BEST INTERNATIONAL ALBUM - THE EMINEM SHOW
switched on the Juno Awards (the canadian music awards) just in time to be feel pride in my country at actually giving Eminem a much-deserved award for the eminem show (of course, this category may represent record sales, though; i'm not sure). of course, he wasn't actually there but he did send a taped message. he was wearing a 50 Cent shirt (always working 24/7 for the Shady empire) and actually gave a nice thank you message. but what i loved most was that he said 'fuckin' in his little speech and no one edited it out. ha.
did i tell ever tell you how much i love this fuckin country?
i really do. more and more every day.
REASON #430:
they gave Tom Cochrane (our version of don henley) the lifetime achievement award or something like that; well, in Canada when someone incorporates a 'peace, not war' sentiment he gets a standing ovation and a roundful of cheers and applause. another reason why i love this country so much.
IS THIS NEWS TO YOU TOO?
Alanis Morissette just won the Best Producer award.
i'd noticed the guy sitting beside her when she got up to get to the stage. it looked like an actor i've liked for a while but nah, couldn't be. well, it was him! she thanked her 'partner, Ryan Reynolds'! fuck me. that's who i thought it looked like but the guy was all suited-up and not acting silly so i wasn't sure. but it was him. he looked good and at peace with himself, and he has Alanis. damn him.

this afternoon i actually rounded up my cd's from all over the house and gave a reason for the bookshelves to exist like they once had. i also took time out to do a recount of all my cd's and make sure how many i really had (i keep a detailed list in case my apartment ever gets raided).
felt great to actually take time out and go through every album and give them their place.
now i'd need another bookcase, though.
