(*la) LA LA LA LA land

lela scored us $100 tickets to opening night of the LA film festival. we saw talk to me after a somewhat lengthy introduction of thank-yous from the film festival people, the director, and the cast. yes, cedric the entertainer was wearing a hat. we then went across the street to an exclusive street party with all the people who want to be seen and who want to meet all the other people who are being seen. we did our best not to be seen, and we danced with the people who didn't care. we did, however, confirm that cuba gooding jr is even better looking in person than he is in his films. lela handed Chiwetel Ejiofor, the dreamy star of the film, a bottle of water when he appeared too swamped to be able to get water for himself. he thanked her very sweetly and drank thirstily.
