Transformers 2
Once again, I’m going to post off-topic. I saw part of the filming of Transformers 2! I happened to be hanging out in my parent’s condo in Long Beach this past Wednesday evening and it overlooks the end of the 710 freeway, where the crew was filming some car stunts. I’m sure post-filming special effects will make this shot even more spectacular, but seeing it live was pretty neat (and by “neat” I mean heart-thumping: it looks like the camera guy nearly got killed, and a 1/4-ton piece of equipment got ejected over the bridge and director’s head to land in the palm trees near the foot of our building. The post-explosion cheering comes from a group of people watching from a nearby parking garage).

She’s co-written the audio-play of a Louis L’Amour short story produced by Bantam and Beau L’Amour, worked as an executive assistant for a Hollywood publicist, taught English in Spain, and enjoyed the lofty title of Romance Director running the personals sections of a newsweekly in Los Angeles. She lives in Austin, Texas and spends her spare time adding poems to
How wonderful it was to hear your parents’ voices in that video (albeit commenting on a movie stunt gone wrong). Be sure to give them a hug for me! I hope that they are doing well!
