| Window Dressing |
As I pulled out of my alley to head to work this morning, the Hollywood set dressers were busy transforming my block into the image of elegant fall perfection. Each house is festooned with pumpkins, mums, dried corn stalks, halloween decorations, and colorful leaves to make it appear as if it is the most Martha Stewart meets Trading Spaces meets HG TV perfection possible. They even set up a couple of scarecrows lounging on the bench in front of the garden on our alleyway (unless they provide round the clock security, I am guessing most of this stuff is stolen before the week is over). It's amusing how the set dressing stops so abruptly. At the house on the corner of our alley, only the right side of the house is being decorated, the left side, presumably out of camera range, is naked of adornment, and about 20 feet up the alley from the scarecrows, are the porta-potty's set up for the crew to use.
I'll try and get some pictures this evening and post them later if it's not too dark. I hate that it gets dark so early now, and we haven't even gone back to standard time yet. I left work about 7:00 PM last night, and it was pitch dark by the time I got home. I grilled a steak out on the deck using a flashlight to see if it was done. |

How does it feel to have James Bond in the neighborhood?

You know, when they announced this movie, the only name I recognized was Nicole's. Then last week, this guy becomes "Bond", and I'm like - damn - that's cool. Never heard of him before that.
