Things I Did

• Watched two episodes of Kitchen Nightmares in a row last night. Makes me never want to eat in a restaurant ever again. Unless I inspect the kitchen personally before being seated.... And have you seen Little Gordon Ramsey? Hilarious.

• Went to The Getty Center with Jake. My favorite piece there has always been James Ensor's Christ's Entry into Brussels in 1889. It's a huge bitch. (Do you think any art critic has ever described a piece as being "a huge bitch?")

• Met a casting director at a party.

PRINCE: I'm not an actor, but, if I were, what kind of roles would you cast me in?

CASTING DIRECTOR (in an English accent): Oh, you know, you're sort of the quirky guy. Sort of a Zach Braff type. Good personality.

At which point I wanted to give him a hug, but that would've been awkward.

• Acted in a staged reading of Qui Nguyen's Fight Girl Battle World for Lodestone Theatre Ensemble. The play is "geek theater," originating from Vampire Cowboys in New York, and I played a robot playwright.... Hey, wait a minute, was there a particular reason I was cast?

• Diablo Cody made me a smoothie in her Magic Bullet Blender. Now that doesn't happen every day.
