How dumb am I??

molly_oSo Mark and I drove to LA this afternoon. We went to the Museum of Jurassic Technology (which was cool but gave me a headache, trying to peer at things through the dim light), and then we went over to the LaBrea tar pits. For some reason I think these are really, really cool, although I am quite cynical about the sculpture. (There's an adult female mammoth sinking into the tarpit, and on the adjacent grass there's a baby mammoth and a male adult mammoth, and the information placard explains that the mother mammoth is sinking while the child and father look on in horror. Anthropomorphizing much?)
*Then*, as CGU has never been to LA before, I thought we should go by the Chinese theater and check out the footprints and things. Only we were having a hard time getting there -- streets were blocked off, and we were trying to improvise an alternate route -- and suddenly CGU said, "We're never going to get there tonight!" And I'm all *why*??, completely mystified. And he's like, the Oscars, doofus.
Oh, right. The **Oscars**. So then I was all frantic that we had to abandon our plans to eat in LA and drive right back to the hotel so we could watch Chris Rock.
