Academy Awards at my sister's place.
I believe in intense competition and am not above cheating if that's what it takes when I'm with people I respect. Which is usually what it takes, though invariably I get caught. So when I found myself falling behind my sis-in-law Rachel in our predictions competition, I realized I might be forced to start cheating, which made me sad. I didn't want to be forced into that choice, but if she didn't want me to do so, she shouldn't have started winning.
Also, she was semi-gracious and I was not, so she had everybody rooting for her. That was difficult. Really hard.
Fortunately, I came through in the end, battling to a stalemate, which was disappointing, due to the fact that I had been boasting and behaving arrogantly most of the evening. Mostly because I felt invincible in my stunningly-hip choice of attire.
Although I am a firm Coen brothers fan, gotta say I really wouldn't have had issue with Michael Clayton beating out No Country for Old Men for Best Pic.
Our daughter did not enjoy the show much. But she had a delightful time trying to steal her cousin's toys.
