Last week my wife achieved the monumental when she became relationally one degree separated from Oprah. Now that sentence sets up a back-story and here it is!
Many years ago Valancie tutored a young girl named Ellen Page while she was acting in a show that was called ‘Ghost.com’ at the time. This was in the fresh-faced and wide-eyed days when anything dot com was the peak of internet savvy. That show went on to become the moderate YTV success that we glimpse periodically as ‘I Downloaded A Ghost’. Ellen has gone on to star in the follow up movie to ‘Superbad’ called ‘Supergood’….I mean ‘Juno’ and as a result was interviewed on Oprah last week.
I also met Ellen briefly a few times during the filming of the ghost movie but I’m much more excited about the vast number of ‘Arrested Development’ cast members that I am now one degree of separation from, okay two degrees (I do mean briefly).
My self titled CD was reviewed by the Belgian based online magazine called Rootstime and I believe the review is written in Dutch. I’ve tried some online translators and can get the vague and general idea of the review but I would like to get some nuance and detail. If someone who is fluent in Dutch and English could translate for me I would be very grateful, in fact the first who can give me translation satisfaction will get a free copy of my new EP, “I Heart Elsewhere” (in your choice of download or normal burned and mailed CD format).
I would love to go to Belgium one day. I find the diversity of languages and cultures there fascinating….oh yeah, and the chocolate too.
