santa cruz

Back to reality… Boo.

Had a nice little trip to Santa Cruz for the weekend. Rob and I went to the Boardwalk on Saturday… thankfully it didn’t rain! SCORE. It was pretty cheesy but we had a good time on the rides and eating junk (ie. corn dogs and funnel cake, YUM). Then on our way back home this morning we stopped by UC Santa Cruz to check out the campus (we’re sadly obsessed with visiting colleges). Wow, it is HUGE… and really spread out. I guess I’m just used to CAL, where everything is concentrated in a walkable area. Anyway, since it was Easter, nothing was open but it’s definitely a pretty campus. I love how it’s set on a hill overlooking what I think is Monterey Bay. PRETTY!

Anyway, I can eat candy and cookies now! YES. I don’t think I ever mentioned it here but I gave up candy and cookies for Lent. 40 days! I didn’t think I could do it but it was actually pretty easy. I wasn’t craving anything after the first week. Too bad that won’t stop me from having some candy tomorrow. 😀 But maybe I won’t be so greedy from now on.

I caught the premiere of What About Brian tonight. I liked it but I didn’t. It’s not the most original show and I didn’t really find any of the characters sympathetic at all (even Brian) but there was just something about it that felt real. Plus, Amy Jo Johnson yelling “I’m getting a restraining order!” was pretty awesome. BWAH. Why does she always get stuck playing characters that grate? Sarah Lancaster’s also on this show so let’s hope that means she is staying far, FAR away from Everwood. I’ll probably check out the next few episodes to see how it goes.

I totally want to see Stick It and American Dreamz. DON’T JUDGE ME. 😛

  1. I agree Kel – I watched What About Brian and liked it, but there was something off about it. Wasn’t Amy Jo Johnson a Power Ranger?? The yellow one I think. haha
    I also want to see Stick It – love the preview when the girl says it’s not called gym-nice-tics. LOL!

  2. Glad you had fun on your mini vacation, and wow, congrats on staying successful for Lent. I didn’t go to any fast food joints but I did go out to regular restaurants so I’m not sure if my Lent abstinence was a success or not.
