3 things:

so what'd you give up for lent? even though i haven't regularly attended mass since i was 13, i still like to participate in catholic "traditions." although i do eat meat on fridays (not on purpose, i just don't NOT eat meat on friday, if you know what i mean), i like to give something up on lent, just because. the difficult thing about my "sacrifice" this year is that my eating habits have really changed. i could give up chocolate, but all my supplement bars and shakes are only good with chocolate. and other than that, i really don't eat chocolate anymore. i would give up ice cream, or french fries, or nachos, but again, i don't really eat much of that stuff anymore. i don't drink soda, or coffee, or even alcohol, i only drink water really. i could give up other things, non-food related, but i can't think of anything (common ones are swearing, talking back to your parents, sex...?). well, it's already the day after ash wednesday, so i suppose it's really too late for me to be thinking about this. oh well.

big wave surfers are a-buzz, with very large swells expected tomorrow at mavericks. i've never actually been, even though it's just 10 minutes from the hotel. you can actually see it from the hotel, with binoculars. it's a bit of a hike from PCH, but it's supposed to be worth it. if it weren't for having to be at work, i would totally check it out. those guys (and girls?) are crazy if you ask me, but their insanity makes for a great show! i've actually met the guy who claims to have discovered it, and named it mavericks, after his dog. he works at the HMB brewery. i think he might even own the place...

is it me or is rosie o'donnell looking more and more *manly* since she publicly came out? hmm.
