Wait, what?
So when did this blog change from my original idea of talking about movies and TV to me talking about all the famous people I've seen? I mean, I figured I'd get excited about seeing famous people, but I never figured I'd become such a starfucker. Sigh.
Famous Faces in Famous Places
So add another place to the list of good celebrity spotting. Buddha's Belly restaurant. As mentioned before, we saw Orlando Bloom there. Now we've seen the guy from Cluless and most recently the best friend on Scrubs. You know (whispers) the black guy.
On a related topic, Buddha's Belly is fucking great. You should go there. NOW!

The End is Nigh
So, tonight is the last episode of the season for Arrested Development. Which is sad as it may not be back. The show has been a little up and down this season, but it's definitely still one of the best shows on TV right now. I hope the story about taking it off sweeps so that Fox can justify bringing it back is true.
West Wing is already over. I have six episodes saved up. Hope they're good.
Needless to say Lost is barreling towards an end. Hopefully the last four (I think) episodes will all have stuff going on in them. I have to say, I am fully expecting a huge cliffhanger. Maybe it will outdo the cliffhanger from season one of West Wing.
I missed the last two episodes of Deadwood. I heard they're good. I hope I can catch up. I definitely miss hearing the word cocksucker every three minutes.
I CANNOT wait for Gilmore Girls this week. I miss it. I need super fast dialogue back in my life. Plus, Dean returns, so expect good things. My only concern is for next year as Amy Palladino isn't yet signed to come back. Keep your fingers crossed.
Finally, Veronica Mars. I LOVE this show. This is like the Yin to Lost's Yang. There is SO MUCH going on. I mean, Frank is terrible at watching TV shows. So I normally tell him, if he's missed two episodes, to just start watching and he'll catch up. Not with this show. You miss one episode, and you're done for. My only concern now is that it will have a huge sophomore slump once they solve the murder.
All I have to say, is it's gonna be a busy May. Woot!

Spred 'em!
Although my weekend was not nearly as interesting as Jeff's (save for the parts where I was with Jeff), I did get to have a little fun on Monday. Upon returning from part one of our errands, I got stuck behind a big truck on Columbus. For those of you who don't know me, I can be a very impatient driver. Being so close to home, I was not very willing to put up with a slow driver. At the stop sign on Lomita, the truck did like a triple take before finally turning. I then pulled past him, and promptly ran the stop sign.
Part of it was that I am impatient, but part of it was just that my brain had convinced itself in all the starting and stopping of the truck, I had stopped at the stop sign too. As I passed through the intersection, Andrea promptly informed me that I had run a stop sign and there was a cop sitting right there. Sure enough, out pulled the cop on his motorcycle.
Allow me to stop the story here for a second to discuss two things. First, Motorcycle cops look really stupid. Everytime I see one, I think they're just faking being a cop. I was really tempted to just take Andrea's boat of a car and run this guy off the road. Not because I hate cops, or didn't want to get arrested, but because he just looked so damn stupid. Second, I still don't have a California license plate or drivers license.
Thankfully, as I was considering having the cop follow me INTO MY APARTMENT COMPLEX, I remembered that, technically, I don't even live in this time zone let alone the state or city. I pulled over and the cop approached my window. After the obligatory "know why I pulled ya over" and the answer, we got into a discussion about what I was doing in California and why I would ever want to move here. It turns out that the cop was from Lincoln, Nebraska. He looked at my license, insurance and registration, and then informed me that the ticket for running a stop sign in LA county is $250! Thankfully, he let me walk, with the warning "Just be careful, we do things different here in LA."
Moral of the story; don't get pulled over in LA county unless you are from some yokel state and still have all of your identification from that state. Also, it helps if you're white.

Ahem!
Add Danny Strong (Buffy, Gilmore Girls) to that list from below.
