I made one thing clear to my boyfriend on Sunday night: the Academy Awards are to me what the Superbowl is to him. I assumed he understood what I was trying to imply (
minimal distractions from him, unless food was involved) but found that I was very, very wrong as he proceeded to chatter away and talk over the acceptance speeches. Apparently, I missed one of his jokes while I was busy swooning over James Franco.
Takeaway: Ignoring him is mean. However, pretending to listen by laughing and contributing an occasional "yeah", "definitely", and "are you serious" may pass as adequate on those "rare" occasions when you are unable to grant him your full undivided attention.
