John from my running group put together another great video from our City of Angels Half marathon on YouTube: City of Angels Video. He did a good job capturing the fun of doing these races.
I am realistic enough to know that I will probably never win any of these races (unless I keep running into my octogenarian years in which case I have a good chance of winning my age group ;) But coming in first isn't why I run. It is about being around supportive and encouraging people.
It was hot during last year's L.A. marathon and I had leg cramps that came and went after mile 13. The water stations had run out of water, and I desperately needed salt that was nowhere to be found. I was walking most of the time at mile 18 and just hoping that I would finish in a reasonable time. A woman from the neighborhood was standing in the middle of the street with her daughter and a plate of cookies. She saw me, smiled, and gave me a cookie. Then she said some words of encouragement that I don't really remember except that I started to cry after she said them. I was walking and crying down the street, and I remember thinking that this was one of my most amazing experiences. Almost nowhere in my life have I been at a place where thousands of people surrounded me and cheered me on and wanted me to succeed! There was no criticism of how I looked or how slow I was. Nobody was trying to push-me-down to pull themselves up. It was all about cheering and supporting everyone to the finish line. It was about humans loving and caring for each other.
This is why I love running races.

Last Saturday
With Christmas and the New Year coming and an upcoming move (to a new apartment/townhouse), my days and weekends are busy. Last Saturday I got up early to help with the Leggers waterstation. One of the people in the group, John, makes documentaries for the History Channel and he put together this video. John is great and his videos have really added a lot to our training experience this season.
On Saturday after the water station, I went shopping for Christmas gifts. At Linens and Things, Kristy McNichol got in line behind me. She actually looked her age and it made me happy. Her face has not changed that much except that she has gotten a little older (wrinkles and all of that), and her body is that of a typical healthy middle aged woman. Thank goodness there is one middle-aged actress out there who didn't get nip/tucked to oblivion! I would have taken a picture if I could have, but it's a little embarrassing for me. I don't have the guts to be paparrazzi. Plus, all I had was my cell phone and I didn't want to pay a ridiculous charge to Sprint PCS for uploading the photo from my phone.

*Star* sightings during the City of Angels Half Marathon
I ran the City of Angels Half Marathon yesterday as the group mentor/pacer for the Leggers 12 minute pace group (I'm in red):
John, the person taking the photo, had a Garmin that told us our pace by GPS measurement. It made my job a lot easier because I have this habit of zoning out and running to how I feel-- and I felt good yesterday. His digital pacer reeled me in several times, and kept me doing my job properly.
The City of Angels Half is a beautiful course. It started at Griffith Park, then ran along the L.A. River to Silverlake and past the Silverlake Reservoir, through Echo Park and along the pond there, and finally into downtown by the courthouse. I had rarely seen Los Angeles as beautiful as it was while running along this course.
While running through Silverlake, Geddes Watanabe, the actor who played the foreign exchange student in Sixteen Candles and one of the geeks in Revenge of the Nerds cheered us on from a street corner. It was a pleasant surprise to be cheered on by a recognizable movie personality.
At the race expo the day before the race, I was given a signed headshot by the guy who sold me my newspaper. It was sooooo L.A. to be given a headshot as a 'gift'. Nope, he wasn't attractive and he wasn't a recognized actor. I'm not sure why he handed me his headshot while selling me the newspaper. Maybe he thinks that I am an influential person in Hollywood with connections, and not an ordinary scientist.

While on the way to Area 51...
I saw a Ferengi in Vegas!
Actually, I was at the Star Trek Experience because my friend Michelle wanted to go, and while there I snapped a picture with an alien lifeform ;) And if you are wondering, YES, the Star Trek Experience is like going to a Star Trek convention except a lot more expensive. I don't think it is worth the money unless you are a huge Star Trek fan.

