15 Dec 2006 I Have No Idea Who These People Are…

I have no idea who these guys are...

I pass by MuchMusic (Canada’s equivalent of MTV) on my way home from work, so sometimes I stop by out of curiosity. I guess I’m too old for MuchMusic’s demographics if I have to ask, “Who are they???” But since I don’t watch TV — or own one — I suppose the whole cult of celebrity is lost on me, anyways.

I wouldn’t mind meeting Duran Duran, though, I spent too many hours as a teenager cutting out their photos from British magazines and taping them up in my school locker to forget what they looked like… I nearly changed my itinerary in Ireland a few years ago to watch them give an acoustic performance in Dublin, but I’d rented a car and had to fly to Brussels out of Shannon. By the time I get around to seeing them, it’ll be their Mid-Life Crisis Tour! (Except that I think they must be all past that now. The Geriatric Tour?)

It was a little gusty this afternoon, so out of all the shots I took after work, these were the least blurry. I’d need a tripod for this situation, but I’m not keen to lug a tripod to work and back. So I made do by setting the camera atop a rubbish bin.

Meanwhile, enjoy a little Christmas flashity flash of Santa and Company (thanks Helma!), or make yourself into an elf (thanks Siobhan!), like I did:

Gelf?

There’s also reindeer arm wrestling, and the concept of Yes I’m Working made me laugh.
