So this has absolutely nothing to do with my list, but I’m so excited, I’m posting it here anyway.
I just received a knock on my door, and as I am home from work today, I answered it, thinking it might be the mailman with a package. It was something even better.
Living in Long Beach, Kyle and I often see various film crews up and about throughout the city, especially in the downtown and beach areas. Apparently Long Beach is one of the cheaper places to film in SoCal, and LA being the entertainment capital of the world and all, it happens a lot. A few days after we had first moved in to our new apartment, a crew was actually set up on our very street, filming a TV show in a old reception hall right across from our apartment. It sucks, because you’re not allowed to park on your own street to make space for the food and dressing trailers, and so they don’t have any unsavory vehicles making their way on camera. Not that a horribly beat up CRX would ever be considered unsavory. But I digress.
So back to the knock on my door. It was a woman going around letting occupants know that on June 18th, they would once again not be able to park on their own street, because once again some film crew would be using the reception hall. I was a little miffed at first, since the hours were from 9 am to 10:30 pm for no parking, and we have two cars that HAVE to be street parked. But then I read a little further down the letter, and one word stuck out like a beaming beacon of excitement. Dexter. That’s right, Dexter. I’m sure many of you may have no idea what that means, but to me, it means one of my all time favorite shows, to be found on Showtime, or in our case Netflix Watch It Now, will be filmed on my street, mere feet from my door. Dexter himself (or if you want to get all realistic, Michael C. Hall, also well known from Six Feet Under) may very well be walking up and down my sidewalk. I’m feeling very fangirly, and not just a little faint.
Will it be wrong of me to try and get out of work that day? Although what will I do with my damn car?
[...] me the macabre. While perusing this groups forum postings (after posting my own excitement about previous events), I came across a call to Dexter lovers to have another swap. A swap, for us at least, is [...]
