Friday Favorites No. 7

This week was surprisingly wonderful! Not only was it short, thanks to the day off on Monday, but on Wednesday I got a little surprise at work! I showed up to a parking lot full of trailers and hallways full of weird equipment. After some digging, I figured out they were filming scenes for Homeland. Apparently this is not the first time they have used our office building as the CIA Headquarters. If you watch the show, you will be familiar with the explosion scene during a memorial service at the end of season 2. Well that was filmed in the atrium of our building, too.

Now on to my favorites...

FAVORITE DAY
Well, it was going to be Monday, but I have to give this one to Wednesday! Here are some stalker shots I got of the filming.
1. Mandy Patinkin, who plays Saul is the one on the right in the white shirt.
2. They transformed the bottom floor into the CIA Headquarters Lobby
3. The film crew in our office, literally right outside my office.
4. Mandy Patinkin and another actor right outside our office which is what they were filming.

FAVORITE TWEET
I feel like we can probably all relate to what @WhitneyEllen was feeling when she got Sun Chip crumbs all over herself.

FAVORITE OUTFIT
This outfit makes me wish I had a super chic office job instead of working at home where my daily uniform is pajamas sweats jeans and a t-shirt. Helena from Brooklyn Blonde looks super chic in this white suit. Plus it has tuxedo stripes, which I love.

FAVORITE RECIPE 
I love chai and I love scones, so how could I not love these white chocolate chai scones from Roots and Blossom. I will definitely be making these in the near future!

FAVORITE PIN
This was originally pinned as painting a scarf, but I think it would just be an awesome on a canvas and hung in the living room!

 
FAVORITE VIDEO
I haven't been watching the Voice, but being a Baylor Bear, I can't avoid hearing about the success of Holly Tucker. And the Baylor-sphere was all a twitter when she got Blake Shelton to do a "Sic 'Em Bears!"


FAVORITE SHOW 
This girl is super excited that Arrested Development is back. It took a few episodes for me to get into season 4 but Tobias reeled me right in.

  5. So jealous of you getting to see the Homeland shots and cast! Easily one of my favorite shows and I will admit that Clair Danes has been one of my favorite actresses since 'My So Called Life'! Way to age myself huh?!

  10. I love Homeland! How cool that they shot in your building!

    And I have to be honest - I've been struggling into Arrested Development - it's just not as good to me as the previous seasons. I really, really wanted to love it, so maybe it went into it with too high of expectations?
