If there is some Guessin', we can do some Competin'

Many of you know that I always enjoy some competition - Fantasy Football, March Madness, Amazing Race and Awards shows. Last night we continued our tradition of getting together and making Oscar night fun and competitive. Karyn and I hosted a shin-dig which included M&M Oscar Bingo and an Academy Award Ballot. It was also a chance for us to show off our new HDTV, or what I like to call my first child.

I am pretty sure that any form is competition is fun. Of course, not every time I participate I do well but it definitely helps pass the time! Especially during those boring lifetime achievement awards or the fact that they feel it necessary to perform each Oscar nominated song. Ugh!

Now I need to go and see No Country for Old Men. I think my ballot turned south because my heart was with There Will Be Blood - which still nabbed the Best Actor award. And I still need to watch more noiminated Short Films - because that is how you randomly win the Oscar pools.

And now we are on the brink of the best competition of the year - prepare for the 2008 March Madness pool - bigger and better than ever!
