Musing #1:
For anyone closely following both Jake Gyllenhaal and Austin Nichols, it would be hard to miss what happened this past weekend. Jake was at the Toronto Film Festival 2017, first appearing to the public on Thursday, Sept 7 in New York City at the Calvin Klein Fashion Show and 29 something or other, which hilariously and interestingly enough was also attended by his man's ex-beard, Chloe Bennet.

This was too coincidental:

Do you reckon along with the purse clutch, there was a renewal contract on a clipboard along with a fine point Sharpie carried on Bennet's person, just in case? Did she perhaps seek out Jake, desperately desiring a contract renewal with his hubs? A haunting spin of Aretha Franklin's "Rescue Me" in its own solo playlist seems to come immediately to my mind. ;-)
Musing #2: Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Austin was allegedly filming a new shorty flick entitled "Isabel". Does any other fandom oldster see the irony in this title, for one? Let's reminisce back to 2010 for a moment because this is too funny.
Jake Gyllenhaal Confused by Isabel Lucas Rumors:
Starpulse. By Fred Topel. April 10, 2010
Comic book conventions are not usually the place for celebrity gossip. Stars go to show previews of their superhero movies to fans and bask in their star struck adulation. Jake Gyllenhaal went to WonderCon in San Francisco to promote this summer's video game movie, Prince of Persia. When a journalist in a press conference asked him how things were going with Isabel, Gyllenhaal didn't know what he was talking about.
“Who?”
Gyllenhaal asked the journalist who’d asked him about Lucas.
The reporter then asked if he was in fact dating Isabel. The actors had been spotted together and rumored to be dating. Either those reports are false, or Gyllenhaal is taking the fifth. “It’s news to me, my friend,” Gyllenhaal said. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

To
deflect the personal question, Gyllenhaal’s colleagues joked that he would like
to meet this mysterious Isabel. Then the actor played along.
“Yeah,
yeah, that would be nice,” Gyllenhaal said.

That Austin would write a shorty film entitled "Isabel" is indeed worthy of a second glance. But not to get too distracted. 250 GB worth of Instagram Stories and tweets later [that will not be given the light of day here at Narnia], the entire bout of smoke and mirrors can be nicely summarized in this tweet timeline:

Note the Start and Wrap times for the filming of "Isabel":
Start Date: Thursday, September 7, 2017
Shooting Schedule: 6 days
Wrap Date: Tuesday, September 12, 2017
Jake popped out of his prairie dog hole [post-paper dog Leo and speed dial beard Greta Caruso photo ops in late August] when?
New York Fashion Week - Thursday, Sept 7
Toronto Film Festival - Friday, Sept 8 through at least today, Sept. 10
The two men's time periods of activity look like a matching pair of socks to me, not sure about anyone else. That's a closet analogy for: perfect counter coverage performed to prove Austin was thousands of miles away from Jake, who was clearly in Canada.