My new GPS Toy
I have been eyeing GPS systems for the past few months, but could never convince myself to spend the money on one since I have a pretty good compass in my head and rarely get lost. But I still liked looking at them because several models have a real-time traffic monitor and anybody who commutes in L.A. can appreciate this feature!
When I first moved to L.A. I subscribed to sigalert.com and would access this info from my phone. In the end, I canceled my service because I was paying a lot for cellphone internet that I rarely used and just checked the sigalert maps (free) before I left the house or work.
My sister noticed that I was eyeing GPS systems and has heard me complain about traffic a lot, so she bought me a Navigon 7100 for my Christmas/birthday present. It came in the mail yesterday and I was very surprised to get it!
I was not familiar with the Navigon since I had been eyeing Garmin Nuvi's and some TomTom systems. The Navigon 7100 is about the size of a PDA and has some nice features like FREE lifetime realtime traffic monitoring, and freeway lane recognition. The commute this morning was my first trial of the Navigon. It did a good job telling me there was an accident on the 101 and that I should take the next exit afterwards to avoid the traffic. However, it did not have information on slow/heavy traffic (just accidents) so it didn't swing me around the traffic. Instead, I drove around it myself onto side streets and this is where the Navigon did a good job and a bad job. It recognized small streets really well and had no problems telling me the shortest route (distance wise). On the other hand, it had me doing frustrating traffic things like turning left onto really busy roads and driving down roads with a lot of stoplights.
In general, I like it so far. Let's see what the evening commute is like...

Uncle Leo!
I went to a screening of 'A Mighty Heart' at the Directors Guild in Hollywood last night (my sister got the invite and took me as a guest) and the place was relatively empty since it was Halloween. But I did see one recognizable actor-- Uncle Leo from Seinfeld! His real name is Len Lesser. He looked a little more elderly than he looks on t.v., but otherwise, he's very recognizable.
The movie, BTW, was not really worth my time. I came out of it annoyed because it didn't provide me anything really educational or new-- just a barrage of moving pictures and people rushing around and yelling to induce a feeling of drama. It was disjointed (in a bad way) and I got BORED (and I like long and slow foreign films). For me it was entirely unsuccessful and felt like I was watching 2 hours of the t.v. news.
I know that Angelina Jolie is probably trying for some sort of award nomination from this movie. But I feel like the movie was just trying wayyyyyy tooooo hard and because of it I didn't feel as much of a connection to Angelina Jolie's character as I know that I could have.
On the plus side, I did see another 'celebrity' to add to my list ;)

Had another 'who?' sighting
I just had another 'who is that?' celebrity sighting while walking to Ralphs Grocery store in Westwood. I just saw Allison Mack, the actress who plays Chloe Sullivan on Smallville (WB t.v. show about Superman/Superboy). I have to admit that I didn't even know her name until I looked it up online. But I recognized the face! She is frail-like thin in real life and walked past me quickly with a stone-cold face not making eye contact with anything. Hmmm, do papparazzi or crazy fans hound her? It sure was a lot of 'don't mess with me' attitude from such a small lady. I prefer my Dave Matthews sighting a lot better-- he smiled and gave a little head nod like a normal, friendly person.

How do buddhists deal with insect infestations?
For the past few weeks we have had an ant infestation in our kitchen and in my bathroom. It started when it was ridiculously hot in L.A. and they haven't really left our apartment ever since.
I have been smashing, spraying, and drowning ants like crazy. I'm tired of it. I have been looking for more humane solutions to get rid of the ants like blocking their entrance into the apartment with baking soda and/or chili powder. One online suggestion was to place a huge dollop of sugar OUTSIDE of the apartment along their path between their ant mound and the apartment. This sounded like a good idea except we live on the top level of an apartment and I don't really have access to their path outside the building unless I take the window screen off and rappel down the side of the building-- which I might do in a week or two if they spread beyond the kitchen or bathroom.
As I was looking at the scads of ant corpses around my bathtub during my morning shower, I felt guilty for killing the ants. I wonder how buddhist monks deal with insect infestations since they are not allowed to kill other living creatures? Do they just let them swarm around their living quarters? What about disease carrying mosquitos, do they leave them alone too? Knowing buddhists, they probably do leave them alone and allow for the suffering as good for the soul.
I guess that I should be a better buddhist.

