celebrity sightings

Well, not by me. But a movie Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz are starring in has been filming in Boston for awhile, near my sister’s school campus. Then, a few weeks ago, they started shooting in none other than Sevilla, Spain for a couple of the action scenes! Too cool!

Although it was just their stunt doubles for the first several days of shooting, it’s still exciting! They were shooting all over Sevilla’s center, plazas and sidewalks I walk through every day. I was walking to class one morning past the bullring, which is on the main road by the river, and they were filming a car chase inside of the ring. I realize I sound like a 10 year old boy here, but…neat! I am definitely going to see the movie just to be able to say, I’ve been there!

Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz arrived in town a few days ago, and were shooting down in Cadiz for a running of the bulls scene when the bulls got loose and did some damage. I saw it on the news here and it looked like the bulls were out of control! Anyway, not sure if they’re still in town, I heard they’ll be here through December but who knows. Maybe I’ll spot one of them in line at Starbucks while I’m studying one day!

There are days where it scares me that I'm in my 20s already - just barely, that's true, but still. When I was a kid I used to think that by now I'd have traveled the world, written an award-winning novel, and become some sort of celebrity (of course!). Now that I'm almost out of college, I feel like my time to do something amazing early in life is coming to a close - which makes such driven and talented people like Mindy Kaling all that more amazing to me!

Mindy Kaling:

"The following year, she began attending Dartmouth College, where she was a member of the improvisational comedy troupe "The Dog Day Players" and the a cappella group "The Rockapellas," as well as the creator of the comic strip "Badly Drawn Girl" in The Dartmouth college newspaper. She graduated in 2001.[4] In 2003, she portrayed Ben Affleck in a play entitled "Matthew & Ben", which she also co-wrote. The play was named
one of Time magazine's "Top Ten Theatrical Events of The Year"."

I know this is my 2nd post about someone from The Office in a short time period, but hey! It's only my favorite show, after all. I love seeing stories like her - she is so focused and driven. You can see how all her side projects and hobbies have led her to where she is now: a talented and hilarious writer/actress!

Jenna Fischer and I are twins!!

 

Jenna Fischer is SO DARN CUTE! Not only is she a freaking awesome (and HILARIOUS) actress, but she's also so refreshingly wholesome, in a not sicky-sweet way. And she has a cute blog on her MySpace!

Anyway, I found this adorable picture of her at the celebration for the 100th episode of The Office, and I realized....I know that look! I make that face in about 95% of the photos of me on Facebook! (The other 5% are split between awkward/scary pictures of me while I'm sleepy, and actual normal pictures of me.)

Pshhh I totally CREATED that look!

So I put together a uh...little medley of photos here. Yes, I searched all of my photos on Facebook. I am THAT lame. And clearly have nothing better to do (definitely not cleaning my room...or packing for Spain...or watching my backlog of Netflix movies....or catching up on emails......)

P.S. That bottom right picture is of me and Chris - probably my favorite funny picture of us together :).
