February 27th, 2011
As the penultimate day of the month, today was a relatively smooth one, with not too much work, and simultaneously not too much play. The day started off with me playing a few flash games in my room and just collectively resting for a bit. I went to eat Canyon Vista’s breakfast for the first time in ages (BOBCAT) before seeing Brittney and Leah for a bit at Earl’s. Later, I went to Geisel to do some reading and studying for a bit. After I finished, I was hungry yet again, and after some creative planning, me, Alex, Julia, Rosario, and Lauren all went to In&Out to eat dinner. I snapped a picture in the process while simultaneously making myself look like a tourist. We got the food to go as we went to Alex’s place to watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It was fairly humorous, but I guess I didn’t like as much as I thought I would. Shrug! We all went back home, and I spent the rest of the night just relaxing. Yay for me?
| “The King’s Speech” entered the biggest night in Hollywood as the clear front-runner to win top honors and did not stumble at the 83rd Academy Awards, nabbing four wins out of 12 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actor for Colin Firth, and Best Director for Tom Hooper. “Inception” ended up roping in four wins, as well, one better than “The Social Network,” which lost out in all the major categories after beginning awards season as a potential dominant Oscar presence yet losing momentum over the past month. The evening, in fact, unfolded without a single upset in the major categories, from Melissa Leo’s (“The Fighter”) early Supporting Actress win to the Best Picture triumph for “King’s Speech.” I’m glad Social Network didn’t win as many awards, because it really wasn’t that great of a movie as people claim. King’s Speech, sure. True Grit deserved some credit too though. |  |

On February 27th, 1922, On this day, the Nineteenth Amendment To The Constitution was passed on this day. The right of women to vote (as well as the right of women to engage in many other activities) was declared constitutional by all of the members of the U.S. Supreme Court. It took seventy years of fighting and petitioning to make this women’s suffrage legislation a reality. Women and men both were advocating equal rights for women as far back as in the early 19th Century. YAY FOR WOMAN. But less time for them to make me sandwiches. :(. Bahha JK. |
