And I would like to thank.....

Another class weekend weather wise meant some time spent outdoors. Which is a pretty big deal when snow is always threatening around the corner. Anyway, the Academy Awards last night were a pleasant surprise. Chris Rock was fairly entertaining as a host and the running time of 3hrs kept boredom to a fair minimum. No surprises either in the awards category although Marty has to wonder what he needs to do to win an Oscar. To be fair his best work is far behind him. The glory of Taxi Driver, Mean Streets, Raging Bull, and Goodfellas put's recent lemons like Gangs of New York or The Aviator to shame. He will probably get a Lifetime achievement award in the near future anyway. For me the Oscars have lost their appeal ever since they started giving crap like Forest Gump awards over quality films like Pulp Fiction.

No real suprises on the soccer front either this weekend. Chelsea were really expected to win but seemed to make heavy weather of it. It looks like they will end the season with at least one trophy although the League championship isn't a done deal by any means. Although Madchester did make heavy work of part timers Portsmouth but thanks to boy wonder Rooney, we were able to pull out 3 points.
Time to run and feed the ducks!
