Do you know who that is?

The above words must be heard by celebrities all too often, like an invisible chorus following them on their adventures. I know this because when I'm in the vicinity of someone famous, the chorus sings its usual tune. Such was the case on Saturday night, when we found ourselves in the presence of one Clive Owen. This guy is just darn cool, and you'll know that already if you've seen "Croupier", "Closer", "Gosford Park" or "The Bourne Identity". Anyhow, he seems like a really down to earth kind of guy, and was chatting with anyone and everyone who came up to him. He wasn't surrounded by an entourage either. But that could be due to the fact that no entourage would willingly follow him to the icy cold streets of downtown Toronto in the dead of winter. There is a certain sense of awe that one feels when encountering famous people, particularly actors. These days it's almost like being in the presence of royalty. As such they deserve their chorus... "Can you believe that's him? Is that really him? I thought he would be taller..."

Now it's back to interview prep and CFA studying...woohoo! Can you feel the excitement?!
