So they're shooting an episode of 24 on campus -- given the date, I'd guess it was the premiere. Which is cool. Limos and cop cars and motorcycles parked on Trousdale (the big pedestrian thoroughfare of USC) -- so when you see the press chasing the President up to the door of a large brick building, know that that was the same building where I saw Margaret Cho a few years back.
To my credit, I guessed that something was going on about half a mile away, when I saw the black Mercedes SUV parked next to a fountain. You know anyone who drives a black Mercedes SUV? Because I only know of them. And they work in a town with nine letters in the name.
I need tea and to get to work. Bookslut chat tonight! And tomorrow, reunion!
