I am really on a roll today. Anyway, Brad and Angelina obviously just had a baby, which still seems like the craziest turn of events in the world to me. I have no idea why, it just is somehow shocking. Read this funny post on the Superficial about it:

I think the DNA of hotness that went into creating this baby is going to result in some sort of massive cosmic joke and the child will grow up to be much less attractive than average. It sort of has to happen. Not to mention, what kind of crazy childhood do you think Bragelina will provide? I'm sure they are both lovely people, but I think I would rather be Madonna's kid. Although Michael Jackson's kids are probably quite jealous of Shiloh.

More on the topic of celebrities. One of my favorite celebrity sightings was when I walked out of "Old School" with my friend Heather and we were discussing whether Vince Vaughn was cute or not. She loves him completely, I was neutral. She had just said "you know, he's incredibly tall" and then we saw him, in the movie theater, presumably either about to go watch his own movie, or just walking out of it. He was incredibly tall, and extremely attractive. Much more attractive than I had thought he would be. I had to concur with Heather that yes, he is good. I have been a big fan of his ever since.

I just moved to Los Angeles. Which kicks NYC's ass completely. Now while I search for a job I get to spend time driving around in my rented convertible by the beach. In NYC I just spent a lot of money on nothing while doing my half assed job searching.

I still am of the opinion that essentially the same people live in both places. I probably have a completely skewed idea about NYC people though, because everyone I am friends with there (at least pre-school) worked in entertainment or was an artist. So far that's essentially who lives in LA too. And I am hoping that a lot of my NYC friends move here. I think they actually will, so it's not an idle hope.

I'm curious about celebrity sightings here, because it's so much less compact than NYC so the celebrities are not roaming free quite as much. On the other hand, there are probably more of them here than in NYC on any given day. I have seen three celebrities in LA since I first started coming here all the time. The first one was Cuba Gooding Jr at the W bar in Westwood. Sort of exciting I guess. The second one was thrilling beyond belief, because it was Benjamin Mackenzie at a Starbucks in Santa Monica. He was a little short, but besides that totally cute. I'm not completely positive it was him though. He had no entourage whatsoever, which is somewhat atypical. I have almost never seen a celebrity just walking around alone. In NYC sometimes, if you catch them basically on the block they live on just getting a coffee or something (I was pretty excited to see Molly Ringwald in that exact situation). Usually celebrities are surrounded by a group of absolutely the most boring or lame looking people ever. And you wonder why would a celebrity choose such bad friends? But then again, cool people probably prefer not to hang out with celebrities. I'm embarrassed if I even notice them. But that's a NYC thing I think. Anyway, my third celebrity sighting was this morning and it was Chad Lowe in Santa Monica. I've seen him about five million times though, so it wasn't super exciting, only exciting in the sense that I had sort of forgotten that this was a celebrity sighting locale because I hardly ever see them. Oh, I did see one of the Beastie Boys at Fred 70 or whatever that place is in Los Feliz. But again, those Boys are all over NYC all the time, so not exciting. The last time I saw Chad Lowe was an extended viewing because we were at the same event and Hilary Swank was with him, so it was a little more exciting. He's interesting though, because he's one of the few celebrities who actually looks exactly like himself. There's no "oh, I thought he'd be cuter/uglier, taller/shorter" he looks exactly as you would expect.

I graduated. And now I have time to obsess about TV once again. Yay. I was just reading the Television without pity round up of the last OC episode, which I misssed, sadly. The OC has really deteriorated badly. Seth and Summer are the last residual of goodness left, but this season even they have been tedious and horrible. Seth's whole lying and pot smoking thing is not charming. Summer is still great, but it's tough for her to carry the acting for everyone in every episode. I hope Rachel Bilson gets some good projects after this. She deserves it far more than Mischa Barton. I dislike Kaitlin immensely and have no interest in her storylines at all. I'm sure next season will be the last for the OC, but it does sadden me that it will go out on such a low note. This is kind of a funny article about how Mischa Barton is glad she was killed off: http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory?id=1992388
