So we continue to geek out about Do Not Disturb signs (as well as in-room coffee makers) and today we thought we'd show you this cute little DND sign from The Hotel Oceana in Santa Monica. No, it's not real lambswool but it is soft to touch. So you can totally forgive us for swiping this from the hotel, can't you?

We arrived at The Penthouse atop the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Huntley+Santa+Monica+Beach/ian/123107">Huntley Hotel</a> in Santa Monica only to find a filming crew had set up in the back of the restaurant, near the choicest of choice views.

Loved you <a href="http://jezebel.com/5086492/oprah-jennifer-aniston-explains-why-angelina-is-uncool">on Oprah</a> last week. And you know what? You're right: what Angelina did was very uncool, but it was also rather unfortunate that Vogue pulled that little tidbit from your interview and used it as your cover line on the front of the December issue, dontchya think? Yikes. Guess they didn't clear that one with your people first, huh? Anyway, we're not here to talk to you about that nor are we here to point out that your lovah John Mayer is starting to look a wee bit Marc Anthony-esque (if this <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20241072,00.html">photo</a> on People.com is to be believed) but rather, your choice of hotels

Rooms that are <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/8/6/16029/62417/hotels/Inside_the_Oceana_Santa_Monica_Hotel">normally</a> $555 and up are starting at $355 and the Deluxe Signature Ocean View Suite which normally runs at $995 is only $505.
