tuesday march 16

today i saw various production trucks and trailers parked along my street on my walk to the hospital. a few of these trailers, including one parked right outside our front door, had names on them, such as "michael" and "amanda." remembering seeing a notice warning that the warner brothers pilot nikita was shooting nearby today, i decided to do some research when i got home. the results were far more entertaining than expected, as i discovered "michael" was shane west and "amanda" was melinda clarke, aka julie cooper from the o.c.. for a moment, i debated hanging out on my balcony for the afternoon, peering down at their trailer in hopes of a possible celebrity sighting, but ultimately figured that a five-second glimpse of julie cooper might not be worth the wait. plus, i wasn't sure i'd even recognize shane west if i saw him.
