Current Mood: Happy

I love long weekends. We don’t get enough of them in the year. This long weekend also happened to be over Valentin’s Day.

Friday night was pretty chill. Brandon’s roommate made enchiladas so we ate, drank, watched movies, then crashed.

Saturday Brandon went surfing and I took some pretty lousy pictures. I think I was messing with some HDR stuff earlier and I think I messed up my white balance. That’s totally fixable in post but the shots themselves weren’t anything worth mentioning unfortunately anyways. Later we went and saw The Wolfman. I personally didn’t care for it but Brandon liked it. I prefer more stylized werewolfs like in Underworld or Twilight: New Moon. We’ve been having bad luck seeing good movies lately!

Sunday we decided to head up to Santa Barbara on a whim. We drove up the coast and stopped a few times along the way to check out waves and such.

In front of a biker type hangout. LOUD!!!

You know, I got that awesome Samsung camera that has a display on the front so you can take pictures of yourself easier. It proved difficult tho when you bf towers over you. I wouldn’t change that for the world tho.

I like this picture a lot. Except for the bird shit all over the rock!

It was an awesome but long drive. We left about 11am and got there around 7pm. Unfortunately there was some sort of convention there and that topped with it being Valentine’s Day made it impossible to find a room there. So we ended up grabbing a nice dinner and head back south a bit so find a place to stay.

Sunday we headed back and decided to take the freeway for a shorter trip. So much driving is TIRING and our butts were numb from sitting! We took a small detour though and drove around Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Definitely glad I don’t live there. It looks miserable and not worth the money.

San Diego is the best!

Surprisingly I didn’t completely blow it in the food department. It wasn’t the healthiest by any means but when I tallied up the numbers this morning I stopped feeling so guilty. So the weekly health and fitness recap looks like:

I didn’t get as much workout in as I would have liked but between feeling like shit Thursday and a long weekend where we were out of town for two days I’m happy.

No workout Monday either obviously so I’ll try and make that up the rest of the week and I’m sure this weekend we’ll so something active. I bought a Camelbak and I’m really excited to use it! I got it for $40 at Sport Chalet since it was the 2009 model. Can’t beat that!

Awesomest Valentine’s Day weekend ever.

Time to work I guess.
