odds n ends
Today was a special kind of torture. A full day professional development course titled, Assessing Risk: Understanding the New Audit Risk Requirements (zzzzzzzzzz) and then proceeded to sit in bloody traffic for almost 2 hours on the way home. And I was driving into the city which, I would think, be the opposite direction of rush hour direction. First, it was a stalled car in the middle of the highway. Then, it was construction. And to top it off, not only was there a baseball game tonight but also a concert! ARGH!! *releases residual road rage* Wow, major alliteration there.

In continuation of yesterday's post re: filming on Yonge Street, I was able to take a few pictures before the police ushered all the pedesterians off the street. I saw no actors, just crew setting up the set area.
This picture was actually taken at King & Bay from my car while I was driving home. I was stopped at a red light so I whipped out the camera! I have no idea if this has anything to do with the filming on Yonge Street but there's green screen so...
The Apollo comes to Toronto!
By this time, this section of Yonge Street was already closed off to traffic so all the cars you see on the road are part of the set (notice the NY licence plates). There was still people walking up & down the street, though. The officers just started to tell people that they would have to get off Yonge.
NYC taxi cab and fake subway entrance.
Yes, I took a picture of the garbage can because they're Hollywood garbage cans!! They're even covered with plastic!
I forgot to take a picture of the new street signs and the picture I took of the burned up bus didn't work cause I used the wrong setting, duh.
I remember last year, we ran into another film set that transformed Toronto into London. IIRC, it was a Samuel L Jackson movie.

I received my Tyler Lewis (Top4 on CI4) CD today!! *bounces* I am such a Canadian Idol dork.

For my fellow BM gals -- I received a PM from Lucas today. Did any of you get one? He just introduced himself (as if I didn't know who he was!) and he asked about the weather, of all things! LOL I was quite surprised and it kinda made my day. =)

I was just accepted into a certain LJ movie comm and the first movie I downloaded was Jacquou le Croquant starring the ever-so-yummy Gaspard Ulliel. It will have wait til the weekend before I can watch it.
So many things to download, too little time.
