It’s official. Josh will probably never ever be able to learn how to speak Cambodian. I can’t even speak it that well, so I won’t hold it against him. It would be cool if he was able to speak to my grandma and some of my relatives, but I have to admit the language is difficult and I have yet to learn how to read it. I am impressed that Greg has learned how to speak some Farsi. It will be fun to hear him speak it at his wedding this summer. Eek, I can’t believe that his wedding is coming up so soon!

I am still stoked that I saw Eddie Izzard last night. I was tempted to stick around and talk to him, but there was a small crowd forming around him and listening to him talk. I am sure he didn’t want to be bothered because I think that he was waiting for Dylan Moran to come out and they were probably going to go drinking or something. He cracks me up so much, he’s just brilliant.

Had dinner with Nate, Josh and Lisa tonight at El Torito Grill. The food was yummy and they have the best guacamole. It’s Tex/Mex style and it’s not that bad, but I love authentic Mexican food so much better. As we were walking out, I see a flash from a camera across the street. Then I see a few guys running around with huge cameras and taking pictures of a couple walking down the street. Ah, paparazzi. What a way to make a living. We were trying to figure out who the couple was, but they were walking away from us and they were pretty far away. All I can see is that the girl was blonde and the guy was dressed weirdly, which describes almost all of the celebrity couples. So yeah, I have no clue as to who they were, but they were being followed closely. I wouldn’t be able to handle that if I were famous. Then again, if I were famous, I wouldn’t go to a place like Mr. Chow, where the paparazzi are almost guaranteed to be hanging around.

I am getting tired easily and I am slowly starting to doze off. I am excited about this weekend though. I made plans with some friends that I haven’t seen in a while and I am definitely looking forward to relaxing and hanging out. I think I need a real vacation soon. And it's Cambodian New Year and the thought of it makes me miss Cambodian food.
