I was torn over whether to use this picture, which is cute of Mom and me, or this one, which is just a pretty picture, I think. Either way, we went on the Paramount Studio Tour this morning, which was very enjoyable!
We got to go on the set of Entertainment Tonight (did you know the female host--Mary Hart, is it?--has it in her contract that her legs must be visible at all times, as she believes they're her best asset?), watch a bit of Everybody Hates Chris filming, and go onto the set of Nip/Tuck. Nip/Tuck was the one I was most excited about, as it's the only one of the three I actually watch. The only bummer there is that the sets are all new this year (for their move from Miami to Los Angeles), so nothing was immediately recognizable. It will be when I watch the new season, though, so that's cool. And I was able to tell which apartment was Christian's and which was Sean's, so that was fun, too. *g*
They were also filming parts of the new Indiana Jones movie out and about, but we didn't learn that until the very end of the tour. I guess that's all hush-hush, but our guide said we DID see some of the filming, we just didn't know it at the time. I suppose I'll have to watch the movie with a close eye when it comes out to see if I recognize anything.
And now, my mom is on a plane back to Chicago. It is very sad. Her visit was much too short, and I really won't see her again until Christmas. Ah well. A few days is better than none at all!
