Streep Sighting

I couldn't resist hanging out on Carroll Street in front of my house yesterday to take in the shooting of the film Julie Julia at Cafe Moutarde next door. Starring Meryl Streep and James Tucci, Streep was shooting a scene with Jane Lynch, suitably decked out in 50's garb and painfully high heels.

Of course, expecting any excitement at a film shoot is about what you get watching paint dry. After checking out the mountains of equipment and trying to watch the video monitors for any sign of activity for what seemed an hour, I gave up and went in.

Then came out again, of course...had to have coffee from Tempo next door.

Several of us Carroll Streeters who work at home (or don't work) were lounging outside the restaurant Al-Di-La and talking loudly in a Brooklyn-esqe way. Since we had identified Streep's trailer, we pointed it out, helpfully, to curious passers-by. Finally Streep's burly bodyguard stared balefully at us, and one of my neighbors shouted out "Don't worry, we're not stalking her!" As if that would be calculated to soothe him. But he merely continued to keep a watchful eye on us and did not come over.

What was surprising to me was that with all the stuff all over, cables everywhere, equipment on the sidewalk and antique cars parked in choice spots (they did not actually seem to be used,) we could walk as we pleased, more or less...occasionally the handlers would motion us, politely, to move back or away. Even regular vehicular traffic was not stopped except in brief spurts.

I was quite impressed at the lack of formality, thinking that this was a good example of "negotiation" between different users of the road space, which happens the world over but is frowned upon in the US. As one of the observers said "I can't believe they let people and cars go by, it's an accident waiting to happen." Spoken in true American fashion.

Fox is the one financed by a Saudi, by the way, and owned by an Australian who admitted he uses his network to push his agenda. This way she can come out of the closet without to much riddicule.

The progressive is happy to see his dealer because he's smoked all of his stuff and needs a fix real bad. His dealer drives a brand new BMW financed by the money he makes selling drugs, money that came from government hand outs intended to ease some poor person's misery, but was instead misappropriated by loser progressive addicts.

I suppose that when asked if religion plays a part in her life in an interview in 2009, Streep replied, "I follow no doctrine. I don't belong to a church or a temple or a synagogue or an ashram."

years in Nike Mercurial Superfly III FG terms of size and skill set.You're going to hear alot about teams not being interested in this guy or that one. I'm not buying anything that comes out about these quarterbacks other than what we saw on early boards immediately after the early declaration date.You have to remember that part of these guys' rankings are based on talking to teams, and those teams have no incentive right now to be completely honest in who they are interested in with such a competitive market for quarterbacks. The demand, with the lockout and number of teams looking for a quarterback, is too high, and history has shown us that teams will reach for a quarterback in such a market. I certainly don't see it going the other way,with a precipitous drop like we have seen for some quarterbacks in years when the demand was low. I'll say all four guys go in the first round, and at least one will go much higher than the prognosticators are projecting.[photo via Getty] Sports Wagering Suggestions – Remarkable Suggestions to Consider Portion of what makes sports gripping is
