.

Best Supporting Actor went to Alan Arkin for Little Miss Sunshine. I saw this film also, it's a very funny film and you should add it to your Netflix list. Best Supporting Actress Jennifer Hudson proved that the people that vote for American Idol don't know jack.

Ok, enough about the Oscars. How about a little baseball. Big news out of Tampa, Derick Jeter and Alex Rodriquez are not dating. Other then the Pittsburgh Pirates we are family team does it matter if everyone one the team gets along? That's the beauty of men's sports. Guys don't care who they play with as long as they get the job done. Women on the other hand don't like to play with someone they don't like. For example the 2004 Red Sox. After the World Series they were on Queer Eye. Even the stars of the show thought the Sox were gay. Cowboy Up, yeah you see what I mean. There are so many Brokeback Mountain, Village People jokes in that team motto to mention here, but if you want to you can e-mail them to Murphy, I'm sure he would love to hear from you.
