This was blocks from my office...and the thing that held up traffic for hours as it was rolled down Smithfield and wood streets.
See the white crap in the streets? Fake snow...it stuck around for months.

For possibly the first time ever, I am speechless! My brain cannot process that.
Do I get some kind of award for being the one responsible for this?
Did you reply with, "well then can't you charge a hotel on his credit card, too?"

During a lunch break we went to the NYC financial district when they filmed there and saw all the tumbler tanks parked everywhere and some Gotham PD cars. Was pretty cool. Seeing the flying bat thing looks like it was much cooler though.

I watched the behind the scenes of the Heinz explosion. How badd were your ears ringing afterwards?

I bought goat cheese and crackers so she has a club level snack area prepared and waiting.
Book your reservations for my futon now folks! Available dates are filling up quick. $456 a night plus resort fees. Breakfast included if I feel like it.
So you know how I somehow hurt my arm the other day and didn't know what in the world happened to it? Well I was a bit worried that going bowling would just make it hurt more, since it was kind of acting up yesterday. But it actually ended up nearly fixing the problem. The first couple of swings were slightly aching, but I must have stretched it out or something, because it feels great today. Full flexibility and everything!
Also the bowling ally got new shoes on Friday, so we got to break them in. They were a bit painful at first, but once they stretched out they were great! And they also weren't as worn out on the bottom and had better traction, so the first time you went up to bowl you almost face-planted because you're not used to it. I warned my friend of it, but even he nearly face-planted. Also, I won the first game by a landslide! And then I won the third game by one point. I think we played 5 or 6 games.
After that we had an intense Mario Kart battle. I started out awful. At one point it was Friend A in 1st, me in 10th, Friend B in 11th, and Friend C in 12th. I ended up getting first place after 32 races, and I had only been in first place for 3 races. One was some random one in the middle of the game, then I started falling out of it, and then I led for the final two races. I'm pretty clutch, I know.

I like to see on maps where things are filmed. This picture confuses me though because Smithfield St and Kaufmann Way do not run parallel...in fact are a couple of miles away from each other. (According to Bing maps...anyway)

Side note: Filming crews normally clean up after themselves or pay the city to do it for them.
So somebody didn't do their job!

Vigilantes always leave the mess they make behind for the authorities to clean up.

Hours. I had taken preemptive aspirin and promptly drank my pain away after we left Heinz field. So it wasn't TOO bad. But was quite loud!

Awesome!
You will be looking for three main locations for this movie, downtown Pgh, Oakland and north side.the trailers were parked on William penn way and 6th and the movie was filmed on wood, Smithfield, 7th and 4th avenue in downtown. At Oakland it would be the scene where the column of the building explodes, big scene with motorcycles and huge fight. Should I have put a spoiler on that?
The crew did clean up the snow,but it was also stuck to the buildings and ventilation systems for a long time.

"Mommy...mommy...what are you doing?" Heard that plenty of times.
I just don't know what it is about shutting the door to the bathroom, that makes both people and animals "needy" all of a sudden. There aren't any children at home, but my dog's mission is to interrupt me any time I need to go to the bathroom. Sometimes, the door doesn't quite shut tightly, and he just barges in, wagging his tail. Every time he does this, I tell him to get out. Now here's the deal: this has been going on for the past 5 years. If I do shut the door tightly and he can't barge in, he'll whine and scratch at the door. I can only conclude that either he thinks that I am incapable of managing bathroom skills on my own, or it's just another one of his (many) ploys to get more attention!
