A.C.

So, yesterday was a pretty fun day. I visited my friend Sandra up in Glendale. We walked around the Glendale Galleria and the surrounding shops, and I even learned about a dazzling store called Ed Hardy. Too shiny for me. We also ventured into Gilly Hicks, one of A&F's cousins the skinny saleslady told us. The store's layout was gorgeous and felt like some upscale studio. There were bras and panties of every possible shade, too. Uhh.. why am I talking about this?! Moving on.. There was an old-fashioned trolley that twisted its way around the plaza, but the conductor refused us service. Haha, because the trolley was on break. Then we had crepes; I had a raspberry chicken one, and it's too bad I don't remember the name of the vendor because it was delectable.

But, I had to eat it while driving on the way to the CBS studio. There, we waited outside, sitting on benches, face-to-face with future studio audience friends. It was a re-creation of the walk-of-shame of the Rocky dining hall, with all eyes focused on you as you made your way down the aisle. After an hour?? they finally ushered us in.

So there we sat, watching a taping for MTV's Top Pop Group. The set-up was just like ABDC, except with singers and different judges. Overall, it was just all right. I don't think this show will be as huge of a sensation.

The highlight was seeing Mario Lopez, the host of the show, in person. When he's not chatting with the performers on stage, he's in different locations around the audience. Luckily, we were sitting right next to one of those platforms. He's so pretty.

We also saw Chris Elwood. We couldn't figure out who he was at the time and he was just part of the stage crew, but he looked so familiar. Sandra thought he was in Jacka**. I thought he was on Punk'd. After the show, we went up to him, and he told us that he was an actor, and that he was on the first season of Punk'd. Yay! I win! And then when I got home and looked him up, I found out that he was one of Jeff's fired assistants on Flipping Out! So that's where I've seen him too. He also looks like Josh Duhamel, so I was even more confused.

But now I have a wristband competition with Sandra that I'm going to win. The challenge is to see who can keep his/hers on the longest. I'm not going to lose!!!!
