1. I really do enjoy doing tourist-y things.
2. Pink's has delicious hot dogs (I got the spicy Chicago sausage AND the bacon and chili dog). I'm overweight going on obese.
3. I would like to live in Los Angeles.
4. I've met a few "celebrities" in my day.
The reason I started thinking about celebrities was because of the weird look-a-like people that hang out around the Chinese theater and take pictures with Japanese tourists. You know, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, Pinhead, Freddy Krueger, Spiderman, etc etc. Anyway, I mentally compiled a list of celebrities that I've met (and by "met" I mean, I came within 5-10 feet of that person, and this list doesn't include athletes or musicians), and here's my list of who and where:
1. Richard Dreyfuss (Border's in Montclair. I was pretty excited because I loved his character in "American Graffitti.")
2. The blind kid from Dumb and Dumber (Lindsey's house. He was playing Nintendo with her brother I think)
3. Scott Bakula (Filming Quantum Leap in Claremont)
4. Drew Carey (Also at Border's in Montclair. He was doing a book signing)
5. Marshall from Alias (Dodger game)
6. Coolio (SLC airport)
7. Guy with the long hair from Guatemalan super-group Contacto
Not a bad compilation of D-list celebrities, right? There might be more, but I can't think of them right now. However, there is one celebrity that I just recently met that I am more excited about than the rest of the others combined. Not only did I meet this celebrity, but I also rubbed his tummy and felt his furry head. Here he is:
No, I didn't meet Weird Al, I met the dog on the cover of this album. Turns out he is the pet of a guy I go to school with. Let's just say this was the friendliest/scariest-looking dog I have ever met, and the first celebrity that I have ever scratched behind the ear.
On a different subject, I went and saw "Transformers" this weekend and it was the first movie I've seen this summer that didn't disappoint. In fact, it was way better than I imagined it would be. The last time I was ever really blown away by the special effects in a movie was in Jurassic Park. Well, maybe it was in the second X-Men movie where Nightcrawler is about to attack the president at the opening of the movie. Either way, I thought the special effects in Transformers were absolutely incredible. Not only that, but the movie was hilarious. Shia LeBouf is a great actor. I hadn't seen him in a movie since "Holes" (which was also a great movie), but I look forward to seeing whatever movie he makes next. Actually, I think his next movie is the new Indiana Jones film. Should be good.
Anyway, I need to get back to the Dodgers game. I'll try and update more frequently.

A famous "hot" celebrity signed my 8th grade yearbook with a nice big "69". At the time, I had no idea what that meant, but now that I do, I'm shocked that an 8th-grader would write that in someone's yearbook.
That famous celebrity? None other than Jessica Alba.
Dang, how could I forget about the girl that I tell everyone asked me to prom, only to have me tell her that I didn't want to go with her because I didn't think she was going anywhere in life?
By the way, she looked weird in the Fantastic Four movie with her fake blonde hair and blue contact lenses.
Yeah, if only that story were true.
She was on The Today Show the other morning (I think it was the Today Show), and they mentioned how smart determined she was to graduate high school at the age of 16. Smart? Yeah, right. She was/is a huge ditz that hung out with a weird crowd.
transformers is great. did you see 'live free or die hard' yet? i had low expectations but i was pleasently surprised at how entertaining it was. as far as the 'die hard' movies go, it was as good as the others.
The blind kid on dumb and dumber. It's all of our claims to fame. Sad but true.
