They're
filming some scenes here on my
street in L.A.. I got a pretty
clear view. Punks blocked off
my entire street though. It's
all good except my UPS driver
is lazy and hasn't delivered my
packages because of it. The
scene they're filming looks like
Sarah Silverman and Shalhoub and
some other lady [ed. That's
no lady, that's Traylor Howard...
wait... that didn't come out right.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, creator
Andy Breckman is the dapper gentleman
with the tan jacket and untucked
red shirt talking to Tony.]
The gang on location
I
didn't even know Sarah Silverman
[reprising her role as Marci Maven]
was on the show cause I rarely watch
Monk. And some black guy who looks
like a dog trainer is giving commands
to a dog to start barking on and
off. The guy lifts his index finger
and the dog starts barking. He's
real good.

Obviously
I won’t disclose the location
other than to say it's in L.A. somewhere.
Ha, ha. They will be shooting again
tomorrow and I see a SFPD cop car
parked outside my apartment which
is kind of cool. You
can easily spot Mr. Shalhoub (who
I hear lives only 4 blocks away from
this location). More pictures to come.
If this is against site rules to post
pictures just let me know.

They
are filming again today, but on
the other side of the street so
I don’t have a very good view
today. Doesn’t look like any
of the principles are there today,
but I really can’t tell since
I don’t have a very good area
to look from. I don’t have
any more good pictures, but I have
a pretty good vid of the scene they
filmed and will make that available
later in the day when I get a chance
to upload it somewhere.
Also,
the new pictures I took today show
the mannequin covered with clothing
and all bloodied up.
I'll
try and upload some more pics, but
most of the other ones I took were
way out of focus since I was shooting
from my window and it's real dirty
(hey, it's a bachelor pad!) So the
pics came out of focus.

Yesterday it was raining a bit,
but it was what we call "L.A.
Cold" which is 50 (yes, that's
pathetic) but people here think
50 is cold. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha. Monk was a true warrior though.
He was walking around in the rain
with script in hand, no umbrella,
no nothing, while everybody else
was running for shelter.

I'm
out of work so I really have nothing
better to do with my time! Ha, ha.
I went up on the roof for you guys
and banged my head on a DirecTV
dish in the process, but anything
for some better shots of the action!
Looks
like there won't be much more to
take pics of. There's still some
action going on but on the other
side of the street out of my view.
I
will email all my pictures to those
who've requested it. I pretty much
posted all the pics I have, but
I probably have a few more that
came out bad that I didn’t
post so I'll send those too. If
you want to get on the email list
just PM me. So far I have 6 requests.
I feel so popular and loved.
I’m
going to see about uploading the
video of the scene from yesterday
to You Tube. I'll post a link when
I get a chance.

Hey,
Og [ed. Lovelorn USA message
board poster]... don't hate
me, but you're not going to believe
this... they just parked one of
those trailers for actors to hang
out in right under my window, literally
like 10 feet away. Who comes out
of it? Your woman [Traylor Howard.]
Dude,
if you live in LA, come up here.
She most likely will be here for
a couple of hours since they have
a trailer and everything. Sarah
Silverman is out here again too.
Time for some more pics!

Holy
jeeezus! They are full on filming
again today. The full crew is out.
Big cameras, directors, Tony Shalhoub,
Silverman all the big players are
back. I'm going to have some good
pictures for you guys and some great
vid too. Sun is out so the pictures
should come out better than yesterday.
Woooo hooo!
Tony Shalhoub and
some of the crew
Mystery Guest
Star [I don't recognize him
either.]

Yeah,
no Ted [Levine] or Jason [Gray-Stanford]
sightings. There's another actor
who had a scene with the three.
I'm sure you'll recognize his face,
but I don’t know his name.
I’m
going to upload all my images to
Flickr so you can download the high
res versions.
I have over
30 minutes of video footage now and
have no idea what to do with it. It's
all the same footage anyway. They
filmed the same scene at least 30
times. Talk about perfectionists!

Here's a taste of some
of the new stuff [ed. captions

I swear she
was looking at me when I yelled,
"OG LOVES YOU!"
Hey, why don't
you actors go out and fight
crime instead of drinking
your coffee?
3-22-07 8:29pm
Hey ya'll!
Even
though the filming has ended, the
fun's not over yet! I'm uploading
about 9 minutes of video to You
Tube right now. When it goes live
I'll post it.
Here
are some screen caps from the vids
and some other pics from my camera.
The quality of the video should
be much better than the first video
I posted.
3-22-2007 10:25pm
The
You Tube uploads are finally up.
I had to cut a bit of the quality
on the vids to make the file size
smaller so the quality isn’t
as good as I'd like.
