tvordljEarworm of the day, thanks elevator Muzak... Easy by Lionel Ritchie.I used to really love that song back in the day. It was a great song to slow dance to, for one thing. And ... well.. it just made me feel good. This was the first time i'd heard even a snippet of it in a long time. I can say it doesn't have the same effect on my anymore though if i heard the whole thing, i'd probably still like it for old times' sake. Music is funny like that.
Tomorrow night is the Downeast Streeters event, hosting a Corrie star in Halifax. Apparently she's arrived in the city so the show will go ahead as planned. You never know about these things! Between problems with the flights and weather issues, anything can happen but we've been lucky to date with only one near miss due to flight problems a few years ago. I'm going to be working at the event tomorrow night as always and i've taken a room at the hotel and taking Wednesday off as well. It's so much easier than getting home exhausted late at night and hauling out of bed in the morning. I'll still get up earlyish but i can then go home and relax, sort through my photos and do a write up for my corrie website and blogs. The actor that's featured at this event is the one that played Molly Dobbs, Vicky Binns. She's not on the show in the UK now but she is still here on Canadian screens because we're 10 months behind the UK storyline. Damn you CBC.
Well, it's not a big deal for me anymore since i download the UK episodes anyway but it's still irrirtating that CBC let us fall so far behind for no real good reason. They used to be only 6 weeks behind but as the show aired more often weekly in the UK it took CBC awhile to go the same route and then when CBC shows the Olympics, they don't show Corrie for the two weeks. They used to catch up with extra episodes but they stopped that years ago. When there's extra episodes in the UK or hour long episodes, CBC doesn't put the extra on that week so you fall further behind. They caught up a couple of months a few years ago when CBC was on strike and they doubled up to fill some of the air time. It's creeping up again now, though.
Anyway, all that aside, tomorrow's show will be fun. They always are. The actors always have great behind the scenes stories. Ms. Binns has been on the show about (without looking it up) 6 or 7 years maybe? Possibly a little less. Her character had an affair with her husband's best friend and he was here in Halifax 2 years ago, just before that affair started on screen. It was just a rumor then and he said he hoped it wasn't going to happen because it wasn't really in character but it did. It was dreadful but it did provide some long time repercussions, i'll give it that.
Anyway, enough of that. I must remember to get my event ticket off the top of the fridge or they won't let me in!
