Lewis Boogie
I’m watching the live telecast of the 81st Academy Awards and Jerry Lewis, a comedian, has just received the Jean G. Hersholt award. Less than two minutes after his acceptance speech, I decided to Google his name and unsurprisingly, there was Wikipedia with an entry on his life.
Scrolling all the way down, under the Honors and Awards category, was this…
Lewis is a 2009 inductee of the New Jersey Hall of Fame. He just got some award on the Oscars for lifetime achievement or something [24]
Yay!
A minute later, I decided to refresh the page and this came up instead…
Lewis is a 2009 inductee of the New Jersey Hall of Fame. He just got some award on the Oscars for lifetime achievement or something [24]
Received the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the 81st annual Academy Awards.
I find it really amusing that information can be edited within mere seconds of a live telecast. No complaints though. That’s what you get for free! Okay, back to the Oscars! Later!
Margarita of Emotions.
At long last, my three-year affair has reached its’ end. Nonetheless, the emotions running through my veins are simply beyond words. I suppose it’s fairly normal to be floating in ecstasy, especially after a ridiculously long time in the clinical area but I don’t see myself in such a slaphappy state. Don’t get me wrong – I am, in fact, contented with the bygones. On the other hand, am I expected to be concerned about the foreseeable future? I agree that it is a little premature to worry about the next couple of months (or even years) now, but the anxiety has somewhat kicked in as well. Still, I am obliged to be grateful to the people that has made my three years much easier. Hopefully, these feelings, with time, will be subdued – at least to an extent that it won’t ruin my break. Lol.
On a side note, my biological clock has gone haywire! About two weeks back, I was at a friend’s place after dinner and the few of us ended up watching Hour Six of Jack Bauer’s 24. We completed 17 episodes before calling it a day. Upon reaching home, I took a short nap before waking up in time for dinner. Two days later, I was on night duty and my body clock went bonkers again! After dinner yesterday, we had another all-nighter – spending hours in front of an LCD monitor shooting zombies before watching Valkyrie with droopy eyelids and an overworked mind. Haha.
Alright. I’ll update again in a few days when I’m back home. Cheerio!

It was really hard for me not to get all teary-eyed when the emotions took over Federer after he lost to Nadal in yesterdays’ Australian Open final. However, I still believe that the seemingly evasive 14th Grand Slam is within Monsieur Federer’s reach! Anyway, here’s a video of the trophy presentation after the final (It’s the best one that I could find – most were removed due to copyright issues.)
Besides that, here are a couple of things to look forward to…
- Just over two weeks before PRCP officially ends! Finally!
- A long-deserved break!
Goodnight world! (:
