Fake Fire

So a while ago, I talked about a movie being filmed a couple blocks down the street. Well, a couple nights ago they finished filming. This was interesting because, they finished with a fake fire. From my bedroom window I could see the spotlights, and we walked down to the set to see what was going on. There was a pretty big crowd off on one end of the sidewalk, and we joined them. About 20 minutes later, there was a flame that came out of one of the windows, then died out. Then they had to take the shot again, this time the flame lasted longer, and there were fire fighters running into the building. The final time there was a flame was after many people left, and this time it lasted longer, with a huge explosion in the middle. It was a pretty interesting experience. I'm excited to see the movie, not because it's a made-for-TV adaptation of a romance novel, but because my neighbourhood's posing as little Italy in it. Very cool.

And to an unrelated subject, I was in the car today, listening to my Satellite radio and I decided I would listen to "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'", from Scissor Sister's latest album. I turned up the volume and was soaking in the dancingness of this song, until I had to go into the "Midtown Market" CO-OP. So I was in CO-OP, getting some milk and as soon as I opened the freezer door, this very song was playing behind the freezer. I stopped for a second and listened to it, before closing the door becuase I realized people were staring at me. It was very cool. So here's a Scissor Sister's song that makes me happy whenever I listen to it.

Most definitely! It's ironic because of the song title...

And seriously, how can you resist a guy in a vinyl jumpsuit?

You'll have to let us know when that film will be shown so we can catch out ur huud.

I don't know how Barbara. My friend Nigel is now completly addicted to the video because of the vinyl jumpsuitness of Jake Shears.

I'll let you know.
I might be on Channel 3,381,721 for all I know, but apparently it's out in February.

That Jake sure can dance...
I have one Scissor Sister's song I bought when I heard Jake and Anderson Cooper are great friends.
This ones not bad either.

He is quite the dancer...
Hmm, that's really interesting, I wouldn't have guessed them being friends. I haven't heard a lot of other Scissor Sister's but this song is fun!
