CELEBRITY SIGHTING(S) OF SUNDAY Monday, September 11, 2006 |
A double sighting yesterday, which is good because I've been in a drought since I saw Audrina. Which in hindsight, I would have asked to see her massive neck tattoo.
LET'S GO!
WHO: Billy Drago
WHERE: Driving past our cab on the way to LAX
CELEB GRADE: D-
First, while you may not know his name, you'll probably know his face. Usually cast as the villian, Billy has been around. However, it seems he's seen better days. The last time I saw him was in whatever that last Michael Jackson video was. Not good.
Anyway, he raced by in his black Mustang, rocking out to some song. Good for you, Billy! Head up! Too bad he would be overshadowed by who came next.
WHO: Elizabeth Berkley
WHERE: Los Angeles International Airport
CELEB GRADE: C+
Yeah, I gave her a C+. What are you going to do about it? I'm not saying that Berkley isn't amazing, but Showgirls totally drags down the Saved By The Bell curve.
She was leaving what I think was the Quantas Club. She was unmistakable. I did one of those quiet gasps and then realized that I was the only lion who spotted that gazelle. Awesome.
Previous Celeb Sightings: Audrina Patridge, Breckin Meyer, Seth Rogen, Bob Saget (part 2), Arnold Vosloo, Deep Roy, Kiefer Sutherland, Broken Lizard (Michael Weaver, Paul Soter, Steve Lemme, Erik Stolhanske), Joshua Jackson, Jamie Lee Curtis (part 2), Dennis Rodman, Billy Dee Williams, Danica McKellar, Edward Herman, Arden Mytin, Keanu Reeves, Justine Bateman, Carl Reiner, Jessica Simpson, Greg Pitts, Mischa Barton, Jamie Lee Curtis, Luke Perry, The Hilfigers

SINCE EVERYTHING ELSE WAS GOING SO WELL Saturday, September 09, 2006 |
All I wanted was a day off.
Work has been pretty crazy. I don't think I've worked less than a ten hour day in about two weeks. And tomorrow I'm back off to Dallas for all the fun that one could milk out of Dallas (read: not a whole lot.) So I just wanted today to be a chill day to relax.
So of course, last night on the way out of the parking garage, I can hear something in one of my tires. Upon further inspection, it's a screw. Upon inspection this morning, it's totally flat. Hooray. Thank you to all the construction going on in the neighborhood. I wish I could send them the bill. Later today I've got to get the mini-tire on and just wait until I get back from Dallas to fix it.
And I had some laundry I wanted to do before I left. Someone, of course, snaked it from me this morning. They must have started before the official laundry start time of 9am. I wander out around 10am, the dryer is done, I make my move.
10:30am I head out to move my stuff from the washer to dryer. I take the other person's clothes out of the dryer (read: two shirts and a pair of jean shorts) and put them on top. Then I toss my stuff in the dryer and start another load in the washer.
On the way out, I learn that the laundry belongs to one of our seldom seen neighbors who is just as retarded as everyone else. Some quick back story, she's the one that always gets in late night fights with our gay neighbor about using the laundry (read: they're both trying to use it after the 9pm cut-off time), and for some reason she walks a long way to dump her garbage in the bin of a neighboring condo instead of just using ours which is much closer to her apartment.
But I digress. Seldom-seen starts questioning me, "Were my clothes done?" Yeah, for about a half an hour, duh, watch the clock. Then she starts into this sob story about how she had to wash her TWO SHIRTS AND SHORTS again. I play the good-guy card and offer, "I just put my stuff in the wash, I can take it out and you can jump in on my quarters." But that leads to a "I don't have time" story from her.
So we walk back and I'm apologizing, but I'm not really sure what for. Basically, she didn't pay attention to the time, wanted to wash her clothes, but ultimately didn't have time and that was my fault...?
I'm fed up with these jerks. I'm fed up with this construction. I'm fed up with people parking on my street so they can go to the terrible bars on Wilshire. Screw this place. We're moving to the South Bay.
