the last crusade

If you go to Yale or live in the area you've probably heard about the filming of Indiana Jones 4 in New Haven later this month. They're shooting a car chase between Branford and Saybrook which will end in the middle of Commons. It should be amusing to see on the big screen, though it will probably be really annoying to drive around while they're filming.

So we've been talking about the open casting call for extras in lab for the past week or so and when I came in this morning three of my labmates had already been. Armed with 'secret' info that the casting call had started earlier than 1pm, Michelle and I made the spur of the moment decision to abandon work and pursue our shot at fame and glory (haha). We needed headshots so we took digital copies of our senior pictures first to SML, where apparently they don't have any color printers, then to Tyco for a glossy printout. We got to the Omni early enough that there wasn't a substantial line so we walked right into a room where they made us fill out an application of sorts. They asked for like every possible size and I had no idea what my measurements were (I tried to think back to the hip-to-waist ratio experiment in our suite but couldn't recall the numbers!) -- so I ballparked it +/- 8 cm. oops. After that we waited in line for awhile. At the end some guy took a picture of us holding our applications, then took our applications. The casting call took around 40 minutes, and it was 2 hours round trip to and from lab.

We probably won't get cast but if we do I am making
