It's always 72* in San Diego

I'm in San Diego for a convention where I am working in the Google booth. It's really quite amazing how hard it is to stand around and talk to people for 5 hours. Although in my defense, the Google booth is so popular that we are harangued by mobs of visitors all day long. Luckily the weather is great, and I have been able to enjoy a few free hours here and there around town. Last night I had dinner in the Gaslamp district and today I hit up a beach in La Jolla. It was possibly my shortest beach visit ever though - the tide was really high, and only a few minutes after I had set down my towel, a big wave came right up to the edge of it. I was already up against the cliffs, so I couldn't go any further from the water. Time to pack it up and head back to the hotel where I plan to go swimming in the pool and lay on a deck chair like a civilized person. Take that, ocean!

BTW, I saw more celebrities when I was in LA this weekend than any other time I've been there. (And I've been there a lot.) Apparently, they all come out in droves during the 4th of July weekend. Saw Meg Ryan and her baby at Fred Segal in Santa Monica, and saw Michael Vartan at the swanky pool bar at the Mondrian hotel in Hollywood. Nice! Both of them were incredibly skinny, so Michael V. definitely violated the "little man" rule (if he can fit into my pants, he can't get into my pants - btw, thanks to Jessica for introducing me to this which is now one of my most favorite sayings).

Also, some of the girls that I was with made us eat lunch at the Ivy, which in my opinion was the most boring and overrated place ever. Plus I felt like a total tool waiting out front for our table. And who in their right mind pays $23 for a burger? It better be made with lettuce hand-picked by Brad Pitt himself for that price.

Anyway, I do have a soft spot for beach towns, so I have to admit that I'm enjoying myself this week, even if it is in SoCal. Now the only thing I need to make this vacation complete is to bump into George Clooney and have him fall madly in love with me and live together forever and make lots of little Clooney babies. Which could totally happen, just you wait.
