In a strange turn of events, I was convinced by Justine to study at a coffee shop not named Calle Vista Coffee this weekend. And, though I was skeptical at first, I quickly warmed up to their free wireless internet and quality if pricey food. As if the day could not get any better, out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a brawny, bulging man with finely sculpted pectoral muscles, biceps the size of bowling balls, and daggers for eyes. It immediately became clear that I was looking at myself in a large mirror across the way, and it was at that instant, that out of the corner of my other eye I spotted different familiar face…
Could this be my first celebrity sighting without celebrity-magnet, Ashwini S.? Indeed, walking directly behind us was Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Shriver, their entire family, and of course a half-dozen body guards. The irony here being that the body guards were significantly smaller and less intimidating than Arnold himself. For the record, Maria looks even more unhealthy in person and eerily similar to Skeletor, and therefore was considered far more intimidating than either the body guards or Arnold.
I was lucky get two quick photos of the Governator and his family eating their Sunday brunch and then escape out the backdoor to celebrate my snapshots (pix message them to everyone with a pulse). The same cannot be said for Justine, who was stopped by Arnold’s body guards after she made direct eye contact with the Governator himself. Last I saw, she appeared to be engaged in some kind of mortal combat with Arnold, though this quickly came to end when he broke a chair over her head and yelled at the top of his lungs, “Who is ya daddy, and what he does do?!”
Justine will be missed…particularly because we are supposed to give a conjoint presentation on Tuesday, and she has the proposal on her computer.
