All day I’ve been trying to think of an angle for a quick post on the news that actor Kal Penn (The Namesake, Harold & Kumar) is leaving Hollywood in favor of D.C. and a job inside the White House Office of Public Liaison. We could speculate where he should probably live (Dupont seems the most likely candidate, close enough to walk to work but still young and fun and overpriced), or something like that. But frankly, I’ve been too pissed that I managed to absolutely ruin the episode of House that’s still sitting on my TiVo by skimming the comments in this Lynn Sweet blog post (EW.com was the first to report the news). I’m always happy to welcome another L.A. transplant to town, but Penn couldn’t have waited a couple days to announce this one? Gah. He’s lucky we went to the same college, so I can’t really stay mad for long. Welcome to D.C., Kal. If you’re anything like me, you’re not going to miss Los Angeles for a second.
