Santa Cruz Wrap-up

BlogBlogBlog….

Hi people, I’m back Bloggier than ever. Santa Cruz was great. A really nice time to get away. And we were with some very fun friends, so everything went smoothly. I’m not going to go into super crazy detail or anything, but there were a few things that I must mention.It was a very active vacation. I went running three times, and one of them was very intense, for like almost an hour along the seawall up on a cliff. I also went rollerblading three times, and for the most part learned to stop myself. I say for the most part because I tried to blade around town yesterday when we got home, and seriously almost died like a million times… But that said, I definitely got better at blading and have really started to break in the blades. Also, I played Ultimate Frisbee with a bunch of people on the beach. I know that might not sound like much, but trust me, it was a lot for me :)

Aside from all that active goodness, I spent time hanging out at the beach, lazing around the house, watched a very bad movie called London which you can read about on my Flixter page, spent time in the hot tub, read a very fun trade paperback called Superman: Our Worlds at War, and another comic, a great French noir crime story called Blacksad. Maybe I’ll review those on the blog here. We also, had a very fun bonfire on the beach, and watched some small fireworks. Oh and there wasa bit of drinking involved too. Finally though, and really most importantly I spent some great time hanging out with friends. We’re kind of a weird mish mash of international people, and we have our foibles, but ultimately I’ve got a pretty great group of people around. Most especially my girlfriend.

Ok, enough sappiness, Santa Cruz is a beautiful holiday beach town. If you haven’t been there and you get the chance go check it out, I wouldn’t want to live there or anything but it was totally a good place for a vacation. And renting a nice big house was definitely the way to go. Around this you'll see some pics from the trip, it really was a great time. Oh and with that one beach shot below, no, we weren’t in the middle of all that craziness, out beach wasn’t nearly as crowded. Definitely a fun time all around.

SC update

just a quick update from the wonderful world od Santa Cruz. I hope everyone had (is having) a great Americanada Day! I'm totally "livin' it up" down here. Been hanging at the beach. chilling at the super swanky pad and generally enjoying the heck out of a great vacation. We supposedly had internet access here at the house the entire time, but really it only just started working properly today, so I thought I'd send a quick shout out down the cyber-pipeline.

I've been out running every day with Erica, and our friend Olivia. Today we went for an amazing (and long) run along the cliff up just past the fameous Boardwalk with the big old wooden roller coaster. The cliff was beautiful, and although there wasn't much of a break there were a lot of surfers out hanging in the water. The run was with Daniel who'se pic can be seen below as our Sailing buddy. It was nice to finally find an athletic activity that I could do alongside Daniel and actually keep pace :)

I've also been out roller blading very day! which is great cause I'm finally getting a pace, and I actually managed to teach myself to stop properly today; so at least I know that I'm not going to die out there on the street anymore.

Shit I've gotta run. Beer run to be precise. Hasta la vista kids. See you on the flipside (ie tomorrow) .Lates.

I'm so excited


Hooray! its like 4:05pm Friday afternoon. The weekend is almost upon us, and I am totally stoked. I, along with a whole mess of other people are heading down to Santa Cruz for the long weekend... Actually it's not technically a long weekend. My work isn't giving Monday off, but screw that, I'm taking it off and giving myself a nice loooong weekend.

Beachfront property, really big house, hottub, BBQ, like 10 friends, just kickin it in the sun.... I'm very very happy to be getting the heck outta Dodge this weekend. And then back agian for the 4th and maybe check out some fireworks. Yay!

Last night I recorded another cool episode on On Hold... with Devon. Check it out if you get a chance. Other than that, I'll see you all next week.
