Jetlag caught on video

Well, here it is. My jet-lag caught by an irreverent colleague on video, while I was having a snooze during a theory talk:

I am sorry if I did not cut it in a lighter format, but I thought it is quite funny as is. If you have no time to download it, I describe it below.

During Antonio Masiero's (a brilliant theorist, also from Padova University BTW) talk, in the morning of yesterday I was totally done for. I had had too much wine the evening before, and had managed to sleep less than 5 hours. I wanted to keep listening, but my body just could not make it... In the video, you see me from a side, lying on a chair, arms crossed, with my head oscillating as my neck muscles continue to relax-stiffen-relax as a response of a continuous struggle to keep awake - a lost one. Then a colleague comes by (Simone Donati, from Pisa University) to wake me up... I think you can even hear the word "jet lag" in my answer.
