CSI...miami?

LT: So, it's time we have a heart to heart about something. If you're at all like I was, when you think of Miami, your brain automatically calls up images of scenes from the last episode you saw of CSI Miami. Miami must be a really beautiful city filtered through colorful lenses. FALSEHOOD. Let me tell you, it's a real let down to find out that the sky is the same color as every other sky, and government workers aren't, and never will be, beautiful people. Let's just do some visual truth-revealing here:



















Image 1: scene from CSI Miami. Image 2: Actual shot of where this scene was filmed. So yeah, image 1...sweet sky, huh. While Miami does have an abundance of Lamborghinis, it looks way more like image 2...which brings me to my next point...image 2 was taken in Long Beach, California. Yeah. CSI Miami isn't even filmed in Miami. I know! Aside from some aerial views of the Miami skyline, the entire show is filmed in the LA area. So, no, we don't ever see the cast on the streets.

Another great example...crime scene investigators roll in H3s, right? Maybe you should check out the next picture, taken outside of the entrance to our apartment...yes, this is a real CSI van. Ryan and I were so excited to actually see it that we should have probably been more concerned about why it was there in the first place. Whatever. I guess it just goes to show that TV did get one thing right about Miami: the crime.

welcome to miami.

Welcome to our much anticipated blog. Well, at least we'd like to think people really wanted us to start one. Ha. We've been down here in Miami long enough that we decided it was definitely time to get the blog ball rolling. Actually we're just jealous that our (LeighAnn's) friends have blogs and nobody told us that now it's actually cool to have a blog (although maybe that's because the "coolness factor" is still in question, because it took months or years for them to finally say, "yeah, so i have a blog...I don't publicize it...").
First stop: google satellite map of our apartment - Camden. Yes, Camden, as in 'Lil Kim and Joanna's stomping ground. If you zoom in enough, you can even see the pool in the middle of our building. And yes, we are that close to the water.
We have to be honest - until we realized it would make us way more awesome, we never imagined ourselves being the "blogger" types (well, Ryan does have lofty dreams of starting a controversial and in-your-face political commentary blog/radio talk show with Blaine), but there's just so much gosh darn crazy and awesome stuff down here, we would be doing you an injustice by not sharing it. So if anything, this blog will be your resource for all hilarious/interesting things Miami, through the eyes of (future Dr.) Tufts and Mrs. Tufts. Bienvenidos a miami...
