They're filming Ghostrider in Melbourne at the moment. This is good, because blah blah Australian film industry blah blah money into the local economy blah blah. It's also good, though, because it's totally upping the random value around this place.

For instance, walking up Little Latrobe the other day on the way to the Male's workplace, we saw a truck turn into the street up ahead, carrying a police car on the back. It was obviously a police car, with lights and stuff, but there was something wrong about it. Two seconds late, I realised it was an American cop car. A black-and-white, with "Sheriff" and "Call 911" on the side. I laughed a lot about that.

And today, on my way to work, I walked past Little Latrobe again (different block) and it was cordoned off, and I glanced down it, and seriously did a whiplash-inducing double take. Because there was a burnt-out hulk of a car, and a blasted shopfront, and these weird extra lightpoles, and stuff on the street... and I realised it must be another bit of shooting stuff. I walked home that way too, but there was nothing going on.

It's just bits here and there. Life goes on as usual, and then something crops up out of the blue and goes "Hey! I'm weird and involved with a movie!" It's random, man, and I love it.
