Celebrity Encounter

Scene: Jen and I are waiting in line outside of the Elgin Theater to pick up our tickets for the Toronto International Film Festival showing of The Informant.

Celebrity Lady: Excuse me, is this line to pickup tickets?

Jen: Yes.
Celeb: How far back does it go?
Jen: Not that far.
Celeb: OK, thanks.
Jen: No problem.

pause - raised eye look between us

Me: Was that...
Jen: Yes....

pause - look around and Celebrity Lady 5 feet away

Jen: You think she would have 'people' to do this for her.
Me: Yeah, or have the tickets delivered to her hotel.

pause - I take a good look at Celebrity Lady.

Me: That's really...
Jen: Yes.
Me: Huh. It looks like she's going to the back of the line. Kudos to her.


We proceed to get our tickets and go to the end of the ticket holders line.

Jen: This is moving quickly
Me: I bet she doesn't have to go to the end of this line. They'll sneak her in.
Jen: Yeah. I wonder is she is in a moving that's showing or if she's just here for fun.
Me: I don't know.



We walk around the corner (it was a long line).


Me: Okay! Can we just say it out loud. That was Dana Delaney right?
Jen: Yes, right.
Me: Good, just wanted to make sure.
Jen: Why? Was it not obvious?
Me: It was my first thought, but honestly, she looks fabulous! I thought for sure I was getting her mixed up with someone younger. Don't you think she looks great?
Jen: Very good, but short. Why is everyone on TV so short?
Me: I don't know, but we'd be giants in their world, no one would hire us. I guess we should stick to the jobs we have.
Jen: Lucky us.
Me: Yeah. Lucky.

Gnomes

While walking the dog around the neighbourhood.....

RJ: Speaking of poop, do you know where my underwear is?
pause
RJ: I checked the laundry hamper, nothing, then I checked the washer and dryer, nothing.
pause
RJ: It's weird, I can't find them.
K smiling: I know exactly were they are. In my hamper. I forgot to put the last load in two nights ago. Sorry!
RJ: I didn't check there. That's okay.
K: Darn, I should have said the Underpants Gnomes got them.
RJ: Yeah, that would have been good timing.
K: What would have been funny is if you emailed me about it. Then I could have used the underpants gnomes line and it would be funny because all along I would know where they were and you still wouldn't know.
RJ: Ha ha, real funny.
K: Well it would have been to me.
pause
K with a look of horror: Wait a minute, does this mean you're not wearing underwear now??
