So about two months ago I blogged about getting a reservation at the infamous French Laundry and how excited I was about the whole thing. I have never personally been to Napa Valley but now that I appreciate wine and good food, it's gained a lot more appeal. Yesterday (Sunday) was the culmination of all the planning and anticipation.

I am happy with the classes that I enrolled in though I wish I'd enrolled in four. My orientation counselor strongly advised against it and had me enroll in only three. They are American Diplomatic History, Diplomacy and War, and Political Communications. The last one seems the most interesting to me and I might look further into the prospect of double majoring in Communications at the end of the quarter (since I can't double major in Media Art ). I really like the professors as well.

I learned recently that the UCLA Alumni Association a wealth group of alumni is paying students to rat on their professors if they express radical views.

Yesterday I drove up to Studio City to be filmed in one of Phil Angelides' campaign commercials. In case you don't know, he's running for governor to replace the Governator this year. I hope you guys look into him and vote accordingly. You can only see me for a second in the commerical but it was worth the free lunch. The house that it was filmed in belongs to the director and it was a pretty awesome house. It's the kind of house that's not too fancy or large but is well-designed enough to impress all of us. I can imagine owning a house like that someday. I also got to meet a few interesting people. One of them works for John Kerry right now; yup folks, he's still alive (politically speaking).

Robert will not be moving to Cupertino because the office staff at the apartment he applied to were mindless dicks.

If you do not know where your nearest polling place is, this website will find it for you.

Godspeed Democrats, godspeed.