The power of the masses
I have been particularily fascinated with the search for the wealthy adventurer, Steve Fossett. For those unfamiliar with the story, Fossett was known for breaking all sorts of land and air records and has been missing since his plane took off for a routine scouting flight in the Nevada desert. Being well connected and well known, people are using the latest in technology to find him.
This reminds me of the search for Jim Gray, the former computer science professor who also worked at Microsoft Research and IBM (as well as other companies). I read about the search for him in Wired magazine. He was lost at sea at the beginning of the year and the tech world rallied around his search. The latest in communication and satellite technologies were used to find him. It appears that they are doing the same thing for Steve Fossett. In fact, we as common citizens with spare time and bandwidth can join in the search for him using software and computational power from Amazon.com (Search for Steve Fossett link).
The problem with the latest in technology is that it still hasn't gotten to the point where computers can identify objects in complex backgrounds as easily as the human eye. I guess that is the purpose for the call for help in searching for him online using human eyeballs. People all over the world can look for him without leaving their computer. That's pretty cool.
It makes me think of the problems we have with detecting cancer in patients. Many cancer diagnoses and tumor staging are still done by human eye. In this way, detecting cancer in patients using images is essentially the same problem as the search for Steve Fossett and Jim Gray. It all depends on the eyes of the doctor and/or medical technician.
Even though lots of people (including me) are working on other (biochemical) ways of detecting cancer, the human eye is still state of the art.
Update: They called off the search for Steve Fossett yesterday (Sept 20). It looks like this search has gone the same as the search for Jim Gray. One thing about these searches is that it seems like they seem to develop new tools and get them out faster with each subsequent search. Of course I hope they never have to use these tools again, but I have the feeling that they probably will, and hopefully next time we find the person quickly and in good condition.

Photo with Ed Asner!
Ed Asner was on the plane that I took from Burbank to Portland last week. I have photographic proof:
He is the person in the distance to the far right of the photo:
Apparently he flys between LA and Portland a lot because his daughter lives in Portland, and he is a member of the Oregon Film Council. I saw him when he first got on the plane, but was not sure it was him until the guy sitting next to him on the plane started blathering away. I looked over and it was definitely him. I asked Alice to take a picture, but she was too embarrassed, so I had her take the picture of me with him in the background.
"Oh Lou!!!"

I saw Homer Simpson at the Kwik E Mart
I finally got a picture with a real celebrity-- Homer Simpson from 'The Simpsons'. He was hanging around the Kwik E Mart in Burbank to promote his new upcoming movie. I snagged a couple of pictures.
BTW, those pink donuts are not as good tasting as they look.

Justin Timberlake sighting on Melrose
My sister just called and told me that she saw Justin Timberlake in the car behind her as she drove down Melrose. The car followed her a while and she looked back several times to double check that she was correct in her identification. Justin was in the passenger's side of a black BMW. No (obvious) papparazzi were following them, and my sister did not recognize the guy driving the car.

Carl Lewis again, and again
I have seen Carl Lewis twice now. The first time was at the 2006 Nike Run Hit Remix in L.A. I was a volunteer who was supposed to stand at the finish line to escort the winners to the special 'winners area', and he was at the finish line to congratulate the winners and all of that. He is one man who is as tall and big, if not bigger, than I imagined from seeing him on television. And he was flirting with the young and cute girls who were standing at the finish line (holding the finish line tape for the winners).
I saw him again at the Will Rogers 5K/10K in the Pacific Palisades on July 4th. This time I was a runner, and he was standing around taking pictures with people and being like people usually expect of a multiple olympic gold medal winner. He was cooooool.
These two sightings have given me the distinct impression that he shows up at local charity runs a lot. In a way it is cool for 'regular folk' like me to get to see Olympians like him. But in a way his regular appearances sort of dilute my enthusiasm for seeing him. I still think he is an awesome athlete, but I feel like I will probably see him a lot more if I run or hang-out at a lot more running races in Los Angeles.
I guess familiarity extinguishes the novelty. Next time I go to a race, I'll bring a camera and ask Carl Lewis for a picture.

