Too many famous faces for one evening
One should always be prepared, in case you happen to cross paths with a celebrity. Facial recognition is one skill that can be learned, simply by reading as many trashy magazines as possible (the rich and famous often wear disguises, or so I’ve been told). Another training exercise is taking the time to watch award shows, because there you can see the rare among the rare. Tonight, however, we had too much to concentrate.
Somebody scheduled the Junos and the Jutras in the same time block. It doesn’t matter that two different language groups were targetted; putting two awards shows on the same evening is a waste of natural resources. I want to watch Karine Vanasse. I want to hear all the best in CanCon, even though radio assures percentages already. In an ideal world, I could watch Karine AND listen, but our home is not yet ready for the heady world of PIP (picture-in-picture). Later this week, perhaps.
Worse, while blipping back and forth, I happened across a really cool documentary on high-end robberies in Vegas. What to do? So much to watch. I did the obvious; I lay down beside the dog and ignored the rich and famous for a while. After all, if I’m meant to cross a celebrity and know it, there’ll be other clues.
We now have a copy of the Beau Dommage box set. Not exactly a box, since the packaging resembles vinyl from a generation ago, but the media set includes audio and video. I purchased the last one in the store: this is one title that is going to be a best-seller here in Quebec.
In conclusion, here’s the four year view of things from my driveway, as of this date.
Soon we can hide away the shovels.
