whoah!
our time in LA is almost over, we're heading for canada tomorrow morning.
i so had to skip dinner tonight to spend some quality time with my laptop. i'm gonna have to leave it with johannes when i go home, that means three weeks without.
oh my god, LA has been such an exciting and exhausting and mindboggling time, all at once. it was pretty much work-to-party-to-networking-hopping all the time. i didn't even have time to shop, so i only managed to spend a lousy 100 bucks on clothes in 2 weeks! can you believe it? well, and half of it i only spent today (quality time at the mall, had to skip the special caltech tour for that).
it's kinda weird how so many movies are set in LA, i never even realised. but on friday we went to see the new romero. or rather, all the others went. i pledged for an alternative as soon as i learned that zombies were involved, and got to see bewitched. and all these 'from above'-shots looked so familiar all of a sudden, as if i had just passed by all these streets and places. the film is not too compelling, though. this ferrell guy is just so not my idea of a hunk.
on saturday we had dinner with the actual real winner of our illegal space race and then we went bowling with him. very lebowski.



we managed to go on a hollywood starhomes and trolleys tour on sunday





and after that attended caryn's birthday party. well, i don't know about caryn and sean, but their dogs (lebowski and quint) seemed to love me.



we presented caryn with the planets of the inner solar system - in the form of a bouquet - for her birthday.
i already miss this extraordinary city and all you people.
i hope i can come back really soon.
