[spoiler alert] on Pushing Daisies and happiness

I rarely quote a line from a movie, a book, a song, a musical, or anything, unless it is really remarkably worthy. That being said, here's a line from the finale of Pushing Daisies.

BTW, I LOVE Ned. And all his insecurities. And all his castmates. I just need to learn how to speak the way they do.

And by the way #2, the finale of Pushing Daisies is one of the most astonishingly beautiful televised episodes of a series ever. EVER. EV-VER!

So here's the line. Hope I didn't spoil anyone. If so, stop reading and move on with your lives.

NED: Chuck, I try very hard to be a good boyfriend. I believe that, every day, even in the smallest ways, I try to put your happiness before my own.

CHUCK: Yeah, I agree with that whole-heartedly.

NED: I've been lying to you. Not that it's any kind of excuse, but I think it's because I've been lying to myself, too. If Lily and Vivian knew you were alive, the only person in danger would be me. And the danger itself is a lie: It's irrational fear in danger's clothing, and it's whispering in my ear, saying, "Chuck loves her mother and aunt so much there's no way she would want to spend her life with you if could still be with them." And so, I put my happiness first and told everyone that no one could know you were alive again. Especially Lily and Vivian Charles.

CHUCK: You didn't know what you were doing.

NED: I do now. I'm finally putting your happiness before my own.

Have a nice weekend. I need to bawl out my happiness first.

not for the insomniacs

I didn't sleep well last night. In a good way. I saw it coming, when it came it sucked, but I deserved it, I think. But it was because of something good.

See, back then in my senior year of high school, I always put my alarm to go off at midnight. Reason: I want to watch Newsradio. At that time, between all the other comedy series shown at midnight in Indonesia (including later, The Ellen Show, Murphy Brown, but not Friends. Friends was shown Sunday afternoon.), I connected the best with Newsradio.

The only problem was, after waking up for thirty minutes, laughing, most of the times out loud, I could not go back to sleep immediately. Adrenaline rush? Endorphin drunk? Happiness high? I think a combination between those three. Sometimes I'd lay in front of the TV for 2 hours not going back to sleep (but of course you have to know that at that time, I went to bed like 8 at night, and fell asleep no later than 9).

Learning from that, I always carefully schedule my watching comedy series schedule, so that it won't interrupt my sleeping pattern.

I succeeded to do all that until last night, when I have The Office season 5 DVDs in hand and deliberately decided that I could not wait any longer to know the story between Jim and Pam before I will finally see the grand wedding (Oh my God! Wikipedia editors already changed Pam's last name to Halpert!). So I prepared my dinner, sat on the couch, and started the first double episode. And then the next one. And the next one. And one. And before I knew it, I was drawn directly into putting the next next and next discs and started a marathon.

The marathon lasted until a wee bit after midnight. Fun times.

iTunes knows me so well

Hell to the no!

But at least it is not "What I Did for Love."

it was once said that Roger Federer ...

... kept winning because he was really nice, making people not want to beat him.

So, how about the also really nice Rafael Nadal this year, then?

However, congratz to these amazing players. It's always entertaining to see them both.
