Nov 5, 2007 at 2:33 PM I'm done with my shift. You do shifts when you picket; I had 9-1 today.
Okay, I need to share a story with you. So I met tons of people today—tons. I mentioned earlier that I befriended the Daddy Day Care guy; he was walking behind me. We had just passed a bunch of cameras, so I turned around to tell him something, only another guy had jumped in between us. I stopped what I was saying when I saw him and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else—I was just about to say something really inappropriate." He said, "Well, what better time to stand next to you then." He then he waited for me to proceed, so I did because, you know, I HAVE NO INTERNAL FILTER, so I looked at him and said, "I just adjusted my cleavage for the cameras."
Turns out he's the head writer for The Daily Show. Fabulous.
He found it amusing though, so all's good.
Nov 5, 2007 at 11:55 AM Pat O'Brien is here. Is it weird that, of all the people, he's the one that excites me most? (Mostly in a campy way.)

Nov 5, 2007 at 11:08 AM Ooh! John Leguizamo is right in front of me! I loved Moulin Rouge!
And Tony Gilroy is here. He wrote all the Bourne Identity movies and wrote and directed the great Michael Clayton. I went to a screening of it a few weeks ago and there was a Q & A with him afterwards and he's just so charming! And the movie is amazing, you must see it!
Ooh! And Peter Hedges, writer of About A Boy, Pieces Of April, Gilbert Grape, and Dan In Real Life. I love him! I love him! I have a crush on him...And my new best friend is Geoff Rodkey, the guy who wrote Daddy Day Care.
