The Ocean

About three weeks ago we went to Newport Beach, CA for a little mini vaca. I hadn't been to the ocean in quite a few years, so it was high time to go see it again. It of course rained all the way across California, but the time we got to the coast it was all clear. We got a room across the street from the beach and it was dark already but that didn't stop me from at least going to the beach and listening to the surf. Next morning we went straight to the beach, we had a great time collecting sea shells, i was surprised to see that there were no sand dollars anywhere. We found awhole bunch of other shells that i have no idea what i'm going to do with, but i've got about 4 baggies worth. The rest of the day we went to nearby Balboa beach, got a room in a hotel that was built in the 20's. The room was tiny, barly got the bed and a stand for TV but the location was great and it was right in the middle of all the shops and restaraunts...and of course the beach. We spent the day shopping and laying in the sand. I of course forgot to put on the sunscreen and got a small burn. The temps were still pretty cool, in the upper 60's. We had on t-shirts and shorts and everyone else was wearing sweaters and pants.
That night we had a really good dinner at a pizza/micro brewery place right next to the hotel. They had a really good berry beer and excellent pizza.
Sunday we went to Ikea in Costa Mesa. I love Ikea and miss it very much. We didn't get anything but we got some really good idea. We're going to save up some $$ and go back in June, we need a new bed and a kitchen table, plus whatever else strikes our fancy.

This week's epi was O.K. The Rose and Bernard flashback was cool, I had just assumed that they had been married for years and not coming back from their honeymoon. Loved the last flashback though were Locke helps Rose..with him obviously in a wheel chair. To think all this time she's known and not told him.
Locke is losing faith in his Hatch. The smile that Henry had when locke was pounding on the door was really creepy.
Michael is back!! Although now I'm wondering if maybe this is a set up by the others. Maybe they are making him go to the camp and rally the troops for war..maybe they will do something to Walt if he doesn't. I can't trust anything in this show anymore. I get an idea on what I think is going on..and I end up being wrong. Maybe Michael is telling the truth..the others are outnumbered with little weapons. But I somehow doubt that...

In other news.. this weekend we're escaping Vegas and heading to the Ocean! I guess it will only take 4-5 hours to get there so we're leaving Friday early afternoon. We're dropping Simon off at the kitty hotel and we're going to soak in some rays. Have a good weekend!!

Hmm sorry, I blanked out about writing yesterday. We have really spotty internet connection at home, so that is why I have not been writing all that much.

This was a good Hurley episode, so we finally know why he was in the psych ward. He blames himself for the death of two people and he has an imaginary friend that now on the island. Hurley taking down Saywer was probably the funniest thing I'd seen in awhile. Sawyer very much so deserved that.
"Henry" finally admitted to being an other...I wonder how much longer he'll be alive.
Libby being in the same ward as Hurley at the end totally surprised me, she seems like such a well put together person. I wonder what put her in there?
Looks like next week Jack and Kate go out and try to bargain for Walt...yeah I'm sure that will happen.
