catch up

ok, this might be a long blog but also a fun-filled, super action-packed catch up blog because ive been slacking. Sorry.
So that day I did laundry, we decided to drive down to Santa Monica. So after Laundry, mine and Kristas friend from Emerson, Hadley, came and picked us up in his swave convertable and we headed down the 101. Let me tell you something about sitting in the back of a convertable on the highway, its less fun than the WB makes it look. The wind is moving your hair around so fast that your only choice is to let it have its way with you. There is no point in trying to tuck it behind your ears, it will just whip around and smaak you again in protest. So when we got to Santa Monica, you can assume i was relieved. Santa Monica is beautiful and the smog makes the sunset just unforgetable. Unfortunately i did not get too many pictures, but its ok because this was an amazing day for various other reasons.
I have been spending time at the Oakwoods with krista which is awesome and gives me a chance to get out of the house. Saturday, Hadley picked us up with the intent to hike around the Hollywood sign, see, I needed to break in my new hiking boots, however, a better way to break them in would be to stay in the car and drive around the hills looking at all the amazing houses, right. So thats what we did. We eventaully got out of the car, but there was no "hike" involved. That night was the best, I found out that Pirates Of the Caribbean was playing at the El Capitan theater on Hollywood Blvd. Obviously we had to go, hello, Pirates. For those of you who dont know, im a little obsessed. ha..right.
Sunday, while it was blizzarding on the east coast, I went to Venice Beach. Beautiful beautiful, smoggy, foggy, smokey Venice Beach. Once again i hopped into the back of Hadleys car and held on for dear life. When we got there, there was this wierd haze over the whole beach that kind of gave it a ghostly aura. nonetheless, we walked around all the little shops, i got some great pictures and we had a good lunch. They dropped me back at bens just intime for me to catch the predictable win for the patriots. go pats. again.
Thanks for reading, i promise they wont be this long in the future. Check out my pictures and tell me what you think.
