I’m in L.A.!

It feels weird to be watching the Oscars at 5:30pm, but that’s what I’m doing, in a Hampton Inn in Arcadia. My plane landed at 9:30AM Pacific and so far I’ve eaten my body weight in INTENSELY GOOD dim sum (dim sum so good, we waited 45 minutes for a table.) and toured Huntington Gardens. I saw a bunch of famous paintings I didn’t understand and wished my mother was with me to yak at me about the beautiful flowers I don’t fully appreciate. In an hour or so it’s Chinese Food Part Deux as Yao’s mom’s classmate takes us out to eat Xiaolongbao.

Tomorrow is The Price is Right. Everyone cross your fingers that I get on TV, don’t look too much fatter on TV, don’t make a fool out of myself on TV, and win some fucking money.
