I decided to do my homework in a scenic place today, so I wandered down to the starbucks on the south bank to do some people watching, I mean, reading. On my way back, around sunset, I came across a film that was being made. I stopped for a second out of curiosity, but couldn't get a good view of the actors, and was about to leave when I heard something that sounded a lot like "Emma Thompson" from the mouth of someone near me. I got a little closer, and sure enough, after the take was over, the actors turned around and it was not only Emma Thompson, but Dustin Hoffman as well! I stuck around for about 15 minutes and watched them repeat a scene a few times. Everyone had to be very quiet and not take any pictures while they were filming, but in between takes you could be as stalkerish as you wanted. It was cool. What a city man, I swear. Finally I got bored and started back on my way home, stopping every now and then to take some pictures, because there was a pretty nice sunset today, especially for a place that usually doesn't have a sun. I feel really self-conscious taking pictures here, because I am anxious for people to know I'm not a tourist. That is very stupid of me, but I can't help it. Thus, immediately after taking a picture, I try to look as local as possible by walking really fast and frowning slightly. Life is so ridiculous. Mine is, anyway.

this is going to be kind of a throwback comment, but you taking a picture and walking away really fast, in my mind, was the perfect image of napolean dynamite mannerisms.
