Today was a gloomy day in California as storms roll into the area brining the winter rain.

I took Heather to the airport this morning and security is tight. No-one is allowed past the ticket counter unless you have a boarding pass. There are several checkpoints inside the terminal and random searches being conducted. Heather said they make you take off your shoes and thoroughly go through your carry-ons. Baggage check now has heavy duty x-ray scanners and security personnel who go through “suspiscious” bags. The whole process takes awhile. Heather has had a hard time getting to her destination. She has had three different delays and the airline has also lost her baggage. I really hope they find it.

Traveling over the Holidays should be interesting…

Acting class was interesting as usual as we gained more insight into human behaviour, emotions and portraying realistic characters in a scene. After class I ran into a small group of paparazzi who were carrying cameras with zoom lenses frantically trying to shoot pictures of someone in a sunglasses store. One of my fellow classmates asked one of the photographers whom they were looking at - “Thalia. The Spanish pop princess.” was all he blurted as he scurried into another location to try to get a better photo op. A few moments later a very large bodygaurd came out of the store and started yelling at people to “Back the FUCK UP!!!”. He even yelled at random people who just happened to be walking by. That was completely unnecessary. Thalia is not that big of a deal. It’s not like a ton of people were trying to run up and swarm her. Anyway, she hopped into a white Range Rover and the whole scene ended.

I received a new $20 bill today. Cool. That’s all I have to say about that….

Tonight we completed the second performance of “Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Asian Men.” We had a group of 70 people show up! What a great turn-out! The show went very well and now we have one performance left!!!
