My Week in Pictures... L.A. Version

I'm in Los Angeles for work this week. Here's what my week in pictures looks like:



You can't go to L.A. without seeing Universal Studios, right? I think you get fined if you try...



Cynthia Hand (author of the Unearthly Series), me, Jodi Meadows (author of the Incarnate Series).
We wore our hair in pigtails so we could find each other easily.

 We met lots of crazy characters...



like Shrek and Fiona...



Why is Fiona so mad? 

 And the Scooby Gang...



Did you notice that Daphne tried to put her hair in pigtails too?


And Curious George...


Curious George was a little too curious about my pigtails. He kept pulling on one of them, and then he'd shrug innocently as if to say, "Hey! I'm a monkey!" Like that excuses it...

 And a random set of Asian brothers... 



Spotted them sitting in the middle of the cafeteria, blending in with everyone...

 To cap off the day, I ate my weight in cotton candy. And that, let me tell you, is a lot of cotton candy. 



Objects in picture are much larger than they appear... Except my cheeks. Those are about spot on.

 The next day, we spoke to a novel-writing class at Pepperdine University, whose campus is so beautiful it should be illegal. I'm not jealous. 



The three of us with with the ugly coastline and mediocre deep blue sea in the background. Gross. 


Then we had lunch at a place in Malibu by the ocean...



How come everything in California is by the ocean? Don't they care that they're making the rest of us insanely jealous? I hate every person in this picture.



By which point, hubs accused me of playing and not working. So, just to appease him, I got to work. 



I always carry my purse while jackhammering...





That pothole on Generic Street in Manhattan is now fixed. 



You're welcome, New York. 



By the way, I'll be appearing at the Barnes and Noble in Westlake tomorrow night at 7pm with Cynthia Hand and Jodi Meadows.



And then on Saturday, we will be at Books Inc. in Mountain View California at 5:00 pm. 



Anyone in the L.A. or San Fran areas? Come out and say hi. 



So... what are y'all up to? Anyone jackhammer a pothole lately?