To continue with my *star sighting* watch:
Evangelia saw Victoria Beckham (a.k.a. Posh Spice of the Spice Girls) walking outside Barney's on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills on Saturday afternoon (7-7-07).
According to Evangelia, she was surprisingly short and wore extremely high heels.
It is usually a surprise when I see celebrities in person and they are much shorter than I assumed from seeing them on television or the movies. Bill Gates is shorter than I assumed him to be. To me, he looks like he is 6 feet tall or higher. In reality he is probably closer to 5'10" (from the time he walked past my cubicle at work).
Celebrities also seem to be much thinner in person than they appear on television. I took a tour of the WB Studios and judging from the size of the costumes in the display cases, a lot of the actresses seem to be size zero minus.
Take home message: objects are actually smaller than they appear on t.v.

Celebrity sightings in everyday life
After my Steve Carell sighting last year (see previous entry), a friend of mine (in Seattle) suggested that I keep a blog of all the celebrities that I have seen.
My first question is what makes a person enough of a celebrity that I should note them in my blog? I admit that I have seen a few bona fide celebrities around town, but I live the average person's life and do not frequent celebrity hotspots, so I rarely see actual celebrities. Instead I see actors who are or had been on television or in movies. Should I judge somebody's celebrity status by the number of people who recognize the name? Almost two years ago, after I moved here to L.A., I saw Geraldo Rivera. Most people know who he is so I think that makes him a celebrity. I would say that he is a lower list celebrity because Geraldo almost ran over an old man riding a bicycle with his car. His behavior didn't make me feel warm and fuzzy about him.
I think what people really want is interesting circumstances around seeing these people. For example, my friend Randy told me his story of how Brad Pitt almost ran him over. Randy was crossing an intersection off of Sunset Blvd by the windy hilly roads when a blue Suburban was slowly navigating down the hill and had a hard time stopping at the intersection. Randy looked over at the driver as he bit into a big egg-roll and saw that it was Brad Pitt slunking down trying not to be seen. He saw Randy with the egg roll in his mouth and Randy saw Brad barely miss hitting him with his big truck. I think most celebrity sightings are about recognizable people doing everyday things like running at the park or walking their dogs. I think the reality is so much less glamorous than what people expect.
My 'biggest' and most exciting celebrity sighting was Jack Nicholson getting out of his car (black convertible) in Idylwylld, CA and walking to the Bank of America ATM. I spotted him, and Aaron suggested we go in the direction of the Bank of America because he wanted to get a better look. It sort of felt weird and stalker-ish to follow a person just to get a longer glimpse of them in everyday life. But I did it anyway ;)
People at work see lots of famous people all the time. Evangelia saw Keanu Reeves in front of the UCLA hospital a few months ago. She also saw and got pictures of Arnold Schwarzenegger in a convertible from the bus as they drove past him. Mila has seen lots of people around town--Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, Nicolette Sheridan, and Harrison Ford while getting ice cream or going out to dinner. Don't worry my dear friends, I plan on blogging about their and other friends' sightings because it would be really boring if it were just the people that I see!
Some of the celebrities that I remember having seen in the past two years:
Kyle MacLachlan (from Sex in the City)-- seen him twice! Once touring the Getty Museum, and once while waiting for a plane in Aspen (he was in line behind me)
Jack Nicholson (see above)
Dave Matthews on the sidewalk in Seattle (he said 'hi' to me about two years ago :)
Jennifer Gardner (Alias) at the theater (no Ben Affleck with her)
Laird Hamilton (super sexy surfer) along the beach with his buddies in Waikiki
Steve Carell (see previous blog)
