Well, it's a big day for this country...

This is the first election where I've actually voted in person (as opposed to using an absentee ballot), so that was exciting. Here's to hoping for a better direction than the last 8 years.

And no matter who you support, go VOTE!

Today I was just walking home from the subway after work, and I happened to notice that there was a bit of a crowd standing around one section of Columbus Circle. So, I walked over, and saw that they were filming something. At first I couldn't really see exactly where the cameras were pointing, and then even once I could see approximately where everything was going on, there was a big statue in the way. I thought about just continuing home, but I was definitely curious, and some nice guy who was part of the crew pointed to where I should go to be able to see better. I asked him what they were filming, and he said "When in Rome," which was something I had never heard of, but I decided to head over to where the guy had mentioned anyway.

So, I got to a spot where I could definitely see what they were filming, and at first I didn't think I recognized anyone, but then the blonde in the middle of everything turned around, and....holy shit, it's Kristen Bell! So I watched the filming of Kristen Bell's new movie for about 5 minutes, which was pretty cool.

When I got home, I looked it up on imdb, and the movie is described as: "In New York City, a young art curator finds herself aggressively pursued by a band of wannabe lovers after she steals coins from a Roman fountain." Hmmm. Interesting.

So yeah. That was my first New York City celebrity sighting, which I thought was pretty awesome. It's not like I actually met her or anything, but still. KRISTEN FUCKING BELL.  It was one of those 'Damn, I wish I had a camera phone' kind of moments. She's hot. XD

It also made me wish I had a Kristen Bell icon, but Blake Lively will have to do, in honor of the voice of Gossip Girl. :)
