Matthew McConaughey is filming a movie outside my office. I think Jennifer Garner is there too. I mean, they’re definitely both supposed to be filming a movie here in Boston so unless he’s also filming one that just he alone is in, it must be the one that they’re both in. Maybe she’s not in this scene though, who knows.

I’m not sure why they keep filming movies on this street. So far, in the past year it’s been “New York” and “Paris” and I think a few other “cities.” I’m not sure what city it’s supposed to be this time. I guess the street does look a little like Paris or Greenwich Village, if you close your eyes and squint. There’s a French restaurant with a big Art Nouveau sign so I guess that makes it seem more Parisian, if nothing else.

Anyway, I didn’t really see Matthew–well I did but I didn’t realize it was him until someone said it was–apparently he is extremely fake-tanned–but I am so fucking annoyed that they AGAIN have the street blocked off, which meant I could not go to the little store to buy some cream for my coffee and something to eat, so I had to walk farther (with my sore feet) to buy restaurant food. I am telling you, I was ready to ask the PA if they had a permit to block pedestrian traffic and say it was really annoying for them to be telling people they “can’t” walk down the street, but I decided not to. I almost went on a casting call (just for extras; nothing important) for this movie and since they tend to have the same local production crews for all of them, I think it’s best not to get myself marked down as a troublemaker. Just in case.

If I had gotten cast in this, it would have been pretty weird to be doing scenes outside my office. Like, during the breaks I could just run up and check on things! See what’s going on around the water fountain, right? Even though we don’t really have a water fountain. We have a bubbler, because the tap water has brown silt in it. Thank you, Big Dig.

I want my coffee though! Now that I’ve had my whine.

I’m looking forward to seeing the various spam comments that magically appear every time there’s a famous name mentioned here. There must be some kind of robot that crawls along looking for them. I can tell it’s spam because the site shows up as having a comment, but there’s never anything there.

On another note, here’s a picture that I took that I am really enjoying looking at lately. I like the dipped-in-pewter look.
