Disruption on the streets

There is something absolutely fascinating about watching a film crew film a scene right in front of your eyes. Thats what I saw today coming back across the pedway from lunch. The pedway is a sidewalk that crosses the major roads downtown, windows all the way from one end to the other so you can feel like you're walking on air. Anyway, they're usually full of bustling 9-5ers wearing their business attire, along with just the regular folks and tourists milling around town. Today was the usual on the way towards my lunch date destination but on the way back the pedway was crammed full of people all lined up along the left hand side trying to catch a glimpse of the action going on down below. Me being of the curious sort had to see what they were all gawking and clawing to see so I push my way to the windows, thinking maybe there had been some sort of accident in the street or maybe some sort of cop action taking place right below us only to find the street blocked off on one side and a film crew going about their business. I had no clue who the actors were although many around me were claiming to have met that person or seen one of their movies. I was faintly and unusually interested, its not like I hadn't seen filming taking place before it happens quite frequently around my cozy little shire especially during the spring to summer months but this was different I could actually see the actors this time where as usually theres so many people milling around you're lucky if you can get a glimpse of arm or hair. Too bad I didn't know who it was it would have been interesting. Oh well that was my excitement for today now tis back to the grindstone and toiling away at my desk while dreaming of being in movies. Wouldn't that be fun?!
