Scorsese scores, and I get to see my favorite band!

I've never been a huge fan of sitting through the whole Oscars, or any awards show for that matter. But I wanted to see how one movie that has quickly become one of my top 3 all-time favorites would do. How's Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing, and Best Picture? Pretty decent. (Hint: I speak of The Departed!)

Here's a cool bit of news: I get to go see my FAVORITE band, the Dropkick Murphys, in 9 days. I love them soooo much but I've never gotten to see them before. Somehow, I don't have any quizzes or anything that day, so yay!

The previous two items are related, by the way, since "I'm Shipping up to Boston" by DKM was used heavily in The Departed. The following item, on the other hand, is not related at all, but is much more important.

My dad is having a big, horrifically painful ankle surgery tomorrow. Please pray for a successful operation and a speedy recovery. Thanks!
