i can’t wait to see it again. might go tomorrow. it was SO GOOD. and funny! and heart-wrenching! amazing. and spock and uhura? so. hot. together.
god i was going to watch the season finale of ‘dollhouse’ but i don’t know if i can handle that much awesomeness in one night.
update: oops, forgot – we also saw nancy walls at the movie. pretty sure it was her.
in line in front of me at trader joe’s in silver lake. 90% sure it was the former hilary from ‘the fresh prince’.
last night i was boarding my flight from jfk to lax, and i walked by them in first class. yes, spencer still has the terrible beard, but he’s better looking in person. heidi is gorgeous, tiny, and has fantastic hair (though it’s the fake-est color ever).
…on the set of ‘bones’ at fox. i went to visit meghan on set and do a gift exchange, and as meghan was giving me a tour of the standing sets, we turned a corner and almost ran into michaela conlin. who is actually even prettier in person, if that’s possible. i also saw emily deschanel as she was walking away – meghan and i didn’t scurry to crafty fast enough to catch her.
also? visiting fox was terrific and thanks so much to meghan for showing me around, and her crew-mates for being so nice and welcoming! and holly – yes, i’ve stood in booth’s (david boreanaz’s character’s) bedroom. and i rolled around in his clothes. ok, i didn’t do the clothes thing. maybe next time.
arden and i were at LACMA checking out the philip lorca-dicorcia photography exhibition when i heard a familiar voice behind me. hmm sounds like santino, i thought to myself. but surely it can’t be him. i turned around. holy crap it IS santin—good lord he’s tall!
…at zuma beach (towards point dume). maria, clayton, clayton’s sister sue and i went to the beach today and he and a group of people had set up camp just a few feet away. he wore a blue square leg speedo and overall looked pretty hot. i think the woman with him was his ex, brooke burns and there were a couple little girls there too, and either were about the right age to be their daughter. it was a neat sighting, because maria and i watch ‘nip/tuck’ and i’ve been aware of him since ‘profiler’ and clayton and i have probably seen the fantastic four movies 20 times by now.
we also saw a pod of dolphins and a little seal that got separated from his/her family. it swam right up to shore and drew a huge crowd of little kids and parents that were doing a bad job of controlling them. we left a little after the seal showed up and i am still terrified that something bad might’ve happened to him.
today i took my mom and dad to nate ‘n al’s in beverly hills for lunch (corned beef, pastrami, honey smoked turkey). as we were standing near the door waiting for a table i was kind of zoning out (as usual) and when i came to i realized i must’ve been doing the thousand-yard stare in the vicinity of this guy because suddenly our eyes met.
AND IT WAS BRENT SPINER. and inside? i was LOSING MY SHIT. but on the outside – totally casual as if i hadn’t just realized i was standing five paces away from DATA, EVERYONE. DATA! and he’s just, you know, sitting there having lunch with a friend like he’s a normal person and not also DATA.
so i point him (DATA!!!!) out to my mom (being sure to tell her to ‘be cool’) and to my dad as well (me: ‘be cool dad – be cool’; dad: ‘who is this guy again?’). after awhile we’re seated, and our table is around the other side of them and slightly behind so i can finally see who brent spiner (who is taller than i thought) is having lunch with…
AND IT’S MICHAEL DORN. WORF, PEOPLE! – WORF. and can i tell you? he is totally adorable (wireframe glasses!) and totally hot. and tall. and hot. did i mention hot? and my day? MADE.
you have no idea how hard it is not to ditch my parents right now so i can watch some ‘first contact’. seriously, i’m barely holding it together.
update: more trek fun for you – tng for comic relief, original series fun, my favorite episode of reading rainbow aside from the one where levar is sent on a birthday quest.
update: my friend jocelyn referred this entry to la.metblogs.com!
today i got up early and clayton, maria and i met meghan, josh and watson at runyon canyon. it was fantastic! we hiked up a pretty steep hill (a good training area to get into shape for snowshoeing in january) and got a really great view of los angeles. between panting for air. and gulping water. there were a lot of cute dogs (and i’m think this dog’s owner who we stopped to talk to was aya sumika from ‘numbers’. if it wasn’t her this woman looked a lot like her). on our way out of the park we helped a family look for their dog (it was found all the way back at the top of the crest). post-hiking we went to panera for lunch. an all-around great morning and i can’t wait to go back there!
update [wed. 8/15]: we all walked to the mall and there were fake police cars, a swat unit, an ambulance, dogs etc etc – they’re shooting ‘criminal minds’ in burbank this week. they were all over the mall tonight (shooting in front of aldo or thereabouts) and looked like they were set up to shoot in an apartment above a shop on san fernando. /update
tonight clayton, maria, chloe and i walked down to the village in burbank – chloe needed to be walked and maria wanted a bubble tea. as clayton, chloe and i were waiting outside the bubble tea place i noticed a familiar-looking guy walking towards us. did he look the same as in the show? yes, but thinner and wearing better/more normal clothes. also his hair looked thicker? i can’t think of anything else to say about it – i recognized him then immediately did my best to not look at him as he walked by because i didn’t want to stare or be a weirdo.
