trader joe's and adam sandler

i can't believe what a big deal it is to go to trader joe's in nyc. the check-out line snaked through the store with a girl holding a sign designating where the end is. the store is not very different from the ones in la - the biggest exception is that there's no alcohol isle - there was beer, but there's a separate trader joe's wine storefront, next to the grocery store. and i didn't see any liquor.

on our way back to our apartment, we walked in the middle of a adam sandler movie filming two buildings over from us - video village is actually just outside our building. one of the background saw our trader joe's grocery bags and asked us where it was. i'm so befuddled with the insanity that surrounds trader joe's. don't get me wrong - i love the store. but i guess it's so prevalent in la that i didn't really think of it as something to obsess over. and i had suspicion that the building the production is using today was being prepped for a show. b had mentioned that they were doing some construction in it earlier in the month, but i saw a couple of trucks the other day, one of which had grip equipment. it's almost sad that i could recognize it. maybe i should stay in film production for now - i can't seem to escape it...
