Dodger Stadium
Went to Dodger Stadium last night more to just have something to do, but I was really impressed. I'm amazed that it's almost 50 years old. It's built on a hill overlooking downtown Los Angeles, and I've never been impressed with it from what I've seen on TV, but it's not like any other stadium that I've been to. It's built into a hill, so you can walk in directly from the parking lot into the upper deck. Here are a few pictures:

- Random Hollywood-like sign in the hills outside the stadium:

Good bye Sunset Strip...hello Miracle Mile


The move went into the wee hours of the morning, but it was successful. It's a brand new apartment building and we learned a few things. Specifically, we learned about the plumbing and how when using the shower, it floods the Subway (sandwich shop) on the street level. To the left is the houseparty we were leaving. Although we'll still go there to party, I'm glad we're not living there anymore. Below is a picture of the new place, complete with a "Miracle Mile" sign in the front. The Green Building in the back is where I live. I'm not sure where the Miracle Mile got it's name - is it a mile full of miracles, or is it a miracle that is a mile long?

Employee of the Month
I'm not sure what is wrong with this picture, but it's me working the jack hammer. This isn't part of my responsibilities, but I went out on the site to pose for this picture. All of the day-laborers that we hired got a kick out of it and I got this picture.

It's been nearly two years, but I am forced to endure a post-football-loss week after the Horns lost to the Buckeyes yesterday. I thought it was going to be a better game than it was, but it looks like our offense has some developing to do. Also, Tarell Brown was sorely missed in the defensive backfield, but he definitely should not have played with his off-field activities. After watching the game, Jerry and I walk over to a house party with our UT gear still on. I end up breaking down my analysis of the game with everyone's favorite house guest, Kato Kaelin. I have no clue it's him until I'm told after our conversation. Other celeb sighting: David Spade.

September 3, 2006: I finally meet my first celebrity. Mark it down. Last night/day, I went to a pool party and was hanging out next to the pool only to have some goofball doing cannon-balls and getting everybody wet. I turn around to find out that the culprit was none other than Steve Urkel (Jaleel White). I think this is a funny first celebrity to have seen. The whole time, I was hoping for a glimpse of a Jessica Simpson or Paris Hilton-type. Instead, I get Urkel. Doing cannon-balls.
