A weekend update!
Alright, so this weekend was wonderful! We had several great experiences. The first thing we did was go to the Galleria Mall on Friday night. It's basically just a mall, but it's where they filmed a lot of movies such as Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Or at least that's what my beautiful roommate tells me. :)
Then on Saturday morning we got up, went to the grocery store. It was packed... it's always packed. And then met my friend, Zack, for a trip to the beach. Once we got to his house he drove us to El Matador. It's supposed to be a really quiet, "unknown" beach. Once we got there we realized that the secret must be out because we couldn't even find a parking spot. But it was worth it. Totally. Browse the pictures and you'll see why. :) The only down side was the sharp rocks. Lindsey slipped and cut her leg. It was pretty bad, but she's a trooper and wouldn't let us go home. So, we stayed all afternoon and saw really awesome stuff... like DOLPHINS. We saw LOTS of dolphins. They made me really happy. We always saw pelicans diving in the water, and some seagulls tried to take our chips, but I showed them who was boss.
After a long day at the beach we were all starving and tired. We didn't want to make another PB&J so we ventured across the street to The Golden Chopstick. IT WAS DELICIOUS! (and relatively inexpensive.) It's kind of my new favorite place to eat. The portions are so big that you can get two meals out of one! It's wonderful!
On Sunday we got up early again and ventured back out to the beach. This time we went to Will Rogers State Beach. It was not nearly as pretty as El Matador and we had to pay $10 to park. But it was a fun experience anyway. My favorite part was the Life Guard Stations. They are right out of a movie... and reminded me of Veronica Mars, which made me super happy.
We also ventured out to Old Navy to pick up my schedule. I met a co-worker who does post-production for Dealiest Catch. I thought that was pretty awesome. It's like everywhere you turn there is someone from "the business." You always have to be on your game.
After that we went to Trader Joes. It's the best store in the whole world. They have really great deals on all kinds of food, from fresh baked to organic. It's awesome! While we were there, Ann called. She wanted to hang out, so we invited her to come to the hotel and swim with us. We swam for awhile and then went to have dinner at THE GOLDEN CHOPSTICK. I'm telling you, it's that good. :)
Today I have pretty much done nothing. I watched a movie, played video games, browsed facebook, and repeatedly checked blackboard to see if my critique partner for Rewrite class has posted her scripts. She hasn't. I hope she does soon because I'm working tomorrow at Old Navy and our critique is due Wednesday. I guess college never really ends... even after you graduate. :)
I hope you enjoyed the update! Here's a random picture:
