I'm so happy. What's sucky is that I couldn't watch the announcement per se because I was at work, and even then I couldn't watch the thing online bacause I was in a meeting (my yearly evaluation, no less!). When I get out of that, I try and get online to see what happened, and turns out our connection is down! Despair. Thankfully Maru saved my life by sending me links to my work address, heh.

Also, Johnny Depp is nominated as Best Actor. It doesn't get much better than this, people.

I also went to a business lunch with the boss and one of out Hotel contacts. It was so good. Beef carpaccio and eggplant lasagna. Of course, I had to blow it all off by eating a bi-colored chocolate mousee. The doctor will grill my ass on Saturday, I know. But hey, it was really nice food I didn't have to pay, so what's not to love, eh?

Of course, I had to come back at the office to find out the corporate network seems to ahve been infected with the Mydoom Virus. Stupid users should know better than to open unknown files and fuck the rest of us!! Thankfully the server at Connecticut hasn't let my address send stuff to anyone -- it has blocked every attempt of outgoing spammy virus. Meh.
