Something exciting is happening but we’re not sure what it is. There are two identical entrances to our building, and there are camera crews carrying equipment in to the other half of the building. In front of the building there are trucks loaded with costumes and hair and makeup chairs. There is a table of food on the sidewalk (the kids are eyeing that). Cool looking guys are standing around. Too cool to go up to and ask in idiot talk “what’s up?” Sure we could let ¿Que pasa? roll off our tongues, but then we’d be standing there looking like fools, unable to appreciate just how very cool the people are who are being filmed right here in our building. Therefore, I’m acting too cool to care. We’ll just outcool them with our indifference.

Later we see Benito standing outside watching all the action. He confirms that it is in fact the filming of a pelicula (movie). What movie? we ask. He doesn't know. But he assures us that no one famous is here.
I'm excited reading about your excitement. Is the building you live in really old and beautiful?
ReplyDeleteNo, not really. It is much nicer than some of the modern buildings. It is not as ornate as others. Don't know why they picked here. I'd love to know what the other apartments in the building look like inside. Ours is pretty plane jane - pretty much minimally furnished. If Shannon lived here she'd turn it into a fabulous place. I don't think I'm so talented, especially on the kind of budget you put into a place for one year.
