Back from camping (pics here) and boy am I not burnt. I was expecting to be fried since there were no clouds on sunday. Saturday was okay but the clouds would scatter and the sun would shine hard every time I decided to leave the pool area. The comedians “Oot and Aboot” were very funny and complimented each other’s styles nicely. Get out to see them if you have the chance. Best line of the evening: “Ever see your parents having sex when you were a kid? I did! I was scarred for life. What was with that trail of candy? And why the clown?”

Celebrity watch: They’re filming “Cinderella Man” around the corner from my house and the street is packed with old Model T cars and trucks and they refacaded 90% of the businesses. Ironically (?) there is a men’s bath house at the end of my street. They’ve stripped a few trees halfway down so they can do a low-ish shot in the winter without the darned foliage getting in the way. And it seems Russell Crowe signed the window of the computer store I use to work in over the xmas holidays. I bet they’ll be charging more for iPods now… When I got home from work today, they were releasing the extras from the set (I think there was a couple hundred) and they were streaming off the set past me to get to holding. In their costumes they looked like something from “Grapes of Wrath”. Quite freaky, actually.
