Malibu Fire
It's been surreal to see all those buildings and hills in Malibu that I drive by every weekend going up in flame on TV. The shop I work in Malibu's okay, but the surrounding area's charred pretty bad. It seems like San Diego has it much worse. And they say it's just the beginning of the season...

botox
I was on the set of a commercial shoot today and I began talking to my fictional female companion. We had some time to kill while the crew was setting up the camera. We started talking Hollywood gossip and the issue of facelift/botox came up. She not only knew all about who had work done in Hollywood, but also spoke about botox as if she were an expert. After a bit of denial, she confessed that she's been getting botox, filler and some other treatments for six years. I have to say, her doctor did a good job. Her face wasn't so obviously fixed like the faces of some other aging actresses with OCD. By the end of the shoot, she convinced another actress on the set to try out her doctor. Hollywood: We are creating a wrinkle-free society one injection at a time. I am starting to love this town for what it is.

Short actors
I was on the set of Criminal Minds as a background actor. I got to wear a gun, badge and ill-fitting suit...usual law enforcement outfit. I recognized the main actors but couldn't name them. Anyway it still surprises me to see how short these actors are when you see them in person. They are not just a little shorter than you think, they are tiny. I'd look like a giant on TV.

House M.D.
House M.D. is on tonight. I discovered this show two weeks ago while I was suffering from back pain and now I'm totally hooked. I don't watch much TV, but this show...brilliant! I've been catching up on season 1 and 2 non-stop. Hugh Laurie is my new acting idol. I must find out how to get on this show. I haven't been so hooked on a TV show since Twin Peaks!
