sunday march 7

today i told my mom i'd watch the academy awards with her, since she seemed inexplicably excited about watching them. perhaps sensing the excitement, my brother and father stuck around the living room for the viewing party of sorts too. by 10:30, my mom was getting tired and announced that she was going to bed. within 30 seconds of her leaving the living room, the television was turned off and the rest of us had gone our separate ways, suggesting our true level of investment in the oscars.
