Nein. Nada. Nothing. Zilch. Zip.
In other news, last night we watched the Junos, as we do every year because I’m a huge fan of the Junos, but this year we watched mostly to see just how many shades of green I could turn in the split second where MICHAEL BUBLE SANG DIRECTLY TO MICHELLE. The bitch. Our continued friendship is up for debate because Michael Buble is my fantasty, thankyouverymuch. So. Very. Jealous.
The Junos this year were, well, good, almost Grammy-esque, which made them more than a little disappointing. Part of the charm of the Junos for me has always been that they were oh-so-very-bad. Cheesy, and Canadian, and almost painful. In past years, there must have been an open bar because by the end of the night the entertainers would be getting up on stage with a drink in one hand to give their acceptance speech. The speeches would be completely non-sensical yet much fun to watch. It was fabulous. Often they couldn’t even be bothered to put on a pretty dress, or suit.
This year, however, everyone looked stellar, no one seemed to have a drink in their hand, and the performances were well done. I was disappointed to see Fiest walk away with so many awards (I have no reason for this, I simply don’t like her and get annoyed when I like her music) but beyond that, it was impressive. I wish we could have heard a country or folk act instead of an entire show of mainstream but it was still enjoyable to hear the performances.
And since my daughter is bound and determined to spend the rest of her life in my womb, I’ve also managed to sew together 6 cupcakes for Michelle’s charity (although I still hate her I ‘spose I could send the cupcakes). Yesterday we toured a bunch of beaches between Parksville and Qualicum for something to do, then headed to A&W for a nutritious dinner. We’re running out of things to do to keep us entertained while we wait…
Please don’t hate me…just because The Bube loves me hehehe There was a really good country act(first one of the night) where all 5 country acts performed Paul Brandts “Alberta Bound”.
ah! We started watching late so I missed it! Damn!
is your mom still visiting? Do you have someone else after your mom leaves to help out?
yeah, Mom is here for a little bit longer, then my sister-in-law will be here for a few days… then I’m on my own til May when my sister gets here (My other sis-in-law and family will be here beginning of May but they’re actually on vacation not really here to help out).
