Oscar (Dave B/flickr.com)

I’m still recovering a bit from Sunday’s Oscar ceremony…Not sure if this is done in the rest of the world, but here people like to party during award season, whether you’re a part of it or not.

For the Oscar’s, some good friends, snacks, and drinking games are in order. It makes the 5+ hours go by so much faster (that’s counting the red carpet before the show, which is really the most fun part). On the drinking agenda, things like take a shot whenever someone thanks God, or the music starts playing midway through an acceptance speech, or they pan to Jack Nicholson for no reason. The last hour or so of the show gets a bit blurry but thanks to MSN, coffee, and Touche Eclat, who would be the wiser?

I’m looking forward to similar debauchery this Saturday for Melodifestivalen. A viewing party is being hosted by International Swede at Tonic in New York. Festivities begin at 2PM.
