"He has no genitalia, and he's holding a sword"

So said Dustin Hoffman on receiving his Oscar for Kramer vs Kramer. Another bunch of those statuettes were given away last night and I sat up diddling on the computer (which belongs to my girlfriend) to see who got what, though most of the featured movies I hadn't even seen.
Peer pressure? The need to know first? The deep vicarious desire for the limelight?
Maybe all, maybe none. Maybe it's one of the opportunities we have to sit back and reflect on the fact that good performances are in fact rewarded.......or are they?
I just think it's the "Ulloo-ka-Pattha syndrome" that made KBC (India's version of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?") so popular.

Who'dathunk?

That's right, who would have thunk that I'd have a blog too? I botched up the first invite i got to join a blog, lost my invite to G-mail to the junk mail of a (well-known) miserable mail service and misread a fellow blogger's title in various titillating ways....I guess it only goes to show that eventually "Every blog has his say"...arf, arf!
If you're still interested in what I say, do come back or take a look at my other blog. If not, I guess I'll just run into you through some other blogger (mwahahahaha)!
