A Year In Pictures Following The Break-Up

The 78th annual Academy Awards.

I was invited to a couple different Oscar parties, but ultimately decided to stay in and watch the awards with the girl. She suggested we keep a running tally of who can pick more winners. And she suggested that we just lazily select our picks as the night went on. It's funny that this was exactly the way N would always want to watch the Oscars as well. The girl, though, also suggested that we give The Academy a point whenever neither of use chose correctly, which was a nice addition.

The girl said that 78 is her lucky number, because of a retreat she'd been on in high school, but I won anyway.

Meanwhile, Young went to the Oscar party of his friend Popio. His Oscar parties apparently always involve bringing a food dish inspired by the nominees (Lord of the Onion Rings, etc).

Young brought Fruit and Nut Trail Mix for 'Brokeback Mountain' (I suggested he bring Brokeback Mountain Oysters).

Popio made Fruit Compote for 'Capote.'

Young's friend Kenner wanted to bring Crunch and Munch with an added letter "i" for 'Munich.' Unfortunately he couldn't find Crunch and Munch anywhere, so he had to settle for bringing Poppy Cock with "Munich" written over it.
