I can show you the world

1. Los Angeles doesn't know how to function in rain. People suck at driving, two stoplights were out on Venice when I was driving to Sony this morning, and the parking garage was soaked.

2. I'm forever going to judge KFC because for a week and a half, I drove past one whose sign said "12 PIEACE CHICKEN." So apparently someone didn't know whether to use "piece" or "peace" and just made a word with both. And then no one caught it for a week and a half.

3. The Kit Kats in the Sony kitchen are going to kill me. I eat one every day. And they're giant.

4. I went to a table read for Community on Monday. The episode was hysterical and I got to meet Joel McHale (the guy that hosts The Soup). I also went to a table read for Til Death last week and met Joely Fisher.

5. Matthew Perry walked by my cubicle last week. Channing told me I should have said "Could I BE wearing any more clothes?" (Friends quote) but I don't think I'd ever be able to do that.

6. We had a casting session for the Showtime show we're doing with Laura Linney so I also got to meet her. She's so classy. Every time I brought an actor into the room she'd stand up, thank them for coming, introduce herself, and apologize for the wait. A) Barely any one stands up for lesser known actors. B) She's Laura freaking Linney. No introduction necessary.

7. This past Friday, I went with some of my Emerson friends to the Happy Ending Bar, which is supposedly East Coast themed. There was a lot of NY stuff everywhere, so it was more New Yorky than East Coasty, but we still had a good time. Lots of dancing. Saturday, Joce and I saw Zombieland and then went on a club crawl to Beauty Bar, Social, Kress, and The Highlands. More drinking and dancing.

8. On the aforementioned club crawl, we saw Jesus in a parkinglot.

I'm gonna live forever

One of my friends works for a company that does promotional work, and was able to get me passes to see the premiere of Fame. I left Sony early to head to The Grove, found a parking spot, stood in line for a little while (saw Megan Mullally...she was in the film, but most of you will know her as Karen on Will and Grace) , got my tickets, and then found Jocelyn's roommate Jess, who interns for People magazine and was with the press. We went into the theatre and got free popcorn and drinks (free food and a free movie...fantastic), and the seats were wicked comfortable. The movie started a little late, but it was worth it. The cinematography was great and I really liked how it looked; there were some good camera shots and sequences. And the dancing was fantastic. Some of the kids in the movie are extremely talented.

We walked out and were given free Fame pins, and leaving was a madhouse. The cast members were there, so people were crowding around them, taking pictures. I got a photo with Kherington Pyne, who was one of the leads in the film and an incredible dancer.

Right after that, we saw Ashley Tisdale and now my life in LA is complete. She was tiny as hell and looked a little stressed, which I don't blame her for because the paparazzi sucked. I felt so bad for her because they pounced as soon as she walked out and wouldn't leave her alone. I couldn't have gotten a picture with her even if I'd tried because her bodyguard was trying to get her out of there, but I didn't even want to make an effort because she looked so harried.

Meeting actors at Sony has been pretty fun. For the rest of this week and next week I'm going to try to ask a lot of questions so I feel like I'm learning something. Last night I went to a taping of the show Rules of Engagement and got to sit to the side of the set with some of the crew members and guest actors, which was pretty cool. I'm going to see if I can go to a taping of one of our other shows because one of the actresses came in last week and she was super friendly and I want to see her in action.
