Not Protesting

3 weeks ago when that "25 Things" list was going viral on Facebook I complied and dredged up 25 pieces of mostly useless trivia about myself. Thing number 12 was "If Sean Penn doesn't win the Best Actor Oscar for Milk I won't watch the Academy Awards next year." I'm really glad I don't have to carry out that boycott. When they announced Best Actor I screamed "Yes! Yes!" at a volume usually only reserved for Notre Dame games. In fact, I was pretty pleased with the outcomes of almost all of the awards, and especially glad that Benjamin Button didn't win anything important.
